The two occupants, 64-year-old Roy John Pickell Jr. of Brick Township and 59-year-old Joseph Coiro of Whiting, were arrested. Both were charged with three counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of furosemide, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia.
