ERMA — The Lower Township Police Department received a call regarding shots fired at approximately 3:50 a.m. on Sept. 11, and upon police response they located a Ryan Toler, 21, at his residence in the 600 block of Railroad Avenue in the Erma section of Lower Township.
Upon further investigation police located five spent shotgun shells outside the home in the driveway area.
Investigation on scene determined that Toler earlier had been involved in an altercation at the Bolero Bar in the City Of Wildwood during the Roar to the Shore Weekend in which he entered into a physical altercation with Randy Coco, 20, of the 400 block of Route 47 in the Green Creek section of Middle Township.
Toler advised police that Coco had called him numerous times after the altercation threatening to do harm to him and burn down his house. A short time later Coco arrived at Toler’s residence with other unknown subjects and after exiting the vehicle, Toler advised police that he then fired the shotgun into the air in an attempt to scare him away.
The investigation led to police officers interviewing Coco after the incident and he informed them that Toler had fired the shotgun in his direction and not into the air as Toler had stated. Toler was then arrested at the scene and taken to the Lower Township Police Department for processing.
Toler was charged with the following offense:
• Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
• Unlawful possession of a weapon
• Possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose
• Possession of a loaded shotgun
Bail was set at $50,000 cash by Judge David DeWeese and Toler was transferred to the Cape May County Correctional center in lieu of bail.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
