Stafford: On August 3, 2020, the Stafford Township Police Department conducted an investigation into the viral video posted on various social media outlets showing a customer at the Manahawkin Costco berating, threatening, and causing a scene inside the store on July 29, 2020.
Officer Joseph Stanziano took the initial complaint and began the investigation. Members of the Stafford Township Detective Bureau later identified the suspect with the assistance of the patrol division and concerned members of the public who were posting information on social media.
As a result of these efforts, the suspect was positively identified as, William Commauf, 48 years old of Cannonball Drive in Barnegat, New Jersey.
Today, August 5, 2020, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was arrested with the assistance of the Barnegat Township Police Department without incident.
Commauf was charged with Terroristic Threats, Harassment and Disorderly Conduct.
He was processed at the Stafford Township Police Department, and transported to the Ocean County Jail.
The Stafford Township Police Department would like to thank the public for all of their assistance with this investigation.
As a reminder, the Stafford Township Police Department does not release arrest photos of defendants, and the public and press are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
We have included the video again in case anyone forgot it, or didn’t see it yet.

Finally a good news today
Finally.
Good!????????????????
That booking process was probably the most peaceful couple of hours his wife has ever known.
Vicki Tartas his wife was defending him all over social media trying to justify his actions and trash talking the cashier.
Daneen L Emele he probably abuses her too
Daneen L Emele no doubt otherwise he’d probably beat the sh*t out of her too.
Beth Huntley not from what I read. She’s a willing accomplice to his behavior.
Daneen L Emele I didn’t seeing her do anything but make believe it wasn’t happening
Daneen L Emele that behavior isn’t turnt on and off
Daneen L Emele in the jail he is listed as a female ????
Danielle Adams well he is going to be somebody’s bitch????
Someone I know that knows them said his wife is actually worse than him. Guess it’s true what they say….there’s someone for everyone.
Vicki Tartas now lets get the poor girl help and maybe relocation from this fool
Oh I’d love to get a hold of this pos
What were the charges?
Jersey Mike HM they are listed in the article. Terroristic threat, harassment and disorderly conduct! ????????
Jersey Mike HM terroristic threats
Laura Truszkowski I just read it. Thanks. He will plead to a city ordinance if he doesn’t have too much of a criminal history. Some of this young ladies friends and family should go to the court room and object to any plea deal. If that was my wife he disrespected, I’d be getting booked too and get thrown in the hole for beating him again in jail. Jesus would forgive me. Fake tough guy.
Jersey Mike HM we also shop at that store. My husband is pissed he wasn’t there that day! Lol I hope the family does show up and I hope the book is thrown at this guy. Total JO!
Good to hear! Now lock him up
Karissa Lee I just read it. I guess I should’ve read it first. Lol. Looks like he got a disorderly conduct too. Unfortunately, it will all get knock down to a city ordinance with a big fine.
Laura Truszkowski if I was there I would’ve stepped to him no doubt. I do it all the time. I’m 6’4 285 so I can get away with that. I’m a gentle giant but don’t mess with innocent people in front of me. I go off!
Jersey Mike HM The country needs more men like you! My husband is the same way. Not as tall, but never intimated. ????????????????
Laura Truszkowski I don’t like bullies at all. Just be nice and kind.
Laura Truszkowski
Jersey Mike HM , hoping the terroristic threat remains and isn’t dropped down. From his attitude and demeanor that day perhaps there is a history.
Jersey Mike HM he has arrests in many states. Just another wannabe tough guy
Jersey Mike HM want help?
Jersey Mike HM someone posted a history of arrest violence towards women
Angelina Macchia oh boy! He’s in trouble! His name is out there too.
Angelina Macchia not shocked at all.
Tara Heffern
Lauren Kazanjian ????????????????????????
Karissa! They got him!
Sabrina Sandoval
Karissa Lee
Great news
Good. That POS needs some mental help.
Good. That guy was a total JO!
Way to go Stafford PD!!
Good POS!!
Sucks to suck ????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️
Karissa Lee he is out already
I just checked. He still shows in ocean county jail inmate database – which normally means he’s still in there ????????♀️
Karissa Lee says he’s single , what a shocker lol ????
Karissa Lee they have him listed as a female ????
Jennifer Hicks that’s even better lmao!!
did you see that part that says “no bail”. I’m assuming that means he can’t bond out till he goes in front of a judge. ????
Ellen Trevelise Sweeney good!
Karissa Lee and there’s no hearing date listed either. LOL
Ellen Trevelise Sweeney he’s already been released due to NJ bail reform laws
Karissa Lee why does it show F for sex?
Dorothie Bonfanti
Monica Ann good!! Such a dirt bag!
Great deal!!
Best news all day!!!
Kim Mitchell Martinez Electric on was right up there too???????????? just sayin
Glad to see this happen, that act of his was so incredibly stupid, yea being a tough guy with a female, what a dumbass
WOW!!!!!!
POS!
Wonder how tough the asshole was while being arrested!!! Fn trash
Great job Stanz
He is already free
Where do you get that from?
Rebecca Walsh Bail reform
But still nothing from
Costco. They’ll let their customers and employees go down with out so much as a word from them. Thanks to the community that demanded he get justice.
He’ll be back there in no time for his chickens.
Daneen L Emele they should ban him from all costco stores
Daneen L Emele store manager should also be fired for allowing his employee to be abused and doing nothing about it.
Daneen L Emele glad I wasn’t there. We were going there every week when the shutdown began. I would have told my husband to go to the car and be ready for bail money as I would have unloaded verbally on that POS. I imagine his wife must suffer from battered wife syndrome for her just to stand by like that. Hopefully Costco will never allow this to happen to any employee ever again.
Daneen L Emele as long as they put his meats in the cart “properly” all is well!
Unfortunately she (and her family) defended him saying the cashier made a “Benny” comment something tells me she’s just as vulgar!
Dana Covitz damn!! I was going to add unless she was just as much as an asshole, but had hoped that not to be the case. So, two POS that probably have kids and potentially raising them to be POS too. ????
Good!! Douchbag
Yes!!!
Yeah i hope she sues the shit out of him….and signs litsa complaints.
Awesome
let’s see his big mouth now, so glad they found that POS
Peggy Brednich Belavich https://www.bailbondshq.com/north_carolina/ncdoc-inmate-COMMAUF/0854459
Same guy?
MaryAnn Nolan Jr. i would say yes
Peggy Brednich Belavich hes got charges in ny too. What a sheet
MaryAnn Nolan Jr. nice guy huh ? i bet he’s very abusive to his wife
HE WAS CLEARLY JEALOUS OF THEM PACKING HIS CART TOO PERFECT !
Good !!
If he’s that abusive with a stranger could you imagine how he is with his family, just saying????♀️
Beth Huntley look at this past arrest for assault on a female: https://www.bailbondshq.com/north_carolina/ncdoc-inmate-COMMAUF/0854459
Jennifer Staffin Guidetti prior assault charge on a female ! What a low life
Veronica Vick Thomas there are a few other arrests for him too. No class. Def was triggered by something – guy needs serious help.
Jennifer Staffin Guidetti agreed!
Jennifer Staffin Guidetti that’s what I mean, this isn’t a isolated incident.
Good
Where are those scumbag ladies that were defending him?
Tim MacDonald I didn’t hear anyone defending him?
Suzanne Heinen I’ve seen this story on so many different groups maybe I’m remembering the group incorrectly, but one of them had people (family members or acquaintances) defending him and getting nasty with everyone.
Tim MacDonald telling people to kill themselves. Yep correct story. Classy bunch.
Tim MacDonald wow. He’s a POS. No one could defend that behavior.
No their was the girl he was with trying to defend him and others! Look who’s laughing now!!!!!
Tim MacDonald…mostly his wife was the one defending him in the initial post on here.
There were 2 of them, the comments were deleted on one of them. Now we hear crickets.
Suzanne Heinen there were two women defending him. On this site.
Tammy White it was the wife/gf and then her daughter
Tim MacDonald the wife/gf who was with him in the video
Tim MacDonald and her daughter
Kristin Smith Yeah I saw..one of them tried to say his name wasn’t William Commauf. I had to laugh the other day because I knew the other person was right.
Tammy White now this ones sticking up for him all over every thread ????
Kristin Smith I don’t get it. He did something wrong & they are trying to justify his behavior now. His wife blamed it on a TBI, give me a break.
Tammy White if u google his name he has tons of arrests including assaulting a woman
And stealing computers in 2018
Tammy White blamed his behavior on TBI or her reasons for defending him? Because I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a few concussions because he smacked her around.
Says he’s single. Well there’s a shocker!!!
Beverly Reilly Ombres he’s not single, this lady was sticking up for him on the other thread. She also called us all pineys and claims they’re the victims lmao she’s the one who was with him in the video
Kristin Smith I got the info from a comment here showing his arrest. It said “single”. So I guess just not married
Beverly Reilly Ombres yea they have diff last names
Good ,that POS
N.B. Torts
Carol DeHotel-Eldridge
Debbie Nerney Belford
Samantha Anne best thing to happen in 2020 since Outlander ????????
Debbie Nerney Belford justice is served #ByeBye !
Samantha Anne BUH-BYE ????????♀️
Good
Where’s Jenna @ now since she defended this fucking jerkoff?!
Nothing but crickets now ????
????????????
He is clearly “unwell.” But could have gotten very dangerous!
Awesome work! I saw a post where they were trying to defend themselves. Two wrongs do not make a right, never-mind having respect for women, and no personal boundaries! All I could keep thinking was that he beats his wife or girlfriend! Surprised that child protective services wasn’t called. This couple have a child!
Jo Di I read that some of the posts that make claims it was in defense and she said something first was an attempt by his friends/family to mitigate the damages
What was it about?
Yay!!
Glad they got him and locked him up
Rob
Meghan Hcnyl scumbag ????
What a loser
Good guy was an asshole
Good.. send him to Rahway!!!!
Excellent job!!! And I hope that cashier got a few days off with Pay!!!!
Major Dill Hole! JS
YES!!!!!!
Good! What a jerk
Jill Ortiz
Yeah
Terroristic threats LOL. Guys obviously a scumbag but that’s a comical overcharge. Let me get this straight we’re going to send this loser into county jail as our scumbag governor has released how many hundreds or thousands of actual convicted criminals so far this year? lol wut??
Dylan Frampton he physically threatened the cashier. So yes. Terroristic threats
Dylan Frampton
A terroristic threat is a threat to commit a crime of violence or a threat to cause bodily injury to another person and terrorization as the result of the prescribed conduct.
So yes. Terroristic threat. I’m sure this was not comical or funny or “lol” to her or her family.
Dylan Frampton this guy is clearly unstable and should be charged and sentenced to at least some sort of anger management. It’s not like he’s going to jail for years. If this was your mother he was talking to, wouldn’t you hope for some kind of repercussion?
Dylan Frampton what the hell does Murphy have to do with this scum being taken off of the streets? He tormented and threatened that woman. He deserves this and more. Probably crying line a little bitch right now. Tough guy. LOL
Dylan Frampton google his name, this guy has been arrested already multiple times one of those times was for physically assaulting a woman…..
???? awesome news
These workers gave a hard enough job especially these times without dealing assholes like him.
Awesome.
Tara Sindicue show Camilo
Amen!!! Keep that POS behind bars & give that cashier a god damn bonus!
He’s a real man
Brian James only in his own mind
Sencia Kenny there’s an update.
Lori-Ann De Chavitano that’s funny…I’m just seeing this…Thank you though…I’m so glad he got what he deserved
So glad to here. Hope he gets everything he deserves ????????????
Great!!!
Whaaat a dick
Great job!!!
Joseph Stanziano ????????
Good!!! He’s lucky he didn’t run his mouth in the wrong place, and get himself killed, or even those with him should he piss off the wrong person. People are really crazy these days, I myself would have hit him.
Brenda Aretta Mendez-Roberts yeah, tough guys like this are just sad and laughable
Yay what a dick wad !!!!! He so tough!!!
Thank god
????????♀️ sounds like he has a case of small Penis syndrome
Thank god the cops actually did something because I think its downright fucking disgraceful that Costco choose to do absolutely nothing about the situation
Steve Chillemi I don’t get how the store manager let his employee be totally abused like this and do nothing about it!!
Hopefully they were trying to get the whole video in. Hopefully, if not, shame on Costco
Steve Chillemi that manager who didn’t have his ass removed or banned for life from ANY Costco should be fired
Completely agree
Thank you officer for taking time to find this person! Great job!!
So glad to hear this!!
Shawn this is the one I was telling you about ????
Yesss…. i was thinking about that incident today!! I’m glad that there were consequences to his bullsh*t .

Good????????????????
Scum bag

Eddie Haney click the link the video is in the article
Now the cashier who handled it all with grace should get a huge promotion
Crystal Adams Pontoriero lawsuit
Crystal Adams Pontoriero Yes and the manager fired who stood there silently and watched as her employee was verbally abused
Good that ass should have been arrested
Dude has a rap sheet all over the country.
He’s still in jail
Kimberly prior for assault on female.
https://www.bailbondshq.com/north_carolina/ncdoc-inmate-COMMAUF/0854459

What a pos!!!
Awesome job STAFFORD PD
Great job!!
Kudos to that cashier. I would have walked away.
Give that woman a weeks of vacation time! AND SHAME ON COSCO THAT DID DO SHIT! AND SHAME ON THE PEOPLE NOT SAYING A WORD TO HELP THIS POOR LADY OUT!!! POS HE IS!
Glad to here
Jessalyn
Yes!!!! What a horrible miserable person.
He’s a disrespectful human being… a piece of shit to be exact. I guess he treats his mother like that and possibly his spouse..
good job SPD! Keep that ignorant piece of crap in jail….
Thats awesome! I hope he learns his lesson
Carlos Martinho
Hahahha scumbag deserves it love to hear it
What a Whacko!!
That is horrible. Kudos to the videographer
Lisa Vergona-Fobian if I were the cashier, I’d walk away
Good! Hopefully someone in jail will make him feel just as degraded as he did to the poor cashier. Pos deserves it
Stephanie Seidel nicely put. Agreed.
People are losing their minds ????
???? Stay safe everyone
All u people are fucking pathetic ass waste of human life!
Cori Malanka-Francisco lol what
Cori Malanka-Francisco you sound like a child who has been put in his place for acting like this. Now since you’ve learned not to act like that in public you
come here and act like a lunatic twatwaffle
Cori Malanka-Francisco why, you know this piece of garbage? If I did, I wouldn’t even admit it.
Cori Malanka-Francisco exactly !!!! The kids can’t wait till he’s home Tom ! Lol
Jenna Grasso Howard yup and the lawyer can’t wait to have a field day! Let’s just leave it at that!
Pretty sure this piece of shit talking to the cashier like that is the “pathetic ass waste of human life” you speak of
Cori Malanka-Francisco what lawyers will have a field day on he made threats he did commit a crime he’s gonna have to take a charge and prob do jail time ocean county won’t let this slide you could hire the best lawyer around and he’s still gonna do some time
Jenna Grasso Howard Cori Malanka-Francisco you guys must be so proud to know him ❤️ The only lawyer who’s going to have a field day is the one of the woman who was harassed by this coward
Sydney Dalton lol
Cori Malanka-Francisco I feel bad you think this is normal behavior, I am sure his kids and family love and support him, but you are lying to yourself if you say he don’t behave like this at home or this behavior is ok and doesn’t warrant intervention.
his family are defending him because their prob just like him. Do yourself a favor and leave jersey and never come back. Go back from where you came froM
Adriana Rivera yea ok ! I’m running lmfao !
Cori Malanka-Francisco

Jenna Grasso Howard these ppl are low life scum bags to bring children into this!
DeShawn Reginald queens definitely have a better class if ppl then u people
Cori Malanka-Francisco these ppl are projecting hate , like I said everything is being documented and taken care of accordingly
Jenna Grasso Howard You honestly can say anyone here is projecting hate.. After what everyone witnessed in Costco? Really? Hundreds of posts not one single person threatened anyone.
Scott Ramesdorfer no ? No one threatened anyone ? I have screenshots of the threats …
Scott Ramesdorfer where ppl are posting my info and pictures of my kids and where my kid goes to mma
Jenna Grasso Howard Whatever you people aren’t worth my time.. Just happy we have such wonderful Police Departments that live in and love there communities..

Disgusting dude. Poor cashier ☹

VI Horvath pretty sure he requested her husband/boyfriend.
Alejandro Castro yea he’s so tough but his jacket is abuse towards women….????
Ok ????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️
Angelina Macchia because all charges given by our justice system (which was ignoring this) are an accurate representation of the actual crime that took place.????
Alejandro Castro I will say this with all do respect, you can not honestly say this is an isolated incident and you can NOT honestly say this behavior is excusable.
Whatever the legal outcome may be.
Youre selectively painting a picture. You can make that same argument to justify the incident. You’re matching covers, skipping past the text. To each their own.
Alejandro Castro
Alejandro Castro
Kenda Greene this was brought up and already responded to above, but thank you for the gallery.
Alejandro Castro welcome! Just making sure you know and it’s accurate ????
Alejandro Castro he may have..but we all know he is a wuss. He needs an attitude adjustment by a real man!!! ????
Alejandro Castro I hear you like to put large objects in your mouth and suck is this true ?
Jay Relli only thing thats true is you think about large objects in another mens mouths.
Yea I got something special for you
????
5 foot 9 hahahahahahahhahaahahhahahahahahahahahha
Chris Donley laying down with his weeniedo?
Chris Donley and a female
Really??
Awesome
Careful y’all there is some “lady” on here forms queens, ny. Trying to saying it wasn’t that clown she knows but it clearly is. Just ban the chick so we can disgrace this fool
Scott A Barnes his family was real tough over the Internet. They thought it was funny….
Brandi Biz was that said to you?
Brandi Biz I’ve had run ins with this “lady” elsewhere. If I say what she truly is, I go to fb jail again. She probably knows him very well or would defend garbage behavior to a first amendment right to. You’re awesome for posting the video to spite her shallow threat
Scott A Barnes you are you I never had a Argument with anybody here
Theresa Dimizio Grasso not you
Scott A Barnes oh I thought you meant me.. who are you talking about
Theresa Dimizio Grasso someone else

The man needs some serious help…
William Commauf, 48 years old of Cannonball Drive in Barnegat, New Jersey…SO..NOT A BENNY YOU SAY ???? But But Everyone was so sure it was..LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Monica L Celli I would definitely say he is a transplant. His girlfriend and daughter are both from NY. Which it doesn’t really matter he’s a total POS.
Kara Ann I’m not his daughter
Jenna Grasso Howard girlfriend daughter that’s what I meant.
Kara Ann oh ok , my correction then
He does have an address in NY. Read it on another arrest he had
Ha ha
Bad Behavior
Consequence a MUST!!!! ????????
Thank you Stafford Police
I wish I was there.
Garbage human.
Feel sorry for his wife/girlfriend that was just standing there saying to herself “shut up you stupid ass!”
Anne Fredericks if u read up on the comments the wife wanted a piece! Lol she’s defending him.
oh, when I originally saw the video, she looked pretty uncomfortable
Amber Gransden and she is a moron too. Likes her tough guy. Makes her feel like she is tough also.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/838112393316740/permalink/993710641090247/
But barnegat never has issues right ! Lol
Jenna dont u work for the BOE as a teachers aide? But yet u want to post about how Barnegat is! ????
Mike Pone I’m not understanding your point
Carly Garth
Unfortunately if someone stepped in a knocked the sass out of this A**hole they would have been in more trouble than he is.
This type of person probably had issues all along, the smallest tipping point brings their problem to a head. Just like spiders in a closet they are always there but until they make a move you just don’t notice them.
Maureen Vogt
This guy has always been a asshole. It’s his nature. That’s the way it is. Pure garbage that needs to be beaten regularly. Will never change.
People are going crazy! This happened to me. Simply because I’m drive cautiously with my children in the car. He want to hurry up and go nowhere. Then cursed me out.
Ramona Ricart ???? ????????
Ramona Ricart but wait manahawkin people don’t act like this ????
Thats not manahawkin smart guy
He should be banned for life from Costco and his picture posted at every entrance. Just sayimg!
Amanda Rose
????????????
I have a theory. Guys that wear sunglasses on their heads are usually assholes.
Eddy McLaughlin thinking about your theory ..and yes you are right
Eddy McLaughlin who u calling an asshole
Good hope he actually does time, otherwise he’ll be back out tomorrow doing it to someone else
Robert Orobello
????????????????
I hope he is permanently barred from Costco – and the cashier deserves combat pay!
Thank God they found that guy
Back the Blue????
What a jerkoff.. How rude to be speaking to them like that.
Michelle Carroll Dell
What a SCUMBAG! He needed to be drop kicked! I wouldn’t have been able to keep my mouth shut if I heard him talking to the cashier like that!
So glad he was charged!! Let’s hear what the asshole has to say now tough guy!
Diane Brown
Mike Pone she’s a teachers aide? ????
That’s a scary thought
