Middlesex County Man Admits To Selling Cocaine Along Jersey Shore

TOMS RIVER, NJ — A Piscataway man pleaded guilty to selling cocaine throughout Ocean County, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said Thursday.

Shaun Anderson, 47, pleaded guilty Tuesday before Ocean County Superior Court Judge Guy Ryan, to one count of distribution of more than a half-ounce of cocaine.

Anderson was arrested March 21, 2024, following a two-month investigation that identified him as distributing cocaine in Ocean County, the prosecutor's office said.

Once they identified Anderson as the suspect, detectives with the Ocean County Prosecutor and NJ State Police set up a sting. They say Anderson sold cocaine to undercover police officers in Lakewood and Toms River.

Sentencing is scheduled for March 7, and prosecutors will be seeking a 10-year prison sentence, authorities said.
