Carleton E. Dixon, 39, of New Vineyard was arrested after detectives Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella’s Narcotics Task Force stopped and searched his black 2012 Chevrolet Silverado on Tuesday, Feb. 8, the prosecutor said.
The contraband, weapon and cash were all seized, he said (You can legally possess up to six ounces of pot under New Jersey law. Any weight over that subjects you to criminal charges).
Dixon remained held Wednesday in the Bergen County Jail pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack on charges that include first-degree possession with the intent to sell pot, illegal weapons possession and money laundering, among other offenses.
