WILDWOOD — A 19-year-old is the fourth person facing charges in connection to a fatal, unsanctioned car rally last month.

Joshua Bocchino, of Long Branch, was arrested at his home on West End Avenue on Thursday, according to the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office.

Authorities said a large number of tips from the public helped to identify Bocchino as the dark-hooded person responsible for assaulting a police officer at the H2Oi rally on Sept. 24.

Bocchino is charged with third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree resisting arrest, and obstruction of justice. He is being held at Cape May County jail pending a court appearance.

“We are continuing to review video footage and receive tips from the public to make sure we charge all the individuals who are identified as criminal actors during riotous and reckless events that took place during the weekend of September 24, 2022," Cape May County Prosecutor Jefferey Sutherland said.
