MAYS LANDING – An Atlantic County grand jury indicted Tony Griffin, 35, of Margate Thursday, Nov. 13 on multiple drug and weapons offenses and one count of eluding, Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel announced.
It is alleged that on 10 occasions in January through April, Griffin sold cocaine and heroin to an undercover Atlantic City police officer. On April 3 police attempted to arrest Griffin while he was driving on Ventnor Avenue in Atlantic City, but he took off traveling up to 90 miles an hour, according to the prosecutor.
Griffin drove to Cambridge Avenue in Ventnor and jumped out of his vehicle. He was captured a short while later hiding under the boardwalk and was arrested and charged with drug sales and eluding, Assistant Prosecutor Mario Formica stated. 
Authorities from multiple agencies executed a search warrant at Griffin’s Ventnor Avenue home in Margate, Formica said. They recovered three firearms including an assault firearm and seized cocaine, heroin and $3,300 in cash. The drugs confiscated, including the sales to the undercover officer, exceeded half an ounce each, Formica said.
Atlantic City Narcotics Detective Christopher Barber and members of the Margate Police Department conducted the investigation.
