The 2007 Honda Accord was found smashed and abandoned on Waldron Avenue after it struck a fire hydrant around 2 a.m. last Wednesday, Glen Rock Police Chief Dean Ackermann said.
Police found several cellphones inside and began investigating.
The owner of the car, 25-year-old Ajay S. Rathour of Paterson originally reported the vehicle as stolen, Ackermann said.
Rathour later admitted that Ray J. Acevedo, 32, who had a key to the car, took it without his knowledge, the chief said.
Acevedo received summonses for leaving the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident, driving with a suspended driver’s license, operating an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and careless driving, Ackermann said.
