Police arrest motorist who slept through green light The Wyckoff Police Department arrested a 21-year-old man who slept through an entire light change at Godwin Avenue and Franklin Avenue. On Nov. 27 at 2:15 a.m., Patrolman Kyle Ferreira observed a vehicle at the intersection stopped for the traffic signal, but the vehicle did not move during the entire green phase of the light. Patrolman Ferreira pulled up alongside the car, and saw that the driver was asleep with his head resting on the steering wheel. The officer blew his car horn and activated the siren but there was no response. When Ferreira stepped out of his vehicle and knocked on the sleeping motorist’s car door, the 21-year- old took about 30 seconds to respond. The driver was charged with driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to a breath test, reckless driving, and failure to observe a traffic signal. He was released into the custody of his father pending an appearance in Wyckoff Municipal Court. Ferreira also stopped a vehicle on Route 208 on Dec. 5 for several motor vehicle violations and reported that the 52-year-old Englewood motorist was in possession of a container that held 10 Oxycodone pills but the man had no prescription. He was charged with possession of narcotics without a prescription and released on his own recogni- zance. Another vehicle came to the attention of Wyckoff police when Patrolman Robert Schlossberg observed sparks coming from the sides of a Toyota pickup truck on Nov. 29 at 12:58 a.m. Schlossberg investigated and found that the truck was being driven on its rims. Both tires on one side of the truck had been flattened. He arrested the driver, a 28-year-old Hawthorne man, for DWI. The driver was also charged with reckless driving and operating an unsafe vehicle. He was released into the custody of his mother and faces an appearance in Wyckoff Municipal Court.
