I responded to a report of a man with a shopping cart yelling at people. Upon arrival, I found the suspect pushing a Walmart cart; he was visibly intoxicated with slurred speech and pinpoint pupils. The suspect admitted to using heroin earlier that morning. A records check confirmed an active $2,500 warrant for shoplifting. During a search incident to arrest, I located a straw with dark brown residue in his pocket, which he unsuccessfully attempted to claim was a toothpick. Charges: - 2C:20-11B(6) (Theft of a shopping cart) - 2C:36-2 (Possession of Drug Paraphernalia) - 2C:35-10(b) (Under the Influence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance) --------------------------------- All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. This channel is made strictly for educational and news gathering purposes. Not affiliated with any law enforcement agency.
