WASHINGTON TWP. — A 57-year-old Salina Road man was arrested March 10 in connection with the theft of a cash register from a pizza shop four days earlier.

WOODBURY — Bail remained at $100,000 Friday for James Cole, 61, of Camden, on charges of sexually assaulting a child in Glassboro in January 2012.

Cole’s lawyer asked for a reduction to $50,000, saying there was “limited information” on the allegations, which the attorney said had been made by an ex-girlfriend and were three years old. “I’m not sure how strong the proofs are,”  Cole’s lawyer said.

Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Dana Anton said her office “absolutely objects” to lower bail, stressing the complainant in the case was the State of New Jersey, not the former girlfriend. The case involves improper touching of an 8-year-old child and a sister of the victim was a witness, Anton said. Cole made a “full admission” of the offense, she said.

The charge preceded Cole’s current probation on a plea to theft by deception for failing to disclose he was receiving benefits form the Gloucester County Board of Social Services and the U.S. Veteran’s Administration simultaneously.

In denying the bail request, Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson said the likelihood of conviction on aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and child endangerment charges was “very high” as was the probability of a lengthy sentence.

WOODBURY — After Hearing Sean P. Allen, 41, of Woodbury, had made a full confession,  a judge Friday  denied him any reduction on three separate bails of $100,000 each on charges he used a sawed-off shotgun to rob three Heritage’s stores in the Woodbury area in February 2015.

“Apparently, the state’s proofs are quite substantial,”  said Superior Court Judge Kevin P. Smith, noting that Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Alec Gutierrez had also pointed out that Woodbury police recovered the shotgun and “a significant” amount of ammunition when arresting Allen at his residence on March 4.

Gutierrez opposed any bail reduction, saying Allen faced up to 30 years in prison on the Woodbury, Woodbury Heights and West Deptford robbery charges alone, making him a “significant flight risk.” Allen is also charged with weapons offenses and conspiracy to commit robbery with a  codefendant.

“In many respects, the defendant is lucky he’s not here on homicide charges,” said Smith. Using a firearm during a robbery “presents an incredible danger to the victim and bystanders,”  the judge said. “Any false step or misstep could have caused the gun to discharge.”

Even though Allen has a “minimal” criminal history, the total of $300,000 bail “is appropriate in my mind,” Smith said.
