Hackettstown police: Wanted woman had heroin

HACKETTSTOWN – A woman picked up on outstanding warrants by bail bondsmen is facing additional charges after she was caught trying to get rid of heroin and drug paraphernalia, police said.

At 1:07 p.m. on Friday, police responded to the Quick Chek on Main Street in reference to a female believed to be in possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

The ensuing investigation determined that a bail bonds company had Tiffany Michalko, 26, of Nashville, Tenn., in custody on four warrants that were issued by the Warren County Superior Court.

Prior to her being put into custody, Michalko tossed four bags of suspected heroin stamped “Silver Surfer,” a hypodermic needle, a glass pipe with Brillo, several empty heroin wax folds and two empty plastic bags with suspected heroin residue into the bushes, police said.

Michalko was charged with possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia. Her bail was set at $7,500.

Michalko was then lodged into the Warren County Correctional Facility on the Hackettstown charges and on the Superior Court warrants.
