A bloodstained wallet left at a robbery scene in Lawnside on Sunday helped lead authorities to a 17-year-old boy charged in the baseball-bat beating and holdup of a pizza deliveryman, according to Camden County authorities.
County prosecutors told a judge Friday that the wallet, with the defendant's pay stub inside, was covered with blood. They said that the order from a Pizza Hut in Magnolia was traced to a phone belonging to the Somerdale boy's foster mother, and that when the boy was arrested his clothes appeared to be stained by blood.
The 18-year-old victim, from Sicklerville, suffered severe head injuries and partial paralysis in the robbery. Prosecutors are seeking to move the juvenile's case to adult court. He has not yet entered a plea.
