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.

David L. Carr (DOB 7/25/56), of Glassboro, was convicted by a Gloucester County jury today of possession of a rifle by a felon, a second-degree crime that will imprison him for at least five years and as many as ten years.
The rifle was found during execution of a search warrant at Carr’s 53 South Academy St. residence in Glassboro on March 20, 2009. In addition to Carr, two women were arrested and less than a half-ounce of crack cocaine in plastic bags was retrieved from a toilet in a bathroom where the women were found. The rifle for which Carr was convicted was found in a closet in Carr’s bedroom. Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Joseph More stressed the location of the weapon when the defense raised questions about its ownership.
The jury in Carr’s three-day trial acquitted him on charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of CDS with intent to distribute and distribution of CDS within 500 feet of public housing.
The weapons offense on which Carr was convicted was based on prior offenses which prohibited him from owning a firearm. The most recent crime was his 1995 conviction for fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.
Superior Court Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr, continued Carr’s bail, in light of the defendant’s medical condition, and scheduled sentencing for Sept. 9.

Prosecutors' School Safety Conference Theme: Cyber-bullying
PRESS RELEASE
July 27, 2011
For Immediate Release
Contact: Bernie Weisenfeld- PIO
This year’s Southern New Jersey Prosecutors School Safety and Security Conference will focus on the sometimes deadly consequences of bullying, particularly when it spreads on-line, which was the keynote speaker’s tragedy.
Previously limited to educators and law enforcement officials from seven South Jersey counties, the fifth annual conference on Aug. 17 will be open to the general public. Admission is free. Pre-register at cyberbullying@co.gloucester.nj.us.
“The goal of this conference is to safeguard our children by raising awareness regarding on-line activities that can change lives and sometimes have deadly consequences,” said Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean F. Dalton. “A collaborative approach involving law enforcement, educators, community leaders, parents and, most importantly, students, is needed to accomplish this.”
Conference speakers will include New Jersey Attorney General Paula Dow and John P. Halligan, who speaks across the country about the 2003 suicide of his 13-year-old son Ryan a silent victim of taunts and insults in school and on-line when the Halligan family lived in Vermont. The tragedy led to a Vermont bullying prevention law in 2004. New Jersey’s anti-bullying law, considered the nation’s toughest when enacted in January, requires schools to publicly report incidents and permits expulsion of offenders. It takes effect in the coming school year.
In addition, Sgt. Steve LaPorta of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office will speak about the unforeseen consequences of “sexting,” a popular activity in which a teenager’s nude or semi-nude images are transmitted electronically. Sgt. LaPorta for the past seven years has investigated a variety of online crimes that target young people.
The Aug. 17 conference, to run from 8:30 a.m. to noon, will be held in the TD Bank Performing Arts Center at Washington Township High School, Hurffville-Cross Keys Rd, Sewell. A continental breakfast will be served and registration held from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Sponsors are the prosecutor’s offices of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, Salem and Cape May counties.
