• Missing Woman Found Dead After 3 Alarm South Bound Brook Fire (patch.com) — A deadly three-alarm house fire in South Bound Brook drew a major mutual aid response from across Somerset County, including Bridgewater’s Finderne firefighters and Bradley Gardens Rescue Squad. One resident and a firefighter were injured, a missing woman was later found dead in the home, and investigators are still working to determine how the blaze started. Authorities are asking anyone with information, photos, or video to share tips through phone hotlines or the STOPit app.
• Bridgewater Man Arrested on Conspiracy Charges (tapinto.net) — A Bridgewater resident has been charged in a state investigation into alleged high-interest loan schemes, alongside a councilman from Englishtown. State officials say the case involves accusations of usury, conspiracy, and intimidation tied to unlawful lending practices. The charges are allegations, and authorities emphasize their focus on protecting victims from coercive financial conduct.
• N.J. judge targeted students with ICE threats, panel urges removal (molawyersmedia.com) — A state judicial ethics panel says a New Jersey municipal judge treated Bound Brook students far more harshly than students from Bridgewater in truancy cases, and is urging his permanent removal. The committee cited threats involving immigration enforcement, degrading language toward teens, and apparent bias tied to ethnicity and socioeconomic status. The state Supreme Court will decide whether he’s removed from the bench.
