It’s concert season at the PNC Arts Center, located in Holmdel, New Jersey, at the Jersey Shore. Planning to see such acts as Dave Matthews, Weezer, Slipknot, the Vans Warped Tour, Journey, Lynrd Skynrd, Journey, Snoop Dog or Wiz Khalifa? While the PNC Arts Center is a great place to see a concert, it is also the known for the frequent arrests of tailgating partiers.
Many of those arrested are high school and college age students. Most have never been arrested or cited before. The State Police are out in force at these events, and the typical night includes charges filed for underage drinking, public intoxication, driving while intoxicated, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of controlled dangerous substances, possession with intent to distribute and distribution of controlled dangerous substances, possession of drugs in a motor vehicle, disorderly conduct, public urination, resisting arrest, and other Municipal Court and Superior Court offenses. Traffic tickets are frequently issued for those leaving the PNC Bank Arts Center after a show.
Those charged as a result of an arrest at the PNC Bank Art Center face ordinance violations, disorderly persons offenses, juvenile court or criminal charges, resulting in a trip to the Holmdel Municipal Court, or even, at times, the Monmouth County, New Jersey Superior Court.
A criminal conviction can significantly impact you or your child’s college or employment prospects, as well as the ability to drive. If you are a licensed professional, conviction of many of these crimes can affect your livelihood and your license. As a result, it is particularly important that you engage an experienced criminal defense attorney to combat the charges against you or your child.
