Secaucus Man Sold Heroin From His 4th Street Home, Police Charge

SECAUCUS, NJ — At 10 o'clock Tuesday night, Secaucus resident Jason Keidel was arrested after police raided his 4th Street apartment and car, where they said they found more than 100 folds of suspected heroin, more than seventy films of buprenorphine and naloxone (similar to Narcan) and unidentified pills.

Police say Keidel was selling the drugs out of his Secaucus home.

Secaucus Police have been investigating Keidel since February 4, when police responded to a 911 call of an overdose in the parking lot of 10 Meadowlands Parkway (the liquor store and Subway plaza under the Rt. 3 bridge).

Police officers administered nasal Narcan and revived the man, who was found in possession of thirty heroin folds.

Detectives say they linked Keidel as the distributor of that heroin.

“All lives matter and the Secaucus Police Department is committed to investigating all overdoses both fatal and non-fatal,” Secaucus Police Chief Dennis Miller said. “If we are able to identify those responsible for distributing this poison, we will fully investigate them and prosecute them to fullest extent that the law will allow.”

Keidel, 51 of Secaucus, was charged with Possession with the Intent to Distribute Heroin [2C:35 5b(3)], Possession with the Intent to Distribute Suboxone [2C:35-5b(13)], three (3) counts of Possession with the Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance within 1,000 feet of a School [2C:35-7], three (3) counts of Possession with the Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance within 500 feet of Public Property [2C:35-7.1], Distribution of a Heroin [2C:35-5b(3)], Distribution of a Suboxone [2C:35- 5b(13)] and five (5) counts of Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance [2C:35-10a(1)].

He was lodged in the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
