LACEY – A township man was indicted on charges of Bias Intimidation and Terroristic Threats for telling an Amazon driver that he’s in a racist neighborhood and asking whether he should be shot in the head.
Police said John Vincentini, 62, of Lacey was driving when he followed an Amazon delivery driver into a cul-de-sac. Using his vehicle, he blocked the way out and then confronted the driver. He asked the driver why he was in the neighborhood and asked the driver if he understood that it was a racist neighborhood. Vincentini then allegedly asked the driver whether he wanted him to go back to his car, get his rifle, and shoot him in the head.
The Amazon employee drove away and called Lacey police. This incident happened on September 5, 2022. Vincentini turned himself in to police a month later. He was released on a summons pending future appearances in court.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer acknowledged the efforts of Senior Assistant Prosecutor Ashley Angelo and Assistant Prosecutor Julie Peterson who presented the case to the Grand Jury on behalf of the State, and commends the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Bias Crime Unit and Lacey Township Detective Bureau for their collaborative efforts in connection with this investigation.
Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.
