Berkeley Police Arrest Two Men On Storm-Battered Pelican Island

Both charged with trespassing, possession of CDS

 

Township police recently arrested two brothers who paddled over to Pelican Island on Barnegat Bay by kayak shortly after the Hurricane Sandy, Detective Sgt. James J. Smith said.

Detective Will Cullen found Douglas J. Polle, Jr. 26, Grant Avenue, Pine Beach, and Tyler Polle, 22, Compass Avenue, Beachwood in the backyard of a home on South Sunset Drive at 12:27 p.m. on Oct. 31, he said.

"They told us they were taking pictures for National Geographic," Smith said.

Cullen wasn't buying that. He charged both men with trespassing and possession of marijuana, Smith said.

Police were on Pelican Island that day to look for looters and make certain no other residents needed to be evacuated, Smith said.

"That area of Pelican Island had significant storm damage and a lot of houses were accessible," he said. "We were there to make sure nobody was looting, to evacuate storm victims and anyone else who was in the area."

Ummm Matt is not the idiot,. Alot of people ask questions or voice their before they read the whole story. I didn't read the first draft when the names weren't posted. So I too thought the same thing when I read the revised story and it had the names of the guys. I too thought the same way as Matt.
So PeopleAnnoyMe... You might want to take your own advise...You are annoying us !

Tyler...if you want to defend yourself, try speaking/spelling English words...its always humorous to me that those who claim to be misunderstood always claim that they are following a religious path...just a heads up, nobody buys it...obviously you didn't belong there, your addresses are in Beachwood, and you were arrested on Pelican Island, my question is how did you know there might be a cat there in need of food, and why was it necessary to bring your stash of weed???? Stop talking or whatever it us your trying to do...should have left ya there without the kayak...

Wow... After reading, Well done Berkeley on taking in these young boys... Tyler, the system did everything RIGHT in your situation. Residing in Beachwood, taking kayak to feed cats on 35 and ended up in Pelican Island.. Your story changed from taking pics for National Geographic to feeding cats in need!!! You also stated you have had trouble on past! Lol so please entertain us with where the system went wrong... Oh yea, also admitted to having marijuana on you and being high, so again enlighten us!!!
