Red Bank Man Indicted on Weapon Charge

Shrewsbury Avenue resident has a conviction on his record of endangering the welfare of a child

Joseph L. Gutridge, 51, of Shrewsbury Avenue was indicted Wednesday after police said he had a handgun when arrested July 25 in the borough. 

Gutridge was convicted in 1985 in Monmouth County of endangering the welfare of a child, which disqualifies him from legally owning a weapon.
