Toms River, NJ – Giacomo Martino was booked into the Ocean County Jail on Friday and remains in custody without bail while facing multiple criminal charges across three separate cases, according to county inmate records.
The booking record identifies Martino, 48, as a citizen of Italy. He was committed to the county jail on Friday, with all three cases listed as no-bail matters and no projected release date available.
Charges span three criminal cases
According to the inmate record, Martino is charged in one case with fourth-degree contempt for allegedly violating a court order.
In two additional cases, he faces fourth-degree charges of attempting to purposely or knowingly cause bodily injury to another. One of those cases also includes a fourth-degree charge of theft by unlawful taking of movable property and an additional contempt charge for allegedly violating a court order.
The online jail record does not identify the alleged victims, specify the incidents that led to the charges, or name the investigating law enforcement agencies. More information may become available through court filings as the cases move forward.
Court proceedings ahead
Because the cases are listed as no-bail matters, Martino is expected to appear before the Superior Court for detention proceedings under New Jersey’s criminal justice system, where a judge will determine whether he will remain in custody while the charges are pending.
The charges listed in the inmate booking record are allegations. Martino is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
