TOMS RIVER, N.J. — A 35-year-old man remains jailed without bail in Ocean County after authorities charged him with animal cruelty along with several driving-related offenses, according to county booking records.
Jail records identify the defendant as Imsiwan Nmn Vaughn, who was taken into custody on April 17, 2026, and is currently being held at the Ocean County Jail.
Charges include animal cruelty and driving violations
According to inmate records, Vaughn faces a charge of animal cruelty under New Jersey statute 4:22-17, a disorderly persons offense. He is also charged with multiple motor vehicle violations, including operating an unregistered vehicle, driving while on the revoked list, and driving without a valid license.
The charges stem from the same case listed under booking number 15-238603, though records do not include details about the circumstances leading to the arrest.
Bail status and detainer details
Vaughn is listed as being held with no bail on the primary case. Additional bail amounts appear tied to related charges, totaling $4,750 across several counts, though the no-bail designation keeps him in custody.
Records also show an active detainer issued by Neptune Municipal Court, which can affect release eligibility even if bail is posted in other matters.
He is described in booking records as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing approximately 235 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Multiple aliases are associated with his name in the system.
