Keansburg Woman Charged with Cocaine Distribution by Hazlet Police

A Keansburg woman has been arrested and charged by Hazlet police for cocaine possession and distribution, according to Monmouth County court records.

Angela Boden-Scotti, 50, was arrested on December 1 in Hazlet Township for allegedly being in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, described in court records as a “powdery white substance” that was suspected to be cocaine, a third degree charge.

Boden-Scotti was found to be in possession of an amount of the substance “greater than one half ounce but less than five ounces”, according to court records. For the amount, she was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, a second degree crime.

Boden-Scotti was brought to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in lieu of $160,000 bail, with no 10% posting option, as set by Judge John Tassini. She has a first court appearance scheduled for December 8.

An arrest is not a conviction, and every defendant is presumed innocent until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.
