Lt. Jay Wieners and Officers Alfred Keiser, Thomas Armenti, Robert Appel, Zachary Koch and Michael Sprung responded to the Hilton Hotel to investigate a report of Theft of Services by two individuals at 7:21p.m. on Sunday, May 4.

It was also reported that one of the individuals had just left the establishment and was attempting to leave in a red Lincoln. When Officer Keiser arrived on location, he began to check the parking are when a maroon Lincoln began backing out of a parking spot almost striking his patrol vehicle. Officer Keiser stopped the driver, later identified as Susanne Christ, 38, Pomona, New York.

After a brief investigation, Ms. Christy was placed under arrest by Officer Keiser for Driving Under the Influence and transported to Parsippany Police Headquarters where she was processed before later being released pending an appearance in court. She was also charged with Reckless Driving. Officers Sprung and Appel proceeded into the hotel where they were met by a staff member of Ruth’s Chris Steak House. The staff member informed them that a man later identified as Jamey Mead, 35, Netcong ordered food and beverages totaling $98.44 and had no way to pay for them.

The man then left the restaurant to order more drinks at the hotel bar. Officer Appel was already speaking with Mr. Mead when the manager of the hotel informed Officer Sprung that Mr. Mead attempted to charge the drinks to a room in the hotel that he was not registered in. Further investigation revealed that Mr. Mead was not registered at the hotel at all. He was placed under arrest and transported to Parsippany Police Headquarters where he was processed before later being released pending an appearance in court. He was charged with Theft.

While on patrol on Route 46 West, Officers Matthew LaManna and Jaime Mendez observed a black Toyota Rav for drifting in a lane while traveling 35 mph in the right lane at 2:55 a.m. on Saturday, May 3.

The vehicle then abruptly cut across to the left lane and made a left hand turn on Smith Road. The officers attempted to stop the vehicle on Littleton Road, but the vehicle would not stop.

It continued right onto Parsippany Boulevard at a very slow rate of speed before turning into the Tivoli Gardens Apartment Complex.
