The vehicle was later towed by Powdermill Towing.

The vehicle was found resting in the nearby woods. While Parsippany-Troy Hills Patrolman Jeffrey Williams cited improper turning and speeding as causes, no legal summons was issued as of this report. The vehicle was later towed by Powdermill Towing.

Hudson Distribution Services Gains Approval for Cannabis Operation in Parsippany; Awaits State Licensing

PARSIPPANY — Hudson Distribution Services, situated at 701 Jefferson Road, has been granted approval by the Parsippany-Troy Hills Minor Site Plan and Subdivision Committee to operate a Cannabis Warehouse and Distribution Operation.

The company, which takes up the entirety of the 134,700-square-foot building, plans to allocate 25,000 square feet for the distribution of cannabis products alongside general merchandise within the Specialized Economic District (SED-5A) Zoning District.

Pleasantville Realty, based in Teaneck, owns the property.

While they’ve secured Minor Site Plan and Subdivision approval, Hudson Distribution Services must still secure a license from the Township Clerk and meet all state requirements, notably acquiring a Class 4 Distributor License from the State’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission.

On July 20, 2021, the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills enacted an ordinance, amending Chapter 430 of its Code, allowing a select number of Class 3 Cannabis Wholesaler and Class 4 Cannabis Distributor licenses to operate within specific zoning districts in the Township. This ordinance ensures these entities function responsibly, safeguarding the well-being of the Township’s residents, and maintaining alignment with State laws and regulations.

Parsippany Man Faces DUI Charges After Deer Incident

MORRIS COUNTY ~ Paul Mcveigh, 23, of Parsippany was charged with driving under the influence July 30 after a motor vehicle accident involving a deer was reported.

Sparta Patrolman Matthew Pletcher responded to West Mountain Road and talked to the driver, Mcveigh. The officer suspected that he had consumed alcoholic beverages and was showing signs of impairment.

Mcveigh was asked to perform field sobriety tests after he was taken to Sparta Police Headquarters. After the tests, he was arrested.

Further investigation showed that the accident occurred in Franklin and did not involve a deer, police said.

Mcveigh refused to provide breath samples and also was charged with refusal to submit to breath testing, reckless driving, failure to report accident, open container of alcoholic beverage, careless driving and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident.

Editor’s Note: An arrest or the signing of a complaint is merely an accusation.  Despite this accusation, the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until he or she has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
