Gibbstown Man Wanted on Warrant

A Gibbstown man is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office after he didn’t show up for a court date on shoplifting and heroin charges.

James D. Prout, 33, of Harmony Road, Gibbstown, was due in Superior Court in Woodbury on June 19 for a pre-arraignment interview. Authorities say he didn’t appear.

Prout is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. He has brown eyes and hair, a tattoo of three female faces on his left arm and a tattoo on his right wrist.

The original charges stem from a Feb. 23 arrest. Security at Macy’s in the Deptford Mall took custody of Prout after they suspected him of shoplifting. While officers were searching Prout, they reportedly found eight bags of suspected heroin.

A Gloucester County grand jury indicted Prout on June 5 of third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance and fourth-degree shoplifting.

Anyone who knows Prout’s whereabouts should not attempt to apprehend him. Instead, contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office at 856-384-5643 or GCPO Sgt. Barry Johnson at 856-498-5485.
