Stafford Township police arrested a Tuckerton man this morning during a motor vehicle stop on a $5,000 outstanding warrant for assaulting a bounty hunter, police said.
John B. Sharpe Jr., 28, 565 Route 9 South, was taken into custody without incident after police found him sitting in the back seat of a car during the stop on McKinley Avenue, police said.
Police made the stop for a "wanted known person," out of Little Egg Harbor Township, according to the police report.
The warrant was issued by the Little Egg Harbor municipal court on June 20 when Sharpe failed to appear on the aggravated assault charges against a bounty hunter, the report states.
Hunter was later released to the Stafford Township police department
