Kadyhrob Spotted Near Princeton University Campus

Tony Kadyhrob, the 68-year-old Lawrence Township man who was ordered by a judge not to set foot on the grounds of any school–from preschools all the way up to universities–after he last week, was spotted on a street in Princeton Borough just blocks from the Princeton University campus this morning (Wednesday, April 6), according to an email alert sent to students by Princeton University’s Department of Public Safety.

The alert noted that Kadyhrob was detained by borough police but then released without being charged because he was not actually seen on any school property.

Princeton Borough Police Lt. Robert Currier said Kadyhrob was stopped on Mercer Street near Hibben Road at 11:06 a.m. for a motor vehicle violation. The officer recognized Kayhrob from a recent police alert and asked him why he was in Princeton. 

"He offered an explanation that we're looking into," Currier said, declining to specify what the explanation was. 

Borough police gave Kadyhrob a warning for the motor vehicle violation. 

Currier said there was no indication that he had been on any Princeton school or university properties. 

"He was aware of his court order not to go on any college campuses or school property," Currier said.

The text of the alert follows:

The Department of Public Safety is alerting community members that the luring suspect identified as Tony Kadyhrob was observed in the Borough of Princeton around 10:21 a.m. today, April 6.

A community member observed the individual on Wiggins Street in Princeton Borough and called Public Safety, who notified the Princeton Borough Police. Princeton Borough and Princeton Township Police stopped and positively identified the subject as Tony Kadyhrob, who was recently charged with luring of a female undergraduate student at Rider University and also was recently stopped by campus police at The College of New Jersey. Kadyhrob was later released today by Princeton Borough Police because he was not seen on university or school properties.

Below is a picture of the individual, who was last seen wearing a bright blue jacket and carrying manila folders. If he is seen on university property, please contact Public Safety at (609) 258-3333 or dial 911 from a university phone.

On Tuesday, Kadyhrob appeared in Lawrence Township municipal court and, in addition to being banned from school grounds, was .

On March 28, while on Rider’s main campus in Lawrence, Kadyhrob allegedly grabbed the arm of a 19-year-old Rider University student and ordered her to get in his car. The girl broke free of his grasp, ran off, and called authorities. Kadyhrob was identified as a suspect and arrested the next day and charged with attempting to entice an adult into a motor vehicle, a third-degree crime.

Free on bail, he was subsequently and was banned from that campus.

Should he fail to follow the judge’s orders to stay clear of schools and get a psychiatric evaluation, Kadyhrob could have his $2,500 bail–of which he posted 10 percent–revoked.

The charge against Kadyhrob has been forwarded by Lawrence Township police to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office for review.
