Maximo Tavaras, 56, gave them permission to search his Mills Street apartment and an adjacent storage room, Sheriff Richard H. Berdnik said Wednesday.
Along with the raw cocaine (valued at $24,000 wholesale) and the marijuana ($3,000), they seized found 32 Xanax pills, two digital scales, empty zip-locking and vacuum-sealed bags and nearly $2,000 in drug proceeds, the sheriff said.
Maximo remained held Wednesday in the Passaic County Jail pending court action on a variety of drug-related counts.
