“Two Clifton police officers found hundreds of illegal Oxycodone and Xanax pills and dozens of rounds of ammo — along with a half-pound of pot — during a traffic stop, authorities said. Officers Christopher O’Brien and Patrolman Hui Chen arrested the 34-year-old Passaic driver after stopping the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado around 6:20 p.m. Monday near the intersection of Madison Avenue and First Street and determining that the contraband belonged to him, Detective Lt. Robert Bracken said. The total haul: 314 Oxycodone pills, numerous Xanax pills, MDMA, 23 grams of marijuana, 10 hollow-point rounds of ammunition, 36 rounds of other handgun ammunition, a magazine (for a handgun), drug paraphernalia and cash.”
