CRANBURY – A Cranbury woman has been charged in connection with a fatal crash that resulted in the death of a passenger and serious bodily injury to the driver of one of the involved vehicles.
An investigation conducted by Detective Paul Lindenfeld of the Cranbury Police Department and Detective Jonathan Berman of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office alleges that, on Feb. 10 at approximately 4:12 p.m., Lisa Pollitt, 36, “intentionally” drove her vehicle into oncoming traffic where she struck the victims who were traveling northbound on Route 130 near Justin Drive, according to information provided by Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and Chief Michael J. Owens of the Cranbury Police Department on Feb. 15.
Pollitt is a reporter for New Brunswick Today. Her biography on the news site says she is a graduate of Monmouth University with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications. She is a licensed New Jersey skin care specialist and makeup artist.
Both women in the impacted vehicle sustained serious bodily injuries and were transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital where the passenger, Ann “Nancy” Stewart, 95, of Monroe, remained in critical condition.
On Feb. 12, Stewart died as a result of her injuries sustained in the crash, according to the statement.
Pollitt was initially charged with separate counts of second- and third-degree aggravated assault and fourth-degree obstruction. Upon the death of Stewart, she was charged with one count of first-degree murder.
At present, the murder appears to be a random act as Pollitt and the victims were unknown to one another, according to the statement.
Pollitt remains in custody pending a pre-trial detention hearing in Superior Court.
Anyone with information should call Lindenfeld at 609-664-3244 or Berman at 732-745-4328. |

How horrible for all involved.
Is it really a Cranbury person or a mailing address? So many times we see this and it is a mailing address and sloppy reporting to not confirm. |

The authorities are alleging it wasn't an accident. No details as to why yet. |

According to public records, she lives (or at least recently lived) in the new housing off of Route 130 right next to Village Park, where the truck parking used to be. Justin Drive. She also wrote an article for a New Brunswick news site about the Brainard Lake dredging project in December. |

It is the low income places on 130 in Cranbury. This is what we get when we want low income in our town. It will only get worse. |

Putting aside the bigoted aspersion that low income housing occupants are inherently trouble, your statement incorrectly implies that Cranbury had a choice. Like every township in NJ, Cranbury is legally obligated to provide a ratio of affordable, subsidized housing. Cranbury meets its legal obligations, nothing more. The Township has even been sued by developers on the basis of this obligation. If you want to take issue with low income housing, you need to be dealing with the State lawmakers and judges. |

Not only agree with the above, but we have no indication that this was someone who lived there or that they intended the outcome of the action. |

Well if the police are there on a daily basis for trouble I would say that low income brings in the trash. Not everyone - but a majority over there. Just stating facts. You people love to FACT CHECK so have at it.  |

| Sad story all the way around. She must be a very troubled person. It is terrible that she killed someone, allegedly intentionally. Imagine if that was someone you loved. It begs the question, why does the state insist we subsidize housing for troubled people within our family oriented community. Arguably, she would have been better off somewhere closer to the help she needed and we would all be better off not paying for a seriously troubled person to live next to a community playground. |

Low life comments! I guess you would want to judge and evict my next door neighbor with his mentally ill wife and his two criminal children hooked on drugs who owns a $750000 house. Most people living in affordable housing are just as law abiding as the rest of the population in Cranbury -- except theu experience a lot of hassle in their lives that better pay could solve |

I'm not surprised by your silly knee jerk reaction. Take a deep breadth. The facts are plain... this woman would have been better off somewhere else, and our community would have been better off if she were somewhere else. Instead, we subsidized her housing and she killed one of our neighbors.
If your neighbors present a danger to the community, they would be better off somewhere else and we would be better off if they were somewhere else, regardless of their home value.
Many people in Cranbury's affordable housing are trying to escape problems in other communities. Unfortunately, some of their problems follow them here. |

| Cranbury did the “somewhere else” “not in our backyard” BS for years. Using tax dollars to pay other towns to take our affordable housing. Then the state decided to get it right and mandated all towns need affordable housing. It’s funny. No one has any problem with their low cost property taxes (compared to neighboring towns) being subsidized by huge huge tax paying warehouses but god forbid a worker at the warehouse wants to live near by. |

You opinion of "getting it right" and mine are obviously different. The woman in question was not working locally. If that's your argument, she should have been living in New Brunswick where she was marginally employed. She is not any kind of community contributor. She lives here because we are paying for her to live here. You think that is the right thing to do and I do not. Policies like New Jersey's subsidized housing policy are the reason many people leave New Jersey at their earliest convenience. |
