Jahmell Crockam's brother jailed; cops say he threatened to shoot up Lakewood High School

-

Lakewood, N.J. - The brother of the man standing trial for the murder of township police officer Christopher Matlosz is behind bars after allegedly making threats to shoot up the high school if his brother is convicted, police said.

Raheem M. Montgomery, 20, of Edgewood Court, the brother of Jahmell Crockam who is currently on trial in Ocean County for the shooting murder last year of Lakewood Police Officer Christopher Matlosz, allegedly made statements that he would go on a shooting rampage at Lakewood High School if his brother was convicted of the murder, according to Detective Capt. Paul Daly.

A school resource officer was tipped off by a student about the gun threats prompting police to secure a warrant for his arrest on Saturday. When police arrived at the home, Montgomery was taken into custody without incident and a 9mm Stallard Arms handgun was found in his possession, Daly said.

About a month before Matlosz was gunned down at point-blank range on Jan. 14, 2011, Montgomery was shot twice on the afternoon of Dec. 13 while inside a van in the parking lot of the Plaza II Apartments on John Street in the township. He was taken to Kimball Medical Center where he was treated and released the same day for the gunshot wounds.

Montgomery is charged with making terroristic threats and weapons offenses and is currently being held in the Ocean County Jail , Toms River, on $250,000 full-cash-only bail as set by state Superior Court Judge Stephanie M. Wauters.

Hammond told KATU News that a number of students surrounded his son and asked him if he was a Jew.  His son Caleb said “maybe” at which point the other kids allegedly drew swastikas on their hands and said “these repel you." From there, the attack got worse. “They surrounded him, kicking him in the stomach,” Hammond said. “ We're not sure which kids threw rocks and hit him in the back.  And then there was two other kids in the background acting like they were runnin' little video cameras goin' 'look at the gay dude.'” “Enough is enough,” Hammond said. “It's time for it to stop.” It appears the attack on Caleb is not an isolated incident. Other parents and kids are coming forward, saying the school isn't doing enough to stop student racial slurs. Student Gillian Brockman said she was called “nig...
