Officers originally arrested Rosario around 4:30 p.m. Thursday when police say they spotted a Honda Civic speeding along Sicklerville Road. Officers say the driver and front passenger switched seats in the parking lot of a Wawa as police approached the vehicle.

During the traffic stop, police say Rosario, a passenger in the Civic, gave a false name but officers still were able to properly identify him, as they brought Rosario into custody for several outstanding warrants for his arrest.

At the time, police say Rosario was in possession of six bags of heroin and 13 bags containing heroin residue.

After vomiting the 32 additional bags of heroin at the jail, police charged Rosario and then transported him to a local hospital.
