Arthur J. Garlick, 24, was released on a summons after his 89-year-old grandmother alerted police Sunday night that he’d snatched her car keys and took off in the vehicle after an argument, Police Chief Benjamin Fox said.
He was charged with taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent.
Garlick was arrested on charges of stealing the elderly woman’s car from a Wyckoff church parking lot as she worked the June 3, 2014 Election Day polls.
Police said he sold it for $200 cash and $150 worth of heroin.
A month later, Hawthorne police arrested Garlick on heroin charges.
Then, in October, Wyckoff police picked him up yet again on charges of breaking into his grandmother’s house after they found him sleeping in her backyard shed.
A screen had been removed and a rear window to the house broken, after which a bedroom door was pried open, Fox told CLIFFVIEW PILOT at the time.
