Fort Lee Man Pinned Down Boy, Punched Him: Prosecutor

A Fort Lee man was arrested Friday after he allegedly pinned a boy on the floor and struck him several times, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said.

Fort Lee police officers responded to an apartment at 2100 Linwood Ave. after a 911 call placed from the residence was terminated without any information being received from the caller, Molinelli said in a press release.

Once there, police officers found a juvenile male with bruises on his face and neck, Molinelli said.

The juvenile told detectives that Jordan Miller, 47, pinned him to the floor and struck him multiple times, Molinelli said.

Miller, a married baggage handler, was charged with one count of endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated assault, the prosecutor said.

Miller was remanded to Bergen County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail with no 10 percent option, Molinelli said. If released on bail, he must surrender his passport and have no contact with the alleged victim. He is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 10.
