The ex-husband of
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast member Dina Manzo has been
charged in a new indictment with acting as an accomplice in the 2017 home
invasion during which the TV star's current husband was beaten with a baseball bat
and tied up.
A Monmouth County grand
jury returned the indictment this week against Thomas Manzo, 56, of Franklin
Lakes.
Thomas Manzo is accused of acting as an accomplice to
robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, theft and other crimes in the May 13,
2017 home invasion at Dina Manzo’s townhouse on Banyan Boulevard in
Holmdel.
Thomas Manzo is also charged as the sole actor in two
counts of fourth-degree stalking related to the victims.
According to the investigation, police responded to the townhouse
just before 11 p.m. after getting a 911 call about the attack. They found Dina Manzo
and her current husband, who had freed themselves from zip-ties after being
attacked with a baseball bat.
