HANOVER — On January 8, 2024, Hanover Township Police Officer Sean Coleman apprehended Mr. Marlon Verde, a 29-year-old resident of Morristown, on charges of obstruction. Mr. Verde was a passenger in a vehicle that had been pulled over for a motor vehicle violation. He refused to provide the requested information necessary for a seatbelt summons, despite several attempts to obtain it, leading to his arrest on obstruction charges. Additionally, it was discovered that several warrants were outstanding for Mr. Verde, totaling $5,500.
As a result, he was charged with two counts of obstruction and subsequently transported to Morris County Correctional Facility to await his court appearance.
The driver of the vehicle, Ms. Marjory Petitcarcamo, a 27-year-old resident of Morristown, was also arrested and charged with obstruction and hindering. In addition to these charges, she received motor vehicle summonses for various violations, including unsafe tires, unclear license plates, careless driving, improper turn, failure to remove snow from the vehicle, and operating an unsafe vehicle. Ms. Petitcarcamo was released pending her court date.
