A simple Route 80 traffic stop for tinted windows and tailgating led to the arrests of two men driving with 360 pounds of marijuana from Canada to New York City, prosecutors said at a court hearing on Friday.
Highway police who arrested Shawn Porter and Jeremy Windoloski in Lodi last week allegedly noticed duffle bags packed away in the back of their Chevy Tahoe. Inside the bags were heat-sealed packages of marijuana with an estimated street value of $1.5 million, according to authorities.
Despite facing first-degree drug charges, a Superior Court judge on Friday ordered that Porter, 34, and Windoloski, 23, go free while their cases are pending. The pair had been held in Bergen County Jail since their arrests on April 27.

Keep Americans informed on border crisis
I understand it may not be of interest to all of your readers, but due to President Joe Biden s blunder we now have a crisis at our border that neither Biden nor his vice president, appointed to oversee it, will take responsibility for.
I recall many articles during the Trump administration that condemned the treatment of migrant children living in substandard conditions. At that time, the media took pictures and reported every aspect of inadequate living conditions in great detail.
Our leaders now in charge have kept the press out of the present horrible situation so as to soften criticism of Biden s screwup that is causing turmoil. The lack of reporting you could certainly underline as political as the players of a different party are now in charge.
