On November 2, 2017, Lakehurst Police Sgt. Matthew Kline and OCPO Special Victims Unit Det. Stephanie Bayha arrested and charged Mark Coleman, 25, of Lakehurst with Sexual Assault, Aggravated Assault and Terroristic Threat.

The arrest stems from a 911 call, Tuesday (10/31), from a 23-year-old female victim reporting that Coleman physically and sexually assaulted her, as well as, threatened to kill her.

The partnering detectives completed their investigation and presented the facts of the case to OCPO Assistant Prosecutor Mara Brater who approved the above charges.  The defendant was located at his residence on Orchard Street mid-day yesterday and placed under arrest.  After processing, he was remanded to the Ocean County Jail pending his detention hearing.
