Shoplifting, drug charges filed in Stafford

Thanksgiving weekend in Stafford Township leaves at least two men from out of town with very little spirit of the season.

Garcia Bonifacio, 31, of West Creek, was booked on a shoplifting charge November 27 after a Black Friday run-in with police at Kohl's.

Police responded to a report from the store at about 4 PM. They charged Bonifacio with attempting to palm jewelry worth about $400. Officers said he also had a small amount of marijuana and drug-related items.

The next night, at 11:23 PM, James Turner, 20, of Philadelphia was arrested on marijuana- and drug paraphernalia-possession counts at an Exxon station on Route 72.

Authorities said the charge relates to possession of under 50 grams.

Both were processed and released to await municipal court dates.
