MOUNTAIN LAKES — Mountain Lakes Patrolman Grady attempted to stop a vehicle on Route 46 East on April 15th, but the driver sped off, dangerously weaving through traffic.
New Jersey State Police eventually intercepted the vehicle on Route 80 and arrested 19-year-old Shazil Siddiqi of Mountain Lakes. Siddiqi was charged with eluding police and reckless and careless driving, among other offenses, and was taken to Morris County Correctional Facility to await a court hearing.
A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, this Defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
