“Eluding arrest is a serious charge in New Jersey, but casting doubt on your “intent” to elude the police is a great way to fight against this type of case.”

Arrested Charged with Eluding Police NJ

Eluding a Police Officer Charges NJ

This is a case in which my client was facing a second degree “eluding charges” case.  When you’re done reading about this success story, please take a look at our video on “How to Beat Eluding Arrest Charges.

I represented a client recently who was charged with 2nd degree eluding arising out of Parsippany, New Jersey. This second degree indictable (felony) level charge and must be handled at the Morris County Superior Court (in Morristown, New Jersey.)  This is a very serious charge and my client was absolutely panicked for good reason; he was facing five (5) to ten (10) years in New Jersey State Prison.

Any time this charge is being faced, it’s presumed that the defendant is going to end up in prison for some length of time. Even with no prior criminal record, you’re probably going away for a while if convicted of this second degree offense. Moreover, he was facing a permanent indictable (felony) charge on his record.

As an additional painful sidenote, he would be deported if he was convicted of any indictable level offense.

My client was a young man and college student with no prior criminal record. He was riding a motorcycle around his neighborhood in Parsippany, New Jersey when he was stopped by police. He had never ridden a motorcycle before and was borrowing his cousin’s bike to cruise around the neighborhood. When I received and reviewed the videotape evidence from the officer’s police vehicle, it was apparent to me that this was not a 2nd degree eluding charge.

Basically, any time an officer signals you to pull over and you don’t immediately comply, you can be charged with eluding.  The punishments for this charge get more serious if anyone get’s hurt, or if other people are put at risk.

The complaint in this case alleged that my client saw the police officer attempt to pull him over and then ran in an attempt to elude the police officer at an extremely high rate of speed. When I reviewed the video evidence, it was clear to me that the officer failed to turn his sirens on until my client had already sped off on the motorcycle.

Moreover, according to my client, he did not see or hear any sirens until he saw lights out of the corner of his eye and then he attempted to pull the motorcycle over and flipped the bike. This version of events was corroborated by the video evidence and clearly showed that my client was a novice with the motorcycle and just didn’t know what he was doing.

I was able to convince the assistant prosecutor in Morris County that the 2nd degree eluding charge could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. As such, the charge was amended to a third degree eluding offense. Then, based on my client’s lack of prior criminal history, his ties to the community, and his status as a green card holder, I was able to convince the State that he should be admitted into the Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) program.

This program is for first time offenders who have no criminal record and their charges are non-violent. My client received two (2) years probationary treatment and two-hundred (200) hours of community service. As long as he completes the two years probation successfully while avoiding any other arrests and completing his community service, the charges will be dismissed at the end of his probation. He will have no record and this will allow him to remain in the country and avoid deportation. This was a tremendous success for the client and my firm.
