Man Caught Urinating Had $4K Warrant, Police Say

When you gotta go, you gotta go, as the saying goes.

But that old saw is missing a key piece of advice about choosing prudently the time and place, as an Oaklyn man learned first-hand from Collingswood police.

On March 26 around 8:30 p.m., officers on patrol in the area of the Aldi food store saw a man urinating behind the supermarket: Raymond Van Sciver, 54, of Oaklyn—who had to answer for more than just the call of nature, as it turned out.

Not only did police learn that Van Sciver was wanted on a $4,000 warrant, but also that he was carrying four Ziploc baggies containing what they think was heroin, police said.

Van Sciver was charged with possession of a controlled, dangerous substance and was remanded to the Camden County correctional facility.
