Charges are also currently pending in the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office, Bellmawr, Bordentown, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Deptford. Denville, Eastampton, Egg Harbor, Evesham, Florham Park, Gloucester Township, Hamilton Township, Merchantville, Mount Holly, Pemberton, Southampton, Toms River, Voorhees, and West Deptford.
