Franklin Township cops recently charged a soccer coach for alleged marijuana distribution. The investigation began two months ago, per the news. And it culminated with a traffic stop. Indeed, the cops stopped the coach in a Malaga business parking lot. The cops arrested the high school boys’ soccer coach and a passenger in the vehicle. A search of the coach’s home resulted in the alleged seizure of two pounds of marijuana candies. Additionally, the cops allegedly seized $10,000 in cash, per the news. Remarkably, the news does not divulge the details of the two-month investigation. Furthermore, the news does not reveal why the police executed enforcement action at a local business as opposed to the coach’s residence. Furthermore, the news does not indicate how the police can prove the candy contains marijuana.
Marijuana Distribution, N.J.S.A. 2c:35-5
New Jersey law prohibits controlled dangerous substance (CDS) distribution. It is defined as any person who knowingly or purposely distributes CDS or CDS analog, or distributes counterfeit CDS. The degree of crime and penalties for marijuana distribution, based on N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5, depend on the amount of vegetation, including any adulterants or dilutants.
