  • IN RE WEAPONS OF A.S.
    PER CURIAM A.S. appeals from a February 18, 2011 order pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:25-21d(3) for forfeiture of firearms and revocation of his firearm purchaser identification card.

  • STATE OF NEW JERSEY v. SOLOMON N. PETERS
    PER CURIAM Plaintiff State of New Jersey appeals from the July 15, 2010 Law Division order, which granted the motion of defendant Solomon N. Peters to suppress evidence. We affirm. The following facts are derived from evidence presented at the hearing on the motion to suppress, which included two video and audio recordings made by the Bedminster Township Police Department. On December 18, 2007, defendant and his girlfriend, Jasmine Yearwood, were traveling in the Township of Bedminster when their 1995 BMW 325I became disabled in a snow bank. Police Officer Thomas Valente responded to defendant's 9-1-1 call for assistance. The officer arrived at the scene at approximately 9:17 p.m. and saw defendant leaning on the BMW's driver's side rear fender, and saw Yearwood sitting in the front passenger seat. Defendant asked the officer to call a tow truck to tow the vehicle out of the snow bank and bring it to Easton, Pennsylvania, where he and Yearwood were headed.

    PER CURIAM By leave granted, the State appeals from a May 6, 2011 Law Division order granting the suppression motion filed by defendants Derrick Brown, Leroy Carstarphen and Kareem Strong. The sole issue presented in the Law Division, and before us on appeal, is whether the Camden police possessed a reasonable basis to conclude that the Camden rowhouse in question was abandoned, thereby entitling the police to search the interior of the premises without a search warrant. Because the motion judge's findings of fact are well supported by the record, and his legal conclusions sound, we affirm. I.
