Police Blotter: Arrests, Investigations and Assists

The week of Feb. 4 through Feb. 10 was a relatively routine one for the Fort Lee Police Department, who had seen at least three consecutive busy weeks of arrests and investigations in January. The local police arrested 16 people—down one from the previous week—on charges including failure to appear and DWI. There were 24 investigations—down significantly from the week prior—and Fort Lee police assisted outside state and county agencies on five separate occasions. There were 43 motor vehicle accidents in the borough—a decrease of six from the previous week—and police responded to just 19 active alarms. Here's a rundown of police activity for the week of Jan. 28 through Feb. 3 provided to Patch at the discretion of the Fort Lee Police Department:
