Police Corporal Michael Glock and Officer Vincent Montalbano got to the Valley Court home just after 9 o’clock Saturday night and found several dozen teens partying with adults, including the parent who hosted the affair, Police Chief Randy Ciocco said.

The officers were rushed to a bathroom, where they found an unresponsive 22-year-old man, the chief said.

“Officers were unable to detect a pulse and the male was not breathing,” he said.

They immediately carried him to the living room and began resuscitating the unconscious man, finding a weak pulse, before members of Westwood Ambulance and the Hackensack University Medical Center Paramedic unit arrived.

An intoxicated 18-yr-old man was taken to Bergen Regional Medical Center by Tri-Boro Ambulance, Ciocco said.

Police are now investigating what happened, with the likelihood of charges filed against the adults.
