BRICK TOWNSHIP, NJ — Ryan McDonald, 33, has been charged with three counts of Bias Intimidation, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, and two counts of Criminal Mischief, following incidents that unfolded at a 7-11 store in Brick Township on October 24, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D.
