When this officer was hurt the PD was handling a call that two black males with guns took the residents who came home inside at gun point and robbed them, I think we can all clearly see things are getting worse. More of the scum bags are moving in to our town, I know the Police are doing a great job, we all need to realize they also handle so many of the non emergency calls. There is no way anyone would even consider downsizing the Police, I have lived here for many years and want to see more officers hit the streets. We need to keep our town safe, realizing every town, every county has problems they all have drugs, theft etc. The point is we need to hit it head on, we need to put these scum bags in jail.

Wed, 11/12/2008 - 11:40am

Corporal Macomber I am glad that you are okay. Thak you & the rest of the dept. for all of your efforts in keeping us safe!

Tue, 11/11/2008 - 3:46pm

I cant believe it, a disorderly person from the Villas has outstanding warrants and is head-butting cops!!!! Throw the River Rat in jail with the rest of his neighbors

Sun, 11/09/2008 - 4:30pm

I think they are appreciated.Thats a part of the salary,the benefits and retirement they are given.Check it out its not a bad deal.I am not for downsizing or not hiring new cops.I hope whats best for this township will be kept in mind no matter who is in office.This post is not a slap towards the PD.I think we have great officers.They deserve the salaries and everything else they recieve.To say they are not appreciated is ridiculous..

Sun, 11/09/2008 - 1:50am

We live in the worst county in South Jersey and it is growing far worse every day. All this tourist attraction marketing is a waste of money and phony hype covers up the true underside of our small communities, drugs, domestic violence and violent crime usually related to alcoholism and drugs. Those of us who still have money left after paying exorbitant amounts of tax money for shabby and dwindling public services, would do best to head for the hills" to states where it is safe to raise our kids, walk the roads, swim without severe injury, and not hear our neighbors fighting, screaming and partying all night.

Sat, 11/08/2008 - 3:26pm

*** is going on in this county? And we got a guy who is going to cut the POlice force in Lower when he takes office in Jan. Great! God be with you guys in Lower! Get your resume's up to date and go where your appreciated.

Wed, 09/24/2008 - 8:40pm

CHIEF MAHER.....ISN'T THIS THE SAME PERSON WHO SAID THAT THERE ARE NO DRUGS IN LOWER TWP. COME ON!

Tue, 09/23/2008 - 9:44pm

As in any profession, some work hard. Some skate. Cops are no different than say, nurses or trashmen. Work ethic is not dependent on the job you hold, but rather the person you are.

Tue, 09/23/2008 - 7:58pm

I agree with the person below.This is the equivalent to gossip .Lambert is a crook himself .

Tue, 09/23/2008 - 11:50am

the last thing any police officer does is work hard...lets get real...

Mon, 09/22/2008 - 10:23pm

How come the only people in Lower Township who hate the cops are the bad guys and Mike Beck, and his supporters? How do I know Mike Beck hates the cops? The president of the Lower Township Taxpayer's Association said so, right here on the online forum and she does speak for him, doesn't she? Did she speak for him as well when she demanded a stupid thank you from the cop who came back from iraq?

Mon, 09/22/2008 - 12:05pm

If they don't post anything, people say you don't do anything. You do post something and they say don't. You go ahead and keep posting LTPD i'm glad to see the people who drag this community in the mud get locked up. I would have jammed that bike up his ***
but unfortunately , Bad guys seem to get more rights than the law obiding citizens.
And of course he won't pay the hospital bill, so that will be on us. If you didn't take him to the hospital he and his family would sue the township if he'd have died or gotten sick.
So yeah embarass him and give the details. Hpoefully the *** will learn from this as well as others who maybe thinking of selling or doing drugs.

Sun, 09/21/2008 - 5:28pm

Publicizing arrests sends a message to the criminal element that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. In addition, the public has a right to know what goes on in their community. Thank you to the LTPD for all of the hard work you do!

Sun, 09/21/2008 - 11:32am

It's all over anyway folks if Beck gets in. He wants to eliminate two detectives a Captain and a Lieutenant plus four more officers through attrition. His open form of government is to allow the people have more of a say. Like the one who got up at the last township meeting and complained about "Bird Seed". Now the cops have to go after the bird seed Bird Seed Bandit who is throwing bird seed on peoples lawn. She's a Beck supporter. And remember the Cape May County Gazette and how nice that was because it was delivered.....no more. Thanks to one person on the Lower Township Taxpayers Association who is one of Becks right hand men. This bozo who lives in Mickels Run complains about everything. Real Estate Signs, news papers etc. He wants the Township to put a flag, bushes and lighting at the entrance to Mickels Run and he wants the Township to pay for it and the monthly electric along with maintenance. You see Mr. Beck has his people who support him. But they have their agenda also. I honestly hope Beck wins. This way I can get up at every township meeting and publicly bash him every time there is a break in, fight, loud party, or even a stinking barking dog. That's right Beck.....if my quality of life diminishes in the slightest aspect, I will hold you accountable, Every Meeting, Every Day, Every Minute !!

Sun, 09/21/2008 - 6:20am

Which way do you want it? The complaints of our Police Dept. doing nothing to earn their keep are abundant. When a story such as this is printed, you complain. Most of us want to know that the pukes in this area are being caught. Give it up!

Sat, 09/20/2008 - 5:31pm

Fri, 09/19/2008 - 11:01pm

I appreciate what the police do on a daily basis, but does there have to be a public announcement every time they do anything. With 7 detectives you could have a press release every day, oh wait a minute, they to have one or two every day. Give us a BREAK. When Chief Maher was in charge he didn't have to fluff his feathers every time someone did a good job, his recognition to the officer was enough, now that WAS respect

You must get your numbers from Mike Beck, you're off there bucko. There are 4 plus the Sargent.

Sat, 09/20/2008 - 1:55pm

They need to put out the releases to show what great work they are doing. They get so many complaints on a daily basis that they can not keep up on all of them, this shows that they are trying and in my opinion do a great job. If this is what they are catchin how much are they not getting. Just more proof that we need more officers. Keep up the good work LTPD.

At the Medical Center the subject was given a saline solution that caused an immediate evacuation of his entire digestive tract.
Remains of the bag were discovered but not recovered. None of the believed drugs could be identified.

That was WAY more information than necessary for this article.

It seems to me you're trying to come up with some dumb asinine defense.

Tue, 09/23/2008 - 8:31pm

Yes, there was definately alcohol involved here. Perhaps this woman came to out of a black out from drinkingl? You can move around pretty good in a black out. You are not asleep in a black out. You just do not remember what you do or say Also, I heard that the police were called to this residence earlier in the evening.

Mon, 09/22/2008 - 5:10pm

To the person who wrote that they need to do further investigation. For my brother I really need anyone to come forward with any information that will help us get this over with... It will help us out so much again anyone with any information or anyone that was at the party and saw her beggin him to stay we would really be thankful.,.. My Brother is not only my heart her is My daughter godfather and we can't image losing him to something so silly and untruthful Please contact us

Mon, 09/22/2008 - 8:58am

I was at a high school party and my friend was drunk and he was talking to a girl that was drunk. The two decided to have sex, they both consented. However, the next morning, I guess the girl regreted it, and accused my friend of rape. He was arrested, booked, but was found innocent... but the damage was already done. He has to carry that on his back for a very long time. I guess what I am trying to say is that these situations need to be handled delicately. The guy always gets the bad wrap in these situations (I'm not saying the guy in this one wasn't a ***), but when there is alcohol involved things need to be looked at a little more thouroughly.

Sun, 09/21/2008 - 10:08pm

SO you did bring ppl back to your home , your drunk from under age drinking, you tell people to leave, and not making sure they all left before you " fell asleep as oposed to passing out" one stayed in the house ? or was it next morning regrets ? yeah i think i'll go with the supid is as stupid does poster.

Sat, 09/20/2008 - 10:42pm

heeey guys!
just to let you know..
i AM the girl.. who was sexually assaulted.
andddd for the one who posted.. milk and soda..
if you JUST need to know..
we WERE at a party.
then left .. and went to my house for about 30 mins.
i asked everyone to leave. but obviously.. only one didnt.
so shut your mouth, before you know the whole story. THANKS!

Sat, 09/20/2008 - 10:17pm

further investigation is needed. There are witnesses who state that she knew he was there and begged him to stay. Where is the investigation before charging a young man with a serious charge like this. ***

Sat, 09/20/2008 - 1:58pm

9/19 @ 2:51, so by your reasoning because the lady had been drinking (not sure the truth to it, just your statement) she deserves to be assualted or even should expect it. Somebody ought to follow your perfect life and take advantage of you the first time you slip up, then tell us if it simply is stupid is as stupid does.

Fri, 09/19/2008 - 7:21pm

Good to see drugs off the street!

Fri, 09/19/2008 - 2:51pm

Uhh huh, and at this " social gathering " only milk and soda was to drink. Stupid is as stupid does.

Mon, 09/15/2008 - 5:27pm

it's hilarious that there are so many *** in wildwood. you can blame the landlords and social services. they cater to this type of client. meanwhile the taxpayers of wildwood are drained paying for police to babysit these retards. soon, if the mayor has his way, we will have highrises full of thers people. at least they will have an ocean view to stare at when they are sitting high as a kite waiting for the mailman to bring their next welfare or ssi check. welcome to wildwood. it will never change.

Another tough guy that has to beat up on women...I hope he ends up in a cell with a real man! Then he'll know how it feels to get beat down!

Fri, 08/22/2008 - 6:22am

Hmmmmm.......makes you wonder how drunk the female victim was to get on the back of a motorcycle with this guy. I too pray she recovers.

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 8:56pm

Your touting a big party to get all the shoobie biker money.
You have invited only Harleys.
You have invited Billy Lane, who while *** State Park Ranger Morelock!!!

KEEP IT!!!! (for your very own sweet selves)

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 11:24pm

to 8/20 806 am Jail may be the only thing that keeps him sober The only problem is we all pay to keep someone like this in jail and he never changes no job no life only drinking and parties. Any update on the female's condition?

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 3:10pm

Yea on unemployment

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 8:06am

what kind of stupid person is that guy he gets drunk and drives i hope there is jail time

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 6:07pm

Umm... no we would be just fine considering we survive all winter without "shoobies"! Thank God!

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 2:30pm

If the shore communities didn't have "shoobies" this area would be a 3rd world country

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 11:29am

yeah we pretty much do, so pack up your kids before we hit and kill you.

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 10:13am

Funny because the the accidents that involve you "SHOOBIES" still out weight the locals, and its a crying shame that most of those accidents involve death and the people dying are locals. We never said we where perfect, but you come here criticizing us, if it wasn't for us locals you **** "SHOOBIES" wouldn't have anywhere to vacation to now would you. GO HOME, we don't need you or your bull, stick to what you come down here for beach, boardwalk and fun. And keep your comments off OUR local newspaper. SHOOBIE!!!!!

LOCAL

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 7:05am

all involved are probably from Kensington as is the 8/18 3:01 commenter...Philly is a dump..thank goodness for the sports...

How old is Cheryl ? I hope she is older then the *** usually goes for.
And I do hope she is ok

Mon, 08/18/2008 - 3:01pm

And all you locals want to do is to say us "shoobies" are bad drivers. Does every local drive drunk, it seems like it

Tue, 09/02/2008 - 9:52am

Sun, 08/24/2008 - 9:51pm

To 8/22/2008 4:04 pm - What the heck is a "finance"? Is that a boyfriend that pays for everything? She owns her own home - she could get out of this relationship if she wanted to ***

Sun, 08/24/2008 - 10:50am

8/22 @4:04- Why don't you just send a sympathy card instead of posting on here?!

Fri, 08/22/2008 - 4:04pm

I am a close and personal friend of Judi Lund. I have witnessed the abuse and distrust that her finance has placed upon her. I personally was verbally attacked by her finance the day in question. He appeared drunk and making no sense while yelling at me. She was very embarrassed by his behavior.

In response to the comment that "why is she still with him?" Sometimes leaving is easier said than done, as we all know this to be a fact! Situations sometimes present themselves that make the easy solution an impossibility.

I love and support Judi and wish her the best with this situation and always in life!
Diane

Fri, 08/22/2008 - 12:36am

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" is probably what your fiancee said after the first punch - but did you listen? And in response to the 8/20/08 11:28 pm writer - you state "A woman has every right to defend her children even when they are being talked bad about" - If this is what her fiancee was doing then why is she still with him?

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 5:07pm

EVERYONE NEEDS TO LET IT GO...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...Get on with your own lives and leave me alone...And by the way, no one is "enabling" me...As for you Erik...the only one you are hurting is your mother...not me...think about that one....The truth will be known soon enough...

Signed,
JUDI LUND

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 3:21pm

I glad this rookie cop had the stones to see through the lies that Erik sister is trying to spread. Unfortunately, I have been to several funerals of family members and friends and the last thing I want to do is come home and fist fight with my spouse

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 3:18pm

I am not a family member but I do know all parties involved. I applaud Erik for doing the right thing and hearing crap from other members of the family for speaking out. Maybe someday they'll see that they have enabled her and therefore she isn't getting the help she needs to get her life straightened out.

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 2:45pm

Also If you have to belittle me to make her look better than so be it. Yes I did get in trouble when i was 15 and I took the punishment that I was given and nobody protected me. And by the way, if you KNOW so much about me you would know that Rob was NOT involved. But like I said its all ignorance. I also want to say that this is really amusing for everyone that is reading this page because most of you are family and friends, to the ones that are not Its been a good laugh, Thanks. This truly shows how people act when they cant hide from their actions. And how they try to change the original point of view and put the focus on someone else in this case it is me. I ask anyone that knows me, to understand, I can chose my friends but I cant chose my family. Finally, if I am what you say I am, please enlighten me with any truth to your accusations.

Thank you Erik

PS every time I have written on here I have posted my name so sorry to disappoint you but the comments are from other people and not me. I have no reason to hide, unlike you. Sorry for you but I am not afraid to print my name.

People should really get there facts straight if they want to talk. And if you think I don't know mine, prove it.

Thu, 08/21/2008 - 1:07pm

You people are ignorant to the whole situation. I said one thing and now you are all trying to take the focus from her and put it on me. HAHA!!! And if any of you have the audacity to "post" than you should have the courage to write your name (but you won't). Or even better say it to me in person (again, won't). This has nothing to do with her last name, the county is just finally happy that something is finally being done she's been getting away with her *** for way too long. Sister or not, I do not stand behind ***

ERIK
(see name printed above)

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 11:28pm

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 8:49am
YES it is the Erik you think it is... her brother, who has also posted many of the comments on here. He definitely has a problem with everyone and anybody. He thinks he is perfect, but lets not forget about the incident where he *** with his friends, one of which I think is the "rob" who also commented. And as far as Mr. Fessler is concerned, yes he has a macho attitude...and as always, the cop is alwyas right...no matter what....guess we will find out when the verdict is in...Rookie cop+attitude+having NO idea what happened that day=bad day for everyone.....
A woman has every right to defend her children, even when they are being talked bad about...YOU have no idea what went on...get a life..
And "ROB"-YOU have no idea what you are talking about, except whatever you heard from ERIK...who everyone knows, is a li*** and "never" wrong about anything...Maybe you should look at your friend a little closer...
And as far as her last name...you are absolutley right...would have never been printed had it been something else....

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 7:43pm

Hey Wednesday 8:49 what reason should Erik have to be ashamed of himself??? If anyone needs to be ashamed its Judy and all you people that stand behind her!!! The only thing you people standing behind her are doing, is you keep encouraging her to be a *** on society. Its time to grow up. S*** Nobody in their right mind would be putting themselves through this let alone their kids through this!!! And to everyone that sits there and really reads the story and understands that this lady is obviously *** I thank you for not falling victim to the "She's the female so that makes her the victim"!!! Also its funny how all you people that stand behind her dont have enough courage to post who you are.

Also R** apologies go out to you for being marked as a senior citizen!! "We need to stop the abuse on our local citizens that are 70 years young"

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 3:14pm

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 9:14am

Once again I had to giggle at some spouters. This time its 08-19-2008 at 7:54. If it isnt the accused speaking it's obviously a family member. The funny part I refer too is the writer saying that the Officer had something to prove. Does anyone in this state take responsibility for their actions or are they always looking to blame someone. The cop got called to go there for a domestic and now he is being macho ? You, Mr/Mrs writer need to get your head out of the sand and look around cause them evil cops are probably looking to make you thier next victim to prove once again how macho they might be. Grow up

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 8:49am

Erik-

I certainly hope you are not the Erik I think you are. If you are then you should be ashamed of yourself. S***

Must be a slow news day in Cape May, I bet if her last name was Smith or Jones this would not be a story in Cape May.

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 12:09am

The male was bleeding and his fase was swollen, come on mommy 08-19-2008 at 7:54PM. What more do you need !! Some of you women think you can do whatever you want and because you are women you must be the victim. Thank god the police see thru your games.

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 10:54pm

7:54 pm is a joke. You must not know her . I do and you are wrong about everything you say other than maybe there was a funeral that day.

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 10:09pm

To the commenter that posted on 7:54 obviously you have not the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Ok yes there is 2 sides to every story so lets talk about the two sides. You claim that this is just a bad moment?? Thats funny because im guessing 2 weeks prior was just a bad moment as well. This lady attacked one of my buddys at his own home and currently has charges pending if i remember correctly. And if it was just a bad moment why would she have attacked 2 other people in previous years as well. Also, I cant believe you would verbally attack the local police!!! How do you come to the conclusion the officer Fessler was being "Macho" and way out of hand where you there? Last time I checked it was an officers job to protect and serve. If she wasnt so out of hand and intoxicated then why was she arrested and taken to the police station where is states she still was out of hand? I cant wait till the day you need the local police and they come to your rescue then what are you going to have to say about them then? To make along story short before you go posting as if you know what your talking about you should get your facts straight!!

P.S. If you know "ALL" the facts enlighten cape may may county as to what these facts are.
Rob

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 7:54pm

First of all, there is ALWAYS 2 sides. It is a shame that people have nothing better to do than pass judgement on others. As a matter of fact, there were a lot of things leading up to the incident...including a funeral that day. Officer Fessler apparently has a lot to prove by being "macho" in his decisions on how to handle police activity. Anybody that knows this lady, knows she is not a bad person, her kids are well kept and good kids, and not at all abused...She is a local, but NOT local ***. Has anyone ever heard of the "let you without sin cast the first stone?" Everyone at some point in their lives has a bad moment. Why the newspaper decided this was "newsworthy" I am not sure. It definitely is not going to hurt the lady, but will definitley affect her kids. NOW, who is providing the abuse? Everyone should let it be...and look at your owns lives before you pass judgement.

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 4:01pm

They both need help!

Tue, 08/19/2008 - 1:24pm

HELLLLOOOOOO......get her side? Don't think she was ever aware that she had one. Pretty sure I've seen this couple at *** or was it the ***??!! Were they wearing their Villa's t-shirts?

Mon, 08/18/2008 - 10:10pm

8/18@3:17- THEY WERE PROBABLY "SHOOBIES" RENTING FOR THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 08/18/2008 - 3:17pm

More great moments in local trash, and you people complain about us "shoobies"

Sun, 08/17/2008 - 9:59pm

What is the "WHOLE truth" according to you? The police state it as it happened.

Sat, 08/16/2008 - 11:05pm

8/16-11:50--- why don't you print the WHOLE truth?

Sat, 08/16/2008 - 9:49pm

Apparently, innocent until proven guilty does NOT apply to Cape May County or the Herald newspaper. Can someone define the difference between freedom of speech and defamation of character? Apparently there is none. Since when is it ok to print allegations, before someone is actually found guilty? Maybe the Herald reporters should contact both side before they print anything. Seems to me someone should look into the legal side of their reporting tactics.

(ED. NOTE: It is perfectly legal to print arrest reports, since they are public record. There is no indication of guilt or innocence, only that the charges were pressed. Ajudge will decide the person's ultimate disposition.)

Sat, 08/16/2008 - 11:50am

Maybe everybody should get ALL the facts before they make any accusations. Why didn't they print the WHOLE truth...

Sat, 08/16/2008 - 10:52am

Hope DYFS gets involved with this family..she has been *** for many years and Im sure her *** from her actions.

Fri, 08/15/2008 - 11:03pm

Did her young children witness this horrific incident?
