Toms River, NJ — A man booked into the Ocean County Jail Sunday is being held without bail on burglary and criminal mischief charges, with federal immigration authorities also placing a detainer on him, according to jail records. The arrest led to immediate detention under a no-bail status, signaling the seriousness of the charges under New Jersey law.
The inmate, identified as Washington Javier Hernandez Montesde, was committed to custody on Sunday, April 26, in Ocean County. Jail records list charges including burglary and criminal mischief involving property damage, both classified as third-degree offenses.
Immigration detainer adds federal hold
In addition to the state charges, U.S. Immigration authorities have issued a detainer, requesting that the jail notify federal agents before any potential release. The detainer does not change the current no-bail status but could affect custody if the defendant becomes eligible for release later in the legal process.
