COURT HOUSE — A Cape May County grand jury handed up eight indictments July 29.
The abbreviation CDS below stands for controlled dangerous substance.
Tyler J. Wolf and Chris M. Council were jointly indicted on two second-degree counts of attempted residential burglary and conspiracy.
Under previous law, the burglary statute did not differentiate between residential and nonresidential burglaries. All were third-degree crimes with the potential of second-degree if violence and/or a weapon was involved. A new state home invasion and burglary law reclassifies certain residential burglaries as second-degree offenses.
Robert Milano was indicted on a single count of third-degree possession of a CDS, methamphetamine.
Johnathan R. Redden faces a second-degree count for burglary of a residential building, along with two third-degree counts, theft by unlawful taking and possession of a CDS, methoxetamine.
Anthony P. Rivera was named in a three-count indictment, charged with second-degree residential burglary, endangering the welfare of a child in the third degree and fourth-degree lewdness.
Gabriel Ruiz-Perez was indicted for fourth-degree stalking and third-degree possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. The weapon was described as a sharp object.
Steward J. Allay faces a seven-count indictment, with three third-degree counts, two for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and one for possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. The indictment had four fourth-degree counts, for unlawful possession of a weapon, a metal coffee can, along with three counts of throwing bodily fluids.
Jose R. Lopez was indicted on two counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief.
Erica J. Furges faces a six-count indictment, for second-degree burglary of a residence, along with five third-degree counts, for criminal mischief, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault on a health-care provider, in this case an EMT, and two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon, a hammer and a brick.
