Jeffrey S. Carthens of Summit Avenue was charged with second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon (high-capacity magazine), and second-degree prohibited weapon (ghost gun), Warren County Prosecutor James L. Pfeiffer said.
The search warrant was carried out as a result of an investigation into the recent discharge of firearms throughout the town, Pfeiffer said.
The warrant, executed Thursday, turned up a 9mm Pantos “untraceable ghost gun” and a high-capacity magazine, investigators said.
Carthens was arrested in Newark on Friday, April 14 with help from the US Marshalls Service New York/New Jersey Fugitive Task Force.
