A Point Pleasant Beach man who works as a teacher in Neptune Township has been charged with the possession of an illegal weapon – a knife – prosecutors in Monmouth County announced Thursday.

Kevin J. Hasbrouck, 36, has been charged with a single count of a fourth-degree weapons offense after being found to be in possession of a knife, according to a statement from the office. On Feb. 3, 2026 a member of the Neptune Township Police Department responded to Neptune Middle School for a “report of a weapons investigation.” The investigation is alleged to have revealed a large stainless-steel knife with a black handle located within a desk drawer belonging to Hasbrouck.

Authorities did not release additional information as to why the knife may have been brought to school or how officers became involved.
