NJ police officer pleads guilty to burglary and assault after breaking into former partner’s home.
A police officer from New Jersey has entered a guilty plea related to a burglary incident at the home of a former boyfriend earlier this year. The officer, Rebecca Sayegh, 32, hailing from Toms River, was charged with multiple offenses, including burglary, criminal mischief, and simple assault, according to reports from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
Sayegh’s arrest occurred on April 28, following an incident on April 25 when she allegedly broke into a home in Berkeley Township. The police reported that she forcibly smashed the front glass door using a baton before entering the residence. At the time of the incident, Sayegh was off duty. The home she targeted was previously shared with her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had a five-year relationship. Subsequently, the ex-boyfriend now resides there with his current girlfriend.
In addition to the burglary charges, authorities indicated that Sayegh had threatened two individuals inside the home and caused damage to a vehicle parked outside the property
