PAULSBORO — Michael J. Joyner, 32, wanted for violating his parole, was arrested Jan. 23 by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office Fugitive Investigation Unit and the U.S. Marshal’s Service.

Joyner fled when officers approached, but they apprehended him in a wooded area behind his most recent address on Baird Avenue in Paulsboro, authorities said.

In addition to the parole violation, Joyner was charged with resisting arrest and possession of narcotics — nine glassine bags of suspected crack cocaine, said authorities.

Joyner was turned over to the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Department and will be held without bail, authorities said.

Joyner was paroled May 29, 2013 from a five-year state prison term for narcotics charges, said authorities.
