STONE HARBOR – Sgt. Greg Jackson observed a Chevy SIN stopped in the marked bike lane of Second Ave. unloading lumber into a dumpster Aug. 26 2014 at approximately 8:07 a.m.
Bicycles were observed leaving the bike lane into traffic to avoid the vehicle. After repeated instructions to move the vehicle the driver, now known as Abel Hernandez-Antolin, 33, of Millville, indicated to the officer that he would move once he was finished unloading the lumber. This prompted Sgt. Jackson to conduct a motor vehicle stop which soon revealed that the driver was unlicensed and currently suspended to drive in New Jersey. He was also found to have a NAC hit (National Crime Information Center) out of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department for failing to appear for a fourth degree crime of exhibiting false documents. It was also discovered that he had one criminal warrant out of Bridgeton for receiving stolen property, $350 bail, one traffic warrant out of the Bridgeton Municipal Court for unlicensed driver, $550 bail, and one traffic warrant from the WSP for seat belts and being a suspended driver, $750 bail.
Hernandez-Antolin was arrested, his vehicle impounded, he was processed, and turned over to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department for transport back to Cumberland County. He was additionally charged with motor vehicle violations in Stone Harbor; unlicensed and driving while suspended.
Due to increased complaints from the public concerning vehicles and walkers in the marked bicycle lanes, the Stone Harbor Police Department has increased patrols to address these issues. The public is reminded that marked bike lanes are for bicycles only.
The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations and the defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
