Jason Cintron was the target of a lengthy narcotics investigation initiated by the Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA Task Force.

On February 13, 2023, Jason Cintron, 39, of Hammonton, was
sentenced to 11 years in New Jersey State Prison after pleading guilty to first-degree Possession with the Intent to Distribute Crystal Methamphetamine.

Cintron was the target of a lengthy narcotics investigation initiated by the Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA Task Force. A search warrant executed on Cintron’s residence in Hammonton resulted in the recovery of approximately one pound of crystal methamphetamine, as
well as a handgun magazine loaded with hollow point bullets.

Another search warrant which was executed on Cintron’s Ford F150 truck revealed approximately 25 bricks and three bundles of packaged heroin (approximately 276.5 grams), a plastic bag containing approximately 57.4 grams of raw suspected heroin/fentanyl, and four bags containing a
total of 25.1 grams of crystal methamphetamine, and $459.00 in United States currency.

This investigation was led by the Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA Task Force with the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office’s Gangs, Guns, & Narcotics Unit, and the Hammonton Police Department.

Assistant Prosecutor Deirdre Laws represented the State in the matter.
