WOODBRIDGE, N.J. - Authorities say a New York man was hauling more than 300 pounds of marijuana when police stopped his van in Woodbridge.
Forty-five-year-old Norris Sinclair of Brooklyn was taken into custody Tuesday.
His vehicle was stopped after officers got information that marijuana was being shipped from Los Angeles to Queens, N.Y., and that a transfer would occur in Woodbridge.
After obtaining a search warrant, Woodbridge police and Middlesex County investigators found the marijuana in 14 boxes inside the van. Its value is estimated at $800,000.
Sinclair is charged with possession of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute. He is being held at the Middlesex County jail on $100,000 bail.
Authorities did not know if he had retained a lawyer, and a call placed to his home Wednesday went unanswered.
