Officer Charged In Home Invasion Threatened To Burn Down Ex-Boyfriend's Home: Report
- Off-Duty Toms River police officer Rebecca A. Sayegh was charged with burglary, assault, terroristic threats, and resisting arrest after breaking into her ex-boyfriend's home in Berkeley on Friday night.
- The incident followed a verbal dispute that escalated into physical violence, during which Sayegh smashed the front door glass with a baton and threatened to burn down the house.
- Sayegh allegedly pushed and hit two individuals, damaged a vehicle's hood parked in the driveway, resisted arrest, and was taken to Ocean County Jail where she remains held.
- Her attorney, Terrance Turnbach, stated via email that she understands the seriousness of the charges, has served the community for almost nine years, and will cooperate with legal proceedings.
- Sayegh’s arrest compounds ongoing legal issues as she has a pending lawsuit against the department alleging sex discrimination and a past allegation of sexual harassment was dismissed due to timing.
