Cape May County Authorities Take
Stand Against Child Pornography

In a significant crackdown on the distribution of illicit material, a 21-year-old man from Rio Grande, Middle Township, has been apprehended following allegations of engaging in the distribution and possession of child pornography.

Javish Roman was taken into custody on March 14, according to an announcement by Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland, with the arrest being the result of an investigation that commenced after a tip-off to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Roman is accused of utilizing a third-party application to share images and videos depicting child sexual abuse. Law enforcement officers, upon executing a search warrant at his residence on South Second Avenue, seized evidence pertinent to the case, which is currently under examination.

Facing serious charges, Roman has been accused of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child for distributing child sexual abuse material and third-degree for possessing such material. He is currently detained at the Cape May County Correctional Center. The charges against Roman carry substantial penalties, with the possibility of five to ten years of incarceration for the second-degree charge and three to five years for the third-degree charge.

This case is part of a broader initiative by the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office to combat the exploitation of children and the possession of child pornography. The office has urged anyone with information related to child exploitation to come forward and report by contacting their hotline or submitting anonymous tips online.

Wildwood Man Caught in Major
Heroin and Fentanyl Bust

In a significant operation aimed at curbing the spread of dangerous drugs, authorities in Cape May County have arrested 29-year-old Christian Ramos of Wildwood for his alleged involvement in distributing heroin laced with fentanyl. The arrest, which took place on March 15, was the culmination of a joint effort by local police, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and Homeland Security Investigations.

The operation led to the search of Ramos, his vehicle, and several premises across Wildwood and Middle Township, resulting in the seizure of approximately 1,000 bags of heroin and $5,450 in cash. Further analysis of previously seized substances confirmed the presence of fentanyl and xylazine in the heroin, compounding the risk posed by these drugs.

Ramos now faces serious charges, including second-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance, third-degree money laundering, and fourth-degree distribution of drug paraphernalia. He is currently being held in the Cape May County Correctional Facility, with potential penalties ranging from five to ten years in state prison if convicted.

This arrest underscores the ongoing battle against drug trafficking and the importance of community vigilance. The Cape May County Prosecutor's Office encourages anyone with information about drug activity to come forward and assist by contacting their office or submitting anonymous tips online.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the Quinn Brothers at Mud Hen Brewing

The celebrated Quinn Brothers, a quintet of siblings hailing from New York City, are set to bring their unique blend of music to the Mud Hen Brewing Company.

For over a quarter of a century, these brothers have harmonized both on and off stage, remarkably maintaining a bicker-free relationship throughout their musical journey. Specializing in traditional Irish instruments, their repertoire spans beloved Irish songs with the occasional twist on classic rock tunes, promising a performance that encourages both singing and dancing.

Scheduled for March 17, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, this event invites attendees to not only enjoy the vibrant music but also to indulge in a beer and embrace the joy of the moment.

🏈 Josh Sweat Secures Future with Eagles Through Restructured Deal

Josh Sweat, the talented defensive end, has solidified his future with the Philadelphia Eagles through a newly restructured contract, as reported by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The revised agreement guarantees Sweat $10 million, with the potential to earn up to $13 million through various incentives.

This negotiation follows a period of uncertainty for Sweat, mirroring the situation of teammate Haason Reddick, who was also informed that he could explore trade opportunities and test the market. The Eagles have been active in the offseason, securing the services of Bryce Huff via free agency and re-signing veteran Brandon Graham on a one-year contract. With Nolan Smith heading into his second year, the Eagles' defensive edge lineup looks formidable.

The retention of Sweat suggests a strategic decision by the Eagles to bolster their defense, especially considering the premium placed on the EDGE position in today's NFL. The team appears keen on maintaining its depth in this area, potentially leveraging the versatility of players like Graham to enhance their defensive schemes on passing downs.
