Ex-con shoots cop point blank, was released 5 days earlier FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform

Nov 14, 2017 | Criminal Justice System, New Jersey |

“Camden County Police Chief J. Scott Thomson described the man charged with shooting an officer in the thigh Wednesday night as a 19-year-old Crips gang member with a lengthy adult arrest record despite the fact that he only turned 18 a year and a half ago. Delronn Mahan, of Lindenwold, is being held at the Camden County Jail on charges including attempted murder, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office. ‘He’s a bad guy,’ Thomson said of Mahan, whom he said had previously been arrested on drug charges in the same neighborhood where the shooting occurred. ‘In that short period of time of being an adult he has three felony convictions… Last night I think was his 10th arrest since he’s 18 years old.’ Thomson told reporters in a press conference Wednesday that the officer who was shot at point blank range, Patrick O’Hanlon, is stable and recovering from the wound. The bullet went through his upper right thigh… O’Hanlon was shot after approaching a group of three ‘suspicious’ men in the area of 8th Street and Chelton Avenue shortly after 10 p.m. Wednesday night, Thomson said. Mahan fled and O’Hanlon gave chase, at which point Mahan pulled out a gun. They struggled for the weapon, Thomson said, and the officer was shot. The gun apparently jammed after that shot, which Thomson said was fortunate because Mahan then tried unsuccessfully to shoot O’Hanlon in the face… Mahan is charged with attempted murder, resisting arrest, two counts of aggravated assault, and three weapons charges, according to the prosecutor’s office… Court records show Mahan is currently on probation after being convicted of charges including drug distribution, burglary and receiving stolen property over the last year.”
