Indictments Filed April 11

COURT HOUSE – A Cape May County grand jury handed up 18 indictments April 11. The abbreviation CDS below stands for controlled dangerous substance.
Ryan Broughton
Ryan Broughton, 24, of North Cape May, was listed in the April 4 indictments for “purposely and knowingly” disobeying a restraining order.
One week later, Broughton has been indicted again for violation of that order. He was indicted for fourth-degree criminal contempt.
Kevin Crafton
Another repeat on the indictment list was Kevin Crafton, 29, of Wildwood Crest. In January, Crafton was indicted for second-degree theft by deception and forgery.
Crafton allegedly stole $75,000 from several individuals by falsely claiming he had the legal right to transfer a residential lease for a property in Wildwood Crest.
This week, Crafton was indicted for third-degree bail jumping when he failed to appear for a hearing on the theft by deception charge.
Andrew D’Agostino, Anthony D’Agostino
Brothers Andrew, 35, and Anthony D’Agostino, 32, both of Green Creek, were on this list when they were indicted in March for third-degree theft. This week Andrew faced a new indictment for receiving stolen property, third degree, and obstructing the administration of law, fourth degree.
Andrew allegedly tried to scrap a car at a Dennis Township auto yard, but the car had been stolen. The obstruction charge was for allegedly giving false information to police. Brother Anthony was indicted on one count of fourth-degree hindering apprehension for harboring Andrew to prevent his arrest.
Donald Tozer, Richard Schofield, Carollee Schick
A grand jury indictment alleges that Donald Tozer, 40, and Richard Schofield, 37, both of North Cape May, forced their way into a home on Fire Lane in Lower Township taking property from the home and fleeing in the victim’s 2004 Infinity G35.
The two were indicted for burglary, conspiracy, and theft, in the third degree.
Carollee Schick, who was indicted for counterfeiting one month ago, was associated with Schofield when they were arrested after the alleged break-in. Both Schofield and Schick were allegedly in possession of heroin, and each faces an indictment count for third-degree possession of a CDS.
Josue Capella, Michael Clauso
Josue Capella, 32, of North Cape May, and Michael Clauso, 42, of Rio Grande, were indicted for possession of a CDS, third degree.
Capella, who was indicted April 4 for possession, along with Richard Schofield, listed in the previous indictment, is another recently indicted repeat on the list.
The current indictment goes beyond possession for Capella. He also faces counts of third-degree distribution of a CDS, as well as second-degree distribution within 500 feet of public property, Rio Grande Recreational Park.
James Matthews, Matthew Donnelly
On Sept. 27, 2016, State Police responded to a report of a shooting in Dennisville. Troopers found a 30-year-old victim who had been shot in the abdomen during a robbery. The investigation led to the arrest of James Matthews, 24, of Villas.
Matthews was indicted for first-degree attempted murder and robbery, along with second and third-degree weapons charges. Matthews allegedly used a rifle in the robbery.
Matthew Donnelly was added to the indictment in a conspiracy count, second degree, which he shared with Matthews. The indictment claims that the two aided each other in the planning and commission of the robbery.
