Jackson, NJ stabbing leads to drug arrests
JACKSON — A stabbing at an apartment on Sunday led to a drug arrest, according to Jackson police.
Jackson police were called to the Prospect Pointe Apartments on South New Prospect Road where a 40-year-old man reported being stabbed multiple times during an argument around 3:25 p.m.
During the disagreement, the apartment resident said another man arrived and stabbed him before leaving and going back to the home of the man he was arguing with, according to Jackson police.
Officers went to the home of Daniel Meadows, 38, and after another man who lived at the home allowed police inside, officers said they found 30 bricks of heroin, 10 grams of crack cocaine and paraphernalia. Meadows was charged with possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia and released on a summons.
