Man Accused Of Peering Into Buses At Wall High School: Police

WALL, NJ — Police officers on duty at Wall High School Wednesday arrested a Neptune man, 24, who was peering into school buses around dismissal time, according to police.

On Jan. 10, at approximately 1:45 p.m., Patrolman Josh Wheeler and Sgt. Chris Mason were at the Wall Township High School to monitor the dismissal of students, part of the Police Department’s Safe School Initiative.

That initiative came into play when, while there, the officers saw a man "acting suspiciously by walking around the buses and looking inside the buses prior to students' being dismissed to board the buses," police said.

Officers approached the man to inquire about what he was doing on school grounds and to inquire about his actions.

The man was uncooperative and then fled on foot, police said. But he was apprehended by Wheeler and Mason in the parking lot of the high school and placed under arrest.

The man was identified as Desmond Hill Jr., 24, of Neptune.

Hill was charged with the obstruction of the administration of justice, resisting arrest by flight, disorderly conduct, and defiant trespassing. Hill was processed and released on a summons.

"One of Wall Township Police Department’s paramount initiatives is to provide a safe learning environment for our students and staff at Wall Township’s learning facilities," the department said about the Safe School Initiative.
