COURT HOUSE – A Cape May County grand jury handed up 14 indictments May 9. The abbreviation CDS below stands for controlled dangerous substance. The crime of “certain person” below stands for “certain person” not to have a weapon. 
Individuals convicted of a felony are not allowed to carry a weapon at any time. “Certain person” charges are either in the second or fourth degree depending on the weapon. If the weapon is a gun, the charge will be second degree.
Brian Donnelly
On April 6 a car driven by Brian Donnelly, 19, of North Wildwood, veered off the road at high speed and struck a utility pole and eventually a house on Route 47 in Green Creek. When police responded they found a large amount of marijuana in the vehicle. Donnelly was indicted for possession of a CDS, fourth degree, and possession of a CDS with intent to distribute, third degree.
Ronray Harris
At 3:40 a.m. Feb. 23, police responded to a report of a stabbing at the New Jersey Transit Bus Station in Wildwood. The investigation led to the subsequent arrest of Ronray Harris, 39, of Bridgeton.
Harris was indicted for armed robbery, first degree, and aggravated assault, second degree. Harris also faces weapons counts for possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, third degree, and unlawful possession of a weapon, fourth degree.
Since Harris was convicted of possession of a CDS in 2012, a count was added to the indictment for certain person, fourth degree.

On May 2, Matthews failed to appear for the hearing leading to the new indictment.
