NJ Man Arrested Following Police Chase Through Wall, Ocean Townships: PD

WALL, NJ — An Ocean Township man is in police custody following a chase that began after he was identified as the suspect in an armed robbery and motor vehicle theft, Wall Township Police said.

Anthony Bowe, 44, was arrested on Monday after Ocean Township Police notified the Wall Township Police Department of an armed robbery and stolen vehicle incident that had just occurred at a 7-Eleven in Ocean Township.

The suspect, later identified as Bowe, was believed to be in the Wall Township area, police said.

After being notified of the incident, Wall Township Patrolman Orin McKay was on patrol in the area of Route 138 and Allenwood Road when he saw the stolen vehicle parked in the lot of a local business.

A man matching Bowe’s description was seen outside the vehicle, though as Ptl. McKay tried to make contact, police said the man entered the vehicle and fled the scene.

Wall Township Police then initiated a pursuit, which proceeded east on Route 138 and then north on Route 35 into Ocean Township.

The pursuit ended at the intersection of Deal Road and Logan Road when the suspect was involved in a minor motor vehicle crash, police said.

Ocean Township and Wall Township Police were then able to take Bowe into custody without further incident and bring him to Ocean Township Police Headquarters, where he was processed in connection with the armed robbery and vehicle theft.

Wall Township Patrolman Justin Hudson also charged Bowe with resisting arrest, eluding (resisting arrest by flight), receiving stolen property, obstruction, and multiple motor vehicle violations.

After he was processed, Bowe was brought to a local hospital for evaluation. He will be transferred to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution pending his initial court appearance.

“This is excellent police work by Ocean Township and Wall Township Police Departments in safely getting a violent criminal off the streets,” Chief Sean O’Halloran said.
