MORRIS COUNTY, NJ – On Thursday, Kenneth Calvey Jr., a 21-year-old resident of Victory Gardens, was sentenced for gun and drug offenses. Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll and Chief of Detectives Robert McNally declared that Calvey had pleaded guilty on April 18, 2023, to one count of Possession of a Firearm While Committing a Controlled Dangerous Substance Offense, a second-degree crime.

The sentencing followed an investigation by the Morris County Narcotics Task Force, leading to a search warrant for Calvey’s home. The search yielded $6,908 in cash, close to one pound of raw marijuana, multiple THC vapes, drug distribution paraphernalia, a double-barrel long gun, a handgun with a loaded magazine, and additional ammunition.

Judge Stephen J. Taylor sentenced Calvey to a 5-year term in New Jersey State Prison, with a 42-month period of parole ineligibility. The state was represented by Assistant Prosecutor Noelle Fiorentino.
