One more for the Stupid Crime File
Add this to the Rahway NJ Stupid Crime File:
A 53-year-old city man was charged after scuffling with officers who tried to arrested him on drug charges, police said yesterday.
Eddie McClary of Park Street was riding a motorized scooter the wrong way on East Cherry Street, a one-way street, shortly after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Lt. Kevin Sherwood said.
Officers stopped McClary near the intersection of West Milton Avenue and Broad Street. As he was being questioned, McClary tried to discard a bottle that contained what was later determined to be heroin, Sherwood said.
East Cherry is downtown near the police station. The guy also probably got summonses for an unregistered motor vehicle & reckless driving. Previous entries in the Rahway Stupid Crime File include: a local man who robbed a convenience store using his own car, then parked it in front of his house. & another convenience store robber who was chased & caught by the Rahway police bicycle patrol; & the kid who threw his drugs into Rahway River & then crawled up into the storm sewer system, so the cops called in the fire rescue unit, popped some manholes & waited until the kid encountered a few rats.
