COURT HOUSE – Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland and Wildwood Police Chief Robert Regalbuto announced the grand jury indictment of Sean W. Tatem Oct. 16 for a first-degree drug-induced-death charge, according to a release.
On May 31, Tatem, 29, of Bridgeton, was charged with drug-induced death by detectives from Wildwood Police Department. The charge was based on an investigation into the death of David King, 31, who was found unresponsive in his residence in Wildwood Aug. 25, 2017, and later died in Cooper Medical Center Aug. 31, 2017.
After being charged, Tatem was arrested in Darlington County, S.C. where he waived extradition July 26. Tatem was then extradited and lodged in the Cape May County Correctional Center pending court proceedings.
Prosecutor Sutherland stated an individual charged with a first-degree crime can be sentenced to a term of 10 to 20 years in New Jersey State Prison. Sutherland also commended all the efforts of the Wildwood Police Department Detective Bureau and all of the law enforcement officers involved in the investigation.
