A woman who robbed a convenience store in Brick Township and was responsible for committing a series of other crimes – one violent – has been sentenced to a prison term for the string of offenses.

Olivia Paige, 35, of Toms River, was sentenced to seven years in state prison by Superior Court Judge Guy P. Ryan. Additionally, Ryan sentenced Paige to three years as a result of her previously-entered guilty plea to cocaine possession in connection with an incident that occurred in Brick Township on January 11, 2023. She received eighteen months as a result of an additional plea to aggravated assault.

According to prosecutors, the Brick incident occurred at the Krauszers convenience store on Maple Avenue and Hebertsville Road Jan. 11, 2023 after the store called police to report a woman shoplifting. An investigation by responding officers determined that Paige was responsible for taking items from the store without paying for them. She was located behind the store with the missing items, and taken into custody without incident. Paige was also found to be in possession of cocaine. She was transported to the Ocean County Jail, and subsequently released as a consequence of New Jersey’s bail reform law.
