Police: Noise Complaint Led to Drug Arrest

Freehold Borough police called to investigate a noise complaint on Spring Terrace arrested a borough man on a drug possession charge.

Ptl. Eduardo Santana responded to Spring Terrace at midnight on Wednesday, Sept. 21 after a resident called to complain of loud individuals drinking in public, according to Lt. Mark Wodell. During the course of the investigation, Santana arrested Tomas Velasco-Juarez, 28, on charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance believed to be cocaine and consumption of an alcoholic beverage in public, Wodell said.

Velasco-Juarez was processed and released.

Regardless of the charges, every defendant is presumed innocent, unless and until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, following a trial at which the defendant has all of the trial rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and state law.
