Yesterday in Belmar Municipal Court, an innocent Jersey Shore town sought justice against a man who spent the summer bedding their women and eating their bagels, simply because he made them believe that he was Yankee phenom pitcher Joba Chamberlain. 30-year-old Ryan Ward has been charged with "theft by deception" after he swindled free food out of the Belmar Bagel Cafe last summer. Ward opened a newspaper to the sports section and pointed at "his picture," while asking female workers, "Do you know who I am?" He then autographed the newspaper, which owner Don Weston considered framing. (Ward has since returned to the cafe and paid for his free bagels and coffee).
