Burglary suspect James J. Florio II, 39, a township resident, turned himself into police headquarters Tuesday after a Monday wanted person alert was distributed via Nixle emergency alert.

Florio was charged with one count of burglary in connection to a Nov. 19 incident at a home on The Fellsway, Ocean Township Police Department spokesman Det. Lt. Kevin Faller said.

Officers Randy Slawsky and Karen Noel responded to a 6:43 a.m. call for an intruder inside the residence. Upon arrival, the subject was no longer on scene but the homeowner reported an unknown male subject entered her residence through an open garage door and walked into the kitchen area of the house.

Florio was developed as a suspect following an investigation by Detective Michael Melody.

Florio was remanded to Monmouth County Jail in lieu of $35,000 cash only bail set by Judge Louis Garippo Jr as he awaits a future court hearing.
