FREEHOLD – A Rutgers University police officer is facing criminal charges after threatening his roommate with firearms, announced Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.
William Tartis, 27, of Ocean Township, is charged with second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and fourth-degree aggravated assault in connection with multiple instances where he pulled a firearm on his roommate. This follows a joint investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and the Ocean Township Police Department. The investigation revealed that on multiple occasions since the summer of 2020, Tartis pointed a shotgun and a handgun at his roommate in their residence in Ocean Township. Tartis would pretend to shoot his roommate with the barrel of a firearm pointed at him. At times, Tartis would point a firearm at his roommate and request rent money or instruct his roommate to turn down the volume on the television. Tartis was also charged with domestic violence harassment regarding a second victim, a female that had recently engaged in a relationship with Tartis. Ten firearms were seized from Tartis’ residence last night, including his duty weapon.
Tartis began his employment with the Rutgers University Police Department on January 7, 2020 and is currently suspended without pay from his post at the University.
“William Tartis’ actions, as alleged, are horrendous and do not reflect upon the excellent work of the members of the Rutgers University Police Department. Upon notification, our internal affairs bureau fully cooperated with the investigating agencies and Mr. Tartis has been suspended without pay,” said Rutgers University Executive Director of Public Safety, Chief Kenneth Cop.
Tartis had his first appearance today before the Honorable James M. Newman. His next court date is a pre-indictment conference scheduled for December 24, 2020 before the Honorable Jill Grace O’Malley.
If anyone has any additional information, please contact Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Detective John Sosdian at 1-800-533-7443 or Ocean Township Police Department Detective Jesse Orbach at 732-531-1800.

If convicted of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, Tartis faces a sentence of five to ten years in a New Jersey state prison. If convicted of aggravated assault, he faces up to 18 months in state prison. The domestic violence harassment charge is a petty disorderly persons offense.
The case is assigned to Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Melanie Falco, Director of the Office’s Professional Responsibilities and Bias Crime Unit.
Despite these charges, every defendant is presumed innocent, unless and until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, following a trial at which the defendant has all of the trial rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and State law.

In light of the approaching election, I
would like propose a radical notion: America faces a choice not between
two presidential candidates, but two kings.
To develop this
thesis, I will make the case that President Donald Trump and former Vice
President Joe Biden have strong parallels to two infamous kings in the
Bible: King Nebuchadnezzar (Trump) and King Ahab (Biden).
We begin by reviewing the career of both kings and then highlighting the parallels to our current presidential candidates.
First,
there is King Nebuchadnezzar, a man whose personal life was almost
entirely governed by sin. He burnt God’s house to the ground (2 Kings
25:9), robbed it blind (Dan 1:2), and enslaved God’s people, Israel (2
Kings 24:14). He was also filled with an unrivaled arrogance (Dan 4:30),
which was richly articulated when he commissioned a 90ft golden statue
of himself and told people to worship it on pain of death (Dan 3:1-6).
Additionally, he possessed a hair-triggered temper. When his wise men
couldn’t interpret his dream, he threatened to cut them to pieces and
burn down their homes, before ultimately giving an order to kill them
all for failing to accommodate his request (Dan 2:5, 12).
As bad as he was, however, Nebuchadnezzar
did righteous acts. He put Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in
key regions of his empire (Dan 2:48-49, 3:30), allowing them to bring
God’s law to the pagan nation Babylon. He also spoke favorably of the
true God, even while in unbelief, and did his functional equivalent of
good policy by outlawing the blaspheming of Yahweh (Dan 3:28; 39).
In brief, Nebuchadnezzar was a bad man who did good things.
d
Trump,
though his sins are not identical to Nebuchadnezzar’s, is also a man
governed by immorality. He bragged about the time he tried to seduce a married woman, he mocked a POW who was tortured for us, his comments about women are outrageous, he is a vulgar braggart with a hair-trigger temper (as his twitter account shows), and he possesses incredible arrogance.
But as bad as he is, Trump put righteous men in power. He filled the district courts, including the infamous 9th Circuit,
with conservative judges. Trump appointee Justice Brett Kavanaugh has,
thus far, largely remained committed to the idea of preserving the
original intent of the Constitution. His latest nominee, Amy Coney
Barrett, appears promising.
Finally, his 2017 speech to the UN
was the most conservative vision of foreign policy that the infamous
international body will ever hear, arguably for the next 1000 years.
Trump’s speech articulated the two great principles of conservatism:
decentralized power (more faith in nations rather than supranational
bodies) and centralized private morals (every nation has a moral duty to
do what’s best for their people). In this same speech, he also called
out socialism as an intrinsic evil rather than a benign experiment gone
wrong. “The problem with Venezuela,” said Trump, “is not that
socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been
faithfully implemented.”
Trump is, like Nebuchadnezzar, a bad man who does good things.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, has many parallels to King Ahab.
King
Ahab was a man who worshiped idols and angered God more than every king
before him (I Kings 16:33). He was all but controlled by the evil
impulses of his wicked wife Jezebel (1 Kings 21:25-26), who massacred
God’s prophets (I Kings 18:4), and led the nation into unprecedented
unrighteousness.
Biden, though his sins are not identical to Ahab’s, is a man governed by evil and horrible policies. He repeatedly plagiarized others, both on the campaign trail and while in law school. He seeks to codify Roe v. Wade into law. This means Biden seeks to congressionally legalize the taking of life without a trial even though the victims have committed no crime, capital or otherwise. Such an action flies in the face of the 14th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, and the Declaration of Independence—all of which recognize the right to live absent proof of guilt — and erases the dividing line between civilization and barbarism.
Furthermore, Biden supports transgenderism, a discredited pseudoscience originating from radical sexual theorist John Money, a man who pushed for legalized pedophilia and incest. Biden’s support for this degeneracy is so deep he recently advocated letting 8-year olds decide their sexual identity.
Biden’s
parallels to King Ahab do not end with his immoral policies. Like King
Ahab before him, a case could be made that Biden is not the one running
the show. If recent curious, identical Freudian slips
from Biden and his VP pick are anything to go by, a case could be made
that Biden is merely a Trojan horse for Harris. In fact, a CNN op-ed
suggested that Harris was chosen in part because she “will be ready to
step in if and when Biden decides to step aside.” If this Trojan horse
theory is accurate (something no one would confess out loud) it is
instructive to find a parallel to Kamala Harris.
Though their sins are not identical, Harris (if this speculation is true) has many parallels to Queen Jezebel.
Like
Jezebel before her, Harris is the woman behind the man. Additionally,
just as Jezebel was governed by, and steered Israel towards idolatry and
wickedness through her station as Queen, Harris is immoral and seeks to
promote immorality as Vice President.
She dated a married mantwice
her age. Additionally, Harris attacked Biden for his opposition to
federal bussing in the 1970s, and when confronted by former Democratic
Senator Chris Dodd over the ambush, he said she remorselessly “laughed and said, ‘that’s politics.’” In other words, Harris sees nothing wrong with exploiting racial strife if it helps her get power.
Beyond her personal immorality, she violated her duty to uphold the law and the will of the people when she refused to defend Prop 8, in which the people voted to preserve marriage in California. She also supports legalized prostitution.
Worst of all, she is fanatically dedicated to the abortion lobby. She supports legislation that would force states to get approval from the Justice Department before passing pro-life laws, effectively destroying their ability to meaningfully restrict abortion. She voted to block the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,
which would have cracked down on doctors who did not try to save the
lives of children who survived abortion—in plain english, she tried to
stop an attempt to end infanticide.
In light of his poor character and policies and that of his running mate, Joe Biden, like Ahab, is a bad man who does bad things and is likely a vehicle for a worse woman.
So where does that leave us? What choices do we have in 2020?
Grim as it is, our only options are Trump’s Nebuchadnezzar (a bad king with some goodpolicies) or Biden’s Ahab (a bad king with badpolicies who is likely controlled by worse people).
Neither option is ideal, but such is the case in a world marred by sin.
It
is for this reason, among others, that even as we prayerfully seek God
for wisdom regarding which of the two kings to choose, we must keep in
mind that our hope is not “in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation” but in Jesus Christ, the King of Kings (Ps. 146:3, Rev 19:16) who will one day return and like “a stone…cut out of the mountain without hands…shatter all…kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will [Himself] stand forever” (Dan 2:44-45).
