Toms River Man Indicted in Threats

Recent grand jury indictments

A Toms River man who told a woman he "stabbed people before" has been indicted by an Ocean County grand jury on three counts of making terroristic threats.

Keith T. Novajovsky of Toms River also was indicted on counts of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon by a convicted person in the Aug. 28 incident in Toms River, according to the indictment.

The indictment says Novajovsky threatened Jennifer Lake with a knife, saying "Don't tempt me, I've stabbed people before." He also threatened Keith Novajovsky and Bernadette Novajovsky, saying he would "get a gun and put a bullet in one of them," according to the indictment.

According to the indictment, Novajovsky was convicted in Monmouth County in June 1990, which disqualifies him from being permitted to own or possess a weapon.

Novajovsky posted $50,000 bail, with no 10 percent option, on Oct. 27, with the bail condition that he have no contact with the victims.

Others recently indicted by the grand jury:

-- Brian K. Funkhouser Jr., Berkeley Township, on a count of making a terroristic threat and a county of unlawful possession of a weapon, in an Oct. 25 incident in Manchester.

Funkhouser is accused of threatening the victim, identified only by the initials A.S., by threatening to kill the victim's father. He also is accused of possessiong a Remington 870 Express shotgun without having obtained a firearm purchaser identifier card.

Funkhouser was charged and released on his own recognizance.

-- Aaron C. Lee of Colts Neck, on two counts of making a terroristic threat, in a Sept. 9 incident in Toms River.

Lee is accused of making two death threats against a victim identified only as M.L.

Lee posted $2,500 cash bail on Sept. 13.

Are you going to let this loser out of jail again? I watched on the news that Russia will not let their children come her to be adopted. How can you blame them? There is more crime in this country then the rest of the planet!

I'm glad you are home. We are still repairing in LBI but, hopefully, we will back by the 4th ofRead More July. This was not our "primary" home but it still was our home. We will never forget Oct. 29, 2012.

This has been one heck of a learning experience and yes, it has exhausted so many of us. The onlyRead More way to keep going really is to take it one day at a time and know if you wake up tomorrow something you never dreamed of is bound to happen.

Quit whining, Fran. You were always just in it for yourself. You wanted to be "CouncilwomanRead More Fran Siddons." Most people saw right through you. You biggest mistake was believing your inflated sense of self.

Why couldn't you just write a classy speech, you chose to look like a sore loser once again. YouRead More listed reasons for losing and you and I both, know you tried to talk to the board workers and the Republican Challenger had to ask you to stop. You stood right outside the doors and tried to talk to voters also, you did this at all the polling places. You had 3 challengers to 1 republican challenger at the polls, so how could all that you say get done. Why didn't they call the election board? Come on Fran, just admit the people DO REMEMBER and that is why you lost.
