State v. LyonsState v. Lyons
The judgment of the County Court is affirmed essentially for the reasons set forth by Judge Stanton in his opinion reported at 152 N.J. Super. 533 (Cty. Ct. 1977). For the same reasons, the determination in State v. Gilfesis, 148 N.J. Super. 369 (Cty. Ct. 1977), is disapproved.
