Indictments Filed Feb. 7

COURT HOUSE – A Cape May County grand jury handed up 24 indictments Feb. 7. The abbreviation CDS used below stands for Controlled Dangerous Substance. Individuals convicted of certain crimes forfeit their right to possess a weapon. The charge “certain person” below stands for a “certain person not to have weapons” offense. The term is often applied to individuals who have violated the ban on weapons. 
Matthew Boyes
At 9:30 p.m. Dec. 27, 2016, Lower Township Police stopped a vehicle on Bayshore Road for a traffic violation. A strong odor of marijuana reported by police led to a search of the car and eventual arrest of Matthew Boyes, 19, of Villas.
Boyes was indicted for possession of a CDS, fourth degree, and the more serious count of possession with intent to distribute third degree. The amount of marijuana allegedly found in the car was over 50 grams leading to the third-degree count.
Kelly Bradley
Kelly Bradley, 32, of Mays Landing, was indicted for two counts of third-degree theft. Bradley, according to police reports, allegedly met the victim through an online dating service. The indictment and police reports contend that Kelly took $8,000 in cash and the victim’s 2004 Mazda 3 automobile. 
John Crenshaw, Christopher Funes
In separate, unconnected indictments, two men face charges of third-degree bail jumping.
John Crenshaw failed to appear when required for a hearing on an earlier indictment for fourth-degree operating a motor vehicle during a second license suspension. That action took his initial fourth-degree offense and added to it a third-degree indictment.
Christopher Funes also failed to appear for a hearing on his fourth-degree indictment for sexual contact.
James Cotton
James Cotton, 41, of North Wildwood, was indicted for three third-degree counts of possession of a CDS, heroin, distribution of a CDS, and distribution within 1000 feet of a school.

Joseph Macken
Joseph Macken, 31, of North Wildwood, allegedly broke into a home in Del Haven, held the mother and 3-year-child hostage at gunpoint, and robbed the home of cash, a credit card, and a cell phone. His list of counts in the indictment includes one first-degree offense for armed robbery, three-second degree offenses for burglary, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, and certain person, and three third-degree counts of unlawful possession of a weapon, criminal restraint, and endangering the welfare of a child. The certain person charged stemmed from Macken’s previous conviction in 2006 for distribution of a CDS.
