Contact: Bernie Weisenfeld- PIO

Felicia Tucker (DOB 3/22/85) of 1446 12th Avenue in Monroe Township NJ, has been charged with second-degree endangering of a child in connection with the death by drowning of her 2 ½ year-old nephew, who she was looking after when he left the house on the evening of August 1 and who eventually was found in a nearby lake.

Tucker was arrested Tuesday (8/9) and released on her own recognizance.

The complaint by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said Tucker, who shared the Victory Lakes home with the boy’s family, was responsible for his care at the time of the offense and caused him to be an endangered child “by allowing him to leave the residence and drown.” The boy, who investigators were told was autistic, was found by Tucker and a friend in a lake near the house in three feet of water. Tucker called police after finding the front door open and the boy missing. After nearly two hours on a respirator at Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Washington Township, NJ, he was pronounced dead shortly after 11 p.m. on 8/1/11.

Joseph A. Schlosser (DOB 8/29/63) of 603 South Broad St., Clayton has been charged with theft of more than $22,000 from the Clayton Little League over a two-year period while he was the organization’s treasurer.

Schlosser was arrested by the Clayton Police Department late Tuesday and posted the required 10 percent of his $2,500 bail. He is charged with third-degree theft of $22,732.35. It is alleged the offense occurred between September 2008 and May 2011. The charges resulted from a two-month investigation by the Clayton PD and the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office major crimes unit.

The missing funds came to light in late spring after vendors to the children’s baseball league reported non-payment of bills and some checks bouncing. At that time, Schlosser, an auto mechanic and father of a Little Leaguer, was relieved of his treasurer’s duties. He had held an ATM card which it was learned had been used to make unauthorized withdrawals. It was also discovered that Schlosser had moved the Little League bank account from an institution where the league president had access to it, to another bank where only he could monitor the funds.

Brian Moxley (DOB 2/20/88), of 374 Mullica Hill Rd., Mullica Hill pleaded guilty today (8/8) to the Jan. 16, 2011 armed robbery of a West Deptford truck stop where he worked part-time.

Moxley and his wife Kellye Moxley (2/10/90), of the same address, were both charged with robbery of the Crown Point Truck Stop’s convenience store. Brian Moxley was accused of using a BB gun to demand cash while Kellye Moxley was the alleged driver of the getaway car. The robbery netted $710 but the employee Moxley confronted recognized him as a co-worker. The Moxleys were arrested the same day by West Deptford police. Both claimed to have drug-addiction problems.

In a plea agreement, Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Temperance Williamson will recommend that Brian Moxley be sentenced as a second-degree offender to five years in New Jersey state prison, serving 85 percent of the term before he is eligible for parole. Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson scheduled sentencing for Oct. 21.

First-degree complicity to commit robbery charges against Kellye Moxley are pending
