Hoboken Businesses Face Unruly Patrons On Easter Weekend: Cops

HOBOKEN, NJ — A pair of Hoboken businesses faced unruly customers to kick off their Easter weekends, including a simple assault at a local store and a “highly intoxicated” man in Dunkin’ Donuts, police say.

According to the Hoboken Police Department, the first incident took place around 9:38 a.m. on Friday, after officers received a report of someone threatening the employees of a store near 4th and Adams streets.

On arrival, the officers arrested Julian Villafane, 22, of Jersey City, who was later charged with making terroristic threats, harassment and simple assault.

Workers told officers that the assault took place when they asked Villafane – who they alleged has shoplifted from the store in the past – to leave the premises. At that time, he allegedly “threatened” the staff and punched one of them in the face, police said.

DUNKIN’ DONUTS ARREST

Another arrest took place around 10:26 a.m. on Friday, when officers received a report about a disturbance inside the Dunkin’ Donuts near 7th and Washington streets, police said.

When officers arrived on the scene, they allegedly found David Intriago-Baque, 23, of Bayonne, “highly intoxicated” and yelling at people passing by the store, police stated.

Police issued Intriago-Baque a summons for disorderly conduct. Due to his level of intoxication, police called an ambulance and emergency responders transported him to Hoboken University Medical Center, authorities said.

While at the hospital, police found a small bag of suspected marijuana in Intriago-Baque’s possession. Authorities also discovered that he had two outstanding warrants.

Police charged Intriago-Baque with possession of CDS marijuana, possession of CDS paraphernalia, and two counts of bail jumping (out of Bayonne and Hoboken).
