Attorney John Koufos Charged with Hit and Run After First Getting Employee to Try to Take the Fall

Posted by jefhenninger on June 24, 2011

After a 2011 Lexus belonging to Ocean County attorney John Koufos of the firm Koufos and Norgaard, was found to be involved in a hit and run, many in the Ocean County legal community were wondering how John fit in to all of this. However, it was soon learned that an employee of his, Craig Terlizzi was the one that was driving the car. As a result, Terlizzi was charged. After the story broke, rumors swirled that Terlizzi was a “fall guy” both in the courthouse and on the app.com message boards. The fact that Koufos drove his Lexus to an Ocean County Bar Association function that night probably helped investigators unravel the lie as Koufos turned himself in to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office today to face a number of charges including the hit and run charge.

The above was taken from here and other news articles.

Clearly, Koufos’ license to practice law is in serious jeopardy. He is (was) a very talented attorney and it is tough for many in the legal community to see one of their own involved in something like this. The only good news is that no one was killed.

Holmdel CDS Defense Lawyers

New Jersey State Police arrested 20 Phish fans nabbed with various hallucinogenic and illegal recreational drugs at the band’s concert Tuesday night at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. The 20 people were found in possession of or distributing hallucinogenic drugs including ketamine, LSD, Ecstasy and psilocybin — more commonly known as mushrooms, along with marijuana, cocaine and nitrous oxide gas, according to court documents. The busts came as part of a detail of State Police officers specifically assigned to the Phish concert. According to law enforcement, Phish fans are notorious for their use of mind-altering drugs, especially hallucinogenic substances.

Some of those arrested Tuesday night are:

– Patrick R. Blanke, 25, of Pelham, Mass., who is charged with possession of Ecstasy and possession and distribution of ketamine in the north overflow parking lot of the venue. He is being held in the Monmouth County Jail in Freehold Township on $15,000 full cash bail.

– John F. Cassidy, 19, of Ambler, Pa., who is charged with selling nitrous oxide contained in yellow balloons. He is being held in the county jail on $2,500 full cash bail.

– Casey R. Decker, 29, of Norwich, N.Y., who is charged with possession of psilocybin, a drug most commonly used in the form of “magic mushrooms.” He is being held in the county jail on $10,000 full cash bail.

– James J. Philbin, 33, of Dorchester, Mass., who is charged with various possession and distribution offenses related to marijuana, LSD, and Ecstasy. He remains held in the county jail on $40,000 full cash bail.

– Evan B. Seplow, 31, of Cedarhurst, N.Y., who is charged with possessing seven hits of LSD. He is being held in the county jail on $5,000 full cash bail.

– Joseph J. Washburn, 32, of Lahabra, Calif., who is charged with possession of about one gram of cocaine and the possession and distribution of 22 Ziploc bags containing marijuana. He is being held at the county jail on $10,000 full cash bail.
