Venable faces a possible five-year prison term and a fine of up to $10,000 if convicted.
In a separate incident, Donald A. Stewart, 51, and Shawn R. Coar, 45, were spotted loading demolition debris into a U-Haul truck that did not have Department of Environmental Protection registration decals, a spokesman for the state attorney general tells the Jersey Journal.
