Updated May 06, 2021;
A New Jersey man was arrested Tuesday after investigators said they found 9 pounds of crystal meth worth $400,000 during a search of his home.
During the week of April 4, the United States Postal Service alerted the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office that they had intercepted a package containing about 3 pounds of crystal meth, according to county Prosecutor Mark Musella.
The package was mailed from Arizona and was destined for the home of Eric Raymond Shankland, 48, of Moonachie, Musella said.
On Tuesday, the package was delivered and received by Shankland, according to Musella. Investigators then executed a search warrant at the home and said they seized an additional 6 pounds of crystal meth, along with paraphernalia used to distribute the drug.
