WOODBURY — A 33-year-old Paulsboro man pleaded guilty Monday, Oct. 20, to having a .38-caliber handgun in his possession on May 13, 2012, despite being prohibited from having a firearm because of prior conviction.

John C. Johnson had narcotics convictions in 2000 and 2003 and acknowledged in making his plea that he knew those convictions made it illegal for him to have a weapon, said authorities.

Johnson was arrested after an employee of a Paulsboro fuel terminal reported hearing shots fired in a nearby park on the Delaware River.

Just got back from a short walk with my Closest Companion.

As a fat man with a touch of COPD, walking has sometimes been problematic.

Back around 1999, we walked like crazy. I even bought a pair of New
Balance sneakers made especially for walking. I’d walk around the paths at Alcyon Lake Park in Pitman or go traipsing through the woods at Ceres Park in Mantua Township (my Closest Companion actually won a contest when she was a kid to name the park.)

Together we’d walk just about every afternoon. If I got home and my
Closest Companion was still working, I’d change clothes and go walking.

I do not remember when I was diagnosed with the minor emphysema, whether it was before we started walking, or after. I seem to recall trying to walk as fast as I could and still breathe, but I am not sure.

The reckless manslaughter conviction and eight-year prison sentence of a Glassboro man for a fatal stabbing in Williamstown was upheld by an appeals court Monday, Oct. 20.

Carlos Bryant Jr., 28,  was convicted of killing Robert Harrell, 19, on Dec. 18, 2007 at the Williamstown apartment of Bryant’s sister.

The appellate judges rejected defense arguments that instructions by the trial judge to the jury on self defense, and her refusal to question jurors when the foreperson asked to be replaced were trail errors, authorities said.
