New Jersey ? The former mayor of Stafford was ordered jailed until he finds a contractor to demolish the last of four decrepit boats from a residential lagoon.

Wesley Bell remained in the Ocean County jail Saturday, according to a jail official.

The day before, Judge John A. Peterson told the 69-year-old former mayor that he would stay in jail until he produced a signed agreement with a contractor to raise and demolish the MaBell, a 60-foot, wooden-hulled former lobster boat.

As Bell was taken to the jail in handcuffs, he promised that he’d replace the MaBell with another boat and that area residents would have to “live with it.”
