TRENTON
– Attorney General Anne Milgram and
Criminal Justice Director Gregory A. Paw
announced today that two Morris County men
have been sentenced to 10 years in state
prison after pleading guilty to first-degree
possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
According
to Director Paw, Raymond Labarck, 67, of
Parsippany, was ordered by Superior Court
Judge Salem Ahto in Morris County to serve
ten years in state prison with three and
one-half years parole ineligibility. The
sentence was pursuant to Labark’s
May 9 guilty plea to first-degree possession
of cocaine with intent to distribute. Labarck’s
son, Anthony Labarck, 40, who lives with
his father, was sentenced by Judge Ahto
to ten years in state prison with four and
one-half years parole ineligibility. Anthony
Labark pleaded guilty on May 7 to the same
charge.
“This
office will continue to aggressively investigate
and prosecute drug dealers,” Attorney
General Milgram said. “Today’s
sentence is a good example of our joint
efforts with local law enforcement to take
drug dealers off the streets of our communities.”
In
pleading guilty, the defendants admitted
that on March 17, 2006, they possessed at
least five ounces of cocaine. A search warrant
executed by the Division of Criminal Justice
and the Parsippany Police Department revealed
that the Labarcks possessed 690 bags of
cocaine, totaling 18.45 ounces, in a trailer
on their property. The search also uncovered
a handgun and an additional 87 individual
bags of cocaine in a tin in their home.
As part of the sentence, the Labarcks were
also ordered to forfeit $26,468 that was
seized during the execution of the search
warrant.
The
investigation was coordinated by state investigators
from the Division of Criminal Justice -
Major Crimes Bureau and Det. Sgt. Andy Miller
and Det. Michael Lasalandra from the Parsippany
Police Department. Supervising Deputy Attorney
General Debra Conrad represented the Division
of Criminal Justice at the sentencing.
