Police officers assaulted by resident A 30-year-old Ridgewood woman who assaulted two village police officers was remanded to Bergen County Jail after she was unable to make bail. The case began when Patrolman Sean Amoruso and Patrolman Shane Broglia were called to the Ridgewood train station with reports of a woman behaving in an intoxi- cated manner on Aug. 28 at 9:57 p.m. The officers located a woman in possession of an open container of alcohol and when they attempted to investigate, the woman reportedly assaulted them both. She was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. In an unrelated incident the day before, Patrolman Ray- mond Tarino responded to a report of a female shoplifter in custody at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on East Ridgewood Avenue. The woman was arrested and charged with shop- lifting and will appear in Ridgewood Municipal Court. On the same day, the owner of a landscaping company reported that his storage trailer on 152 South Broad Street had been entered and two backpack blowers and a chain- saw had been stolen. The Ridgewood Detective Bureau is investigating. On Sept. 2, two 19-year-old men were charged with underage possession of alcohol and one was charged with driving while intoxicated after Patrolman Amoruso report- edly observed their car being handled in a manner he termed erratic and pulled them over on South Pleasant Avenue.
