BRICK – A Lakewood man has been sentenced to state prison after authorities seized several drugs and a handgun from his possession, officials said.
Racole Muldrow, 38, has been sentenced to six years in New Jersey State Prison (NJSP) for previously pleading guilty to the charge of Possession of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute. He was also sentenced five years in NJSP with a five-year period of parole ineligibility for his guilty plea to being a Certain Person not to Possess a Firearm. The sentences will run concurrently.
On September 22, 2021, officers from the Brick Township Police Department responded to a home on Hooper Avenue after receiving a report of a possible domestic violence incident. Officers were advised that the suspect had left the area in a white Chrysler Town & Country and possibly had a firearm.
Officers later pulled over a car matching the description on Chambers Bridge Road. Muldrow, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was placed under arrest at the scene.
The driver who was the registered owner of the car, consented to a search where officers seized about 65 grams of cocaine, a quantity of marijuana, drug paraphernalia indicative of narcotics distribution and a loaded Smith and Wesson M&P .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun.
Muldrow was brought to the Ocean County Jail, where he has been lodged since the date of his arrest.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledges the diligent efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Robert Cassidy who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Brick Township Police Department for their efforts in connection with Muldrow’s apprehension, guilty pleas, and now his state prison sentence.
