It was determined that Taylor was in a room at the Travelodge Inn, 625 Route 46.  Upon arrival, Parsippany Police confirmed that Taylor was barricaded within the hotel room with his children. The Morris County Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT) subsequently responded, gained entry, and arrested Taylor.  There were no injuries reported as the result of the incident.

This incident remains under investigation, which is being conducted by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Parsippany Police Department.  Due to the status of the investigation, no additional information will be released at this time.
