Where'd He Go? Fugitive Who Ran Into Woods Still Sought In Toms River

More than a week after a Manchester man ran off into the woods while Toms River police were conducting a drug investigation during a motor vehicle stop, authorities are still searching for him.

“He’s still wanted,” Toms River Police Department spokesman Ralph Stocco said of Jeffrey Livingston, the 22-year-old who ran from the vehicle during the stop on Nov. 3 along Washington Street.

Livingston, of Edinburgh Lane, who is 6-foot-4 and weighs about 180 pounds, was wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts when he ran into a wooded area near Washington Street and Whittier Avenue, police said.

Livingston’s disappearance prompted police to search with K-9 units from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department as well as with assistance of a New Jersey State Police helicopter. But authorities were unable to locate him, Stocco said.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urge to call the Toms River Police Department at 732-349-0150 or go to the department’s Facebook page and sent a private message to submit a tip.
