An off-duty cop in New Jersey was charged and jailed after she allegedly broke into a residence and assaulted two victims last week.

Rebecca Sayegh, 32, was charged with home invasion burglary and two counts of assault, according to the Ocean County Prosecuter’s Office. She was also booked with two counts of criminal mischief, along with terroristic threats and resisting arrest.

The charges stem from an Apr. 25 incident involving a “domestic disturbance” in Berkeley Township. Officers were alerted to the scene at around 11:20 p.m.

“Responding Officers discovered that an individual, later identified as Sayegh – an off-duty Toms River Township Police Officer – had smashed the front glass door of the residence, entered the residence, and then assaulted and threatened two victims inside the residence,” the prosecutor’s office explained.

“Prosecutor Billhimer commends the Berkeley Township Police Department for their efforts in connection with this investigation,” the prosecutor’s office concluded.

In 2021, Sayegh was given a Class B award for her valiant efforts during a house fire, according to the Toms River Police Department.

“Officer Sayegh was first on scene, learned the home owner was unaccounted for and likely still inside,” the police statement about the incident read. “Officer Sayegh was able to escort [the victim] and her pets across the street to safety. Officer Sayegh is commended for her swift action, bravery, and lifesaving actions.”
