STATE v. VALENTIN


105 N.J. 14 (1987)

519 A.2d 322

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. DENNY VALENTIN, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided January 13, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeffrey L. Menkin, Deputy Attorney General, argued the cause for appellant (W. Cary Edwards, Attorney General of New Jersey, attorney).

Morton L. Anekstein, Assistant Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for respondent (Alfred A. Slocum, Public Defender, attorney).


The opinion of the Court was delivered by GARIBALDI, Justice.

This appeal concerns the interpretation of the word "volunteers" in N.J.S.A. 2C:29-3b(4). Specifically, we must decide whether a defendant who in response to a law-enforcement officer's inquiry gives a false name thereby violates N.J.S.A. 2C:29-3b(4), which proscribes "volunteer[ing] false information to a law enforcement officer."
