Ocean Township – July 12, Officer Dean H. Schoch II was on routine patrol in the area of State Highway 18 and West Park Avenue when he observed a car committee a motor vehicle violation.

According to Detective Lieutenant Kevin L. Faller in a prepared statement Schoch stopped the vehicle which was being driven by a 24 year old Tinton Falls woman identified as Natacha Perez. Assisting on the stop was Sergeant Gregory Schenck, and during their investigation the officers discovered that Perez and a passenger, Ronda Feacher, 37, Red Bank, were in possession of heroin, crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, a knife and brass knuckles.

“While being questioned, Ms. Feacher provided a false name. It was also determined that Ms. Feacher attempted to dispose of evidence by placing an undetermined drug into her mount and swallowing it,” wrote Faller.
