Joseph DiCarolis, 39, of Carneys Point, allegedly stole six oxycodone pills on May 16, said the Salem County Prosecutor's Office. The charges were the result of an internal affairs investigation that began at the department and was transferred over to the prosecutor's office.
DiCarolis was charged with possession of oxycodone without a lawful prescription and two counts of theft of prescription narcotics. The Salem County Prosecutor's Office served DiCarolis around 2:30 p.m Monday.
DiCarolis did not have drugs on him at the time of his arrest and was released pending a future court appearance. The Salem County Prosecutor's Office did not go into detail about the theft or where the pills came from.
