Sussex County Sheriff’s Detectives, Looking for Fugitive, Find Drugs Instead
Sheriff Michael F. Strada today announced the arrest of Daniel J. Marks, age 26, of Wantage Township.
On Wednesday, July 16, 2014, while assigned to Fugitive Apprehension duties within the Township of Wantage, Sheriff’s Detectives Matthew Caine and William Ficacci arrived at the suspected residence of a fugitive. Detectives Caine and Ficacci spoke with the owner of that residence who advised them she did not know where the fugitive was located but invited them inside the residence to ask her son. Upon entering the residence to speak with the son, Detective Caine observed several quantities of marijuana as well as packaging materials and other drug paraphernalia. Further investigation revealed the marijuana to belong to Daniel Marks. Marks was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance/marijuana in an amount more than 1 ounce but less than 5 pounds as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. He was issued summonses to appear in Court at a future date and released on his own recognizance.
A charge is merely an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
