Sea & Leaf Opens as Cape May County’s Second Cannabis Retail Outlet

Sea & Leaf, the second state-licensed cannabis facility in Cape May County, opened on July 10 at the North Cape Shopping Center. Owner Dilpreet “Jimmy” Singh spent nearly two years obtaining state approval. The store offers edibles, vape pens, and flowers, and sold many pre-rolls and edibles in its first two days. Following a soft opening on June 24, the store adheres to state regulations by displaying empty containers and using multiple security measures. Anyone over 21 can purchase cannabis products without a medical card.

Morey's Piers Employee Critically Injured in Wildwood Shooting, Suspect in Custody

William C. Hoyle was arrested for a shooting in Wildwood, NJ, that left an innocent bystander, Vilte Gruzdyte, in critical condition. The incident occurred on Pacific Avenue, with Hoyle seen on video firing a handgun. Gruzdyte, an international student working at Morey's Piers, was not the intended target. Hoyle turned himself in and faces multiple charges. The community, including local residents and businesses, is seeking answers and expressing concerns about safety.

Cape May County Father Charged with Aggravated Assault, Child Endangerment

David Fletcher III, a North Wildwood resident, was arrested for child endangerment and aggravated assault after admitting to smoking PCP while walking with his infant son. Surveillance footage showed him dropping and swinging the child, leading to multiple injuries. The police, alerted by bystanders, found Fletcher under the influence and initiated a joint investigation with the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office. Fletcher is now in custody at the Cape May County Correctional Facility.
