I'm curious to know how this even became public. If I worked for NJSP and somebody escaped from me I wouldn't tell anybody that wasn't absolutely necessary to tell. Me and my partner would start our own mini-manhunt untill we found the guy ourselves. How embarrasing. Now this kid has a pretty cool story to tell his kids...I'm sure we'll all be paying for them someday.

I love how its always the cops fault someone committed a crime. The kid was given another chance and help in drug court and he decided to exploit the courts willingness to consider this young man a victim of crime himself. When he got arrested again and then ran from the state police he went from the victim of drugs to criminal. He will most likely be kicked out of drug court now and sent to jail where he belongs.

every week our newspaper has recently posted cape may county' s most wanted, i expected to see dangerous murderers, rapists, serial killers, child molesters, etc. to warn our public of the dangers of these kind of people. what i got was children on drugs who misssed a court date and now they are our most wanted. what a joke. are our newpaper people and police so desparate to think they live in a major crime city like ny or philly or la that they decided to poat this in a local newspaper. how sad, maybe they should move to a city where serious crime really exists so they can get their kicks for real, but no they couldn't, they'd run home to little cape may county and pretend to be tough.they all are oviously like romeo who like to manhandle young girls and kick men when they are down and handcuffed, and lets not forget the fat cop who gets young kid s to sell drugs for him or the cop who breaks into womens apts because he has unusual ways of dating and gets away with it, what a f up county we live in, we should all move or revolt against this bs..did anyone look at this scared child who is now our county's most wanted, get a grip!
