Brick police arrested and charged a 33-year-old township resident with bias intimidation as well as weapons offenses after he allegedly became agitated by other customers in a convenience store, then retrieved a knife from his vehicle and slashed their tires while screaming racial epithets.<\/p>\n

According to the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office, Ryan McDonald, 33, of Brick Township, was charged with three counts of bias intimidation, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, and two counts of criminal mischief, in connection with incidents that played out Tuesday around 2 p.m. at the 7-Eleven store on Mantoloking Road.<\/p>\n

Brick police officers were called to the convenience store, initially, for a report of criminal mischief. An investigation by responding officers determined that a male suspect became \u201cagitated with other customers in the store,\u201d a statement said.<\/p>\n

The suspect is alleged to have then left the store, retrieved a knife from his vehicle, and proceeded to stab the tire of a customer\u2019s vehicle. The suspect then allegedly approached the vehicle of a second customer, at which point he utilized the knife to puncture two tires on that vehicle \u2013 all the while employing racial slurs, the statement said.<\/p>\n

An older female and child were located in one of the vehicles at the time.<\/p>\n

The suspect fled the scene after the incident, but investigators soon determined that McDonald was, indeed, the individual responsible for these criminal acts, according to the statement. A short time later, Brick officers located McDonald in the surrounding area, and he was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n

McDonald was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he is presently lodged pending a detention hearing.<\/p>\n
