Police also recovered an orange cap to a syringe needle on one of the seats in the car, as well as several other small bags of suspected heroin in a rip in the fabric of the driver's side visor.

Goff was transported to the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center, North Brunswick,where his bailwas set at $5,000.

The vehicle was towed from the scene.
