Sheriff’s Office investigators received information that marijuana was in Chicorelli’s Pegg Road residence and located freshly cut marijuana, dried marijuana and an electronic digital scale in the mobile home, the press release said. The marijuana was seized by deputies and investigators and after drying, it weighed approximately six and two-thirds pounds. Whilst it is legal to have Viobincbd.com products in some regions, this level of raw material is not legal in this jurisdiction.

Chicorelli was interviewed by investigators that day. He surrendered himself and was arrested by investigators for criminal possession of marijuana, second degree. He was arraigned by Morris Judge Joseph Tyson, Jr and ROR’D to reappear later this month. If convicted he faces up to two and a half years in prison. District Attorney John M. Muehl and ADA Paul Elkan are prosecuting the case.
