Russell Vann, 54, right, was one of 20 defendants named as alleged members of “a criminal enterprise responsible for the distribution significant quantities of heroin and the trafficking of firearms,” Prosecutor Peter E. Warshaw, Jr. said in a prepared announcement.

Two other men arrested in the sweep and previously identified as Red Bank residents were not named in the indictment. They are Charles Dixon, 54, and Raymond Jackson, 41.

Vann, whose street address was not given, was among 40 people arrested in a series of raids last summer, the announcement said. The prosecutor contends Vann was a “mid-level” heroin dealer, one of a number of such alleged player who were

indicted for racketeering conspiracy for their roles as “runners” who distributed, stored or collected money for the sale of quantities of heroin sold under Stevenson’s supervision and at his direction.

During the course of the investigation, approximately 200 bricks of heroin, a quantity of cocaine and approximately $72,000 in U.S. currency was seized. The heroin seized has an estimated street value of approximately $50,000.

Vann was charged with multiple counts of drug possession and conspiracy, including the intent to distribute drugs in a public housing complex. He is not charged with any weapons-related offenses.

He was being held of $350,000 bail, with no option to post 10 percent, and facing a bail source hearing, the prosecutor said.

A misty fog offered the perfect hunting-in-the-field vibe for nearly 50 enthusiasts who gathered for a trap-shooting event at the Rumson Country Club Saturday.

Shotgun blasts broke the morning calm as 47 participants took turns firing at orange discs lofted into the air at the the Monmouth County chapter of Ducks Unlimited‘s third annual clay shoot, a fundraiser for the conservation and maintenance of North American wetlands.

The clay shoot and the other charitable events Ducks Unlimited sponsors create opportunities for shooters and hunters to put money back into the wetlands, said state chairman Scott Paterson, a Rumson police lieutenant. Funds raised from entry fees and raffles will be dedicated to conservation efforts, he said.

“Hunters give back more than anybody,” Paterson said. “Trap and skeet shooters too, but we take, take, take, and we need to give back.”

Anyone who has hunted “at one point feels the need to give something back,” said Craig Widmaier of Red Bank, treasurer of the Monmouth County unit.

“This is strictly a grassroots and volunteer effort for habitat and wetland conservation,” one that has grown exponentially as Ducks Unlimited is now an international organization in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Widmaier said.

Paterson, Widmaier and Monmouth County chairwoman Anne Pfaff have racked up a combined 50 years volunteering with Ducks Unlimited. The event, and the organizations’s mission, made for “a natural fit,” Pfaff said, as she ran around organizing shooting squads on the range’s blacktop surface.

Each shooter got three rounds of 25 clays, and chances at individual and team prizes. Raffle merchandise included prints, hand-carved shore birds and decoys by Anthony Ciambrone.

Paterson is also planning a spring shoreline clean-up in coming weeks with help from Ducks Unlimited and students from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional, he said. Volunteers will find contact info on the Ducks Unlimited website.

But much about the incident remains under wraps as police continue their investigation, Chief Steve McCarthy tells redbankgreen.

Charged with aggravated assault with a handgun and other criminal violations was Andrew Makuch, 25, of 16 Hudson Avenue.

According to McCarthy, Patrolman David Hicks was driving north along Hudson Avenue shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday when he heard shouting coming from 19 Hudson. Hicks entered the house through the open front door and found Makuch pointing a pistol at another man, McCarthy said.

Hicks ordered Makuch to drop the weapon, which he did after a few tense seconds, McCarthy said.

Four other officers soon arrived. Makuch was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a weapon,  two counts of aggravated assault with a handgun, burglary with a firearm, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and possession of hollow-point ammunition.

Hollow-point bullets expand on contact, causing more damage than conventional bullets.

McCarthy said that Makuch “heard screaming at the apartment, and he went there, but I really can’t say much more than that at this point” because police are still gathering information. Police have not not publicly identified the second man.

Though there was no sign of forced entry, Makuch was charged with burglary because whether or not there is forced entry, “it is unlawful to enter a structure with intent to commit a crime, and he committed a crime,” McCarthy said.

Makuch was ordered held on $95,000 bail, but apparently has made bail, as he is no longer listed as being in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution.

Meanwhile, McCarthy lauded Hicks for doing what he termed “a tremendous job in what could have been a very bad situation.”

On January 31, 2012 at approximately 5:50 pm the Middletown Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Rite Aid Pharmacy located on Newman Springs Road in the Lincroft section of Middletown. Police say the suspect was described as a white male with a thin build between 5’08 and 6’00 tall. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a grey stripe on the front, large black framed sunglasses and dark colored pants.

Police say the suspect entered the pharmacy, lifted up his sweatshirt and exposed a black colored hand gun in his waistband and demanded Oxycodone pills. The suspect then fled the store and was last seen running behind the pharmacy.

 Police request anyone with information to contact Detective Daniel Sullivan of the Middletown Police Department at (732) 615-2255. The Rite Aid Pharmacy Loss Prevention Department is offering a $5,000.00 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect.

The scenario is terrifying: someone loose in a school with gun or rifle and bent on carnage.

No school district can assume it is immune.

On Tuesday morning, subscribers to the Two River Alert text notification system were informed that Little Silver police had conducted their mandated annual lockdown and active-shooter security drills at the Markham Place and Little Silver Point Road schools.

The operations, which call for a room-by-room sweep of each facility, involved the local police department’s six-member tactical squad, “fully geared up in protective body armor and carrying tactical weapons,” police Chief Dan Shaffery tells redbankgreen.

Shaffery declined to offer much detail, but said the exercises are aimed at addressing threats from outside and within the schools.

The kids, he said, “are very good about it. They understand it.”

“I guess every generation has their thing” akin to the threat of a nuclear attack during the Cold War, he said.

Similar drills will be held at a future date at Red Bank Regional, which is also located within borough borders, he said.

“It’s one of those things you drill for and you hope you never, ever have to put in play,” said Shaffery. “But if you do, you’re ready.”

Russell Vann and Charles Dixon, both 54 years old, and Raymond Jackson, 41, were caught up on drug distribution charges in raids led by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s office over the past month, the agency said in an announcement.

All three were alleged to have been “midlevel” drug dealers in a hierarchical” syndicate run by a Long Branch man, who was also arrested. No street addresses for Vann, Dixon and Jackson were immediately available.

Here’s the full text of the announcement:

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office’s Narcotics and Criminal Enterprises Unit, arrested numerous members of a racketeering network responsible for the distribution of significant quantities of heroin and the illegal sale of assault firearms in and around the Monmouth County area. The arrests occurred between July 1, 2011 and August 3, 2011, with most occurring this week.

The investigation began in the fall of 2010 when members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office received information regarding a narcotics distribution and firearms trafficking network based in Long Branch. As the investigation proceeded, the leader of this network was identified as Anthony Stevenson, a/k/a “Nygee,” 43, of Long Branch.

During the eight-month investigation that followed, Stevenson orchestrated and/or personally sold quantities of heroin to an undercover officer on several occasions. As a result, more than 38 “bricks” of heroin were purchased from Stevenson and his associates. A “brick” contains approximately 50 glassine baggies of heroin, which are bundled in groups of ten. On certain occasions, Stevenson also distributed quantities of cocaine as requested by his associates.

The investigation also revealed that Stevenson obtained most of the heroin he sold from Uwenzen Jenkins, 39, of West Orange. On July 1, 2011, surveillance officers observed Jenkins meet with two of Stevenson’s associates, Dario Woods, 32, of Asbury Park and Keith Rogers, 40, of Asbury Park, to purchase heroin on behalf of Stevenson. After this meeting, Woods and Rogers were found to be in possession of approximately 40 bricks of heroin during a motor
vehicle stop in Tinton Falls and were taken into custody.

In addition to narcotics trafficking, the investigation revealed that Stevenson brokered the transport and sale of illegal firearms brought into New Jersey by Amos Castro, 39, formerly of Long Branch, who currently resides in South Carolina, and Leroy Taylor, 40, of North Carolina.

During the course of the investigation, on April 11, 2011, Castro sold a handgun to an undercover officer in Christabell’s American Soul Food Restaurant, on Springdale Avenue in Long Branch, a restaurant owned by Stevenson. On July 21, 2011, Stevenson sold two assault rifles, obtained from Leroy Taylor, to an undercover officer in the parking lot of a West Long Branch gas station. Castro and Taylor were arrested on August 3, 2011 – Castro in New Jersey and Taylor in North Carolina. Taylor remains in North Carolina and is pending extradition proceedings.

On August 1, 2011, surveillance officers observed Jenkins sell a quantity of heroin to Stevenson and one of his associates, Kenrick Crawford, 43, of Asbury Park. Stevenson and Crawford were later arrested following a motor vehicle stop in Tinton Falls and were found to be in possession of approximately 50 bricks of heroin.

On that same date, a lawful search was conducted at Christabell’s restaurant in Long Branch. Police seized two bricks of heroin from inside the restaurant. Present in the business at the time were Andrew Davis, 46, of Long Branch, Francisco Gomez, 23, of Long Branch, Deborah Howard, 40, of Asbury Park and her daughter, Jessica Howard, 22, of Long Branch.

Davis was charged with Possession of Cocaine. Deborah and Jessica Howard and Francisco Gomez were charged with Possession and Possession with Intent to Distribute Heroin. Deborah was later charged with Racketeering Conspiracy on August 3, 2011.

The charges allege that Stevenson and his co-conspirators are members of a hierarchal criminal enterprise whose members have specific roles that were determined by Stevenson.

Additional individuals involved in the enterprise were arrested on Wednesday, August 3, 2011.

Their roles, charges and respective bails are described more fully in the attached chart and listed as follows:

Anthony Stevenson, is the alleged Leader of this criminal enterprise; Stevenson’s primary heroin supplier is alleged to be Uwenzen Jenkins; Dario Woods, Keith Rogers and Malik Williams are alleged to be three of Stevenson’s key associates.

Walter Taylor III, Kevin Foye and Trevor Stovall were arrested on August 2, 2011, and are alleged to be drug suppliers to Stevenson. Taylor was found to be in possession of 20 bricks of heroin at the time of his arrest.

The following individuals were arrested on August 3, 2011, and are alleged to be midlevel heroin dealers who purchased various quantities of heroin from Stevenson for distribution to their own respective customer bases: Russell Vann, John M. Cooper, Robert Gilliard, James Soweski, Derrick Alberts, Nelson Alberts, Paul Brown, Guillermo Reyes, James Williams, Raymond Jackson, Emanuel Jones, Gregory Glover, Charles Dixon, Robert Jones, Douglas Gibson, Sr., Vanessa Evans, Ryan Fitch and Joseph Aviles.

The following individuals were also arrested on August 3, 2011, and are alleged to be “runners” who distributed quantities of heroin under Stevenson’s supervision and at his direction: Christopher Brock and Rozina McCullers.

Additionally, Latief Forbes, Patrick Brock, Joseph Stovall, Leon Norman and Patrick Norman, Jr., were arrested on August 3, 2011, and charged with various possession and possession with intent type offenses.

The following individuals remained at large as of August 4, 2011: Keith Rogers, Raymond Pridgen, Steven Worsley, Paul Brown, Patrick Norman, Sr. and Willie Starks.

All of those arrested were remanded to the Monmouth County Correctional Institute in
lieu of bail, which was set by the Honorable Lawrence M. Lawson, A.J.S.C. All bails require a
hearing to determine the source of the funds being posted before they can be accepted.
During the course of this investigation, over 150 bricks (in excess of 7500 separate glassine bags) of heroin, approximately one pound of marijuana, a small quantity of cocaine and approximately $72,000 in U.S. currency were seized. The heroin alone has an estimated street value of approximately $75,000.

Notwithstanding these arrests, the investigation into the activities of this criminal enterprise is continuing. Members of the public possessing information regarding criminal activity by any of the individuals arrested are encouraged to contact Captain Brian Rubino of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at 1 (800) 848-0668.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor James E. Jones, Jr., Director of the Narcotics and Criminal Enterprises Unit, and Assistant Prosecutor Paul Alexander.

Wilfred A. Dunn Jr., no address given, faces up to 20 years for each robbery, according to documents filed in connection with the plea.

According to an FBI agent’s statement in court records, Dunn entered a TD Bank branch on River Road in Fair Haven last August 20 and passed a teller a note that said, “I have a loaded gun in my bag. Just give me the money and nobody gets hurt. 20s, 50s and 100s.”

The clerk handed over $3,071, the filing states.

One week later, Dunn robbed another TD branch, in Cranford,  he admitted during Monday’s 30-minute hearing. The FBI agent said the suspect first grabbed a handful of cash from a drawer at which the teller was counting cash, then passed a note threatening that he had a gun, and left with about $4,000.

Both incidents were captured on bank surveillance video. In addition, a witness saw the Cranford suspect leave the bank in a Ford Taurus and noted the license plate number.

Later that day, according to court papers, Red Bank police made a traffic stop on the vehicle, which Dunn was driving. On a search warrant, they found a yellow hoodie, red doo-rag and sunglasses matching those of the suspect seen on the Cranford video, according to the FBI statement.

Under the plea deal, Dunn faces up to 20 years when sentenced on May 9. He also agreed to repay the banks.
