Mahwah Drug Bust Uncovers Psychedelic Mushrooms, Marijuana: Cops

MAHWAH, NJ — An out-of-stater was caught with a high quantity of weed and shrooms in Mahwah, according to authorities.

Kobe Rockwell, of North Carolina, was pulled over Monday when he was found with more than 100 pounds of marijuana, 30 pounds of potent dabs, several pounds of psilocybin "magic mushrooms," a non-prescribed opioid medicine, and narcotics packaging materials, police officials said.

Rockwell, 24, was traveling south on Route 17 in a Chrysler minivan, when an officer stopped him for multiple traffic violations, Chief Stephen Jaffe said. Police observed, what the chief said, were physical indicators of criminal activity, and deployed a drug-sniffing dog.

The K-9 was alerted to the drugs inside Rockwell's vehicle, and he was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, hashish oil and psilocybin, and with possession of the same and codeine and drug paraphernalia, the chief said.

Rockwell, police added, was arrested and taken to the Bergen County Jail to await an initial court appearance.
