Two Arrests Made for Marijuana Distribution at Cape May Court House Smoke Shop
During the month of July members of the Middle Township Police Department received a citizen complaint that marijuana was being sold illegally from the Enlightened Smoke and Specialty Shop located at 14 South Main Street in the Cape May Court House section of Middle Township.
An investigation was conducted by the Middle Township Police Department and the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office. This investigation resulted in the execution of a court authorized search warrant at the Enlightened Smoke and Specialty Shop on July 26, 2021, at approximately 3:30pm. As a result of the execution Jamy Lennon (40) and Anthony Albano 3rd (21) both of Cape May Court House were arrested and several pounds of marijuana and over $4000.00 in U.S. currency was seized.
Lennon and Albano were charged with Distribution of Marijuana Over one Ounce, 2C:35-5b(11), Conspiracy to Distribute CDS, 2C:35-2, and Distribution of CDS within 1000 feet of School Property (Middle Township Elementary # 1), 2C:35-7. All three charges are crimes of the third degree.
In accordance with bail reform guidelines both Lennon and Albano were placed on summons and released.
Any charges are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless they are proven guilty.
