Jay T. Calcott, 51, of Cape May was indicted by the Cape May County grand jury July 28 thirdfor possession of a weapon by a “certain person,” a third degree offense.  Calcott was arrested May 13 at 2 p.m. Calcott was in a vehicle on Broadway in West Cape May when pulled over by police because the vehicle’s registration revealed that the owner had an outstanding warrant. 
When the vehicle was stopped police noticed activity in the car that was consistent with someone trying to hide something. When police were able to confirm the warrant, Calcott, who was the driver, was arrested. A search of the vehicle revealed a black .40 Smith and Wesson pellet gun hidden under the driver’s seat. 
The grand jury indictment stems from the fact that Calcott was convicted of aggravated assault in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. and was therefore not allowed to possess the weapon. 
May 25 was a busy day for North Wildwood Police. The police blotter for that Monday showed 18 arrests. Seven of those arrests involved individuals from out of state. One Philadelphian in North Wildwood that day was Anthony Adames, 18. Adames was indicted for possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) over one ounce. The substance in question was marijuana.
Angela M. Wasyluk, 27, and John C. Palko, 22, both of Villas were indicted for theft, third degree, receiving stolen property, third degree, and hindering apprehension, fourth degree.
According to the indictment, Palko committed theft of property valued in excess of $500. Wasyluk is charged with receiving the stolen property and then giving false information to police.
The grand jury alleges that Jack R. Nixon, 28, and Wayne A. Severs, both of Ocean City, conspired to commit theft and “sell the property for profit.” The two allegedly planned to burglarize a landscaping business. After entering the premises Jan. 13, the indictment says they took movable property valued in excess of $500.
Robert L. Scott, 40, of Wildwood, allegedly conspired with Julian M. Holbert and Lisa M. Frazier, 33, to possess with intent to sell both heroin and cocaine.  According to the indictment, on Feb. 26 the three individuals were in possession of both drugs, less than half an ounce each, with intent to distribute within 500 feet of public property, in this case, the George Boyer Museum on Pacific Avenue.
The indictment reads possession of CDS, two counts, third degree, conspiracy, third degree, possession with intent to distribute a CDS, two counts, third degree, and possession with intent within 500 feet of public property, second degree.
In Ocean City, April 25, Craig Wendt allegedly resisted arrest by threatening to use physical force and did actually assault two police officers acting in the performance of their duties. The indictment does not mention why Wendt was being arrested when he allegedly resisted. He was indicted for resisting arrests, third degree and aggravated assault, third degree.
Shannon O’Conner was indicted for burglary, third degree, theft, third degree and possession of a CDS, third degree. The incident occurred in West Wildwood May 25. O’Connor allegedly entered a 2009 Subaru Forrester and took property valued in excess of $500. O’Connor was subsequently found to be in possession of cocaine, a Schedule II drug.
According to the grand jury, on June 14, three men drove together to Ocean City where they conspired to break into a series of automobiles in search of things of value.
Keith A. Greisemer, 26, Terrell A. Smith, and Stephan R. Lee, 20, allegedly entered eight separate vehicles on that mid-June day taking property that exceeded the $500 threshold for a third degree crime.
The men were indicted for two different counts of conspiracy, third degree, burglary, third degree, and theft, third degree.
Greisemer added to his problems by threatening to use force to resist arrest.  He subsequently allegedly assaulted one of the officers attempting to arrest him. The indictment added to Greisemer’s charges resisting arrest, third degree, aggravated assault, third degree, unlawful possession of a weapon, a knife, fourth degree, and obstructing the administration of law, fourth degree.
The charges and allegations contained in the indictments are accusations and the defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty.
