Prosecutor: No Arrests, Charges After Armed Man Removed From Morris Home

A potentially dangerous situation was simmered after police intervention in Hanover Township Tuesday night when authorities responded to a home where a man was brandishing a gun, Prosecutor Fredric Knapp announced.

Law enforcement from multiple agencies responded to the home in Hanover Township and made contact with the man, allegedly armed, who voluntarily came out of the home without incident, Knapp said.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital and evaluated, Knapp said. No arrests were made and no charges were lodged, however, because the incident is being treated as a domestic incident at this time.

According to nj.com, the home belongs to former Morris Plains Police Chief James Abbondanzo. The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office would not identify anyone involved in the incident because of its domestic dispute nature.
