Jackson Police Department News Release
On Sunday July 26, 2020 at approximately 8:30 pm, officers responded to a residence located on Mill Pond Road in the Whispering Hill neighborhood off of Leesville Road on the report of a suspicious incident. Upon arrival, officers spoke with numerous residents of the neighborhood who claimed that a residence on the street had been rented out to a group who were having a large party which was causing a disturbance in the neighborhood and also appeared to be in violation of Executive Order #156 in reference to the number of attendees.
Officers monitored the area and observed a large crowd at the residence. The homeowner was contacted and advised officers that he had rented out the residence on AirBnB and was hosting a large party. The homeowner then left the area as an estimated 200 additional people arrived at the residence and the party began to expand.
As additional people continued to arrive, the crowd at the residence grew to an estimate in excess of 700 people with well over 100 vehicles parked in the area as the department began receiving 911 calls from other homeowners in the area reporting disturbances and trespassing. Officers then began to clear the crowd from the residence and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office was contacted and authorized charges against the homeowner and party organizer for violating the Executive Order.
As the crowd grew in size, this took the effort of all of the on duty Jackson police officers who responded as the roads into the neighborhood were shut down because more party goers were still arriving. Officers from the Freehold Police Department, Howell Police Department, Lakewood Police Department, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Ocean County Sheriff’s Department and New Jersey State Police also responded to assist and clear the large crowd from the residence and direct traffic as people left the area.
During this time, the department received a 911 call from an Overlook Drive resident reporting that people who had left the Mill Pond Road party had broken into their residence and were damaging property. It was determined that a family member of the caller who had been at the original party had invited a large group from the party back to the residence. Additional officers responded and the unwanted group was then dispersed from this second residence.
It took until approximately 1:00 am for the officers to clear the residences of the party attendees and all of the vehicles from the neighborhood without any further incidents.
At the conclusion of the evening, the homeowner, who was identified as Yaakov Weiss, age 40 of Jackson and party organizers who were identified as Patience Guanue age, 23 and Alicia Hinneh, age 22, both of Newark, were issued summonses for violating the Governor’s Executive Order. The investigation is continuing and Jackson Code Enforcement was also notified of the incident so they could follow up.
- The media and the public are reminded that any persons arrested or charged with any offenses or crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

It sounds like there’s a good chance this was a rental property
Brian Reinertsen yes it was rented out as an Airbnb
Lynn-Leigh Bruno If this is true I hope Jackson hammers the owner so he screens renters better
Brian Reinertsen Supposed to be registered with Airbnb too.
The house is supposedly under contract too
He just bought the house 4 days ago!
Ah….so it WAS the homeowner. So, sounds like unlicensed commercial use to me……the AirBnB was a cover.
Also, can’t help but wonder about he “Yakov Weiss” hosting a “Liberian Independence” party? It may be superficial but that doesn’t sound like two things that go together…………unless there is far more to this story then we have heard so far……..
Them God Damn Liberians
Brandon Ebbs ????????????????????
Absolutely horrible and a waste of the taxpayers money to control it. Disgusting!
Those people don’t care about anyone but themselves. They think they’re above everybody and above the law. And….I guarantee they’ll get, at most, a slap on wrist. BTW, I bet it smelled good there. (In case you didn’t know, they don’t bathe and wear the same clothes over and over)
Wow! Those people? I hope you realize how racist that sounds.
Yes there are quite a few that get away with a lot! But jeez. Stop classifying those people.ignorance is why there are riots in our streets
No.. rioters is why there is riots in the streets!!
What the hell?!?!?! 700 people?!?!?!
I’m sure it was a misunderstanding.
At it again!
FINE them big time!!!
If y’all wondering who won the twerk contest…

Aw so many Karen’s!!!!
And what did Governor Murphy do about this??? Or the party in Brick with 400 people????NOTHING!!!!!
Come on people stop being stupid!!????
Jungle juice and henny shots..oh my! ????
I am sure it will have the intended affect….bring down property values and make the owners want to leave and sell!!!
Jennifer the comments though ????
instead of breaking up the party, they should have put a fence up, and since Yaakof went home, require him and his family to quarantine for 2 weeks. I also think there should be a protest rally outside Patience Guanue and Alicia Hinneh homes for using such racist terms as jungle juice and Henry shots, which are clearly directed at a certain population.
