Blood drawn from Wright confirmed he had a blood alcohol content of .115%, over the .08% legal drinking limit, and a presence of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 100 times more potent than morphine, in his system, Wang said.
But Wright s attorney William Ware called the alcohol levels a concern but not the highest reading and vowed that there will be another story coming as to who drank from the Hennessey bottles, adding it was not my client.
Morris County Judge Steven Taylor recognized the tragedy of the incident and the seriousness of the charge, but weighed heavily on Wright s lack of criminal history, considerable family support and his continued employment when he agreed to release the 20-year-old on conditions.

Jersey City man sentenced to five years following shooting ×
U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo sentenced Jamel Armfield, 20, of Jersey City, previously convicted of three felonies, to 60 months in prison for illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition in connection with a June 2020 Jersey City shooting.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Armfield previously pleaded guilty by videoconference before Arleo to an indictment charging him with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.
On June 24, 2020, Armfield fired nine rounds of ammunition at a moving vehicle on Gates Avenue in Jersey City from a .45 caliber Springfield Armory semi-automatic handgun, Model XD-45 ACP. He also had in his possession several rounds .45 caliber ammunition.

North Bergen’s use-of-force rate is six percent, according to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office’s Use-of-Force Dashboard.
“Building trust between our officers and the community we serve has never been more critical to our mission, so I could not be more proud of the men and women of the North Bergen Police Department who are truly living up to our values by limiting the use of force whenever possible,” Police Chief Peter Fasilis said in a statement.
“I believe strongly that we are most effective when the residents know us, trust us, and believe we are here to protect them. Reducing use-of-force encounters helps build those relationships and makes our entire community safer.”

“This case is about the people’s right to speak and protest against a government policy. Our clients were using public sidewalks to express themselves and should be subject to the same laws as everyone else who uses them,” ACLU-NJ Legal Director Jeanne LoCicero said in a statement early this afternoon.
“These officials went to court to insulate themselves from opposing views. It’s not just a misuse of public resources, it’s also unconstitutional.”
The December 8th temporary restraining order, granted by Hudson County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Jablonski – who has since become the county assignment judge – included a number of specific parameters if protests were to continue, as HCV first reported.
