Shawn Milne, 46, of Toms River (Toms River Police Department)TOMS RIVER -- A Toms River man convicted of raping and murdering a 13-year-old girl in 1985 has been arrested after police said he failed to meet the terms of his recent release from prison.
Shawn Milne, 46, was charged Wednesday with two counts of failing to register under Megan's Law for not notifying local police of his current address and employment, the Toms River Police Department said in a statement Thursday.
Milne was released from prison last year after serving a 30-year sentence in South Woods State Prison in Bridgeton for murder. He was tried as an adult when he was 15-years-old and found guilty in the death of Barbara Harrison.
