Local police cleared the floor after the North Haledon man, 53, made what were characterized as alarming phone calls from his room at the Sheraton Mahwah Hotel in Mahwah late Thursday, April 14.
A Bergen County Regional SWAT Team and Regional Crisis Negotiation Team were summoned.
The man apparently believed he was being either tracked or followed to the hotel -- also known as the Crossroads -- at the confluence of Routes 287, 17 and 202 in Mahwah, responders told Daily Voice.
