MOUNTAIN LAKES — A Boonton Township man is facing multiple charges after allegedly fleeing from police during a traffic stop in Mountain Lakes last month.
On Friday, July 18, at approximately 11:06 p.m., an officer attempted to stop a motorcycle. Police said the driver, later identified as 21-year-old Baziar Roberts, refused to comply and sped away from the scene.
Following an investigation, Roberts was identified and issued summonses for failure to maintain lane, failure to stop for a red light, failure to signal a turn, careless driving, reckless driving, and eluding.
Roberts was also given a mandatory court appearance in connection with the motor vehicle violations and the criminal charge, according to police.
