Two arrested at hotel for drug dealing

Two arrested at hotel for drug dealing
Men are believed to be main source for
psilocybin in county
BY ELAINE VAN DEVELDE
Staff Writer


TINTON FALLS ? A two-month investigation culminated in the arrest of two out-of-state men for possession and resale of psilocybin mushrooms, marijuana and paraphernalia out of the Red Roof Inn last week.

On March 20, Tinton Falls detectives, in cooperation with the Monmouth County Prosecutor?s Office, obtained a search warrant as a result of their investigation into alleged drug possession and sales out of a room at the Hope Road hotel.

After searching the room occupied by Lonn Imparato, 30, of Fairfield, Vt., and Jason Joseph Mihelic, 29, of Chicago, Ill., detectives seized more than 1.5 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms, more than 1 pound of "high grade" marijuana, about 100 handmade glass pipes, packaging materials and about $20,000 in cash, a prepared statement from the prosecutor?s office said.

Packaging materials that were left behind indicated that about 8 pounds of the mushrooms, "known on the street as ?magic mushrooms,? " had been sold prior to the search, the statement added.

The mushrooms have a street value of about $2,500 a pound, police said.

"The two subjects arrested are both from out of state and, through intelligence sources, are believed to be responsible for most of the psilocybin mushrooms available in the Monmouth County area," the statement from the prosecutor?s office added. "Additionally, the handmade pipes were sold to area stores by one of the defendants and range in price from $30 to $100 wholesale."

Imparato and Mihelic are believed to have stayed in area hotels from three to five days at a time in order to sell their products. They were accompanied by a large dog, which was seized by police at the time of the arrest, police said.

Specifically, Imparato was charged with possession and possession with intent to distribute the mushrooms, a third-degree offense; possession of marijuana, a fourth-degree offense; possession with intent to distribute marijuana, a third-degree offense; and possession of heroin, a third-degree offense; and possession of narcotic paraphernalia, a disorderly persons offense. His bail was set by state Superior Court Judge Paul A Kapalko in the amount of $130,000 with no 10 percent option.

Mihelic was charged with possession and possession with intent to distribute psilocybin mushrooms, a third-degree offense; possession of marijuana, a fourth-degree offense; possession with intent to distribute marijuana, a third-degree offense; and possession of narcotic paraphernalia, a disorderly persons offense. His bail was set at $77,500 by Kapalko with no 10 percent option.

Because if you sold an ounce for $150 which by the way is VERY cheap in the New York, New Jersey not to mention breaking it down into smaller street sizes you would get $2400. Simple math

Yeah, that comes out to $156.25 an ounce, or $19.53 an 8th. In my area they sell for $20-$30 an 8th, so that looks about right to me.

You can say a pound is worth that much because and 8th is that much, that would be an extreamely expensive pound. A pound is worth less than half that.

8 lbs. I am trying to imagine how much space 8lbs would take.

my friend has 80 grams dried and it takes up a cigar box. That is .176 lbs!

That comes to about 45 cigar boxes of shrooms.

Man that is a bunch! :grin:

> I am trying to imagine how much space 8lbs would take.

I have seen a QP compressed into a dime bag... it was amazing, the more we worked to break it apart, the more it gave. Not the best smoke in the world, but you can pack a lot into a little space with enough pressure.

Don't forget, cops multiply by 5 when they report the bust... the DA multiplies by 5 again when they rewrite the charges... the media multiplies by 5 again when they release the news... a few ounces of cannabis can easily become several pounds by the time the courts and media are done with it.

It stated 8 lbs of mushrooms. I have seen herb compressed a lot but not mushrooms.

I am not saying there numbers are right. I am just amazed at that many mushrooms. I mean, man 8 lbs is 3,628.72 grams, 1,036 3.5 gram doses, or the estimated output of 700 PF cakes (6g output each), or the estimated output of (first flush) 9 x 60" long x 22" deep x 7' tall grow chambers with 4 shelves of casings each, or a casing that is, well HUGE! (I am getting numbers in the 10,000 sq in range) (NOTE: all those numbers are just fun guesses.)

That is just a BIG grow no matter how you look at it.

You're numbers are way off Cyber. If you figure you can get a minimum of 2 lbs wet per square foot(and that is on the low side) then you would only have to have 80 square feet of cropping surface at about 6-8 inches deep to attain the 8 lbs dry. This can be done in a room of a size no bigger than 10x10 and that is on the high side. I knew people that ddi that and more in rooms 8x10. Where did you get 10000 square feet? that's insane.

I agree, it's not your english..you just leave out key words here and there. I wasn't trying to rip you but rather just inform you if you were under the impression that one would need 10000 sq feet. Anyway.....stay away from hotels that sell shrooms

Not a problem, I thought that when I wrote "10,000 sq in" that "sq" was the abbreviation for "square" and "in" was the abbreviation for "inches". :confused:
