MIDDLE TOWNSHIP, Oct. 21, 2026 — A 53-year-old Rio Grande man has been charged with drug distribution after a search of his home, Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland and Middle Township Police Chief Tracey Super announced Wednesday.
The Prosecutor's Office Gangs, Guns and Narcotics Task Force wrapped up an investigation into drug distribution in Rio Grande on Wednesday, the office said. The same day, the task force, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, Middle Township police and the Cape May County Regional SWAT Team served a court-authorized search warrant at the home of Joseph M. Quinn.
Investigators seized less than half an ounce of methamphetamine and items associated with drug distribution, according to the Prosecutor's Office.
Quinn is charged with third-degree distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, third-degree possession of methamphetamine and fourth-degree possession with intent to distribute drug paraphernalia. He was released on a summons pending court proceedings.
In New Jersey, a third-degree crime carries three to five years in state prison.
