MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County filed a petition recently asking the U.S. Supreme Court to protect its historic preservation program after the New Jersey Supreme Court ordered a halt to participation by historic houses of worship.
In FFRF v. Morris County Board of Freeholders, the Freedom From Religion Foundation—a Wisconsin-based atheist organization—sued the county for allowing historic houses of worship to apply for preservation funds on equal terms with all other historical sites.
Grants are awarded under neutral criteria, and houses of worship can only use the grants to repair a historic building’s exterior and mechanical systems.
But the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that giving neutral treatment to houses of worship constituted religious activity in violation of the New Jersey Constitution. Yesterday’s filing asks the Supreme Court to let Morris County continue treating all historic sites the same, without having to engage in religious discrimination.
In its 2017 Trinity Lutheran ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court protected a church’s right to participate in a generally available public program, stating that excluding the church because of its religious status would violate the First Amendment. But lower courts have been divided on how far that extends.
Several courts, including the New Jersey Supreme Court, have ruled that historic preservation funding cannot be given to houses of worship, while several other courts have ruled that houses of worship cannot be excluded without violating the Constitution.
“In Morris County, we want to preserve all of our historical sites, including our magnificent houses of worship, some of which date back to the 1700s and were designed by the leading architects of their time,” said Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “Preserving the character and beauty of our county is a critical element of the county’s cultural and economic success.”
“Time does not discriminate,” said Diana Verm, legal counsel at Becket, a non-profit religious liberty law firm representing Morris County in its petition before the Supreme Court. “It takes its toll on all our historic structures, secular and religious alike. The county should not be forced to discriminate by favoring secular sites in its preservation efforts.”
The state of New Jersey has a long history of funding historic preservation for buildings, including churches. One of the state’s earliest grants was to the 1850 Solomon Wesley Church, an active house of worship originally built to serve a community of freed slaves.
Last year, Becket, along with Thomas A. Gentile of Wison Elser in Florham Park filed a friend-of-the-court brief defending Morris County’s grant program and the Catholic, Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches whose buildings have been restored thanks to the program. Becket is now counsel for the county in this case.
MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Law Enforcement Seize 10 Kilograms of Heroin, 10 Kilograms of Cocaine with Street Value of Over $1,000,000 and Over $100,000 in United States Currency:
Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp, Chief of Investigations Stephen F. Wilson, Jr., and Chief James Blesson of the Netcong Borough Police Department announce the arrest of two drug traffickers and the seizure of approximately 10 kilograms of suspected heroin, 10 kilograms of suspected cocaine, and $103,180 in United States currency.
During the evening of Tuesday, September 18, a Netcong Patrol Officer conducted a stop of a tractor-trailer for a motor vehicle violation that occurred on Main Street in Netcong Borough. During this motor vehicle stop, after the officer was presented with multiple false names by the truck driver, law enforcement developed probable cause that the occupants of the vehicle were transporting illegal narcotics. A search of the trailer revealed a bulk quantity of heroin (approximately 10 kilograms) and a bulk quantity of cocaine (approximately 10 kilograms) hidden among a cargo shipment of onions in the trailer. Police also located $103,180 in cash believed to be proceeds of drug trafficking in the tractor.
The total street value of the seized narcotics is in excess of one million dollars.
Vantwuan D. Williams, age 44 of Victorville, California, the driver of the tractor trailer was charged with the following:
• 1 count of first-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (heroin) with the intent to distribute;
• 1 count of first-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (cocaine) with the intent to distribute;
• 1 count of second-degree financial facilitation of criminal activity, by transporting over $75,000 of United State currency believed to be derived from criminal activity;
• 1 count of third-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (heroin);
• 1 count of third-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (cocaine); and
• 1 count of Disorderly Persons Hindering Apprehension by giving a false name to law enforcement
Williams was lodged in the Morris County Correctional Facility on the arrest warrant pending his first appearance.
Earl Haggens, 57, Los Angeles, California, the passenger in the truck was charged with the following:
• 1 count of first-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (heroin) with the intent to distribute;
• 1 count of first-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (cocaine) with the intent to distribute;
• 1 count of second-degree financial facilitation of criminal activity by transporting over $75,000 of United State currency believed to be derived from criminal activity;
• 1 count of third-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (heroin); and
• 1 count of third-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (cocaine).
Haggens was lodged in the Morris County Correctional Facility on the arrest warrant pending his first appearance.
Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp stated: “Police successfully interdicted a significant quantity of drugs with this investigation. This seizure literally amounts to removing thousands of potential lethal doses of poison from our community.”
Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp wishes to thank the efforts of the Netcong Police officer that commenced the investigation and the entire Netcong Borough Police Department, Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Special Enforcement Unit (Narcotics Task Force), and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office Canine Unit, which assisted at the scene.
Editors Note: A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
KINNELON — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp announces the sentencing of Richard J. Spielman 46, Kinnelon.
On July 9, 2018, Spielman entered guilty pleas before the Honorable Catherine I. Enright, J.S.C., to first degree Maintenance of a Controlled Dangerous Substance Production Facility and Second Degree Unlawful Possession of a Machine Gun.
As part of the plea agreement, Mr. Spielman forfeited nearly $6800 in United States currency.
On Wednesday, September 19, the Honorable Stephen J. Taylor, P.J.Cr., sentenced Spielman, on the drug charges to six years in New Jersey State Prison. Spielman is required to serve thirty-six months before becoming eligible for parole.
Judge Taylor also imposed a concurrent three year state prison term with twelve months of parole ineligibility on the weapons count.
The investigation, led by detectives from the Butler Police Department and Kinnelon Police Department, culminated on March 11, 2018 with the seizure of one fully automatic machine gun, one assault rifle, 79 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, approximately ten pounds of marijuana, mushrooms, two shotguns, four rifles, one loaded handgun, high capacity magazines, silencers, throwing stars, metal knuckles, drug distribution related paraphernalia, nearly $6,800 United States currency, and a 2006 Jeep.
Prosecutor Knapp stated “The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office will continue to seek incarceration of convicted for-profit drug dealers and those who possess weapons in contravention of state and federal law. We hope that the sentences the Court imposed today serve to deter not just this defendant but others who engage in similar criminal activity.”
PARSIPPANY — Three Parsippany academically talented high school seniors will compete from for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring.
The three named Semifinalists for the National Merit Scholarship program for 2019 are one student from Parsippany Hills High school, Tyler Lee, and two students from Parsippany High School, Andrew Hsieh and Kevin Weiss.

According to a news release, scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 410 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.

The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
