Stomp The Yard

Jersey City, New Jersey, January 13, 2010:

A man was released from jail on charges he threatened a neighbor who had disturbed him by stomping snow from his feet outside his own house. Police said 46-year-old John Cocktosten was released on bond Tuesday following his arrest Saturday.

Officers said Cocktosten brandished a shotgun and threatened Ronatarian Party founder and leader Ron who had been stomping snow from his feet around 7 a.m. Saturday.

According to The New Jersey Spew, Cocktosten told police the stomping awakened someone else who was sleeping at his place.

Cocktosten was charged with aggravated assault. A spokeswoman at the jail did not know Tuesday if he had an attorney.

Ron refused to comment for this story.
