After Taco Bell Dispute, Man Charged With Weapons Possession In Hoboken

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Hoboken police say they arrested a New York City man on Wednesday on five outstanding warrants, one of those related to an incident at Taco Bell earlier this month.

Police say that at 1:15 p.m. on Feb. 6, they responded at the Taco Bell at 38 Hudson Place, near the train station, on a report of a person with a knife.

"The person in question, who had already left when officers arrived, had brandished a knife while yelling at employees, who say the suspect inquired about employment prior to the dispute."

Police added, "As he left the store, he stole a Taco Bell advertisement poster."

Officer Jessica Pizanie was able to identify the suspect as Justino Ramos.

A warrant was issued charging Ramos, 57, of New York City with theft and weapons possession.

This past Wednesday, Officer Anthony Olivera spotted Ramos, and he was arrested at Third and Bloomfield streets around 3:40 p.m., police say.

Police say two of his other warrants were issued by Hoboken and two by Secaucus.

Ramos was taken to the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
