A state judge in Sussex County on Thursday found a Dover man not guilty by reason of insanity in a carjacking last summer that led to a multiple police response across two counties and ended in a crash in Rockaway Borough.
Cyprian Luke, whose violent arrest in Dover two years ago went viral and led to a state investigation, hears demonic voices that threaten him and believes others, including police officers, are out to harm him, Judge Louis Sceusi said during a virtual court hearing on Thursday.
Sceusi referred to three doctors reports when he made his decision to find the 21-year-old Morristown man not guilty by reason of insanity on charges of carjacking and attempted carjacking. Rather than serve prison time on the charges, Luke will be under the care of the state Department of Health, which will determine whether he requires hospitalization for mental health.

A Denville man killed his mother and set their Indian Lakes section home on fire, authorities said.
Anthony Citro, 41, was charged with first-degree murder and arson after police and firefighters who responded to a fire on Monday found the remains of his mother inside the home they shared, authorities said.
Arriving at the scene on narrow, hilly Chestnut Hill Drive East, police found Citro outside the residence, with apparent blood on his clothing, said Morris County Prosecutor Robert Carroll.
The cause of death has been ruled homicide by the Morris County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Carroll identified the victim as Eileen Citro, 68. He charged her son on Tuesday after the Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the manner of death was sharp force injuries and ruled it a homicide.
