CALIFORNIA MAN AND WOMAN PLEAD GUILTY TO BURGLARY

Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that on June 15, 2026, Jaheim Wilson, 24, and Oleyah Brown, 22, both of Stockton, California, pled guilty before the Honorable Guy P. Ryan, P.J.Cr.P., to Burglary in connection with an incident that occurred in Point Pleasant Borough on August 7, 2025.  At the time of their sentencing on August 28, 2026, the State will be seeking a term of seven years New Jersey State Prison (NJSP) relative to each defendant – subject to the terms of the No Early Release Act.  Additionally, Wilson pled guilty to Unlawful Possession of a Weapon in connection with the same incident.  At the time of his sentencing, the State will seek a term of five years NJSP with a 42-month period of parole ineligibility, which will run concurrently with Wilson’s sentence on the Burglary charge.

 

On August 7, 2025, at approximately 1:38 p.m., Officers from the Point Pleasant Borough Police Department were summoned to a residence on Barton Avenue for a report of a home invasion with a gunshot having been fired.  Responding Officers found that the rear door to the residence had been forced open and that the residence had been burglarized.  An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit and Point Pleasant Borough Police Department revealed that a male – who possessed a handgun – and a female kicked open the rear door of the residence while the occupant was present in the home.  The pair then burglarized the residence, taking personal property belonging to the occupant.  The male then fired a single gunshot into the air, and both he and the female fled the scene.  Further investigation led to the identification of Wilson and Brown as the individuals who burglarized the residence.

 

On August 7, 2025, Ocean Prosecutor’s Office Detectives located Wilson and Brown in Toms River, and they were taken into custody without incident.  Wilson and Brown were transported to the Ocean County Jail where they have been detained since that date.

 

Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledges the diligent efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Mara Brater who is handling the case on behalf of the State and commends the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, Point Pleasant Borough Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, for their collaborative assistance in connection with this investigation.
