Marcus L. Coley (DOB 6/17/73) of the Gateway Apartments, Glassboro was sentenced today to an extended term of 14 years in New Jersey state prison following his June 17 conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute in a Glassboro school zone and possession of hollow-point bullets.
Although the cocaine conviction was a second-degree crime, Coley was sentenced as a first-degree offender because of three prior felonies- two for drug-dealing- since 1995. Since then, “the defendant has essentially lived his life in the criminal justice system,” said Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Alex Gutierrez, who presented the State’s case in Coley’s trial.
In addition to 13 years for the guilty verdict on drugs, Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson sentenced Coley to 364 days for possession of the prohibited bullets, which she noted was a “separate and distinct offense.” Coley is ineligible for parole for the first six years of his sentence.
Judge Allen-Jackson said her sentence took into account Coley’s tearful plea today to consider that he has four small children and suffers from heart disease that he believes will shorten his life.
The charges resulted from execution of a search warrant at Coley’s home April 16, 2009 in which a half-ounce of crack cocaine and seven hollow-point bullets were seized. The home is near the J. Harvey Rogers elementary school.
“This sentence will help keep the neighborhood around this elementary school safe, thanks to the efforts of law enforcement,” said Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean F. Dalton.

PRESS RELEASE
July 12, 2011
For Immediate Release
Contact: Bernie Weisenfeld- PIO
Tomorrow (7/13), 25 Gloucester County high school students will learn what it’s like to be a bike patrol officer and why they shouldn’t take another route that could put them in prison.
The teenagers are in their second week of a month-long summer internship with the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office. This is the ninth such group in a program intended to expose young people to the law enforcement and criminal justice systems, by spending two weeks at the Gloucester County Police Academy in Deptford NJ and two weeks at the GCPO offices in Woodbury NJ.
In their final days at the academy, the teenagers will get familiar with the purposes of bicycle patrols and meet with a female New Jersey state prison inmate who is part of the state Corrections Department’s Project P.R.I.D.E. The prison education program was developed to spread awareness of the prison system in the outside community through inmates telling their life stories.
At the offices of the GCPO, the students will learn about crime scene investigations and trial procedures, tour the county jail, experience the Cooper Trauma Center in Camden where many crime victims are treated and visit the Constitution Center in Philadelphia and the Tolerance Center in New York City.

2 Charged, 1 Sought in 5/9 Deptford Bank Robbery
PRESS RELEASE
July 14, 2011
For Immediate Release
Contact: Bernie Weisenfeld- PIO
In a cooperative investigation by the FBI Violent Offender Task force, the Deptford Township (NJ) Police Department and the Gloucester County (NJ) Prosecutor’s Office fugitive unit, two men were charged today (7/14) with armed robbery of The Bank on Park Avenue in Deptford NJ on May 9, 2011 in which an Uzi-style submachine gun was used by one of two masked men.
One of the suspects, Dwayne Tribbett (DOB 5/20/80), whose last address was 1026 Lippincott Ave., Woodbury NJ, remains at large.
The other accused in the robbery is Warren Christopher Davis (DOB 5/29/80), of 1256 Octagon Rd., Camden NJ. He is under arrest.
Both men are charged by Deptford police with first-degree robbery, first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and third-degree theft over $10,000. Davis also is charged with second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon; second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose; second-degree certain persons not to have a weapon; fourth-degree possession of a large capacity ammo magazine and fourth-degree pointing a firearm at another. Bail for both was set today at $200,000.
Davis has been in the Gloucester County Jail since his July 1 arrest in Camden on a bench warrant for failure to appear for a June 15 court hearing in Woodbury on a criminal restraint charge in Paulsboro. Davis also had outstanding arrest arrants
for failure to make child support payments and car theft in Philadelphia. Officers of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and the GCPO fugitive unit arrested Davis.
The investigation leading to today’s charges utilized leads developed from several informants. Locating Davis, who has lived in Camden and Gloucester counties, was challenging, since he apparently believed he was being sought for the bank hold-up.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Dwayne Tribbett is asked to contact Sgt. Barry Johnson of the GCPO fugitive unit at (856) 548-5485 or provide an anonymous text message. Text GLOTIP and the message and 274637.

Today’s charges accuse him of endangering the children by leaving them “alone and unattended” after stabbing their mother, “leaving her incapacitated and unable to care” for them. Rodriguez remains in the Gloucester County Jail in default of $200.000 bail. He was denied a bail reduction last week, The bail now covers the endangering charges filed by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
