Re.: Monroe man gets 7 yrs in home invasions

Tyler Conant (DOB 10/25/90), of 703 Green Ave., Williamstown has been sentenced to seven years in New Jersey state prison for his admitted role in home invasion robberies of a Chews Landing Rd. dwelling in Winslow Township on Feb. 23, 2010 and a Whitehall Rd. residence in Monroe Township on March 3, 2010.

In Friday’s (5/16) sentencing of Conant, who pleaded guilty to charges of armed robbery in both cases on March 15, 2011, Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson ordered that he serve 85 percent of the sentence before he is eligible for parole.

In both the Monroe and Winslow home invasions, a shotgun and a handgun were brandished by those who entered the residences. Jewelry, game consoles and a credit card were taken from the victims. Defendant Conant and three codefendants were arrested after a Monroe officer stopped their speeding car shortly after the Whitehall Rd. incident. Charges are still pending against Darius Coleman (DOB 9/3/88) and Dequan Gilmore (DOB 9/23/91), both of Millville and Harvey Green Jr. (DOB 8/10/88) of Bridgeton. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Joseph More.
