LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP – A North Brunswick man has been sentenced to seven years in New Jersey State Prison for selling marijuana and other illegal drugs, officials said.
Michael Klimowicz, 32, previously pleaded guilty to Possession of Marijuana in a Quantity Greater than Five Pounds but Less than Twenty-Five Pounds with Intent to Distribute in connection to an arrest that occurred in Long Beach Township on January 27, 2019.
Investigation revealed that Klimowicz’s home in the Holgate section of Long Beach Township was being used to store and distribute narcotics.
Detectives performed a search warrant on the home and seized roughly 11.5 pounds of marijuana, additional quantities of other illegal narcotics and approximately $9,300.
As a result, Klimowicz was arrested and brought to the Ocean County Jail where he was later released as a consequence of New Jersey Bail Reform.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Kristin Pressman who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Long Beach Township Police Department Patrol Division, Long Beach Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Long Beach Township Police Department K-9 Unit, and Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Unit, for their collective assistance in connection with this investigation leading to Klimowicz’s apprehension and now his state prison sentence.
