Here's the stories you'll be talking about on the New Jersey 101.5 Morning Show with Eric Scott on Monday:

⬛ Military men save NJ woman from violent carjacking, officials say

🔴 Man crashed his car and tried to steal a passing woman's vehicle, prosecutors said
🔴 Victim was strangled after she refused
🔴 Two good Samaritans saw the attack and intervened

WATERFORD — Two men who are members of the U.S. Army Reserves at Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst are being credited with saving a woman from a violent carjacking.

It happened on Thursday shortly before 8 a.m. along Jackson Road near Waverly Avenue in Waterford, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

The attack left a 59-year-old woman from Lindenwold hospitalized, prosecutors said. As of Friday, she is in stable condition at Virtua Voorhees Hospital.

Rondean McDonald, 45, of Mays Landing, is charged with first-degree carjacking, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree aggravated assault, and fourth-degree criminal mischief.

He was also briefly hospitalized before being taken to the Camden County jail.

⬛ Could the next pope be from New Jersey?

✝️ Newark Cardinal Joseph Tobin's name has been floated as a papal candidate
✝️ He shares liberal views of Pope Francis
✝️ A Rutgers religious professor said its highly unlikely an American will get the vote

As the 135 cardinals gather at the Vatican for the papal conclave the name of Newark Cardinal Joseph Tobin has been mentioned as a potential candidate to succeed the late Pope Francis.

There are no official candidates for the papacy, but some cardinals are considered “papabile.” That means they possess the characteristics necessary to become pope. After St. John Paul II broke the centuries-long Italian hold on the papacy in 1978, the field of contenders has broadened considerably.

When the cardinals enter the Sistine Chapel on May 7 to choose a successor to Pope Francis, they will be looking above all for a holy man who can guide the Catholic Church. Beyond that, they will weigh his administrative and pastoral experience and consider what the church needs today.

However, when white smoke eventually pours out of the Vatican signifying the election of a new pope, it will likely be for someone else, according to Dugan McGinley of the Rutgers Department of Religion at the School of Arts and Sciences in New Brunswick. While he's happy to see Tobin's name being mentioned, he thinks it's unlikely any American will be selected.

⬛ Revealed in court: How largest NJ wildfire in 20 years began

🔥 Two people charged with aggravated arson and arson
🔥 Kling and friend accused of leaving scene of bonfire
🔥Prosecutors said Kling presents a danger to the community

New details about what led to the huge Jones Road Wildfire in Ocean County were revealed during a detention hearing Friday in Ocean County Superior Court for Joseph Kling, the 19-year-old charged with aggravated arson and arson.

On Friday, a 17-year-old was also charged as a juvenile in connection with the fire. Because of the defendant's age, the suspect's identity has not been released to the public.

According to Assistant Prosecutor Gregory Lenzi, Kling was in a wooded area off Jones Road on April 21 when he started a bonfire by using gasoline and a "gasoline soaked item" to light two pallets on fire. Lenzi said while at the bonfire site, Kling learned a friend of his, identified at the detention hearing as JM, crashed his dirt bike into a tree. Before leaving the area to check on JM, Lenzi said Kling and a friend identified at the detention hearing as MG, put six pallets onto the fire and left.

MG and Kling told officials they could see the red embers of the fire still burning as they drove away.

During an interview with Lacey police, JM said that the one thing he remembered from the crash was seeing a pit in the woods filled with "a bunch of pallets." The investigation determined, using cell phone coordinates and Google Maps, that the point of origin for the fire and the pit with the pallets were 82 feet apart.
