3 Arrested, Ounce of Cocaine Seized in Barnegat Raid

Three local residents were arrested and one ounce of cocaine was seized last week when police raided a Barnegat home.

Sarah Sellarole, 20, of Barnegat, Joseph Gibbs, 39, of Waretown, and Ravon Terry, 23, of Barnegat were arrested on drug charges Jan. 3 when county detectives from the Prosecutor's Office Special Operations Group and Barnegat police executed a search warrant at 20 Highland Drive.

County authorities said a small amount of marijuana, $2,000 in cash and drug paraphernalia was found and seized along with the ounce of cocaine.

Sellarole, Gibbs and Terry were each charged with possession of more than a half-ounce of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Superior Court Judge Francis R. Hodgson set bail on each at $50,000, no 10 percent option.

Assisting in the investigation were members of the Ocean County SWAT Team, Barnegat Police Detective Bureau and the Barnegat K-9 Unit.
