Police: Wanted Man Arrested with 10 Bags of Cocaine

Police say a man wanted on outstanding warrants was in possession of 10 bags of cocaine when officers caught up to him following a brief foot chase at La Cascata Wednesday evening.

Members of the Gloucester Township Police Department's Operations Response Unit were conducting proactive patrols at the Kelly Drivers Lane townhouse community when they observed 30-year-old Ahmad Miller pull up in front of his home in a green Plymouth minivan around 5:40 p.m.

Knowing Miller was wanted on warrants, Patrolmen Ed O'Lano and Thomas Wynne approached the 30-year-old La Cascata resident, who proceeded to run through a courtyard and several buildings toward the 7-Eleven store on Blackwood Clementon Road, Lt. Jason Gittens said.

Miller resisted the officers' attempts to place him under arrest, resulting in their using pepper spray to subdue him, Gittens said.

In addition to being served the outstanding warrants, Miller was charged with obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, possession of cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He was lodged in Camden County Jail on $14,500 bail.
