TAMMY SYTCH ARRESTED

TMZ.com is reporting that Tammy "Sunny" Sytch was arrested this morning in Keansberg, NJ for allegedly unlawfully possessing a weapon and making terroristic threats.

Sytch, 49, is currently incarcerated in Monmouth County Jail. 

Court records show Sytch was processed into the facility at 11:24 AM EST and is currently facing charges of illegally possessing a weapon (listed as other weapons, which would mean something other than a firearm) and one charge of terroristic threats, listed as "occurs during state of emergency."

New Jersey law describes the latter as:

"A person commits a third degree crime if he threatens to commit any crime of violence with the purpose to 1. terrorize another, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror, or 2. cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly or facility of public transportation, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such evacuation, or 3. otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such inconvenience.  The threat may take the form of either words or actions. Additionally, it must convey menace or fear of a crime of violence to the ordinary person. But not if the threat expresses fleeting anger, or the defendant merely intended to alarm.  With respect to various purposes, the State need not prove 1. actual terror in the victim, or 2. an actual evacuation of a building, place of assembly or facility of public transportation, or 3. an actual serious public inconvenience.  Additionally, this is a second degree crime if it occurs during a declared period of national, State or county emergency. Furthermore, it is not a defense that the actor did not know that there was a declared period of emergency."
