An Ocean Township man was charged with murder after his wife was found dead in a home on Seward Drive.
On Wednesday, police responded to the home after receiving two separate 911 calls reporting a murder at the location.
"Upon arrival, officers located a female victim, later identified as 66-year-old Stacy E. Kless, obviously deceased," Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago said in a statement Friday.
Through an investigation, Michael A. Kless, 67, was determined to be the person responsible for the murder. He was later found in a vehicle in a rest area on the Garden State Parkway. The prosecutor's office said he was unconscious and was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
He is facing charges including murder and unlawful possession of a weapon, which the prosecutor revealed to be a barbell.
