John F. Connors, 44, "placed fictitious calls to 911 on different dates," bringing police to the victim's home each time, Teaneck Deputy Police Chief Andrew McGurr said.
These weren't only illegal actions on their own, the deputy chief said: They also violated not one but two permanent restraining orders against him.

ATTENTION: The defendant has a twin brother, U.S. Air Force Technical Sgt. James P. Connors, a highly-decorated and respected military veteran and Teaneck firefighter who was a 911 first responder (see photo above). "Jimmy" Connors completed seven tours over the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and has been a mentor to more than 400 fellow servicemen and servicewomen, many of whom had drug or emotional problems.

John F. Connors spent a little over two months in the Bergen County Jail earlier this year for an April 30 stalking and burglary.
He previously served six months in the county lockup for a harassment conviction out of Hillsdale, records show.
John Connors's criminal history dates back more than 25 years, records show.
It includes arrests in multiple towns for, among other offenses, aggravated assault, harassment, contempt, obstruction, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and aggravated assault on a police officer, according to jail records.
Teaneck police arrested Connors on Oct. 5 and sent him to the Bergen County Jail on charges that include stalking, harassment, multiple restraining order violations and calling 911 for no valid reason.
A judge subsequently refused to release Connors, who remains held in the county lockup as the case against him proceeds.
