A pair of men could not sleep in peace inside an idling vehicle on 12th Avenue early Monday morning.

Rashane Lewis, 20-year-old, of Paterson, and his car mate found themselves in a nightmare, at around 4:03 a.m., when a sheriff’s office approached. Lewis had small amount of marijuana and four bundles of heroin labeled “Rolex” in his possession, according to Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik.

Lewis had $880 in suspected drug proceeds. Authorities charged him with four drug offenses. He was released after being charged on a complaint, authorities said. His passenger had no outstanding warrants and was released.
