Police Blotter: Possession of CDS and Vehicle Burglary

Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS)—

At 2:34 a.m. on Thursday, May 5, officers patrolling the 300 block of Champion Avenue noticed a suspicious vehicle in the Creswood Court Apartments complex.

According to police reports, the vehicle's driver was identified as 57-year-old Bridgeton man Kenneth A. Freeland Jr. The passenger, a female Bridgeton resident, was identified by police as 25-year-old Leni M. Toms.

Police said Toms appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance.

Freeland reportedly surrendered a packet to officers, containing a substance police believed to be heroin. She was subsequently placed under arrest.

A computer check was conducted on the vehicle's passenger, Toms, which revealed three active warrants for her arrest.

Police said all three warrants were issued from Camden City Municipal Court, holding a combined total bail of $2,436. 

When advised she was being placed under arrest, police said Toms surrendered a hypodermic syringe to responding officers.

Both individuals were transported to Collingswood Police Department, where police said Toms was charged with possession of CDS and possession of a hypodermic syringe, and Freeland was charged with third-degree possession of CDS.

Police said Freeland was released on his own recognizance, and Toms was remanded to county jail.

According to reports, both Freeland and Toms are scheduled to appear in Camden City on May 13, at 8:30 a.m., for their respective Central Judicial Processing (CJP) hearings.

Upon gaining access to the car, police said the perpetrator removed three items, holding a combined value of $690.
