A Connecticut man who authorities said fired at a police officer following a Jersey Shore traffic stop was indicted on attempted murder, kidnapping and other charges, authorities said.
Miguel Angel-Villegas, 29, of New Haven had threatened to kill his then-girlfriend if she didn’t drive him from Connecticut to New Jersey, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.
After making the woman give the Tuckerton police officer a bogus name during the traffic stop last Nov. 21, Angel-Villegas forced her at gunpoint to speed away, Billhimer said.
