Accused K-9 Schultz Killer Indicted on Drug Charges
Skyler J. Robinson, who was accused of killing Gloucester Township Police K-9 Schultz in 2010, now faces unrelated drug charges in Gloucester County.
Trouble keeps coming for Skyler J. Robinson. He was accused in 2010 of killing Gloucester Township Police K-9 Schultz after Robinson and accomplice allegedly robbed a Chinese restaurant and were running from police. While awaiting trial, he was arrested again, this time on drug-distribution charges in August 2012. A Gloucester County grand jury this week indicted Robinson, 22, on the following charges related to that arrest: • One third-degree count of possession of oxycodone; • Two third-degree counts of manufacturing/distributing or dispensing oxycodone in a quantity greater than one ounce. Oxycodone is a powerful narcotic painkiller. Each of the charges in the indictment carries a sentence of three to five years in state prison. An …

Skyler Robinson, 22, was arrested Monday by Gloucester County authorities. He was on that county sheriff's most wanted list for charges unrelated to the K-9's death.
Skyler Robinson’s meeting on a drug rehab program—which will allow him to avoid trial on charges he killed a police K-9—ended with him back in jail Monday. Robinson, 22, was arrested at Superior Court in Camden County by the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Fugitive Unit, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office and the Camden County Sheriff’s Office.

Chief 'Disappointed' by Ruling in K-9 Schultz Case
Gloucester Township Police Chief W. Harry Earle questions a judge's decision to grant Schultz's accused killer a stint in drug rehab.
Gloucester Township police are none too happy a Washington Township man charged with robbing a Blackwood Chinese restaurant and killing a police dog in late November 2010 apparently won't be heading to prison. "I think it's fair to say it's certainly disappointing given the nature of the crime," Police Chief W. Harry Earle said Friday afternoon. The Camden County Prosecutor's Office announced Thursday that Superior Court Judge Thomas Brown granted Skyler Robinson's request to enter drug rehabilitation rather than go to trial and face a prison sentence. Robinson, 22, of Washington Township's Sewell section, was indicted in June 2011 on two counts of injury to law-enforcement animals and single counts of robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery…

Skyler Robinson, 22, goes to drug rehab instead of facing prison time.

Police K-9 Memorial Nears Completion
The memorial was started in the wake of K-9 Schultz's tragic death in November 2010.
A memorial honoring Gloucester Township Police Department K-9s is almost done. The memorial, which is located in Gloucester Township Community Park, just needs some lighting for its flag poles and a few other minor improvements before it is officially dedicated this spring. Money collected through the K-9 Schultz Memorial Fund was used to pay for the new memorial. K-9 Schultz was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 30, 2010, when struck by several cars on Route 42 while attempting to apprehend a suspect in the robbery of a Chinese restaurant on Church Street. "The goal all along was to have a nice memorial, and I think it's worked out," Police Chief W. Harry Earle said on Thursday. "It looks fantastic." The township has also used the …

K-9 Schultz Memorial Almost Finished
Gloucester Township Community Park will host the memorial to the police dog killed in the line of duty.
A memorial to Gloucester Township K-9 dog Schultz, who died in the line of duty, is nearing completion. Landscaping for the Gloucester Township Community Park memorial is nearly complete, according to an Associated Press account, but the area still needs lighting and flagpoles. Schultz was killed Nov. 30, 2010 after attempting to apprehend robbery suspects. One suspect threw the dog into traffic on Route 42. The K-9’s death brought an outpouring of community support. A law named for Schultz assesses harsher penalties for killing a police dog. Schultz also got a marker on Geno’s Steak’s Walk of Honor in Philadelphia. The late Joey Vento, owner of Geno’s, also contributed a hefty sum to a donation fund, which Gloucester Township resident …

The Township Council and Mayor David Mayer on Monday honored the police department's K-9 Unit for its second-place finish in a national competition held in late September.
