Alleged Marijuana Farmer Indicted Following Danella Way Arrest

Union resident Guillermo D. Fabian was a long way from home when he was renting a home on Danella Way in Howell but according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office the 34-year-old was up to no good during his time in the township.

Fabian was arrested back in May after police discovered what was described as marijuana farm in a house he rented on Danella Way. As a result of the arrest he was charged with one count of first degree maintaining or operating a controlled dangerous substance production facility.

The indictment said the facility was first discovered on or about March 29. It is a first degree charge because it was used to manufacture more than five pounds of marijuana with more than 10 plants.

The third count of the indictment is for first degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute for having more than 25 pounds of marijuana in his possession with the intent to distribute.

He was also charged with one count of fourth degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance for having more than 50 grams of marijuana including adulterants or dilutants. Fabian also faces one count of third degree criminal mischief for tampering with the residence “as to endanger person or property,” in excess of $2,000.
