Terroristic Threats During a State of Emergency, N.J.S.A. 2c:12-3

Did you know the Attorney General of New Jersey upped the ante for the state’s COVID-19 Coronavirus crackdown? Indeed, Gurbir Grewal has singled out six individuals for coronavirus threats to cops. And his office has charged four with Second Degree Terroristic Threats During a State of Emergency pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2c:12-3. Among them, a woman in Belleville. But a report from NJ dot com offers scant detail on what brought police into contact with this alleged offender. Instead, it begins with the conclusory opinion that she would likely only have faced charges for shoplifting, obstruction and resisting arrest. And seemingly for good measure the report throws in additional charges of aggravated assault on an officer, two counts of throwing bodily fluid at an officer, and terroristic threats during a state of emergency.

Kidnapping, N.J.S.A. 2c:13-1

New Jersey State Police recently charged three people for an alleged kidnapping and robbery, per social media. And it all began last December in Cumberland County.

Bias Intimidation, N.J.S.A. 2c:16-1

Gunfire at a Jersey City kosher market recently left a police officer, two suspects, and three bystanders dead. Subsequently, the investigation revealed alleged online hate as the drifters’ motive.

After opening fire at the market, the pair held off armed police and federal officials for four hours with hundreds of rounds of ammunition, per the news.

Additionally, less than a week later, a Jersey City man allegedly threatened to “bomb all of the Jews” there. He made the alleged threats during a phone call with a welfare worker.

Lakewood cops charged a New Jersey man with invasion of privacy, stalking, and three counts of burglary, per the news. Arguably this means police have reason to believe the defendant committed burglary three times and the other offenses one time. Indeed, app dot com reported, “On three separate occasions, [the defendant] illegally entered the victim’s residence,” quoting a Lakewood police lieutenant.

But Internet news narratives only report two discreet occasions related to burglary. To begin, police claim the man broke into the married woman’s bathroom and installed a camera facing the shower. Accordingly, this appears to be the basis for one count of burglary. Read More
