Each week, Patch combs through the more shocking, surprising and often absurd alleged criminal acts and police-related incidents that unfold throughout New Jersey. Hereâs what went on this week for âOMGs from NJ PD.â
Mr. Tebow, I Have the President on the Line for You: Tim Tebow, next time someone tells you President Obama is calling you, keep this story in mind. Hopatcongâs Jason Slater called police with his best Barack Obama impersonation and told them he was the president, requesting to speak to Tim Tebow, he of football kneeling fame. Police showed up at Slaterâs momâs house, where the 28-year-old did the only natural thing: hide in his momâs closet. Not content to simply let a bad night end quietly, Slater twice threw his summons on the ground after he was released from custodyâ"prompting an additional littering charge.
Isnât Cocaine an Appetite Suppressant?: Heavy is the head that wears the wing-eating crown. Five-time Philly Wing Bowl champion Bill âEl Wingadorâ Simmons was arrested this week after police reportedly uncovered $8,000 worth of cocaine in his car. The Woodbury Heights resident allegedly stashed the drugs in a car covered with an El Wingador wrap. Itâs unclear if chicken wings are on the jailhouse menu.
Cooperation Isnât Always the Answer: Many hands make light workâ"until a Good Samaritan ruins the thieving fun. When a suspect at a Livingston Dunkinâ Donuts tried to make off with a Porsche, an eyewitness blocked his escape. But an accomplice nearby took it upon himself to try to ram the Good Samaritanâs car out of the way. Meanwhile, the first suspect tried again to drive off with the car, snapping the fuel line and his chance of a pricy booty. Livingston Police are on the lookout for the suspects and with a getaway plan like this, we suspect it will only be a matter of time before cops catch these guys.
Staggering Down the Thin Blue Line: Was it lack of a badge or the beer that blew his cover? Hopatcong Police arrested Mohamad Chaudhary afterâ"beer in handâ"he shined a flashlight in two womenâs eyes and identified himself as an undercover officer investigating burglaries. He picked the wrong target, though, because one of the women pretty much knows the whole Hopatcong force and called police. Chaudhary was slapped with charges and jailed by his âfellowâ cops.
Tax Self-Preparation Goes Awry: File this one under âCriminals Making It Easy for Cops.â Collaring the suspect in a home break-in proved fairly simple after Williamstownâs Dwayne M. Chorney Jr. left his W-2 tax form behind at the scene of a Monroe burglary. Hereâs hoping Chorney had a refund coming to himâ"he can use the cash for his legal bills.
Cold Move on a Hot Day:Â The kiddos at Gloucester Townshipâs Goddard School had their fun postponed for a day, thanks to the ice water running through thievesâ veins. Someone (probably a few someones)Â ripped apart the schoolâs five air conditioners, timing the destruction with the hottest day of the year so far. The school had to send home 90 kids for the day and police are still looking for the suspects.
