CRANFORD — A Garwood man sitting in a parked van in Cranford was arrested Tuesday after police found steroids and syringes in his vehicle, authorities said.
Jack Poffenberger, 48, was in the 1998 Ford van, parked in the lot of a closed business at East South Avenue and Meeker Avenue around 6:30 p.m., police said.
Cranford police officer Steven D’Ambola decided to investigate, and a search of the vehicle turned up 28 syringes and two bottles of suspected steroids, according to police.
Poffenberger was charged with drug possession, possession of hypodermic needles and having an open container in a vehicle. He was released pending an appearance in Union County Superior Court, police said.
The incident was not Poffenberger's first run-in with local authorities — according to published reports, he was arrested in Clark in April 2012 on charges of receiving stolen property, drug paraphernalia and multiple warrants. A month later, he was arrested in Cranford after trying to hide from police officers behind a parked car, and was allegedly found in possession of heroin.
