Edgewater police released the names, however: Ramona Mercado Vasquez, a 26-year-old Dominican citizen, and Adonis Sepulveda, 30, also Dominican and a U.S. citizen.
Both were ordered held in the Bergen County Jail by a Municipal Court judge in Edgewater following their arrests yesterday by detectives from Molinelli’s Special Investigations Unit.
