Police dog sniffs out drugs, leading to arrests
WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ – A traffic stop conducted on Tuesday at Highway 34 near the Garden State Parkway led to a drug bust with the assistance of K9 Axle, a 6-year-old German Shepherd trained in narcotics detection. The alert from K9 Axle directed the officers to uncover methamphetamine and fentanyl inside the vehicle.
The suspects, Edward Flowers, 47, and Johannes Fort, 36, both from New York, were arrested. They are charged with distribution and possession of methamphetamine, possession of fentanyl, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Following the arrest, both individuals were taken to Monmouth County Jail and are awaiting a future court appearance. Their charges emphasize the consequences of drug distribution and possession as enforced by New Jersey law.
Wall Township Police Chief Sean O’Halloran commended the officers involved, stating, “I want to commend our dedicated officers and K9 unit for their outstanding work in this drug arrest.” He also acknowledged the crucial role of K9 Axel in the operation.

Police Arrest Suspect in Narcotics Case
**Galloway Township, NJ** – A narcotics arrest took place early Saturday when Officer Rao observed suspicious activity in a parking lot on Brigantine Blvd. The situation unfolded around 4:22 a.m. as a vehicle without a front license plate left the area, catching Rao’s attention.
Officer Rao, along with Officer Sofield, stopped the vehicle at the 4300 Block of Brigantine Blvd. During this stop, Rao’s observations led him to suspect further criminal activity by the vehicle’s occupants. This suspicion prompted a request for a narcotics detection K9.
Officer LaSassa and K9 Evo of the Galloway Township Police Department arrived to assist with the situation. K9 Evo detected the presence of narcotics, leading to a search that uncovered suspected cocaine and Codeine.
Subsequently, Sharod Gillard-Twitty from Middlesex, NJ, was apprehended and charged with possession of cocaine, possession with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance. He was released on a summons pending a court date.
