Brick Man Indicted on Drug Charges

A Drum Point Road man, arrested in Brick for assaulting a police officer in April, has been indicted on charges stemming from a separate incident in Stafford Township.

Robert D. Spinelli, 48, was indicted last week for threatening a woman in Stafford and having marijuana and planning to distribute it there on March 18.

Spinelli was known to have warrants outstanding when Brick Police Patrolman Erik Olsen in which he was riding on April 19, Capt. John Rein said at the time. Spinelli attempted to place the vehicle in reverse, then resisted Olsen's attempts to arrest him, Rein said.
