South Dakota man cruises out of New Jersey on handgun and laundering charges thanks to NJ Bail Reform.
Paul Myers, 49, of Box Elder, was arrested during a traffic stop when officers found he was carrying a handgun and $21,614 – which later led to charges of possession of a handgun and money laundering.
Myers was released and FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined 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.
