MOUNT HOLLY, NJ.- On Monday, July 26, 2021, Burlington County Scott A. Coffina announced that a Grand Jury sitting in Burlington County, New Jersey has returned an indictment against two men for shooting at the Patrol Vehicle of a Pemberton Township Police Officer seven years ago in The Sunbury Village Section of Pemberton Township, New Jersey.
Tayron Brown, 24, of Trenton, was indicted on charges of First Degree Attempted Murder, First Degree Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Second Degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, Second Degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon and Third Degree Aggravated Assault.
Brown’s co-defendant, Kavon Carter, 23, of Pemberton Township, was indicted on charges of Second Degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose and Third Degree Aggravated Assault.
The indictment was returned July 16 and signed by Prosecutor Coffina. An arraignment will be held soon in Superior Court. Brown is presently incarcerated in New Jersey state prison, and Carter is in the Burlington County Jail, both for unrelated offenses.
Brown and Carter were initially charged in September 2019, however the opportunity to seek an indictment was delayed because grand juries were not convened during the pandemic.
The investigation revealed that an officer was parked along Lemmon Avenue on September 24, 2014, when a bullet fired in his direction struck the roof of the marked patrol vehicle, approximately six inches above the officer’s head.
The investigation was conducted by the Prosecutor’s Office and the Pemberton Township Police Department. Brown and Carter are being prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor Mike Angermeier, supervisor of the BCPO Gang, Gun and Narcotics Task Force.
" The Rules Of The Court Require Us To Include A Statement, Which States: The Charges Are Merely Accusations And The Defendant And Or Defendants Are Presumed Innocent Unless And Until Proven Guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt."
