Prosecutor: 7 Fair Lawn, Saddle Brook Residents Arrested in Heroin Sweep

Seven Fair Lawn and Saddle Brook residents were among the 325 people arrested in an undercover drug sweep that targeted drug sales in Paterson between April 7 and May 30, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli announced at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

Molinelli joined Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp and Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes to announce the arrest results of the “2014 Heroin Initiative.”

• Christopher Allison, 34, of Fair Lawn, on heroin possession charges
• Dylan Oschanski, 21, of Saddle Brook, on heroin possession charges
• Jayson Oviedo, 32, of Saddle Brook, on heroin possession charges
• Tyler Molner, 22, of Saddle Brook, on heroin and crack cocaine possession charges
• Joseph Wysocki, 21, of Saddle Brook, on heroin possession charges
• Daniel Gallagher, 29, of Fair Lawn, on heroin possession charges
• Christopher Langlois, 40, of Fair Lawn, on heroin possession charges

The eight-week task force combined law enforcement officers from Bergen, Passaic, Sussex, and Morris Counties to “combat the heroin epidemic affecting our counties,” Knapp said in a release. According to the release, the heroin sold in Paterson is the “most pure and potent” in the US.

According to Molinelli, 11,794 bags of street­packaged heroin, 1,200 grams of raw heroin, 32 guns, and about $25,000 in cash were seized by the multi-jurisdictional task force.

"Task force officers also dismantled two heroin 'mills' where heroin was being packaged and stamped for sale on the streets of Paterson," Molinelli said.
