Today, the bail was lowered for a Parsippany man charged with marijuana possession. The man, Ben Cohen, age 25, was arrested on Monday, charged with possession of marijuana. He was going to sell about 5 pounds, which was all he had with him, within 1,000 feet of a school! The police took over 5 pounds of the drug from him and $95,000 in cash from his house. Cohen was put in jail with a $100,000 bail. In his bail hearing, authorities said that the bail was above the range for his second-degree crime and that Cohen didn't have a previous record. Cohen, taking advantage, said that he lives with his mother and works as a limosine driver. Judge Thomas Manahan reset his bail to $75,000 witha 10% option. Ben's next hearing was set for March 17th.
