A business owner is facing drug distribution charges after police say they found narcotics were being sold out of his corner store in South Jersey.<\/p>\n
Jose R. Nunez, 41, of Camden, was arrested last week on various charges related to distributing the illicit drugs out of Duran Grocery, the Camden County Police Departmen<\/a>t said in a statement. <\/p>\n The store is located at the corner of Broadway and Chestnut Street in Camden. <\/p>\n Nunez is charged with two counts of second-degree and one count of third-degree distribution of prescription medication as well as three counts of fourth-degree possession of prescription medication, police said. <\/p>\n \u201cBusiness owners like this have no place in the city and shouldn\u2019t be allowed to pedal poison to our residents under the guise of operating as a legitimate merchant,\u201d Camden County Police Chief Gabriel Rodriguez said. \u201cWe are keeping a close eye on how businesses are operating, and this should be a clear and present message, if you want to participate in illegal activity, we will hold you accountable.\u201d <\/p>\n Following the arrest, the Camden Code Enforcement Department suspended the store\u2019s business license and indefinitely closed the store. <\/p>\n Police did not say what specific drugs Nunez was allegedly selling out of the business. <\/p>\n Our journalism needs your support.
