A 33-year-old New Jersey man was arrested on drug charges Monday following an Interstate 91 traffic stop when a police dog led state police to some heroin and cocaine hidden in the vehicle, state police said.
Dion Johnson of Linden, New Jersey, was stopped on I-91 North near exit 22 by Trooper Robert Wyckoff for a motor vehicle violation just before 9 a.m., said Trooper Dustin Fitch of the State Police media relations bureau.

Johnson was placed in custody when a records check showed his New Jersey drivers license had been suspended, Finch said.
Trooper K-9 Matthew Donah, who responded to the scene to assist Wyckoff, had his dog, Brutus, search the vehicle. The dog alerted troopers to several locations inside the car to where drugs were found.
Troopers found 250 packets of heroin and a bag of cocaine.
He was charged with possession of a class B substance, cocaine, possession of a class A substance, heroin, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and a motor vehicle equipment violation, Fitch said.
Johnson was booked at the state police barracks in Northampton and arraigned at Hampshire District Court.
