MORRIS COUNTY — On the evening of August 23, around 9:40 p.m., Marcus Olivera-Leon of Elizabeth was stopped by Denville police while driving an unregistered vehicle on Augusta Street and Legion Place. The vehicle was initially pulled over because its brake light was out.
During the stop, officers discovered that Olivera-Leon had active warrants for his arrest and was wanted by the United States Marshals for violating probation. Following his arrest, Olivera-Leon was taken to police headquarters and later committed to the Morris County Correctional Facility due to the outstanding warrants.
In addition to his arrest, Olivera-Leon was issued motor vehicle summonses for operating an unregistered vehicle, driving without a license, and having a non-functioning brake light. He is scheduled to appear in Denville Municipal Court later to address these violations.
