Energy Drink Addiction: Thomas Jackson, 50, was nabbed on a shoplifting charge after cops responded to the Dollar General on the 800 block of Prospect Street. A store manager flagged down a TPD sergeant and told him Jackson filled a suitcase full of beverages and left without paying for them. Cops recovered 31 different drinks valued at $110. Among them were Red Bulls and Monster energy drinks. It was the same Dollar General where Kimberly Carmichael was nabbed at in the last week for threatening to stab employees while she loaded up her blue cooler backpack with lifted items. Domestic Violence: Alfred Goodman, 35, was charged with aggravated assault following a domestic flare-up cops responded to March 27. Officers went to Asbury Street where they spoke to a woman bleeding from her mouth and missing a tooth. When she came home, Goodman yelled at her and hit her in the face with his fist, knocking out her tooth. He threw her on the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked her. Before cops got there to break up the commotion, Goodman fled the home. Cops issued a warrant for the arrest of Goodman, who was in custody in Mount Laurel and turned over to TPD on the warrant.
Bad Brothers: Craig Wade, 28, the brother of a man nabbed in a Parkside Avenue beatdown, turned himself into cops this week. He was charged along with his brother, Jaquan Wade, 27, for beating on a woman who cops said was bleeding from her mouth and nose. She was diagnosed at the hospital with a broken nose and a concussion. The woman told cops she had been beaten twice in one day by Jaquan Wade, but she didn’t call the cops the first time.
Falls Township
Meth Head: Cops conducted a drug sting throughout January resulting in the recent arrest of Philadelphia resident Johnny Cooper. Cooper is accused of making multiple trips from the City of Brotherly Love to Bristol Township where he sold heroin, methamphetamine and a handgun with a sawed-off serial number to an undercover officer. Cooper was arrested during a car stop in Philadelphia on March 30. He was arraigned on the drug and weapon charges and sent to Bucks County jail unable to post his $500,000 bail.

Painting an Ugly Picture: Jonathan Conklin, 33, of Maple Shade, was arrested and charged with possessing child pornography and child endangerment. The painter by trade was nabbed by the Burlington prosecutors’ high-tech crime unit, which received intelligence from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children that Conklin had a digital image of a man having intercourse with a pre-pubescent girl. Conklin was arrested at his home after investigators from the prosecutor’s office, the Maple Shade Police, state police, and the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigation searched the home.
