  BRICK – When neighbors on Baywood Boulevard suspected drug dealing going on in a home, they called the cops. The police were glad they did. They wound up arresting six people who had various drugs, such as crack and heroin.

  The Street Crimes Unit investigated the house after the neighbors called, concerned that someone on their street was a dealer. After seeing enough to suggest they might be right, the detectives executed a search warrant on the night of August 26. The following people were arrested:

  • Michelle Lanzieri, 54, was charged on a warrant for possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, possession of hypodermic needles, possession of paraphernalia and maintaining a nuisance. She was the primary resident of the home.
  • Ryan Chapman, 39, from Howell, was charged on a warrant for possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, possession of hypodermic needles, possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.
  • John Brown Jr., 51, from Point Pleasant Beach, was charged on a warrant for possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, possession of hypodermic needles and paraphernalia. Brown Jr. also had an outstanding warrant for his arrest out of Lakewood for theft of an automobile.
  • Daniel Iacovelli, 39, from Brick, was charged on a summons for possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, possession of hypodermic needles and paraphernalia.
  • Jill Farrelly, 38, from Brick, was charged on a warrant for possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, possession of marijuana, possession of hypodermic needles and paraphernalia.
  • Tracy Martin, 37, from Brick, was charged on a warrant for possession of crack cocaine, possession of heroin, possession of marijuana, possession of hypodermic needles, possession of Xanax, amphetamines, Suboxone, and paraphernalia.
