NJ Murder Suspect Arrested In Jackson Township

November 9, 2009

A suspect wanted in Essex County for a October 17 Murder/Homicide was arrested last week at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. The arrest was the result of a joint investigation by the Orange and Jackson Police departments.

Investigators in Essex County contacted Jackson Township police on October 30 with a report that Antoine Williams, a twenty-two year old man from Essex County, was inside the Great Adventure theme park in Jackson Township on Rt. 537 in Ocean County.

Jackson police then proceeded to the theme park and located the vehicle Williams was associated with. Police then disabled the vehicle and apprehended Williams when he returned to it. The suspect was then arrested without incident by members of the New Jersey State Police SWAT team, Orange Police, and Jackson Police Department.

It is unclear where Williams has been taken or whether he was retained a New Jersey criminal defense attorney.
