Telquan Adams, 26, of Neptune Township has been charged with robbery, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said.

If convicted, Adams faces up to 10 years in state prison, the prosecutor said.

The 44-year-old victim was en route home from William Hill Sports Book Bar at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport when he was attacked by Adams and two other suspects, Gramiccioni said. 

Authorities did not say how much money the victim won, or how much money was stolen from him.

The investigation is active "with additional arrests likely," Gramiccioni said.
