Madeline Hirsch and Damar F. Palmer, both 27 of Englewood, followed instructions to move a bag of crack cocaine that police said 26-year-old Michael “Mook” Williamson stashed while being chased by police investigating the May 2 shooting, according to an indictment returned this week.
Police found the cocaine but not the gun that they said Williamson used after he was ejected from the game in a Cleveland Street basement. The shooter fired several times but missed his target, they said.
City investigators chased Williamson down three days later after they said he dashed through a backyard and hopped a fence after bailing from a car he was driving on Pindle Avenue.
After obtaining a search warrant for the car, police said they found a loaded .25-caliber semi-automatic handgun that wasn’t used in the shooting on Cleveland Street.

Besides attempted murder, the eight-count indictment returned by a grand jury in Hackensack charges Williamson with various drug and weapons offenses, as well as eluding and disposing of evidence.
Williamson remained held on $250,000 bail today — down from an original $1 million — in the Bergen County Jail. Hirsch and Palmer remained free without bail.
