Manahawkin Contractor Who Bilked Sandy Victims for Almost $700,000 Given Five-Year Prison Term

A Stafford Township contractor, who pled guilty to theft by failure to make required disposition last June after stealing nearly $700,000 from victims of Superstorm Sandy, was sentenced to five years in state prison on May 3, according to a statement released by Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.

State Superior Court Judge Guy P. Ryan, who had presided over the case, finally handed down the sentence to Adam Nevius, 49, after Nevius failed to appear in court for his original sentencing on Aug. 25, 2023, the prosecutor’s office said.
