The motorist also was driving while on the suspended list, it turned out.
Lt. James Corcoran stopped the 1994 Ford Explorer just over the Maple Avenue bridge just after noon on Saturday, Detective Sgt. Brian Metzler told CLIFFVIEW PILOT this afternoon.
The driver, 42-year-old Marquette V. Henderson of Paterson, gave the officer bogus information, leading to a search that turned up a bag of synthetic marijuana and another bag of real pot, he said.
Herderson “had a pocket knife in his waistband and another pocket knife in a rear pants pocket,” Metzler said.
Corcoran found the cleaver between the driver’s seat and center console, the bats under the seat and both a machete and butcher knife in the rear cargo area, the sergeant said.
Henderson was being held on $10,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail on assorted weapons and drug charges, as well as giving false information to police, among other offenses. He also was issued motor vehicle summonses.
