Village detectives seized 23-year-old Zackery Rosario and recovered the $4,000 motorcycle in Passaic on July 17 with help from their city colleagues, Police Chief Jacqueline Luthcke said.
Passaic police charged Rosario with receiving stolen property, then turned him over to Ridgewood police, who charged him with burglary and theft.
Rosario was released pending a court hearing under New Jersey’s 2017 bail reform law.
He was picked up the very next day on a drug court violation – his third in two months -- and has remained held in the Bergen County Jail since then.
Among his alleged exploits, Rosario tried hitting three separate police vehicles – ramming one from New Milford – during a March 2017 chase, authorities said. He was caught after he bailed out and tried to run, they said at the time.
