Im guessing there is a juvenile correctional facility,or what the liberals would call "a home for troubled youth" at that address considering the nature of the police calls and the details within.Anyone know?

How surprising . . .

Maple Shade owns a home on Royal Oak.

Is this the same U.S. Marshall Joe Abbott? Same Joe Abbott that used to be a WCDC correctional officer? Nah, it couldn't be. If it is, he'll have a job tomorrow with the U.S. Marshalls office and get his hands slapped in court IF it even goes to court. Gotta take care of those boys in blue.

That Joe Abbott was crazy that night. I was there at Station 7. He was out of control.

Get your facts straight idiot. Joe Abbott does not work for the U.S. Marshals. He is an Agent with Immigration & Customs Enforcement. If you bothered to check the Maryland Judiciary page you would see he is being charged and will be held accountable for his actions. On another note he is human and everyone makes mistakes this one does not reflect his true character if you know Joe. He is a dedicated law enforcement professional and an honest man.

I personally know Joe Abbott and know this totally out of his character. He is a hardworking man who unfortunately has made a mistake. Maybe when more info comes out, some of you will understand how this normally conscientious man made such a mistake. Until then, the people who know him believe in his true character and support him.

His judgment was clouded by alcohol and this article does not state all facts. We should not be bashing a man that goes above and beyond everyday he puts on his uniform. If this guy works for ICE that means he is part of the Department of Homeland Security, and that means he is a highly trained Law Enforcement Officer that puts his life on the line everyday to protect us all. It sounds like he made a huge mistake that all of us can all learn from. My guess is he will, and come out an even better Officer. Let’s not put him down, instead we can give him words of support to help him through this, and with that we give something back to this officer that has done so much for us. So Abbott, learn from this, and stay in the fight brother. For we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

Abbott--from one LEO to the other, I've got your back brother! Keep the Line BLUE!

It's so funny how everyone protects this guy. Yes everyone makes mistakes but if this was some random Joe Blow off the street it would be a different story. He made a HUGE mistake and he must pay for his actions. Clouded by alcohol or not he should know his role. Law Enforcement or not he should get punished just like any other person would. I am so tired of everyone making excuses for his actions because he is part of the law.
