Antonio Jones, (pictured) a 3rd Street resident seen being arrested following a foot pursuit last night, has been charged in connection with last night’s armed robbery, Police Chief Rob Lawson tells TLS. Jones, 44, who was chased down by officer Miick, was charged with armed robbery, despite using a toy gun in the offense.
As the suspect ran from police, he discarded items which included some of the clothing he was wearing as well as the toy gun. Mr. Jones was also in possession of an Israeli Shekel which was later identified by the victim as part of the robbery proceeds, Police say.
The suspect has not yet been charged in connection with Monday night’s robbery.
Jones is being held at the Ocean county Jail in lieu of $75,000.00 bail. TLS.
which part of this is considered an armed robbery if it was a toy gun?
luckily under the law, the punishment is just as severe whether you use a real gun, or a toy gun, he is going down for a lonnnng time,, and all for a shek!
Kudos to Officer Miick. You put your life in direct danger to aprehend the perp. Good on you & Thanks from all.
It is time to name and shame the slumlords who allow this to happen.

“which part of this is considered an armed robbery if it was a toy gun?”
all of it !!!!
Good Thing For Jones
Doesn’t matter if it’s a toy. And if you try to pass fake drugs off as real and sell them, that’s still a crime too.
Air-soft “toy” guns are extremely realistic replicas of real handguns. They are often used in motion pictures and are almost impossible to tell apart from the real thing even close up.
to A Yungerman- i agree completely
SCOOP POST MY PREVIOUS COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!
ANTONIO JONES HAS A PUBLIC CRIMINAL RECORD- AND I WANT THE PEOPLE TO KNOW- THAT A SLUM-LORD OBVIOUSLY IS THE REASON THIS THUG IS LIVING IN LAKEWOOD!!
Why bail is so little for this kind of stuff
your caps lock is on again
TO #13.
a legit point about the safety & welfare of lakewood and its citizens was made by me, and all you can add to the conversation is the status of my CAPS LOCK? really??? -your about as useful as a suitcase with no handle.
how about you and anyone else on here that is a useless thread poster- not worry about spelling, grammar, caps, and simply either add useful content to the topic at hand, or simply not say anything at all. to anyone reading a particular thread, and they reach a useless and totally off topic comment like yours makes you look like you have (moderated) and yells out random off-beat junk. wisen up.
whats a slum-lord?
Thank you LPD for keeping our streets safe and getting this thug off the street! Keep up your great work! We appreciate it!
TO #15: “whats a slum-lord?”
SLUM-LORD: (describes a bad land-lord / owner of the rental)
rents his apartment out to cash-paying illegals.
knowingly rents his apartment out to cash-paying criminals.
doesnt check the background of his prospected tenant.
(by not checking the background, he could be allowing a pedophile or a child/women predator to live in his unit- next to a school, park, future victim, etc.)
Doesnt take care of the property to upkeep a clean, neat presentable appearance.
Doesnt take into consideration the neighbors of the thug-tenant.
Doesnt address complaints from neighbors or township on the issues.
Doesnt evict the horrible tenant because the horrible tenant is cash paying.
Doesnt check to make sure the tenant is not making a nuisance or living a life of crime.
by creating & allowing such a slum to exist- who do you think would live under such conditions, aside from thugs/criminals/predators? These criminals then continue their life of crime close to their home. and that happens to be MANY places in lakewood.
this story is just a prime example- this Antonio Jones has a lengthy criminal history, easily accessible via public records, yet his tenant still chose to allowed this criminal to live in lakewood.
Good for him , he deservd it. He shouldn’t be holding beople up – even with a fake gun. It’s a good thing he got arrested.
did i hit a nerve?? im just sick of all your yelling!! now im just wondering if you are 5?? since you are comparing me to a suitcase. about yelling of beat junk thats funny reminds me of you! really!!!
to #18 – i too can sit here and needlessly complain about your extreme us of “!!!!!”‘s. but im not. and no one else is.
so please dont waste your time- nor ours, nor the space on here criticizing others of using caps, when in fact you are the one thats yelling. because the use of caps does not mean screaming it means and or used for, typographical emphasis.
the use of “!” means screaming.
