Shoplifter caught after robbing pharmacy identified as man who stole cellphone tower batteries several months ago, yet he was FREE TO GO under NJ’s Bail Reform
“Thanks to a Fair Lawn police captain, one of two CVS shoplifters caught in the act was also charged with swiping four cellphone tower batteries several months ago, authorities said. Hawthorne couple Michael Wright, 41, and Nicole Paletta, 36 -were carrying nearly $50 worth of items taken from the River Road pharmacy when police arrested them a short time later. Paletta was released pending a court hearing. Wright, however, was held, after Capt. Joseph Dawicki identified him as the burglar who took the batteries from a Saddle River Road tower last Dec. 19. Wright, who was charged with burglary, theft, trespassing and criminal mischief, also had arrest warrants out of Passaic County and Butler. He was sent to the Bergen County Jail, only to have a judge order his release the next day.”
