A Mays Landing man was taken into custody Wednesday after police raided his home and found more than 12 ounces of methamphetamine and other illegal substances, according to authorities in Hamilton Township, New Jersey.
After the Township of Hamilton Police Department, assisted by the Atlantic County SWAT Team, carried out a search warrant at Thomas Collet’s residence, the 54-year-old man was placed under arrest.
