Paulsboro Man Wanted in Gloucester County on Warrant

Leroy Dorsey, 35, of Paulsboro, is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office on a warrant. 

He failed to appear in Superior Court in Woodbury on May 9, 2013, for a pre-arraignment interview on a charge of theft by deception, authorities said. 

Dorsey is  5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair. He has tattoo Chinese writing tattooed on his right arm and "Melaney" tattooed on the left side of his neck.

Dorsey's last known address is 421 Thompson Ave., Apt. A, Paulsboro.  

On Dec. 15, 2012, an East Greenwich police officer was dispatched to Iron Butterfly, an antiques and collectibles business on Swedesboro Avenue for a report of stolen checks. The complainant had discovered a cashed check signed by someone he did not know, later identifed as Dorsey. A second check was found to be missing. After further investigation, including the viewing of video from a check-cashing service’s security camera, Dorsey was charged with theft on Jan. 15, 2013.

A Gloucester County grand jury on April 24, 2013 indicted Dorsey on a third-degree charge of theft by deception.

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