COURT HOUSE – A Cape May County grand jury handed up 14 indictments March 27.

Terry J. Pierce
Terry Pierce, 27, of Woodbine, was indicted for aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, both counts third degree, along with two fourth-degree counts for unlawful possession of a weapon and certain person.

All three individuals were indicted for first degree attempted murder and first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, along with two second-degree counts of aggravated assault and burglary.
An alleged attempt to destroy or remove clothing that was evidence in the case also led to a count of third-degree hindering apprehension and a fourth-degree charge of tampering with physical evidence.
