Resident Indicted on Gun, Resisting Arrest Charges

A Brick man is accused of possessing an unlicensed gun as well as cocaine, according to an indictment handed up last week by an Ocean County grand jury.

Andrew Applewhite of Sawmill Road was arrested in the township on April 24 and accused of carrying a .38-caliber revolver without a permit. Police also said Applewhite had cocaine on him when arrested.

The grand jury upheld a third charge, resisting arrest, after police accused him of trying to prevent Sgt. John Talty and Patrolman Larry Petrola from completing their arrest by "using or threatening to use physical force or violence."

Applewhite was initially held in Ocean County Jail but posted $75,000 bail Oct. 11.

Grand juries also indicted:

• Steven Jean-Louis of Hooper Avenue on charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest. 

Jean-Louis allegedly resisted Seaside Heights Patrolman Timothy Geoghegan's attempts to arrest him on Sept. 18, the indictment states. He also assaulted the officer, police charge.

Jean-Louis posted $2,000 bail on Sept. 18.

• Daniel J. Wilkowski of Larson Street on a charge of possessing methadone July 28 in the township.

Wilkowski was released on a summons.
