PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Police Department received a 911 call reporting a bomb was located in the basement of Parsippany Inn and Suites, located at 2939 Route 10 East.
Patrol Sergeants A. Keiser and E. Conklin, Detectives A. Morelli and J. Keiling, Patrol Officers P. Kolln and A. Ohlsen responded to the scene.
Upon arrival of the responding units a perimeter of the property was set up and the area was evacuated. Mount Tabor Fire Department along with Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance were dispatched to stand by at the Mount Tabor Fire Department’s building on South Powder Mill Road.
During the evacuation all residents were given the option to be transported to Mount Tabor Firehouse on South Powder Mill Road due to the low temperatures by Parsippany Office of Emergency Management.
Morris County Bomb Squad checked the premise and determined the area was clear and no threats to the public were present. All residents were transported back from the Powder Mill Firehouse and allowed back into the building.
Upon further investigation by Detectives A. Morelli and J. Keiling information was developed that the caller was Brian Miller, 49, Parsippany, and was possibly in the area of the Dover train station.
Detectives located Mr. Miller in Dover and a short time later he was placed under arrest for False Public Alarm.
His bail was set at $35,000 and was also found to have an active arrest warrant from Rahway Municipal Court in the amount of $150.00.
Mr. Miller was remanded to the Morris County Correctional Facility until his court date or he posts bail.
