VILLAS — Lower Township police on May 28 at approximately 10 p.m. while conducting a drug interdiction operation in the Shawcrest section of Lower Township arrested a subject who was in the process of delivering heroin.
The suspect is identified as Heath Lindholm, 36 years of age, of the 1100 block of Delaware
Avenue in Villas. He was under surveillance as he traveled into Shawcrest to
deliver a large amount of heroin to a business location in that section of Lower Township.
Patrol and detective vehicles intercepted him as he sat in a parked motor vehicle upon his
arrival at the destination. As detectives approached the subject they observed a packet of
heroin in the suspect’s hand.
Lindholm was placed under arrest. Further investigation disclosed a total of 5 bundles consisting of 40 bags of heroin with an approximate street value of $1000.00. The remaining packages that were recovered had been hidden in the arrestee’s
sneaker and on the seat where Lindholm was seated in the motor vehicle.
The suspect was arrested at the scene and taken to the Lower Township Police Department
for processing. Judge David DeWeese set bail at $100,000 cash for the defendant who is
charged with possession of heroin and possession of heroin with the intent to distribute.
The subject was later transferred to the Cape May County Correctional Center in lieu of bail.
Lindholm had previously been arrested for possession of 80 bags of heroin on April 24, 2009
and was currently awaiting trial on those charges at the time of his most recent arrest.
Detective Chris Lambert, Detective Joseph Boyle and Special Officer John Menz investigated
the case.
