A 56-year-old Passaic man was charged after an alleged encounter in Hasbrouck Heights in which a person protected by a restraining order reportedly had to swerve to avoid a vehicle, according to DailyVoice.com. The report identifies the man as Faredon Abida and attributes the account to Hasbrouck Heights police. The charges are allegations, not findings of guilt.
The report says the person notified police on Sept. 18 and that Abida was entered into the National Crime Information Center as wanted. Three days later, officers located his vehicle in the Rutherford area and stopped it in a parking lot in East Rutherford, the report states. Abida was arrested without incident and booked into Bergen County Jail. The charges listed were fourth-degree attempted assault by auto and fourth-degree violation of a restraining order.
The order’s status is not specified
The type of restraining order matters to its legal status. New Jersey Courts says a Final Restraining Order remains in effect unless changed by a court. The account of Abida’s arrest does not say whether the order involved in the allegation was final, so that guidance cannot establish the order’s status or duration in this case.
Local support and unresolved details
Bergen County’s Alternatives to Domestic Violence lists a confidential hotline, 201-336-7575, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for people seeking support, according to the county’s resources page. This service information does not indicate whether anyone involved in this case sought assistance.
The account does not identify the kind of NCIC entry made, provide a court disposition for the charges, or say whether the restraining order was final. Those details remain unestablished in the reporting cited here.
