The K-9 officer found the black bag containing the contraband, and Wells was discovered to have 81 unprescribed Xanax bars, police said.

Wells was placed in the Monmoth County Correctional Institution in Freehold. He's charged with three counts each of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute, possession with intent to distribute in a school zone, resisting arrest, and trespassing.

Charges are accusations. Defendants are presumed innocent unless, and until, found guilty in a court of law.
