Keansburg Police responded to the home of Anthony Hoff Friday afternoon around 3:45 pm which is between Seeley and Carr Avenues.

They were called in after a concerned family member of Anthony Hoff called police.

It started out as a welfare check when officers responded to the scene.

Hoff though "became belligerent and threatened the responding officers" and had no intention at that time of coming out of the home, flat out refusing.

The Monmouth County Emergency Response Team (MOCERT) and Monmouth County Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) then responded to the scene along with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office who joined Keansburg Police on scene with other surrounding law enforcement agencies around 4:30 pm.

Acting Prosecutor Linskey said that Hoff threatened officers during the standoff with the use of a firearm and then he threw a knife in their direction.

There was hours worth of negotiations as police tried to get Hoff to peacefully come out of the residence and unarmed.

Finally, at around 9:40 pm, Hoff was taken into custody and without incident.

He was then brought to the hospital for an evaluation.
