Common Charges at the Tuckerton Municipal Court

From July 2012 through June 2013, the Borough of Tuckerton charged an average of 20 criminal offenses and 85 to 90 moving traffic violations per month. These figures are a 30% decline in the numbers charged in all categories in the previous year.

Appearing at the Tuckerton Municipal Court

If you miss your first court session, immediately call the court administrator to reschedule or a Failure to Appear notice may be issued, and an arrest warrant could be generated in your name at the judge's discretion.
If you have been charged in a criminal matter, DWI, or if “court appearance required” is checked on your summons, you must appear in court. However, if you wish to plead not guilty, even if you're not required to appear, the court directs that you must call the court office prior to the date listed on your summons or subpoena to advise them of your not guilty plea.
It is always to your benefit to plead not guilty, because you will gain an opportunity to negotiate with the municipal prosecutor to plead guilty to a lesser charge. The court administrator will take you off the calendar for that date, then advise you of your new date by mail. You must make certain that the court has your correct address so you don't miss this very important date.
