According to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, two Ocean County people have been charged with distributing cocaine and methamphetamine within the county.

After a three-month investigation, Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer revealed that Joseph Broxmeyer, 58, of Jackson, and Tariki Foster, 40, of Manchester, were taken into custody on September 19.

About 12 ounces of methamphetamine and 300 grams of cocaine were disseminated throughout Ocean County by Broxmeyer and Foster throughout the investigation, according to Billhimer.

On September 19, as Broxmeyer was being watched, detectives stopped him and took him into custody, according to the prosecutor's office.

Following that, investigators carried out search warrants at residences in Jackson and Toms River, as well as at a storage facility in Brick. According to the prosecutor's office, they found $5,168 in cash, unidentified quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, also known as ecstasy), and drug paraphernalia.

According to the prosecutor's office, Foster was taken into custody at the residence in Toms River.

Foster was accused of financial facilitation, possession of MDMA, conspiracy to possess more than five ounces of cocaine with intent to distribute, distribution of five ounces or more of cocaine, and possession of five ounces or more of cocaine with intent to distribute. According to the prosecutor's office, he was brought to the Ocean County Jail and is being detained until trial.

Five or more ounces of cocaine, five or more ounces of cocaine with intent to distribute, conspiracy to possess more than five ounces of cocaine with intent to distribute, five or more ounces of methamphetamine, five or more ounces of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia were among the charges brought against Broxmeyer.

As a result of New Jersey Bail Reform, Broxmeyer was arrested and brought to the Ocean County Jail before being released.
