Moonachie Police Chief Richard Behrens said Officers Matthew Veltri and Frank Tamargo stopped Damian Roscoe Brooks, 39, of Elkton, for driving recklessly on eastbound Route 46 in Teterboro, NJ, which is 17 miles outside of Manhattan.
After having him step out of his 2012 Honda Accord, the officers spotted several open alcoholic beverage containers and a Glock 9mm that turned out to be loaded with hollow-point bullets, Behrens said.
The chief said Brooks, who’s a mechanic, maintenance worker and handyman, registered a .08% blood-alcohol level at headquarters.
He was charged with illegal weapons and ammunition offenses and issued several traffic summonses before being released to a responsible adult pending a court hearing under New Jersey’s 2017 bail reform law.
