Washington was being held at the Monmouth County jail in Freehold in lieu of $30,000 bail, Amato said. Washington's two dogs were confiscated and transported to the county SPCA in Eatontown, he said. Patrolman Frank Doremus of the Neptune Township police and Sgt. Matthew Guliano of the county SPCA assisted with the arrest, Amato said. |
