Long Branch Man Indicted In Threats To Kill Red Bank Police, Prosecutor Says

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ -- A Long Branch man has been indicted on charges he threatened to kill Red Bank police officers who were trying to arrest him on an active child support warrant, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

Lamar T. Hicks, 31, of North Fifth Avenue, Long Branch, was indicted on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and terroristic threats in an Oct. 12 incident in Red Bank, according to the indictment.

In the criminal complaint, Hicks was accused of throwing punches when the officers try to arrest him, and then threatening them, saying, "You're lucky I'm not strapped right now," "I gang bang" and "I know where you all live."

Hicks, who was arrested in July 2012 in connection with arson and a stabbing during a pair of robberies, remains in the Monmouth County Correctional Institute, Freehold Township, in lieu of $90,000 bail, where he has been held since his arrest in the October incident.

Other indictments, dated March 15 and handed up by a Monmouth County grand jury sitting in Freehold Township that were released late last week by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, include the following incident involving Red Bank residents:

Matthew Hendricks, 32, of Rutledge Drive, Red Bank; Christopher Hartman, 30, of Fairview Drive, Middletown; Dana Bostick, 35, of Field Avenue, South Plainfield; Taylor Hendricks, 28, of Rutledge Drive, Red Bank; and Wendy Hendricks, 64, of Rutledge Drive, Red Bank, were indicted on charges of possession of heroin, possession of acetyl fentanyl, possession of cocaine and possession of alprazolam and/or suboxone in an Oct. 16 incident in Middletown.
