Acting Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says Wilson is currently in Monmouth County Correctional Institution on $1.15 million bail with no 10% cash option.

Wilson's crime spree began early Tuesday morning, when he allegedly shot and robbed a cab driver in Asbury Park.  The victim suffered a single gunshot wound to the head, and is in critical but stable condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

According to the Prosecutor's Office, Wilson then robbed a gas attendant with a handgun at the Shell station on Asbury Ave. in Ocean Township.

Later that morning, Wilson tried to obtain money from the cab driver’s bank account from several area banks.   A Neptune bank manager, suspecting a theft, confiscated the identification and debit card from Wilson and contacted the Neptune Police Department.  Wilson fled before police arrived.

At approximately 9:00 p.m., that same day, Wilson committed an armed robbery at a taxi stand in Long Branch with a handgun.

Early Wednesday morning, Wilson robbed a Quick Check convenient store on Rt. 33 in Neptune, and fled in a motor vehicle.  Neptune Police stopped Wilson at around 4 p.m., but he assaulted an officer and eluded authorities once again.

Wilson was arrested at approximately 10:00 p.m. later that evening in a house located at 1318 Monroe Avenue in Neptune by several police officers.

According to the Prosecutor's Office, Wilson is facing the following charges: one count of Attempted Murder, four counts of first degree Armed Robbery, four counts of second degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, four counts of second degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, two counts of second degree Aggravated Assault, one count of third degree Terroristic Threats and one count of second degree Eluding.
