Twenty-three days ago, on a Sunday night around 11:30 PM, two men fired seven random bullets in that block.

Posted on - 12/18/2024 TRENTON—An investigation finds that New Jersey State Police troopers routinely gave preferential treatment to certain motorists who presented a courtesy card or asserted a personal connection to law enforcement—even when motorists were suspected of dangerous offenses, like drunk driving, according to a new report by the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller.

CNBNews graphics JEER—CNBNews, I wanted to bring to your attention some concerns about the situation on Thompson Ave. There is a house where the owner is turning the garage into an apartment without obtaining the necessary permits. The person connected electricity to the garage by using an extension cord from the house to the garage and buried the cord in the ground. For water, the man connected a garden hose from the cellar, ran it to the garage, and buried the hose in the ground. Both the electrical and water hookups seem unsafe to me.

With the disbandment of the Woodlynne Police Department on Thursday the responsibility of policing the community now falls on the Camden County Police. This change is not unique, as other communities may soon undergo similar transformations. The rising costs, including excessive salaries and benefits, are becoming too much for taxpayers to sustain. For instance, the Gloucester City Police Department is located in one of the poorest communities in the state of New Jersey. Yet, police officers in that city receive an average salary of $127,000, making it the third highest-paid police department in Camden County. The community of Gloucester City qualifies as an ABBOTT district and a UEZ Zone due to its low-income levels. Residents have recently received their property tax bills, which have increased every year on average by $1000 per household since 2018. This has contributed to the city being one of the top 30 communities in the... Read more →

Law is a very complex field and also involves many different situations. That is why, when you look at lawyers, they all have an area of specialization and they continue to work on this area of specialization. Because the course of each case will be different from each other and the strategy to be followed in each case will be different. However, in cases with similar stories, the lawyers' job will be easier because they will be able to guide their clients more comfortably because they know even a little bit about how it works. In such cases, the most important point for lawyers is that the client leaves the courtroom having won the case. ++++++ Sex Crime Defense Attorneys Sexual offenses are very serious in nature and should never be taken lightly.

We have seen this connection last throughout the duration of a camper’s childhood and into adulthood. The week will be filled with exciting activities including: K-9 Demonstration, SWAT Demonstration, Water Park/Boardwalk day,... Read more →

First seven jurors picked in Trump hush money trail By Brett Rowland | The Center Square Apr 16, 2024 U.S. President Donald J. Trump shakes hands of well-wishers gathered to greet him upon his arrival at the North Dakota Air National Guard Base, Fargo, N.D., Sept. 7, 2018. U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. David H Lipp (The Center Square) – Efforts to pick a jury continued Tuesday, the second day of former President Donald Trump's historic criminal trial. Trump is the first president to face criminal charges, which he described as a politically motivated prosecution designed to keep him from returning to the White House in a re-match with President Joe Biden this November. The process of picking 12 jurors and six alternates could take the rest of the week. Judge Juan Merchan said he expected opening statements to begin Monday, The Hill reported. As of... Read more →

source courtesy of Youtube by Hope Perry, New Jersey Monitor April 8, 2024 For two days, Morgan Neilio, incarcerated at the Camden County Correctional Facility, did not have toilet paper. Neilio said she had to find other items to use in replacement, like pads or ripped-up shirts. Jail policy says officials should have responded to her official complaint about the lack of toilet paper within 10 days — by Feb. 28, 2022. Instead, it took them five months. “It was extremely upsetting and degrading,” she said. As recently as January 2024, White House officials praised the jail and its then-warden, Karen Taylor, for the facility’s medication-assisted treatment program to help incarcerated people conquer opioid addiction. But people imprisoned in Camden’s county lockup say conditions there are downright inhumane. They say there are often no recreational opportunities, they have limited access to social workers, meals are inadequate and unhealthy, and there... Read more →

Recently, William E. Cleary Sr. CNBNews Editor and Publisher, and his son, William E. Cleary Jr., had to endure such a stressful situation due to false charges brought against them by the Gloucester City Police Department. Over several months they were summoned to court six times to answered charges of trespassing and theft that were never proven. Not knowning how many more times they would have to appear in court they pleaded guilty to a plea agreeement and each had to pay a $500 fine. It is even more disheartening to know that some of the people responsible for this are none other than the judge and the prosecutor who were supposed to uphold justice in Gloucester City. Those responsible not only harmed the reputation of the Cleary family but also undermined the integrity of the court system. And their actions reflected poorly on the community of Gloucester City.

JUSTIN HARE Patrolman Justin Hare was shot and killed at about 5:30 am while conducting a welfare check on a disabled vehicle that was stopped near mile marker 320 on I-40, west of Tucumcari. As Patrolman Hare stopped behind the vehicle, the driver exited and walked to the cruiser's passenger window. The two had a short discussion, and as Patrolman Hare offered to drive the man into town, the subject suddenly produced a handgun and shot him. He shot him a second time before pushing him into the passenger seat. He then abducted him and stole the patrol car, abandoning it approximately 16 miles away and fleeing on foot. Patrolman Hare was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds two hours later. Unbeknownst to Patrolman Hare, the man was the suspect in the murder of an off-duty paramedic in South Carolina several days earlier. The car... Read more →

Gangsters, Money and Murder: by Sebastian Rotella and Kirsten Berg, ProPublica, and Garrett Yalch and Clifton Adcock, The Frontier ProPublica is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom. Sign up for The Big Story newsletter to receive stories like this one in your inbox. It seemed an unlikely spot for a showdown between Chinese gangsters: a marijuana farm on the prairie in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma. On a Sunday evening in late November 2022, a blue Toyota Corolla sped down a dirt-and-gravel road in the twilight, passing hay meadows and columns of giant wind turbines spinning on the horizon. The Corolla braked and turned, headlights sweeping across prairie grass, and entered the driveway of a 10-acre compound filled with circular huts and row after row of greenhouses. Past a ranch house, the sedan stopped outside a large detached garage. The driver, Chen Wu, burst out of the car with a 9 mm pistol... Read more →
