Officers responding to a call for service on Waldo Place found Antoine Washington, 21, uncooperative, Lt. Fred Pulice said.
“It was subsequently learned that he was operating the vehicle with a suspended driver’s license,” Pulice said.
Officers were writing summonses when he began interfering with them, the lieutenant said.
At that point, they told Washington that he was being placed under arrest, he said.
Washington “resisted and assaulted the arresting officer” before he was taken into custody, Pulice said.
He was charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and obstruction and sent to the Bergen County Jail. A judge released him pending further court action a short time later, records show.
