Yes I know its in mansfield but customers going to CVS

Bug3Is the pharmacy at Mansfield Shop Rite closing? The article said the list of closures was not available yet.
moderateMike I'm guessing if the list is not available yet, your question can't be answered. Maybe give the store a call directly. If that is your pharmacy, I'd gather they will let you know.

Hackettstown man admits to multi million dollar fraud.
https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/2021/02/nj-man-73-pleads-guilty-to-multi-million-dollar-bank-fraud.html
What I don't understand is how one can make a fraudulent infusion of $7 million in cash to a bank? I would think someone actually confirmed it somehow.

Stymie "Big drug bust in town. Excellent work."
Actually pretty sad story. Guess it depends on how you look at things.

Metsman The Police are doing their job even when you don't see it. A good bust that will stick takes effort, alot of intelligence and planning.
Good job HPD and all other jurisdictions!
Jim King:
I don't think dodgebaal meant it as being negative in the sense of police work (I could be wrong). I think it was more in reference to having a huge amount of drugs in town being sold and/or manufactured. At least, that is how I understood the comment to be as.
Excellent job HPD!
The HPD has been incredible in responding to the numerous situations involving the house. This is not the first time the house was raided. They have been to that house no less than three dozen times in the past three years. Residents of Laurie Terrace are have been forced to live in fear of what goes on in that house!
Good but not good , how is the main occupant, the son of the legal owners of the house, not charged with the major drug charges like the rest of the non familial occupants ?? A misdemeanor charge when he was present during the raid and arrest yesterday morning at 6am?? Hmmmm?? Something doesn’t smell right since this is the 2nd big drug bust at that home in less than a year and mr Alec doesn’t get the big charges??
H-Town Mama Man charged in Capitol riot is linked to Oath Keepers, seen with Roger Stone on Jan. 6, prosecutors say
Roberto Minuta, 36, of Hackettstown, N.J., is accused of obstructing the formal counting of presidential election votes, trespassing and attempting to cover up his crimes.

A New Jersey man authorities say is a member of the right-wing Oath Keepers, and acted as a bodyguard for a Trump ally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, is free on bail after being charged with taking part in the U.S. Capitol attack that day. R...

A quick google search shows he lives/lived in those houses going up rt. 46 past Target. Hackettstown mailing address, but pays Mt. Olive taxes and attends Mt. Olive schools. That solves that...
Google him - he has had a few addresses -many of them simultaneously - though I don't think he'll be our neighbor again
4catmom I like how he lived at seven different addresses in 1970 when he wasn't born until 1984 or 85.
And 11 Green Hill Road has been owned by the same person since 2005... and it's not Roberto Minuta. It would be a hell of a commute from Mount Olive to his tattoo parlor in upstate NY every day.

Masks Fortheugly Hey "Masks Fortheugly",
Whatever happened to "blue lives matter?" This guy was spotted in several pictures and video “aggressively” berating and taunting police guarding the Capitol.
You call that "backing the blue" as a "local hero"?
masks forthepretty He was our neighbor in Mount Olive until just after the insurrection, when they fled to Texas. They were renting that house on Green Hill. And he did commute to upstate to the tattoo shop. Seemed like such lovely people and good parents, with the exception of indoctrinating their children with conspiracy theories... It's a shame how crazy people can be behind closed doors.

Phil D. Juvenile pedestrian struck by grey HR-V at Grand Ave/Main Street on Saturday... the driver stuck around and spoke with the victim after the accident, but left in her vehicle when the victim left on foot. The pedestrian was later determined to be injured and transported to the hospital via ambulance. The police are now looking for the driver.

3wbdwnj The original post in the Nextdoor app Saturday evening stated it was a Civic. I'm sure it's easy to get them confused if you're already in shock from getting hit. I'm glad they got some video. Hopefully, they'll find more that either show the incident or the car's plate more clearly, or both.
I would think the person will come forward. I'd bet the young lady who was hit said she was fine and the driver left. Then the girl realized she was actually injured. The circumstances are unclear regarding what happened. The pedestrian could have been at fault for a variety of reasons. Or perhaps the driver was. Either way the driver should have stayed and called the police regardless if the pedestrian stated she was injured or not. In my opinion of course.
Any reasonable adult should have stayed with the victim who was a child and insisted on help being called.
ImOnSaxton Per the link provided:
Update: The driver of the vehicle has been identified; no further information will be released at this time, Hackettstown police reported Monday evening. Below is the original post:

Remember when 46/Main Street was closed down for hours a few weeks ago? Here's why:
https://patch.com/new-jersey/hackettstown/hackettstown-man-faces-child-endangerment-charges-june-1-fire
Countryside
At the time it happened, I had been wondering why they needed to rescue a 2 year old, and was wondering why no adult was mentioned. Apparently that's why, though it makes you wonder what started the blaze as well. That could be the key to a lot, none of it good. I don't even want to think about the worst possible scenario.
Phil,
I agree. This could have turned out to be a lot worse. Thank God the child was saved and no one else was hurt. Property can be replaced, lives can't.
Either way, no matter how it started, that child should have not been left alone. I can't imagine the fear that poor baby was in while trying to be rescued.

Unfortunately him and his son have served notice that they will not be productive members of Society. Our justice system keeps releasing these vermin back on the streets to continue their reckless behavior. It will probably take someone’s life to be lost for justice to be served and then it’s too late.
