On Thursday, 32 year old Shron Stotts from Egg Harbor Township pleaded guilty to the second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm without a permit, in exchange for a recommended sentence of five years in New
Jersey State Prison, with a forty-two month period of parole ineligibility.
On April 10, 2023, Egg Harbor Township police officers responded to a domestic
violence call. The victim stated that Stotts pointed a handgun in her direction while she
was sitting inside her vehicle. The victim provided law enforcement with a description of
the firearm, namely that the weapon was a gray semi-automatic handgun, equipped
with a purple laser sight.
By the time law enforcement arrived, Stotts had already fled the area. Police located an
article of clothing near the scene which matched Stott’s description. Inside of the
clothing, police located a gray 9mm semi-automatic ghost handgun with a purple laser
sight containing nine rounds of ammunition, including four hollow point rounds. Stotts
does not possess a valid permit to carry any handgun in the State of New Jersey.
