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…

Well, that would be totally impossible since many states have abolished the death penalty. New Jersey is one of those states. The death penalty was abolished here in 2007 I believe. Just sayin'. This would never have been a capital punishment case anyway, despite what mine, yours, or anyone else's personal feelings are about the horrid nature of the crime. It would not have met the criteria- even… more ›

My heart still hurts for Cpl. Pickard. Five years is not enough. K9 Schultz in my opinion was a police officer and the punishment should fit the crime. If you kill law enforcement personnel you should get life. I hope these two get the maximum and no deals are made. more ›
