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.
The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission held its second-ever meeting on Thursday, the first time members of the public had their chance to make comments on the state s existing medical marijuana and, eventually, recreational legal weed industries.
Nearly 400 people were logged into the meeting, held via Zoom, and another 100 people sent written comments to the CRC, chairwoman Dianna Houneou said.
Comments from the public were varied: Hightstown Councilwoman Cristina Fowler asked the commission to provide more detailed guidance on the consequences if towns decide to opt out of allowing cannabis businesses to operate.
And a person who identified himself as Cameron Pitt called on the CRC to revoke a cap on the potency of medical marijuana concentrates.
