TOMS RIVER — An admitted drug dealer who was caught with about 4,150 doses of heroin worth $25,000 was sentenced to just six months of rehab and five years of probation.
Gary Fox, 30, of Toms River, who has a criminal record that includes previous drug convictions, avoided prison by being accepted by Drug Court and pleading guilty to two counts of third-degree possession with intent to distribute and a count of possession.

A month later, police at his Old Street home found another 40 wax folds of heroin, more than 1.5 pounds of marijuana, $2,000 in cash, prescription medications, a scale and packaging materials.
Fox was initially charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to distribute, possession of over 50 grams of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of Alprazolam and Suboxone, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He plead guilty to two counts of third-degree possession with intent to distribute and one count of possession.
Police on Tuesday said they could not provide more details about the investigation.
This is not the first time Fox has been sentenced to rehab as a result of drug charges.
In 2009, he received the same sentence from a different judge in Ocean County for arrests in 2006 and 2007 on charges of possession of cocaine and Percocet.
Fox was represented by the Public Defender’s Office.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article has been updated to make clear that the sentence was not a result of plea deal with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, which our Facebook account had incorrectly reported.
