WALL TWP., N.J. — A Lakewood man employed at the Target store on State Highway 35 was arrested on Tuesday, August 28, 2024, for invasion of privacy, obstruction of the administration of justice, and harassment, following an incident involving a female customer.

According to the Wall Township Police Department, Patrolman Shane Roland conducted an investigation after store management reported that David I.

Sutton was processed and released on a summons. The Wall Township Police Department is encouraging anyone who may have been a victim of a similar incident at the Target store to come forward.
