Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Chief Kenneth Cop of the Rutgers University Police Department said a Rutgers’ student has been arrested and charged with contempt of a court order.
Officials say Izaia Bullock, 22, of South River, was arrested and charged yesterday with contempt of a court order which was issued by Middlesex County Superior Court.
According to authorities, on Nov. 29th, a court order was presented to the defendant which prohibited him from having any oral, written, personal, electronic, or other form of contact or communication with the victim. Bullock knowingly violated a provision of that court order on December 26, 2018, when he contacted the victim via a group message on an online application.
Police previously arrested him on Oct. 30th on two counts of attempted murder in the first degree and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree. Then on November 1, 2018, Bullock was charged with one count of cyber harassment in the fourth degree.
The investigation is active and continuing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Lauren Tredo of the Rutgers University Police Department at (848) 932-8025 or Detective Michael Connelly of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at (732) 745-3254.
Officials say Bullock is being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center pending a court appearance scheduled for 2:30 today.
As is the case with all criminal defendants, the charges against Bullock are merely accusations and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
