Gordon-Pamplin's husband to appear in court tomorrow
The husband of Deputy Opposition Leader Patricia Gordon-Pamplin was released from custody late Friday night but is due to appear in court tomorrow.
Dennis Pamplin, 57, was released on Friday after he posted $75,000 bail.
The charges still stand and he and his co-accused, Ronald Ellis, a 38-year old Bermudian, and Mark Small, 40, of New York, will appear in Morris County Court in New Jersey tomorrow.
According to reports from the Daily Record in Chatham, New Jersey, Pamplin, Ellis and Small were arrested on the suspicion of money laundering and conspiracy on August 28. Police seized more than $98,000 in cash in what they call "a possible drug deal gone wrong".
Two Chevrolet sport vehicles were involved in a high-speed chase heading west along Route 24 and may have been involved in an accident at 12.45 p.m.
When Chatham Police arrived, two men ran from the vehicles into the woods and turned out to be Small and Ellis. The men accused each other of robbery when Officer Larry Dillon approached them.
Small and Ellis both had in their possession white envelopes, one with cash coming out. The envelopes were taken from them as the third man, Pamplin, stayed with the vehicles. Police searched the vehicles and found more white envelopes containing money. They were also confiscated and all three men were taken in for questioning after the money was sniffed by a narcotics dog revealing there was drug residue.
