ROBBINSVILLE - A Jackson couple were arrested and charged after stashed heroin bags fell out of the front of their car following a traffic stop on I-195 Monday morning, police said.
John Dunn, 24, and Amber Winant, also 24, were stopped for an unsafe lane change and a missing front license plate in Robbinsville as they drove east on the highway in a 1999 Nissan Altima shortly before 12 p.m., Lt. Michael Polaski.
The two, who were traveling with two children - a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old -- were found with a small amount of heroin and a hypodermic needle, Polaski said.
The children were taken to the police station while the Dunn and Winant were processed and tow was called for their car, Polaski said.
As the car was loaded onto a trailer, hidden heroin fell out of the engine compartment of the car. Police found a total of 30 bags of heroin, Polaski said.
Dunn and Winant each were charged with possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia, Polaski said.
An investigation was ongoing Monday afternoon, Polaski said.
