8h agoThe Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office has announced a man from Denville has been criminally charged with a bias
crime as a result of threatening comments he made at a Deal synagogue.
According to authorities, Nicholas Skirvin, 44, is charged
with second-degree bias intimidation and third-degree making terroristic threats,
among other charges.
Police responded
July 15 around 1 p.m. to Ohel
Yaacob Congregation, at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Ocean Avenue North.
Authorities say Skirvin filmed himself with a cellphone making
obscene gestures, in addition to screaming profanity-laced ethnic and
homophobic slurs outside of the synagogue.
Skirvin was identified as a suspect in the case and was arrested on a
beach in Asbury Park later the same afternoon. He was transported to the
Monmouth County Correctional Institution pending a detention hearing scheduled for
July 25 before Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Paul Escandon.
Deal has a large population
of orthodox Jewish community members.
If convicted, Skirvin faces
up to 10 years in prison.
