LONG BRANCH MAN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH MULTIPLE ILLEGAL DUMPING INCIDENTS
WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Wall Township Police Department has arrested Jovane Jordan, 28, of Long Branch, New Jersey, following an investigation tying him to five separate illegal dumping incidents at a commercial property on Campus Parkway.
Between August 12 and September 8, 2026, Wall Township police officers responded to a business on Campus Parkway on three separate occasions regarding unauthorized dumping. Investigators determined that the dumped materials—which appeared to originate from storage units—totaled more than 10 cubic yards and resulted in removal costs exceeding $2,000.
An investigation led by Detective Zach Honecker revealed that the materials involved originated from local storage facilities whose contents had recently been sold at auction. Legal process served on the facilities subsequently identified Jordan as a suspect.
Through the course of the investigation, officers identified the suspect vehicle as a rack-body-style dump truck equipped with a snowplow. A matching vehicle with no visible license plate was later located at a nearby property.
On September 15, 2026, officers followed up on reports that the suspect vehicle had returned to the Campus Parkway area. Investigators observed Jordan operating the dump truck and a white box truck registered to him between Campus Parkway and a nearby location.
Detective Honecker, Patrolman Liddy, and Sergeant Mason subsequently located the white box truck parked near Jordan’s residence in Long Branch.

Jordan was transported to Wall Township Police Headquarters for processing and charged on a warrant with the following offenses:
Following processing, Jordan was remanded to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution (MCCI).
