Arrest Warrant Issued For Former Chatham School Trustee: Report

CHATHAM, N.J. — A warrant was issued for the arrest of a former Chatham school board member after he did not show up for a court date on an impaired driving charge Tuesday, NJ.com reported.

John Nonnenmacher, 52, was scheduled to make his initial appearance at the Joint Municipal Court in Madison Tuesday, but he allegedly did not contact the court or show up in person and the warrant was issued for his arrest, the report said.

The proceeding stems from an impaired driving incident where Nonnenmacher reportedly struck a fire hydrant while driving in the borough and fled the scene, the report said.

He was hit with a slew of summonses after he allegedly struck a fire hydrant while driving in Chatham Borough and fled the scene, police said. He was issued summonses for leaving the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident, driving while suspended, and careless driving.

Public records showed Nonnemacher had been served 16 license suspensions over the course of 21 years, including a suspension without an expiration in January 2014.

Nonnemacher allegedly had a federal court case delayed in March after telling a judge his mother had passed away just minutes before opening statements. Nonnemacher’s lawyer learned was that the attorney’s mom was not dead, and the lawyer was just trying to buy time, according to the New York Post.

Nonnemacher resigned from the Board of Education in December.
