Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik said his officers didn't have to go far to find Keith Frison, 50. He was being held in the Passaic County Jail for skipping court, the sheriff said.
One of Berdnik's officers using an automated license plate reader found the 2012 Dodge Durango parked outside the Broadway store. It had been reported stolen out of Newark three days earlier, he said.
Various area surveillance video showed Frison operating the vehicle, Berdnik said.
In one, Frison is seen "making a right turn from Summer Street and onto Broadway, where he proceeded to park the Durango by the liquor store," the sheriff said.
He then got out and began to talk with several people, Berdnik said.
Frison was charged with receiving stolen property and remained held in the Passaic County Jail, the sheriff said.
