A good deed turned into a nightmare scenario for a 59-year-old Monroe Township woman who pulled over to assist a driver following a motor vehicle crash in South Brunswick.

According to police, the Monroe Township woman was on the phone with her son just after 11 p.m. on Oct. 28 when she spotted a car crash on Ridge Road near the New Jersey Turnpike overpass. She made the decision to pull over and help the driver, later identified as Ikeice Bell, 34, of Monmouth Junction, who was headed to his job at UPS.

After the victim had stopped her car, Bell approached her vehicle, opened the passenger door and told her he had a gun. He then demanded that she "get him out of there," according to South Brunswick Deputy Police Chief James Ryan.

"The victim reported that she saw what appeared to be a weapon as Mr. Bell returned briefly to his own vehicle. When he came back, he repeated that he had a gun and directed her to drive away with him inside her vehicle," Ryan said.

During the drive, the victim managed to text her son and let him know about the situation, asking him to track her via her cellphone.

"She then dropped her phone onto the vehicle floor. During this time, Mr. Bell reportedly placed his girlfriend on speaker phone on his cell," Ryan added.

The victim's son then contacted South Brunswick police and began to provide officers with a description of his mother's vehicle, information about the location of the car and which direction it was heading. Police located the vehicle on Route 525 and conducted a "high risk traffic stop," according to police. Once stopped, officers were able to remove Bell from the vehicle and place him into a patrol car. Police say he then spit at two officers and struck one of them in the face. That officer was later taken to Princeton Medical Center.

Once at headquarters, EMS crews responded to evaluate Bell for any injuries he may have suffered as a result of the crash. Police say he was uncooperative and made "derogatory comments" to the EMTs as they attempted to treat him.

According to the deputy chief, police were initially unable to locate the weapon described by the victim. Bell's car was towed from the crash scene and police will attempt to execute a search warrant to try and find the weapon in the vehicle.

Bell is facing multiple charges including aggravated assault on a police officer, making terroristic threats, kidnapping and criminal restraint. He is currently being held at Middlesex County Correctional Facility.

Police are asking anyone with info about the incident to call Detective Brian Luck at 732-329-4000, ext. 7475.
