Jaden Thompson of Freehold was criminally charged Tuesday for endangering the welfare of a child (3rd degree) and simple assault (Disorderly Persons Offense), police said.
But there was no need to lock up Thompson.
Turns out he already was behind bars in the Ocean County Jail as of Nov. 29 on unrelated criminal charges, police said.
What else is he accused of doing?
According to Jackson Police, just after 11:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving, officers responded to the Paragon apartments at 1020 Larsen Road for a report of a female who had been stabbed by an ex-boyfriend. Jackson is about three miles west of Howell Township.
A family member of the stabbing victim told police that Thompson was the ex-boyfriend and that he carried out the stabbing.
It was determined that Thompson was arguing with the victim when he stabbed her in the lower abdomen, police said, adding that he then fled the area in a vehicle believed to be a black 2012 Nissan Altima.
After a two-day search with the assistance of U.S. Marshalls, the suspect was located in Edison, police said. Edison is almost an hour northeast of Trenton.
Police said Thompson crashed the car following a vehicle chase. After he fled the crash scene, police quickly apprehended him and transferred him to the custody of Jackson Police.
In connection with the stabbing incident, police said Thompson was charged with:
- Attempted murder (1st degree)
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (2nd degree)
- Endangering the welfare of a child (2nd degree)
- Possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (3rd degree)
- Unlawful possession of a weapon (4th degree)
- Criminal trespass
Some commenters under the Jackson Police Department’s Facebook post about the stabbing seemed as though they’ve had about enough:
- “Sad that we have come to the crossroads,” one commenter wrote, adding that “the people in town need to really take a stand against this degradation of our community.”
- “Hope he rots in 666,” another user said.
- “Off with his head!!!” another commenter exclaimed. “Do this the old school way; we don’t need people in … society like that!!!!”

Thanksgiving nightmare: Woman gives chilling ‘independence day’ confession about slashing boyfriend’s throat, police say
An Arizona woman allegedly admitted to trying to murder her sleeping boyfriend on Thanksgiving, according to court documents. What’s more, authorities said the woman told her boyfriend, “Today is my independence day.”
Tamala Rudeseal — a 52-year-old from Mesa — was arrested on Thanksgiving night and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on attempted murder and aggravated assault charges. Her bond was set at $1 million.
‘God, I hope he is dead; it’d be a favor to me, his wife, and his children.’
Police said Rudeseal called 911 around 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving and reportedly made several alarming remarks.
Citing court records, KPNX-TV reported that Rudeseal was heard saying during the 911 call, “I’m sick of what you do to me, today is independence day.”
Court documents also claim Rudeseal was heard saying, “Yes … I did just try to murder you,” and “I’m ready to go to prison.”
Police said when officers arrived at the residence, they found Rudeseal’s boyfriend with a cut running from his left ear to the center of his neck.
The wounded man was rushed to a local hospital and underwent emergency surgery for a neck laceration, according to KSAZ-TV. Officials told the news outlet that the man is expected to survive.
The boyfriend informed investigators that the couple had argued earlier in the day, court docs stated.
Arizona Family, citing court documents, reported that the man told detectives he was asleep when he woke to a sharp pain in his neck. Court records also state that he told investigators that he thought he was going to die but controlled the bleeding with his shirt until police arrived.
The boyfriend said he’d been in a relationship with Rudeseal for 11 years and that she is often depressed around the holidays, according to court records.
According to court docs, Rudeseal informed police that she told her boyfriend, “I’m going to slice your (expletive) throat.”
According to court docs, when asked by investigators if she was attempting to kill her boyfriend, Rudeseal responded, “Yes. God, I hope he is dead; it’d be a favor to me, his wife, and his children.”
According to court records, Rudeseal also told authorities, “I planned on doing the other side and then stabbing him in the heart.”
Records show Rudeseal complained to officers that her boyfriend “does not do anything around the house” except sit, smoke, and drink.
Police detained Rudeseal at the crime scene and recovered a large folding hunting knife close to where she was found, authorities said.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office told People magazine that the case is “currently under review by our office.”
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday afternoon told Blaze News that Rudeseal “is still in custody.”

Thug with over 40 arrests accused of punching then shoving mentally disabled man to train tracks — all over $1
A rampant repeat offender has been accused of punching and then shoving an intellectually disabled man off a Chicago suburb train platform and upon the tracks below, seriously injuring the victim — and all over $1.
Tommie O. Carter, 39 — who law enforcement sources said has been arrested over 40 times in Cook County, Illinois — has been identified as the culprit, WGN-TV reported.
‘I am the victim!’
Forest Park officers were dispatched to the Harlem Blue Line stop just before 8:35 a.m. Monday for a report of a battery, the station said. Forest Park is a suburb just west of Chicago.
Officers found the 59-year-old victim lying on the train tracks, WGN said.
Prosecutors allege Carter approached the man and repeatedly asked him for a dollar, the station said, adding that the man replied that he had no money.
More from WGN:
Carter allegedly pushed the man to the ground, and he was able to get back up. Documents state the man walked to the train platform and Carter followed him.
He then struck the man in the head and pushed him from behind, causing the 59-year-old to fall to the tracks, prosecutors state. The man came “really close” to the electric third rail.
A train was approaching the station, but the train’s operator, who saw what happened, was able to stop the train in time. Authorities were able to cut off electricity to the rail so first responders could make the rescue.
Prosecutors said the alleged attack was captured on surveillance video, the station added.
WGN reported that the victim — who suffered multiple fractures to his right knee and a fracture in his left knee — was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Officers approached Carter on the train platform after witnesses identified him, the station said, citing court documents.
But Carter refused to comply with officers’ orders and fought back as they were placing him in handcuffs, police told WGN.
Carter continued to tense up and tried to pull away from officers as they took him to a squad car, the station said, citing an incident report.
More from WGN:
As one officer was placing the suspect in the back seat, he turned his head and spit on the officer, hitting him in the forehead and side of his face.
After driving to the police department, as officers were trying to remove Carter from the squad car to bring him inside for processing, he allegedly began to spit again, hitting one officer in his arm, and hitting another in the face mask, left shoulder, and on his body-worn camera mounted on his uniform.
An incident report shows once Carter was in the station, he was irate at first, and then began to speak with officers. He claimed the victim initially grabbed him, which caused his jacket to rip, and said he pushed the man after he was grabbed.
“Carter then became increasingly hostile, spitting towards officers, throwing a wet toilet paper roll and wet T-shirt,” the incident report stated, according to the station.
Carter was charged with attempted murder and three counts of aggravated battery to a police officer, WGN reported.
He also shouted, “I am the victim!” and “Let me out of here!” during his detention hearing, the station said.
A judge denied a request from Carter’s attorney that he should be allowed on electronic monitoring, WGN noted.
What’s more, Carter was on pretrial release in connection with a case just last month in which he was charged with criminal damage to government supported property, criminal trespass, and assault, the station said.
More from WGN:
According to an arrest report, Carter entered the Citadel Center without authorization, and when asked to leave, he refused. After being taken into custody, he allegedly started kicking the door of the Chicago Police Department squad car and tried to spit on one of the officers.
Carter also has seven felony convictions on his record, including a 2023 case for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, in which he was sentenced to two years in the Illinois Department of Correction.
He has six other convictions on his criminal record, including retail theft, attempted armed robbery, and armed robbery.
A judge ordered Carter detained, the station said; his next court date is scheduled for Dec. 19.
