Page 8 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • December 3, 2014 Wyckoff Arrests send two men to Bergen County Jail Two men were remanded to Bergen County Jail with $100,000 bail each on charges related to possession of handguns and hollow point bullets after what started out as a routine traffic arrest on Route 208. Patrolman Mark Tagliareni stopped a vehicle on Route 208 on Nov. 23 at 3:25 p.m. for several motor vehicle violations. He observed a partially concealed hand- gun in the front passenger’s lap partially concealed by a jacket. He called for backup and Sergeant Joseph Soto and Patrolman Kyle Ferreira assisted, along with Franklin Lakes police officers, and two more guns were located in a backpack. The weapons were two 9mm pistols and a 40-caliber pistol. The driver, a 28-year-old resident of Roseta, Pennsylvania and a passenger, a 50-year-old Paterson man, were each charged with three counts of possession of loaded handguns, possession of hollow point bullets, and possession of marijuana. A woman, the wife of the younger man, was charged with possession of a push dagger, a stun gun, and marijuana. She was released on her own recognizance to take care of her two children, and the two men were com- mitted to the Bergen County Jail. A few days before, in an unrelated inci- dent on Nov. 21, a vehicle drove off the roadway on Wyckoff Avenue near Monroe Avenue at 10:49 a.m. and snapped a utility pole in half. The utility pole fell on the road- way, but the motorist kept driving. Patrol- man Ryan Noon observed the car stopped at the intersection of Wyckoff Avenue and Martom Road. The vehicle had extensive front end damage and all of the air bags had been deployed. The 46-year-old driver, a Wyckoff resident, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was also charged with refusal to submit to a breath test, leaving the scene of an accident, reck- less driving, and failure to submit insur- ance information. He was released into the custody of his wife and faces an appearance in municipal court. A few days before that, on Nov. 15, a Park Avenue resident reported the theft of a TREK mountain bicycle from the rear of the house. The bike was valued at $500. Giving thanks The children at the Andrew Friedland Early Childhood Learning Center at Temple Beth Rishon learned that in addition to being thankful at this time of year, they should also help other people. The children participated in a Thanksgiving Food Drive. They collected three baskets of food that were donated to Jewish Family Services. (Photo courtesy of TBR.)
