HANOVER TOWNSHIP — On Sunday, March 1, 2026, Hanover Township Sgt. Richard Camasta arrested Adras Vasquez-Gonzalez, 38, of Morristown, following a motor vehicle stop that led to multiple charges, including hindering apprehension.
Sgt. Camasta was on patrol when he observed a vehicle with equipment violations and initiated a traffic stop. The driver, later identified as Vasquez-Gonzalez, was unable to provide a valid driver’s license and only presented expired documents for the vehicle, which was registered to another individual.
During the stop, Vasquez-Gonzalez provided the name “Migel Lopez” both verbally and in writing; however, no driver’s license was found under that name. He then provided a second false identity. Sgt. Camasta was ultimately able to confirm his true identity and determined that his driving privileges were suspended due to a prior DWI conviction.
Vasquez-Gonzalez was taken into custody and transported to police headquarters for processing. He was charged with hindering, driving while suspended, and multiple motor vehicle violations.
The vehicle’s owner, Jose Mendez, 34, of Morristown, was also charged with allowing a suspended driver to operate his vehicle.
Both individuals were released pending their court appearances.
