NJ Man Plows Into Police Station, Gets Terrorism Charge

October 2, 2023 Crime, Police

A 34-year-old New Jersey man is in jail on terrorism charges after authorities alleged he deliberately drove his SUV into a home and a police station while blaring the Guns N’ Roses’ song “Welcome to the Jungle” from his stereo. John G. Hargreaves was immediately taken into custody when his Toyota SUV came crashing through the lobby of the Independence Township Police Department. He exited the vehicle with his hands and index fingers raised as if celebrating a touchdown, police said.

Minutes before the police station crash, Hargreaves is alleged to have purposefully driven his vehicle through the garage door of a home in nearby Liberty Township. “The investigation showed that at approximately 6:17 p.m. the defendant deliberately crashed his gold Toyota SUV into the garage of a private residence in an attempt to scare or harass the homeowner, who the defendant knew,” Warren County Prosecutor James Pfeiffer said in his statement.
