According to the investigation, Holmdel Police responded to the townhouse just before 11 p.m. that May night four years ago 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. Dina Manzo s new $60,000 engagement ring was stolen, along with $500 in cash, officials have said.
The initial investigation led to Mainello s arrest in May 2019. Two years later, prosecutors say their investigation ultimately uncovered Thomas Manzo s alleged role in stalking both victims and his motivations for the robbery and assault carried out by Mainello and another still unknown assailant.

Monmouth County Prosecutor Chris Gramiccioni also announced that Sudan Harris, 30, has been charged with second degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of weapon.
The man Harris shot on October 18, 2019 later recovered after being treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
A joint investigation between the MCPO and APPD began after the arrival of Asbury Park Police that day around 1:12 pm and they later identified Harris as the shooter.
The United States Marshals Regional Task Force, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, and Asbury Park Police Department all teamed up to arrest Harris and transport him to the Monmouth County Corrections Institution where he remains awaiting his First Appearance and Detention Hearing.
Simone has been suspended from her position at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution. No one is above the law, Gramiccioni said. It is essential to our criminal justice system that officers maintain the public s trust. This officer broke the law that she was sworn to uphold, all over a measly $600. This conduct will not be tolerated and is a stain on the men and women in law enforcement who work tirelessly to serve their communities with honor.
Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden said, Any member of law enforcement who violates their oath does a disservice to the public and their fellow officers, and will be held fully accountable.
