The law firm of Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC, has been helping clients in New Brunswick and across the state since 1955. Christopher G.

New Brunswick Municipal Offenses

Resisting Arrest

Resisting arrest is more serious than disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct can mean up to six months in jail. Resisting arrest can result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years upon conviction, depending on the nature of the resistance. Some of the factors prosecutors consider in charging a person with resisting arrest are:

    • Was flight or fleeing involved?

    • Was physical force used against the officer involved?

    • Was an automobile involved?

Disorderly conduct cases are heard in municipal court. Resisting arrest charges are usually sent to the County Prosecutor’s Office.

Drug Charges

There are many different types of drug charges, such as the sale, distribution, or trafficking of narcotics. Possession of drugs or possession with the intent to sell drugs is a crime. Possessing drug paraphernalia is a crime, as is manufacturing or cultivating drugs. Violators of medical marijuana laws can also be charged.

The type and amount of the drugs involved determine the severity of the crime and where the drug offense is heard. The more serious cases are referred to the local county prosecutor. New Brunswick Municipal Court hears the following eight types of drug offenses.

    1. Possession of Marijuana ‑J.S.A. 2C:35‑10(a)(4).

    1. CDS (Controlled Dangerous Substance) Use or Under Influence ‑J.S.A. 2C:35‑10(b).

    1. Failure to deliver CDS to Officer J.S.A. 2C:35-10 (c).

    1. Toxic Chemicals ‑J.S.A. 2C:35‑10.4.

    1. Prescription legend drugs ‑J.S.A. 2C:35‑10.5.

    1. Possession of certain prescription drugs ‑J.S.A. 2C:35‑24.

    1. Possession of drug paraphernalia ‑J.S.A. 2C:36‑2.
