Lot Webber\’s Request for Bail Reduction Denied; 14 Felony Convictions, and Many DUI\’s

WOODBURY NJ (November 7, 2014)–Lot Webber (DOB 7/15/69), of Mullica Hill NJ, whose criminal history and driving record include many convictions, was denied a reduction in bail today on his latest drunk driving and narcotics arrest.

 Even Webber’s lawyer acknowledged in asking for a bail reduction from $10,000 that his client had a \”long record,\” while adding that Webber did cooperate with police in a 10/29/14 Mantua Township vehicle stop, consenting to a search of his car. Six packets of cocaine were found. Webber’s driver’s license was suspended at the time. Webber has no funds for bail, his lawyer said.

 Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Vincent Malfitano said any lowering of bail was \”not appropriate,\” given Webber’s history of 14 felony convictions and a driving record that \”is replete with drunk driving.\” Webber was sentenced 2/5/13 to 18 months in state prison after pleading guilty to driving during a second or subsequent drunk driving suspension. Superior Court Judge Paul R. Porreca denied the bail reduction motion.

Pennsville clinches WJFL Classic, No. 1 seed by beating Gloucester, 25-23

– NJ.com

The Pennsville Memorial High School football team rallied from an early 15-0 deficit to down Gloucester, 25-23, on Friday night, clinching the West Jersey Football League Classic Division title and the No. 1 seed in South Jersey Group 1.

The Eagles improved to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the Classic, while the Lions – who will likely head to the postseason as the No. 3 seed – fell to 6-2, 4-1.

In a series that has often been ruled by offense, the Pennsville defense stepped up at the end. Trailing by two after turning the ball over on downs in Lion territory in the fourth quarter, the Eagles got the ball back at the Lion 41 when Seth Singleton recovered a fumble.

Josh VanBlarcom scored on a 24-yard TD run three plays later to give the Eagles a 25-21 lead, and the Eagles – who took a safety in the last two minutes –didn’t allow another first down the final two drives.

Gloucester jumped out to a 15-0 lead four minutes into the game. Justin Graves made several defenders miss on a 23-yard shovel pass on fourth-and-6 on the opening drive, then after a turnover, Ken Barton scored on a 20-yard run.
