On June 17, members of Suarez’s Special Victims Unit and deputy U.S. Marshals seized Marc Toledo of Jersey City, the prosecutor announced.
Toledo was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, criminal restraint and making terroristic threats, she said.
He remained held in the Hudson County Correctional Facility in Kearny pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Jersey City.
