Couple Charged in Child Abuse Case that Left Young Boy Dead (2024)

WILDWOOD, NJ – A golf cart accident at the National Night Out event in Wildwood resulted in injuries to five individuals. The incident occurred on Tuesday night at Fox Park, where the event was hosted.

During an impairment simulation course, a golf cart, carrying a juvenile attendee and a Wildwood police officer, veered off the designated path and collided with four adults and another juvenile.

Three of the injured were treated and subsequently released from the hospital, while two others remain hospitalized. Details regarding the nature of their injuries have not been disclosed.

The golf cart simulation, intended to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving, has been a feature of Wildwood’s National Night Out for two decades. Following the accident, the Wildwood Police Department expressed their concern and extended their thoughts and prayers to those affected.

"National Night Out is fundamentally about fostering partnerships between the police and the community," the police statement emphasized. "This tragic incident is particularly disconcerting for everyone involved with the event."

PEMBERTON, NJ – A peculiar incident unfolded on Wednesday morning when State Police Sgt. Jeffrey Lebron reported that troopers detained a man who emerged from the woods along Route 50 near Main Street around 8:55 a.m.

The individual, who initially refused to identify himself, told officers he had just crashed a plane in a nearby field, leading to his arrest for obstruction.

Further investigation revealed the man as 42-year-old Robert Wagner from Point Pleasant. Wagner had been arrested the previous day by Pemberton police, and was suspected of stealing a single-engine Quad City Ultralight aircraft from a local hangar. Sgt. Lebron confirmed that the registration details of the crashed aircraft matched those of the stolen plane, which was taken from a hanger owned by Surran's Nursery.

The bizarre sequence of events continues to unfold as authorities delve deeper into the circ*mstances surrounding the theft and crash.

A Macomb County resident experienced a dramatic turn of fortune when he won a $795,905 jackpot in the Michigan Lottery's Fantasy 5 game, just one night after narrowly missing the jackpot by a single number.

The 53-year-old winner, who has opted to remain anonymous, successfully matched the numbers 02, 05, 17, 21, and 30 in the July 27 drawing. He purchased his lucky ticket online at MichiganLottery.com after realizing he had forgotten to buy one in-store on the night of the draw.

Reflecting on his win, the player said, “I always buy Fantasy 5 tickets if the jackpot is over $250,000. After the drawing, I initially thought I had won just $1 based on an email from the Lottery, but then another notification prompted me to log into my account where I saw $795,905 pending. It felt unreal at first, and I thought it was a scam.”

His victory felt particularly sweet following a close call the previous night, where he had matched four out of five numbers, winning $100 and lamenting his near miss. “I was so close!” he recounted. “I was excited to win $100 but bummed that I was one number off a large jackpot prize. I never could have imagined then that the next night I would actually win the jackpot!”

Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli highlighted the benefits of the online platform, stating, “Our online games provide a convenient way for players to participate, especially when they cannot visit their favorite retailer. Our platform also offers robust responsible gaming tools to ensure that the gambling remains fun and entertaining.”

The lucky winner has already visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize, with plans to invest his winnings.
