Riding on lands; damaging property on lands
Third or fourth degree, or disorderly persons offense (depending on amount of loss). 2C:18-5

If term of imprisonment of at least
one year is imposed and if record of
conviction shows loss to the victim
exceeds $10,000, would probably be
deemed an AF. See Nugent v.
Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 162 (3d Cir.
2004). However, if later removal
proceedings are held outside the
Third Circuit, then conviction might
be deemed an AF if either of the
above conditions is met. See note on
New Jersey 4th degree offenses and
“crimes of violence” at end of chart.
If record of conviction
reflects K, conviction
under subsection (b)
might be considered a
CIMT.
