Texas man charged in New Jersey armed home invasion

NORWOOD, NJ – Bergen County District Attorney Mark Musella has announced the arrest of Jisun Park, a 40-year-old man from Carrollton, Texas. Park is facing multiple charges, including armed robbery, armed burglary, aggravated assault and illegal possession of a weapon.

This arrest is the result of a joint investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, led by Chief Matthew Finck, and the Norwood Police Department, led by Chief Christian Federici.

The incident occurred on Saturday, July 27 at 12:20 a.m. when Norwood police responded to a 911 call of an armed robbery at a residence on Impatiens Way.

Upon arrival, officers learned that a masked intruder had entered the garage, brandishing a handgun at two adults and their children, demanding their belongings and threatening them. The family’s screams apparently frightened the assailant, causing him to flee into a nearby wooded area.

A coordinated response from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted Norwood Police in the search. Park was found hiding in the woods and was arrested without further incident.

Further investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Investigations Unit led to the seizure of several items used in the crime, including a Glock-style air rifle.
