On Nov. 16 Ocean Township police were dispatched to a residence on West Park Avenue for a report of vandalism. The caller reported that an unknown subject had spray painted anti-Semitic messages on the paver wall in front of the home and then fled the area.
Police Officer Kevin Donohoe arrived on scene, observed the vandalism and spoke to the caller who provided him with a video of the incident. Donohoe along with other officers were able to obtain a license plate from the video and identify the suspect as Joseph Antebi, 25, of Eatontown.
Officers responded to Antebi’s residence and observed him leaving in his vehicle. Donohoe attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop, but Antebi refused to stop. A brief motor vehicle pursuit ensued which was terminated in order to ensure the safety of other vehicular traffic in the area. Shortly after the pursuit was terminated, Donohoe observed Antebi in Eatontown where he was placed under arrest after a brief struggle. Antebi was transported to police headquarters where he was charged with bias intimidation, eluding, obstruction, resisting arrest, Criminal mischief and several motor vehicle violations. Antebi was processed and committed to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution pending an initial court appearance.
Other officers involved include Mark Powoski, Matthew Guido, Kyle Kane, Hoover Cano and Sgt. Michael Melody.
