Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest and Raritan Borough Police Department Chief Laurence Hess today announced the arrest of Bernard Ramos, 29, of First Avenue in Raritan Borough, N.J. He has been charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, in addition to other offenses, the Forrest stated in a press release.
The prosecutor gives the following account of the incidents and allegations surrounding the arrest:
Ramos' arrest is the result of a two-month long narcotics investigation conducted by the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force along with the Raritan Borough Police Department. As a result of the ongoing narcotics investigation, a Somerset County Superior Court Search Warrant was obtained for the residence and the person of defendant Bernard Ramos. On July 31, members of the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force and members of the Raritan Borough Police Department executed the search warrant on the residence.
As a result of the search warrant being executed, about one ounce of marijuana and drug paraphernalia (i.e. plastic baggies, digital scale), were seized from Ramos' residence. The marijuana seized from the residence has an estimated street value of $300.
Bail for Ramos was set at $5,000. He is being held at Somerset County Jail pending bail.
Charges against Ramos include third-degree possession of marijuana with intent to distribute while within 1000 feet of school property; third-degree possession of drug paraphernalia; and a disorderly persons offense.
