Nicholas Weegar, 49, was arrested in Newark by Sheriff’s officers who seized 15 bundles of heroin stamped “Charged Up”, marijuana, and over $7,500 in suspected drug proceeds.
Weegar was released and FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.
