El fiscal del condado de Ocean, Bradley D.. Billhimer anunció que en octubre 24, 2023, Ryan McDonald, 33, del municipio de ladrillo, fue acusado de tres cargos de intimidación parcial, Posesión de un arma para un fin ilícito, Posesión ilegal de un arma, and two counts of Criminal Mischief, in connection with incidents that occurred in Brick Township on October 24, 2023.
En octubre 24, 2023, aproximadamente a 2:00 pm., Officers from the Brick Township Police Department were summoned to the 7-11 convenience store located on Mantoloking Road for a report of criminal mischief. An investigation by responding Officers determined that a male suspect became agitated with other customers in the store. The suspect subsequently left the store, retrieved a knife from his motor vehicle, and proceeded to stab the tire of a customer’s vehicle. The suspect then approached the vehicle of a second customer, at which point he utilized the knife to puncture two tires on that vehicle – all the while employing racial slurs. An older female and child were located in the vehicle at the time. The suspect thereafter fled the scene. Further investigation revealed that McDonald was, indeed, the individual responsible for these criminal acts.
Un corto tiempo después, Brick Township Police Officers located McDonald in the surrounding area, y fue detenido sin incidentes. McDonald was transported to the Ocean County Jail, donde se encuentra actualmente en espera de una audiencia de detención.
Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledges the Brick Township Police Department and Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Bias Crime Unit for their collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation.
Los cargos mencionados anteriormente son meras acusaciones y se recuerda a la prensa y al público que todos los acusados se presumen inocentes a menos y hasta que se demuestre su culpabilidad más allá de toda duda razonable en un tribunal de justicia..
