COURT HOUSE — According to county Sheriff Gary Schaffer, four of the top 10 individuals appearing on the Sheriff’s “Most Wanted” list have been captured with the latest being captured in Pennsylvania on May 1.
Most Wanted No. 2 Lynell Jones, No. 3 Quinton Hatcher, No. 8 Victor Oyola, and No. 10 Stephanie Suttera are presently in county or Philadelphia jail pending hearings, sentencing and transferring to New Jersey State Prison.
“I would like to commend our Sheriff’s Office for the enhanced efforts in bringing these wanted persons to justice. I also need to thank the public for their increased tips that have lead to the capture of these persons. Through programs like Cape May County’s Anonymous Tip Line and Web Tip Page, along with cooperation from various groups including the media’s assistance with getting information out on wanted persons, have enhanced our efforts in bringing wanted person to justice,” said Sheriff Schaffer.
Just hours after the April 15 edition of the Herald hit the street, Hatcher surrendered himself to county jail.
It was the first such incident since this newspaper initiated publication of photos and offenses of persons wanted by county law enforcement agencies on April 1.
The public is asked to report any tips of crimes or suspected criminal activity the Sheriff’s Office using the anonymous texting of tips or visiting the Sheriff’s anonymous Web page.
The Text Tip line is Tip411 (847411). Tipsters should begin their messages with the letters cmcso. The anonymous Web Tip page can be found at cmcsheriff.net. Once you submit your tip remember your assigned anonymous number given so we can contact you if you want.
“I truly believe our citizens want to help law enforcement and we are just supplying the means to give them better access to us,” Schaffer added.

"Just hours after the April 15 edition of the Herald hit the street, Hatcher surrendered himself to county jail." The reason Hatcher turned himself into the jail ws because I called all his family members (4 households) and had a talk with them and told them to tell Hatcher that if he turned himself in to the jail, he would avoid the aggressive embarrassing scene of the police. He was brought in due to a technique known as community policing.

I like when officers display the face of "wanted" people in the public, so that people know there are dangerous people in the crowds. I also like when officers announce what they have got. thank you.

Finally our Sheriffs office is being proactive. I attribute this to our current sheriff-Gary Schaffer. I just wonder how the police academy is doing-and if it's still being run as Gary did.
They need to start doing normal law enforcement duties, such as stopping speeders, doing randomized patrols etc.
In places such as Florida, I've noticed when on vacation, the Sheriff's supplement the local law enforcement, and I've seen them regularly making motor vehicle stops etc.
Local law enforcement agencies like Middle, Lower, Upper(well, state police, but...) and some of the island towns during the summer would greatly benefit from the added number of law enforcement officers in the area.
Lets hire more sheriffs officers and get them out there.
