Each week, Patch takes a peek at some of the more surprising, shocking, stunning and occasionally silly police-related incidents reported throughout New Jersey for "OMGs from NJ PDs." Closet Criminals: They say if you've done nothing wrong, you have no reason to hide ... really badly. Tell that to the eventual arrestees reportedly found under a pile of clothing trying to evade police, or sneaking into a closet while burglarizing a home after the residents start investigating. Police in Barnegat and Toms River say they ran into those two scenerios, as the Shore-area criminal element has, apparently, been taking cues from R. Kelly and/or 7-year-olds playing hide-and-seek everywhere. Cinderella Story: Haddonfield police didn't have a report …

Abbey says investigations continue, no word yet on any charges.
A victims advocate says at least five people are now accusing a former Delbarton School headmaster of making sexual advances toward them. The latest is a former Morris County resident who now lives in North Carolina. In a notarized statement released by advocate Patrick J. Marker, the alleged victim says the Rev. Luke Travers "kissed my neck and then put his cheek on my cheek" during an intimate confessional session. "Only recently have I begun to understand the effect that Father Luke’s actions had in my life. I do not wish similar pain or confusion on any person," the alleged victim says in the letter. In January, Marker said that alleged victim had not filed charges with any agency. It was not clear if that remained the case. Marker—…

Jan. 18 closing of Route 202 was first opportunity to try local reverse 9-1-1 system
Following a year with two major storms and widespread power outages, the Bernardsville police department has launched an emergency alert system, based on reverse 9-1-1 calls, and was given an opportunity to try out the new system in recent weeks. Following a major accident on Jan. 18 along Route 202 that killed the driver of a cement truck and injured two drivers in passenger vehicles, the Bernardsville police department's Office of Emergency Management used the new Community Emergency Notification System to keep residents informed and updated about the local emergency, Bernardsville police said. The new reverse 9-1-1 calling system was used to notify residents that Route 202 would be closed for more seven hours due to the serious motor …

The complaint that some juveniles had been seen throwing eggs at a home on Deer Creek Drive in Basking Ridge brought Township Patrol Officer Dan Snyder to the neighborhood last Saturday, police reported. Then, while he was resonding to the complaint of criminal mischief, the officer reportedly observed two juveniles who were running away from the area of home where the owner had called police, according to the police report. Snyder eventually tracked down one of the juveniles hiding on the bank of a retention pond in the immediate area, the police report said. The juvenile told Snyder that he had run and hid near the retention pond because one of his friends, another juvenile, had told him to do so, the police report said. Snyder …

Perhaps what they eat can help determine how well they perform in school during mornings.
Although I'm not personally a fan of a big breakfast, when it comes to my children, I've always paid attention to that old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After all, breakfast might be the meal where we have the most control over what they eat. Do we REALLY know what they'll finish/swap or purchase with that school lunch we pack or that lunch money we give them each day? As for dinner, it's sometimes on the run, and some kids are very persnickity anyway about what they will, or won't, eat. Vegetables can do a quick disappearing act, but they don't always end up in the kid's mouth. Older kids can simply disappear if they don't like what's being served. But breakfast often presents a fairly consistent choice, and …

Authorities' determination rules out possibility of solving outstanding disappearance case in Warren.
So far, officials have only been able to conclude the skeleton discovered Sunday near Warrenville Road, in Green Brook, is that of a male—ruling out the possibility of closing the case of Margaret Haddican-McEnroe, from Warren. According to a statement from the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office, a forensic anthropologist Investigator with the New Jersey State Medical Examiner’s Office will be examining the human remains to determine height, approximate age and how long the decedent’s remains were at the site where they were discovered. Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey D. Soriano added that Green Brook and Somerset County detectives are working with the New Jersey Police Missing Persons Unit and they are checking all reports of males …
