Speziale was being held on $150,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail.
He faces several drug possession charges — including for amphethamine and prescription medications — as well as criminal mischief with damage.
said this afternoon.
The incident occurred last Sunday afternoon, when a quartet of officers responded to a domestic call at a Griner Court home, Fox said.
They found that Speziale “had been in an argument with his parents, during which he caused considerable damage” to their car, as well as doors and windows in their house, the chief said.
Speziale then took off on foot, he said.
The officers found pot and various other drugs during a search of his bedroom, along with syringes, a digital scale and baggies ordinarily used for packaging and selling narcotics on the street, Fox said.
A warrant was then issued for Speziale’s arrest.
On Thursday, Fox went public.
