The Morrisville Borough Police Department recently assisted New Jersey authorities by arresting a Trenton man wanted for attempted murder, home invasion, aggravated assault, aggravated arson, and related offenses, on drug charges.
According to Peterson’s Breaking News of Trenton on May 16, Karon Oliver, 37, forced his way into a 756 Pennington Ave residence while armed with a weapon, struck a victim, causing bodily injury, and threatened to burn down the home while fleeing.
Authorities said the victim was located several blocks away from the residence shortly after the incident. Fire personnel safely evacuated all occupants of the home, and no injuries related to the fire allegedly set by Oliver were reported. Investigators later concluded that Oliver intentionally set a fire on the first floor of the residence.
