Police searching for "armed and dangerous" man on an "adult tricycle".

Does not say why they consider him dangerous.

I wonder if it's related to this arrest yesterday in that area:

....." LITTLE EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — A Little Egg Harbor man who is a registered sex offender has been arrested on charges he convinced another child to send him sexually explicit images, including images of the victim's genitals, the U.S. attorney's office said.

He's dressed like a smurf and has eluded capture for several hours while riding an adult tricycle.  So clearly he has ninja skills.

Since he was arrested yesterday, and based on his history I'd hope he was still in jail. BUT, this is NJ, so.....

If he does those things to little girls that's dangerous enough for me.

More information, he was involved in a gun battle with cops after a traffic stop:

LITTLE EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — A massive manhunt is continuing after a man traded gunfire with a Tuckerton police officer Thursday morning, the Ocean County prosecutor's office said.

The incident began when a Tuckerton police officer pulled a vehicle over near the intersection of Route 9 and North Green Street at 10:22 a.m. The man and the police officer exchanged gunfire and the man ran off.

A witness told News 12 New Jersey the man crashed, got out and started shooting.

I hope he rides a bike better than he drives a car...

NJ101.5 did not say he was the same person, nor did I, Sniper made that comment. In my opinion, child molesters (if proven they are one beyond any doubt) should be publicly executed; same goes for a number of other crimes. But, this is NJ; and that is beyond the reason for my original post.

The point of my statement was he was described as armed & dangerous, with no explanation of why he was deemed to be dangerous (at the time of my post). Being armed alone does not make a person dangerous; they could be ignorant of the law, they could be any other number of things. We now know why he was deemed dangerous based on additional information posted by Sniper.

101.5 says this:

Schools in two southern Ocean County towns were placed on lockdown because police were searching for a gunman who was in a shootout with police.

The other article said this from Parch said this:

David Frew, 41, was arrested Wednesday morning, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said. Frew, who was convicted of child pornography charges in 2008, is accused of using an online messaging service in June 2017 to talk to the child.

Authorities allege that at Frew's request, the child sent Frew the sexually explicit images and engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

And that’s what I based his dangerous  perversion on.

 

How did it go from a traffic stop to armed on a tricycle?  Did PD try to pull over the tricycle or did the guy crash his car and then tri-jack the cycle?  
 

and a tricycle?  Really?  Nobody in NJ needs high-capacity icycles. 

This is the first I've seen a name and prior criminal activities. Another site (nj.com maybe, I forget) claims he is believed to have taken an Uber to a train station and is in NY or Ct.

To recap, if it is the same guy; the court system failed by letting him out, the cop(s) need more range time, he should be permanently removed from society.

You need to understand bail reform.. it was a bad deal.  My prosecutor friend, and my le friend say it was a bad deal.

 

we tried to get people out of the system with.... an algorithm.

I understand bail reform just fine. A bunch of idiots in the government did what they always do.

Whilst I concur. It is what it is and this is the result. 

Caught in New York... man, that guy can really pedal a tricycle... 

TUCKERTON - A suspect who triggered a multi-agency manhunt after exchanging gunfire with a borough police officer Thursday morning is in custody in New York, according to authorities.

Miguel Angel Villegas, 29, of New Haven, Connecticut,  was taken in to custody at Penn Station in Manhattan shortly after 8 p.m. by the United States Marshals Service and the New York City Police Department, announced Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer on Thursday night.

Villegas will be charged with attempted murder, kidnapping, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose, Billhimer said.

“It is my understanding that Villegas is wanted out of Connecticut. We will be seeking extradition from New York to bring him back here to Ocean County to face these charges,” Billhimer said.

Hmmm, I wonder what the odds were that he had a 10 round mag??????

“It is my understanding that Villegas is wanted out of Connecticut.

How can Connecticut issue a carry permit to a wanted criminal and allow him reciprocity with Jersey?  How did he buy his firearm legally?

Why should the US Marshals hold him for NJ? 

NJ won't hold illegals for ICE....
