🚨After several hours the man was taken into custody

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP (Gloucester) — A Gloucester County neighborhood was on lockdown for several hours Monday afternoon.

Franklin Township police implemented a shelter-in-place around 2 p.m after a man facing charges related to domestic violence and child endangerment earlier in the day refused to come out of a home on Woodland Avenue in Newfield Borough when officers showed up with a warrant.

Refusal to communicate

The county SWAT team came to the home after the man, whose identity was not disclosed, would not communicate with police.

The SWAT team took the man into custody around 7:30 p.m. after finding him hiding in a crawl space.

Police also did not disclose details about the incident that led to the initial charges.

Weird things NJ taxes - and some they don't

In general, New Jersey assesses a 6.625% Sales Tax on sales of most tangible personal property, specified digital products, and certain services unless specifically exempt under New Jersey law.

However, the way the sales tax is applied in New Jersey sometimes just doesn't make sense.

New Jersey puts out an itemized list for retailers that spells out what is, and what is not, taxed.

Perhaps because this is New Jersey, there are some bizarre and seemingly contradictory listings.
