Police: Lacey Burglar Pried Open Bathroom Window to Forked River Home

Christopher Jones, 25, was arrested on Feb. 14

A Forked River man was arrested for his alleged connection to a recent burglary.

Detectives Brian Flynn and Robert Surtees arrested Christopher Jones, 25, on Feb. 14.

Police responded to the report of a burglary that took place on Feb. 10 at an Annapolis Lane, Forked River home. More than $1,300 in jewelry and other items was stolen.

Jones allegedly pried the bathroom window open before entering the home during a brief period when the residents were not home, police said.

Detectives utilized forensic evidence collected at the scene along with other evidence to identify Jones.

He was arrested after he was located by police sleeping in his vehicle in the driveway of his Lacey home.

Jones was charged with burglary and theft. He was transported to the Ocean County Correctional Facility with bail set at $25,000.

Overpayed liberial judges , who don't pay into the NJ Pension fund as that's the old rule's they were hired under...and the trough they feed from , they let 'em out so they can see them again and again ...so they ARE needed....see we need you ! Revolving door justice in the USA , top country to develope the justice system, build more jails...it's a business , send us your crimminals , we will house them, feed them and give them medical coverage..but YOU Vets..see what you get from your country's VA system..red tape and a hard time...every time...Hurryup and wait !

Liberal judges? What are you talking about, OC is as Red as it gets and as I recall, it's those self same red zoners in congress who want to slash vet benes. Wow. The GOP loves the new corporate prison model, and want to turn our schools into the same structure. It's all about public financing and private profit for them.
kazoome February 18, 2013 at 04:00 pm
also the jail are so overcrowded that they dont have room for the petty criminals......almost every state is going thru the same problem
Robert Yates February 18, 2013 at 04:22 pm
@Abby Normal: "It's all about public financing and private profit for them". This is a true statement in many instances, but it is just as true for the Democrats. I am forced to subsidize public schools even though I will never use them. There is no substantial difference between the two parties. They just pick different parts of the Constitution to violate. And both parties love bailing out Wall Street (privatizing profits; socializing losses) and bombing foreign countries, so you're picking your poison either way!
Like I have said before, the land of the free and home of the brave imprisons more people (both per capita and in absolute terms) than any other nation on earth. Our laws are the problem. We have way too many of them, though the one's allegedly violated here are essential to the operation of a free country.

Boy hes a real cutie huh. Put him away please.
For a long time thanks. I have ZERO sympathy for people who do this stuff. Drugs and theft from others.
mary ann February 18, 2013 at 05:29 pm
Could not have said it any better than Robert Yates. Thank you for such an accurate statement.

Robert Yates
let me quote a famous ex pol in Lacey "where are you from boy?" you could always move to a third world country like texas
Robert Yates February 18, 2013 at 08:02 pm
@mary ann: thanks for the kind words.
@FRP: perhaps if I were independently wealthy, I would move (myself and my whole family) to a nice little spread along the Snake River at the base of the Grand Tetons in WY. But I am not, so I can't. I can however enjoy the smaller pleasures of life by riling a state worshiping piney from FR.

Randy Butternubs February 19, 2013 at 02:40 am
if there is not enough room in our prisons for people like him, maybe jail should be allowed to be a little more unpleasant so they will try a little harder not to go there.
Then after he has done his time he can go live at Jake's house
JAKE 2 February 19, 2013 at 03:00 pm
haha , another one who know s nothing about addiction... but thats ok...there is ignorance everywhere !!! jail wont do it, your right !!!! is he an addict ? yes he is , thats why he is stealing.... definilty doesnt make it right.... not one bit !!!! but unless you know what addiction to this crap does to your brain.... your right in what your saying... so do alot of others including myself... but i do know alot about addiction so im not saying that anymore,,,,,,it can change anyone into a monster and someone you may not know anymore !!! and like i said ... he can not live in LACEY TOWNSHIP ANYMORE !!! so my house is out .... lol
tr February 19, 2013 at 09:50 pm
Place his picture on a wall of shame over the prescription drop box at the police station for all to see. Then the local judge should order him to do community service by being ordered to be placed in STOCKS in front of town hall for the next 10 weekends from sunup to sundown. Jail just provides a place to sleep and eat during the winter when no one else will give you a bed. That is why they call it "Hooper Hotel". Public disgrace may force him to hit HIS bottom before he takes his own life by suicide or drug use.
DevilsFan609 February 20, 2013 at 01:02 am
Im so sick of everyone making it seem like these addicts are the victims because of their "disease." Nobody put the pill in the mouth or the needle in their arm the first time they did it. I understand addiction and have dealt with it with friends. Its not something I feel sympathy towards. These people made their beds and now have to lay in it. I shouldnt worry about leaving my wife alone because some crackhead might break in. Addicts did this to themselves, they werent born addicts.
wookfish February 21, 2013 at 07:24 pm
wah,wah,wah...tough s..t.
JAKE 2 February 22, 2013 at 01:31 am
your all clueless... i probaly felt like all of you at one time !!!! and no they were not born addicts ... nope not at all.... but by bad choices and being uneducated in the area of addiction , im sure they never dreamed this would be the life they would be living ! and im sure it is a heartache for his family.
Kristen Lee Marcus February 22, 2013 at 01:51 am
I think Jake is high right now, not making much sense, in this day and age we have been educated to death about addiction, most addicts have a co occurring mental illnesses and we need to take the stigma away from that too, and we need to get to the deeper root, this new wave of rx addiction, greed! The big pharmaceutical CEO s are not addicts
JOHNNY Done it February 24, 2013 at 01:33 am
Lets blaming or pitty the individual made the choice to do drugs , wasn't born an addict..He made the choice to illegally break into someones home..The only thing he has going for him ,He is still breathing & mommy didn't have to identify him by his dental records . These guys are going to break into the wrong house.

Do new maps have FEMA's WHALIS modeling applied. Those preliminary maps didn't. Modeling willRead More affect final Base Flood Elevations(BFE)
proud June 11, 2013 at 10:15 am
It's WHAFIS, not WHALIS, and it MUST be incorporated in the overland wave propagation modeling. I'veRead More been telling you this for weeks @Spooner. I offered to discuss it, but you were caught up on some sand blaster theory. BFE's will certainly be affected. As a sidebar, the author of the link mentioned mixed up the mapping terms. We currently have effective maps or FIRM's which establish BFE. The maps (ABFE)that were released in December and adopted as the state building code (+ freeboard) are advisory (incomplete and wrong). Working maps are due out in a few weeks followed shortly thereafter by preliminary maps, which are the maps that can be appealed. Approximately 18 to 24 months after the release of the preliminary maps there will be new effective maps (new FIRM's) with new BFE 's. If the preliminary maps are not drastically different than the ABFE's, you can count on a mass of appeals, and quite likely, protracted litigations.

@Spooner, I have something that you may want to read. Go to the Borough of Mantoloking website. OnRead More the right hand side is a column entitled Post Sandy Information. Near the bottom is a tab called "uncategorized". Click on it and there is a letter used as the Boro response to ABFE. It is very telling and makes a lot of sense.

Stop being a jerk...JP, Rude One etc. aren't around anymore...your club is a farce and is dying...you certainly do noting for anyone unless they agree with your view of the world...sickening...
GB Shore April 24, 2013 at 04:58 pm
It's pretty clear this person is aligned with or part of the Republican Club in town. They don'tRead More like it that there are Reps' in town who don't like what the "official" Republican Club stands for. Too bad !!!!! As it is, I became an Independent because I could not stand having my name affiliated with these classless individuals anymore, or to have anyone think I support or align with their "chosen" candidates. they are an embarrassment. They can't think for themselves and they can't have a civil debate of ideas....this was instilled for years by JP....since he's not around any longer, they are trying to uphold this pitiful positioning about what it means to run and be a civil servant. Quite sad for that matter... BTW, I spoke in person with Greg....he's a fine person and a Police Officer. CERTAINLY more class in his pinky than Resident of Lacey and his ilk.
Kim May 12, 2013 at 05:30 pm
They are definitely here to stay and our efforts at getting rid of them are ill-conceived. We canRead More move them from one place to another, if absolutely necessary. Where I live in Scarsdale NY, Geesebusters got rid of the geese from the library pond. The pond is now devoid of waterfowl but loaded with turtles for some reason. Pretty soon people will be complaining about salmonella, calling them an "invasive species" or some other ridiculous argument. In my town, egg-oiling was done to keep the population in check, and if this annual process is done in every community (takes about a day or two once per year), the whole issue can be put in perspective and costs nothing. People really need to get over this irrational irritation with geese.
proud May 12, 2013 at 05:47 pm
Not only that, the rhythm method does not work.
proud May 12, 2013 at 05:58 pm
The Canada Goose--not Canadaian Goose-- or Canada Geese in the plural form ( and of which there areRead More several sub species) is native to North America and can be found in Canada, the USA and Mexico,as well as Europe and even as far away as China. Canada, as we know it today, was under British rule from 1763 ( the treaty of Paris) until 1867 when it became it's own dominion. Prior to that it was largely populated by the French which ceded most of it's North American Colonies after the Seven Years' War. Preceding the arrival of the Colonial Eurpeans, modern day Canada and been inhabited by distinct groups of Aboriginal civilizations for centuries dating back to the arrival of the Paleo-Indians. For what it is worth, Native American Goose would be much more fitting identification than Canada Goose. That being said, the geese are here to stay.I don't care how many kites you fly or how many dogs are being supported by the Lacey Township Board of Education. With the apparent distaste of the Natural Gas Industry by various federal administrations, I would support technology that would convert goose droppings to an energy producing fuel. Supply and demand would support this outside the box thinking. Go Green!

at this time you do NOT need to worry about the comp sales or whatever reduction you are asking forRead More - just leave it blank on the form. Just complete the portion that is applicable to your current situation. Your comps and requested valuation is needed 7days before your appeal hearing.. You will need to provide that information to the county, town tax assessor and clerk. Write the information as a letter and hand deliver - get them to date stamp your copy. When you are researching comps go to the property tax web site (listed below) to see the data on the lot size, house size and MOST importantly - NON USE CODE. There are about 30 variations. Use sales that are dated 10/2011 to 10/2012. If you use a appraiser- it cant be a bank apprasial and the appraiser MUST be present at the hearing. Lastly - you can not make any statments on $ VALUATION - you are not qualified.. so dont bother to try to add or reduce value for anything different on your comps. Your town tax collector and town atty will not allow it at the hearing. http://www.njactb.org/
