Most times, the female is released and the Male sits in jail until he sees a judge who then releases him or keeps him held in Countu until the court date & sentencing.

Liza Vazquez
So how much cash are you legally allowed to carry?
Brittani Cubbedge when caught dealing… They can confiscate a dollar… You have to fight to prove its not drug money to get it back..
Tricia Januska does that money go anywhere or it just sits in evidence forever?
Brittani Cubbedge I’m not sure about where it goes but it doesn’t sit in evidence forever.. I believe it goes into some type of fund..
Tricia Januska yeah it should be recycled into something productive
^ After court proceedings, the cash (& vehicles) taken go into a fund.
Likely used towards fighting the drug epidemic.
Brittani Cubbedge
Drug confiscation money goes to buy Narcan often.
Ocean County Scanner News interesting.
Ocean County Scanner News you don’t actually believe that do you?
Brittani Cubbedge that’s the money that pays for narcan among other drug programs
