Police got a call just after 1 o’clock this afternoon of “a male standing adjacent to a vehicle parked in the front lot of Ridgefield Park High School who seemed disoriented and was bleeding,” Molinelli said.
Goodell ignored the orders of the first officer on the scene to turn off his vehicle and instead backed up, nearly hitting him, the prosecutor said.
With police cars chasing, Goodell drove into a cul-de-sac of Elizabeth Street just off Abbott Avenue in Ridgefield, he said. After turning around, Goodell then “intentionally drove head-on into [a] Ridgefield marked” car, Molinelli said.
Police arrested him and took him to Hackensack University Medical Center “with what appear to be self-inflicted wounds to his wrists” with what likely was a box cutter, the prosecutor said.
They also found the body of Tulli, a Garfield High School Class of 2007 graduate, in the passenger seat, he said.
