Jared Krysiak, of Brick Township, assisted Maxwell Johnston, 35, of Manchester Township, in dismembering 56-year-old Kerry Rollason on July 3, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.
Krysiak was captured in Marlboro on Tuesday, July 16, and transported to the Ocean County Jail on charges of hindering apprehension and desecration of human remains, Billhimer said.
Johnston had been wanted in the killing of Gabriella Caroleo and is believed to have killed Rollason in his own home on Ravenwood Drive in Toms River, before taking over the home with Krysiak, Elizabeth Mascarelli, 29, of Seaside Heights, and Danielle Bolstad, 42, of Barnegat, and Jarred Palumbo, 36, of Manchester, Billhimer said.
Mascarelli, Bolstad, and Palumbo all exited the home when authorities showed up earlier this month, but Johnston remained inside, the prosecutor said. Johnston was found dead by suicide after an hours-long standoff.
