A South Jersey man was arrested Tuesday after police say he was “fighting with himself” and exposed his genitals in a Little Egg Harbor Township Wawa. Police say they were called to the Mystic Islands Wawa at 9 p.m. Tuesday for a male acting suspiciously.

Witnesses say 37-year-old Jason Cramer was under the influence of something. After speaking with him, Cramer was sent on his way and said he had made arrangements for transportation home.

About 15 minutes later, police were called back to the Wawa after witnesses say Cramer began “fighting with himself” out front of the store, reportedly punching himself in the face and scratching his eyes.

A Florida teacher faces misdemeanor battery charges over allegations she bit two students over a jar of pickles.

The teacher, Rhonda Rice, told school administrators she was “playing around with students,” according to a Polk County Public Schools spokesperson.

“I think she needs to learn what she did and what she did was wrong,” said Kathy Toro, who said months passed without any action taken.

Toro’s 15-year old nephew is a student at Bartow Middle School. She said in October, he and another student were working at the school store when Rice tried to take a jar of pickles.

Her nephew and another student tried to take the jar back.

“She just bit them on the forearm and, of course, they released and she was able to get the pickles, but there’s other ways to do that,” said Toro.

The students reported the behavior to school administrators, who contacted Toro.

Toro went to Bartow police to press charges in November. According to an affidavit filed by Bartow police, Rice admitted to licking the students.

“Even if it was and she did lick him, but I don’t believe she did, it’s still not acceptable to me,” said Toro.

Bartow police and the state attorney’s office have filed two misdemeanor battery charges against Rice. She is set to be arraigned on March 31.

In the meantime, she is no longer working at Bartow Middle School. She was placed on paid administrative leave pending a review.

East Pennsboro Township Police have arrested a man they said was allegedly purchasing and selling human remains on Facebook.

According to police, on June 14, 2022, officers received a call for an Enola man allegedly buying body parts on Facebook.

Police say they spoke with 40-year-old Jeremy Pauley who said he was a collector of “oddities” and that he had three full skeletons and approximately 15-20 human skulls. Police say these items were “very old and came from a legitimate purchase.”

On July 8, police received a call from someone who found five buckets of human organs and skin in a basement. East Pennsboro Police Detectives, Cumberland County Forensics, and the Cumberland County Coroners’ office executed a search warrant on the residence and found 3-5 gallon buckets containing various human remains.

According to court records, the buckets contained two human brains, skin, a heart, kidney, spleen, fat, skull with hair, two livers, six pieces of skin/fat, a trachea, a child mandible with teeth, and two lungs.

Further investigation found that Pauley was allegedly buying human remains via Facebook Messenger from a woman in Arkansas. Police say Pauley bought $4,000 worth of body parts consisting of half a head, a whole head minus the skull cap, three brains with skull cap, one heart, one liver, one lung, two kidneys, one full female pelvis, one piece of skin with a nipple, and four hands.


Police determined the items were shipped via the United States Postal Service from Arkansas. An investigation by FBI Arkansas and Arkansas State Police shows a woman, identified in court records as Candace Scott, was allegedly stealing body parts from a mortuary in Arkansas that were the property of the University of Arkansas. Pennsylvania court records did not say whether the woman was charged.

East Pennsboro Police and an agent from FBI Harrisburg interviewed Pauley who, according to the affidavit, admitted to purchasing two shipments of body parts from Scott in Arkansas. Police say Pauley admitted he was selling those body parts to people for monetary gain.

Human remains were also located in Scranton, according to East Pennsboro Township Police. Court documents have also identified a Bloomsburg address for Pauley.

Pauley was arrested and released on $50,000 bail on charges of felony Dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities, felony receiving stolen property, misdemeanor receiving stolen property, and misdemeanor abuse of a corpse.
