Man Lied About Thanksgiving Armed Robbery: Hackettstown Police

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — Hackettstown police say a man who reported being robbed at gunpoint by a taxi driver was drunk at the time, and was never robbed.

Alfonzo XI Tzib, of Hackettstown, told police he was robbed at gun point early Thanksgiving morning by a taxi driver. At the time, Tzib told police the driver picked him up at a Dover bar, and robbed him near the Hackettstown Quick Chek.

Now, police are saying Tzib was drunk at the time, and he found the money that he claimed had been stolen.

On Jan. 8, Tzib was charged with causing a false public alarm and was released with a court date.
