Troopers seized about 1.4 pounds of DMT from a 33-year-old software engineer named Yusuf Samantar during a Saturday morning traffic stop on the New Jersey Turnpike after the Newark resident was seen driving erratically.
Police say the bust represents the first dealer-sized quantity of DMT seized in New Jersey.
DMT is typically sold for about $200 a gram, giving the seizure a street value of about $127,000.
