Red Bank Man Indicted on Cocaine Possession Charge
A Red Bank man has been indicted on a drug possession charge stemming from a July incident in the borough.
Mark A. Douglas, 36, of 16 East Westside Ave., was arrested on July 10 and charged with one count of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, cocaine, according to the indictment.
He was found by a county grand jury to have committed the third-degree crime "by knowingly obtaining or possessing, either actually or constructively …" the cocaine, the indictment said.
* An indictment does not constitute a conviction. It is a decision made by a grand jury that there is enough evidence to proceed with prosecution. The charge will be heard in Monmouth County court.
