The man known to thousands of "Wing Bowl" fans as El Wingador, is in trouble with New Jersey State Police.
William "El Wingador" Simmons, 50, of Woodbury Heights, NJ, was arrested on June 15th for drug distribution.  Simmons 2010 Kia was searched during a vehicle stop by a trooper in Harrison Township.
The search uncovered approximately $8,000 worth of powdered cocaine and over $4,000 in cash.
Simmons was charged with 1st degree distribution of drugs and placed in Gloucester County jail in default of $100,000 full cash bail.
His car, emblazoned with his "El Wingador" nickname, was seized. 
"It is regrettable that Mr. Simmons' notoriety has taken a negative turn.  However, the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office works closely with other law enforcement agencies to stop the significant distribution of controlled dangerous substances that is reflected in the charges against him," said Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean F. Dalton.
