WHARTON BOROUGH, NJ (Morris County) – A Camden County man has been sentenced to state prison for unlawful sale of firearms in Wharton Borough in 2020, according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert Carroll.
Antony S. Rodriguez-Santana, 30, of Camden was sentenced on Oct. 13 before the Honorable Judge Ralph E. Amirata, J.S.C. sentenced Gonzalez to ten years New Jersey State Prison subject to five years of parole ineligibility, Carroll said.
Rodriguez-Santana entered a guilty plea on Sept. 12 to second-degree certain persons not to have firearms, Carroll said.
