Brick Man Charged with Assault for "Head Butting" Co-Worker during Training
It’s safe to say that “head butting” a co-worker will end a training session pretty quickly. It’s even more plausible that you will be asked to leave your work-related training session for being disruptive. A nj.com report discusses the recent arrest of a 26-year-old Brick man who allegedly threatened his fellow co-workers at an auto warranty processing firm training session, “head-butted” one employee, kicked a police officer, and threatened to kill police while on his way to Ocean County Jail. The man has been charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated assault on a police officer and making terroristic threats. He is being held on $100,000 bail.
As this particular case validates, anything an arrested individual says can and will be used against him or her while being prosecuted or sentenced for a crime. Despite any feelings of confusion, frustration, or anger, a person arrested and charged with a crime in New Jersey should remain silent until they have consulted with a Princeton criminal defense attorney. This man’s situation could have been less complex had he not made any statements regarding “killing other police officers.” However, such statements are typically not enough to convict an arrested individual.
Being arrested for an assault offense in New Jersey can present many challenges and complex legal matters to sift through. For anyone accused of such a violent crime, it is of the utmost importance to be familiar with your rights as well as your options for quality legal counsel. If you have been charged with assault, do not let chance determine your future or your case’s outcome. Instead, seek out an experienced New Jersey assault criminal defense attorney who will defend your rights and help get your life back on track.
