PARSIPPANY — Patrol Officers A. Ohlsen and J. Pledger, with assistance from Patrol Sergeant A. Keiser responded to the Parsippany Fire Department’s District 4 Firehouse, located at 39 North Beverwyck Road for a report of criminal mischief, on Sunday, April 26 at 8:30 a.m.
Upon arrival, the officers were informed by individuals that a male suspect vandalized the firehouse by throwing rocks through the windows of the two front garage doors, and side entry door glass, with subsequent damage to the fire apparatus windshield and an electronic message board. The suspect fled the scene prior to police arrival.
While conducting the investigation, Parsippany Police received a call for an intoxicated injured male who fled the North Beverwyck Road 7-11.
The description of the injured male matched that of the suspect. However during the course of the investigation, the suspect returned to the 7-11 as a passenger in a vehicle. He was approached by Officers Ohlsen and Pledger who determined he was the suspect for the criminal mischief to the firehouse. The intoxicated suspect, identified as Mr. Kiefer Corro, 26, West New York, was placed under arrest and transported to Saint Clare’s Hospital by Rockaway Neck Volunteer Ambulance Squad for injuries suffered during the vandalism.
Upon his hospital release, he was transported to Police Headquarters where he was charged with third degree criminal mischief due to the approximate $3,500 in damages.
He was given a bail amount of $5,000 with no 10% option by the Parsippany Municipal Court. He was released on bail pending a court appearance.
