Robert Ellis Norris, 22 (top left, above), was at the Bergen County Juvenile Detention Center in Teterboro when authorities discovered his true identity, Ridgefield Park Polie Capt. Daniel Hippe told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
He was immediately charged and brought to the county jail, Hippe said.
Norris was in a car with three other Florida men when a village officer pulled over their Dodge Caravan on Route 46 last Thursday because the driver was talking on a cellphone, the captain said.
They detected the odor of burnt marijuana, obtained consent to search the van and found credit cards, driver’s licenses and checkbooks belonging to more than a dozen other people, Hippe said.
Held on $100,000 bail in the county jail were Adonis Shinholster, 21 (top right, above), Jerrard Green, 24 (bottom right), and Jermaine Armstrong, 19 (bottom left).
Like them, Norris is charged with wrongful impersonation and credit card theft. Police also charged him with hindering for providing a fake ID.
Shinholster also was charged with carrying a small amount of marijuana.
Village police contacted law enforcement authorities in Florida to help them determine the source and scope of the thefts.
