Court Hearing for Former Gloucester Twp. Councilwoman Postponed

Crystal Evans was scheduled to appear in Municipal Court in Winslow on Wednesday after being charged late last year with stalking and criminal mischief.

 

Former township Councilwoman Crystal Evans didn't get her day in court Wednesday. 

Her hearing in Winslow Municipal Court was postponed. 

No new date has been set. Court Administrator Janice Fitting was unsure of the reason for the postponement. 

Evans, a Democrat, was arrested in November 2012 on charges alleging she harassed and frightened a township woman throughout 2012.

The case was reviewed at the Superior Court level, due to the initial indictable stalking charge police filed against Evans, but ultimately was remanded to the municipal court level without being presented to a grand jury. 

Evans' case is being heard in Winslow due to the potential for a conflict of interest, given her past role as Gloucester Township councilwoman from 2008 through 2011.

Gloucester Township Police Ptl. Benjamin Lewitt signed single complaints against Evans for stalking and criminal mischief after police were called to investigate an incident on Nov. 7, 2012. 

Evans, 48, turned herself in to police Nov. 8.

The stalking complaint signed by Lewitt alleged Evans "placed several hundred telephone calls to the victim with the purpose to harass and put fear into the victim" in 2012. It also states Evans was seen "on or near the victim's residence unannounced and uninvited."

The criminal mischief complaint claims Evans caused less than $500 in damage to the gutter downspouts to the victim's home.

The complaints identify the victim as Angela Deluca, who reportedly was living with Evans' brother-in-law at the time.

Due to the nature of the incident that led to Crystal Evans' arrest, police were unwilling to divulge a location of the alleged crime.

Anyone know why this was postponed? Did it have anything to do with absent witnesses like in the pay to play petition trial?

Patch, You described her as a Democrat whose charges alleged she harassed this woman Angela. Why the need to post her supposed affiliation to any political party? In actually she is registered a democrat but has publically disassociated herself with the Democrats and in actuality she supports the South Jersey Citizens political organization.

Angela Deluca Failed to Appear and so did the Gloucester Township Cop. The only one who was present was Councilwoman Evans.

Deluca and the Cop who claimed this stuff happened, Never Showed Up that's why it was postponed. Pretty sick

Now what in the world would ever cause anyone to disassociate themselves from the Democratic Party??? I can't imagine how that would happen.

What do you mean about the pay to play petition? What happened to the witness in that trial? Wasn't she just a witness in that trial because of what that guy Tom Crone did mishandling his petitions or was it the other way around? Are you saying she was a witness in that trial?

Reggie you obviously were not present either. Always good to hear from all who appear to be concerned but only go by word of mouth for their info.

Darren, If you read my post, I asked the same question you did. I'm not quite as much as a busy body as you are because you have been posting your venom far longer than I have been posting my opinions on this site. You don't like what I have to say, you don't like my rebuttal, you don't like the fact I call you out when you and your radical buddies post lies about he Mayor and other democrats in G.T., well isn't that just too bad. You finally realized you can't threaten or scare me away. The TRUTH is coming out and all you can do is call names like the childish antagonistic little political group you belong to. I happen to respect the Mayor and leadership of G.T., I like the positive direction they are moving in, I like the fact that they have revived a dying township, so if you don't like it you have three choices, change it, leave it or just sit back and reap the benefits of a Great Place to Live and let the leadership do their job. That includes the Republicans who step up to the plate and work for the greater good of the Twp. Yeah Darren, did you know some of the Republicans actually work with the Dems, across the aisle? Then you have your group of rag tags who want to do nothing but to destroy people and tear down what has been built because you see nothing but glass half empty. Well Darren , name caller in Chief of G.T. see you finally got a title, I have one more thing to say to you.......argo

Wrong Megatron, I'm from Winslow and I support Councilwoman Evans even though she's not in my township. You people have been giving this beautiful sister a lot of heat because she's had the guts to stand up to you good old boys. We got her back. This is all a bunch of BS
That DELUCA was a NO SHOW and neither was that So Called Cop that signed off on the complaint. No Show
The only one there was the Councilwoman, not her accusers, they lied and filed a false report.

Reggie, It never stops amazing me how we all be beautiful so differently. So Reggie tell us how do you "got her back?" You reinforcing the chairs she sits on? Seriously how do you "got her back?" We can see from your posts your not "got her back" by spreading the truth about what appended. Reggie why do you think there was a false police report? Did Crystal tell you that so you blindly believe her? Are you a police officer investigating? Are you talking to witnesses giving you first hand knowledge about this arrest? tell us Reggie how do you "got her back?"

Funny, because if you in fact would have been there with your eyes open, you would have easily been able to identify the police officer from Gloucester Twp. That was there speaking with the prosecutor in full uniform. Again, get your facts straight. I am sure Mr. Evans appreciates the support, however, I can't imagine she wants or needs uneducated support.

Nobody was there but Councilwoman Evans. The other two cowards and liars punked out

Reggie, your information is extremely flawed. I can already tell by your responses above that you are only going to believe what you want. Even if it is 100% wrong.

However, since we are name calling. Please explain how a police officer who risks his or her life everyday is a "coward" like you stated above. I wasn't aware that signing a complaint against a person who violates the law makes a police officer a coward. I though that was a police officers job. Well, either way, I would love to hear your response. I'm sure you will enlighten me and all the other readers on the patch.

I'm 200% correct
100% no show Deluca
100% no show Cop Lewzer
That equals 200% FAILURE TO APPEAR
Read and apply it to your little brain cell megatrouble

You pick and choose comments Lauren. Your part of the political pack

Megatron read my post - Deluca 100% failure to Appear

Cop Lewitt - falsified a complaint and failed to appear 100%

That's 2 failures to appear 200%

Reggie

10:01 am on Friday, March 8, 2013

Postponed due to cop and deluca a Failure to Appear
That means COP LEWITT did not show up in court
That means Angela Deluca did not show up in court
NO SHOWS - maybe you mistaken the cop and Deluca as the invisible man and woman. They were invisible in court

Reggie

10:01 am on Friday, March 8, 2013

Even the invisible cop and his invisible partner in crime Angela Deluca failed to appear Megatron
