HANOVER TOWNSHIP — On Sunday, March 1, 2026, Hanover Township Sgt. Richard Camasta arrested Adras Vasquez-Gonzalez, 38, of Morristown, following a traffic stop in which the individual allegedly provided false identification.
According to Hanover Township Police, Sgt. Camasta was on patrol when he observed a vehicle with equipment violations and initiated a motor vehicle stop. During the stop, Vasquez-Gonzalez was unable to produce a valid driver’s license and presented only expired vehicle documents. Police said the vehicle was registered to another individual.
Authorities reported that Vasquez-Gonzalez initially identified himself as “Migel Lopez,” both verbally and in writing. When no valid records were found under that name, he allegedly provided a second false identity. Sgt. Camasta was ultimately able to confirm his true identity and determined that his driving privileges had been suspended due to a prior DWI conviction.
Vasquez-Gonzalez was placed under arrest and transported to Hanover Township Police Headquarters for processing. He was charged with hindering, driving while suspended, and multiple motor vehicle violations.
Police also charged the vehicle’s owner, Jose Mendez, 34, of Morristown, for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate the vehicle.
No further information was immediately available.
