\"\"<\/a>A 38-year-old man surrendered Oct. 3 after a five-and-a-half-hour standoff with police in Tinton Falls.<\/p>\n

The man barricaded himself inside his former residence, causing damage, and refused to vacate, prompting a response for the Monmouth County Emergency Response Team, said Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.<\/p>\n

Steven Greene, 38, formerly of 58 Society Hill Way in Tinton Falls, is charged with second degree burglary, third degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, third degree criminal mischief, fourth degree unlawful possession of a weapon, and two counts of fourth degree contempt.<\/p>\n

Greene is currently being held in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in Freehold Township pending his first appearance before a Superior Court judge.<\/p>\n

Tinton Falls police responded to a 911 call reporting the man was inside his former residence the evening of Oct. 3 armed with a hammer and causing damage to the inside of the home. A request for assistance was made for MOCERT and other countywide law enforcement agencies. A nearby school was placed in a \u2018shelter in place\u2019 status as part of a temporary lockdown in the area as a precaution, while law enforcement attempted to resolve the situation peacefully.<\/p>\n

Greene peacefully surrendered at approximately 7:29 p.m., but not before causing damage to the inside of the property.<\/p>\n

If convicted of Burglary, Greene faces a sentence of five to ten years in a New Jersey state prison.\u00a0 If convicted of the third degree offenses, he faces a sentence of three to five years in prison on each count.\u00a0 The fourth degree charges carry a maximum sentence of up to 18 months in state prison, if convicted.<\/p>\n

The case is assigned to Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Kristen Anastos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
