Man Shows Up To Rutherford Home, Naked, In High Heels, Police Say
"He proclaimed 'I'm here!' and walked in," said Capt. Patrick Feliciano of the Rutherford police. The alleged incident happened Nov. 11.

RUTHERFORD, NJ — A 39-year-old man who reportedly works as an attorney in Hackensack walked uninvited into a Rutherford, NJ home over the weekend, while clad in only a tight-fitting black T-shirt and black high heels, Rutherford police say.
Justin Christodoro, 39, of Hackensack was arrested and charged in the alleged incident this weekend.
The surprise visit happened Saturday afternoon, Nov. 11: A husband and wife were in their home on Eastern Way in Rutherford, watching TV in their den at 4:30 in the afternoon. That's when police said a man let himself into their home through an unlocked back door. He was wearing only a tight-fitted black T-shirt and black high heels; no pants and no underwear, Capt. Patrick Feliciano told Patch.

"He proclaimed 'I'm here!' and walked in," said Feliciano. "The husband called 911 to report an intruder, but the man left and briskly walked back to his car, a 2017 Honda Accord, that was actually parked in the residents' driveway."
The husband was able to jot down his license plate before the man sped off. The car turned up registered in Hackensack, and Rutherford police notified Hackensack PD "to be on the lookout for the pants-less wonder," said Feliciano.

Later that same night, the same Honda Accord was found parking in a resident's driveway on Lake Avenue in Lyndhurst, with a man sleeping inside. The homeowner called police because he had no idea who the man was.
"Lyndhurst police arrived and the man was wearing the same attire as earlier," said Feliciano. "The car and the man's attire was recognized from the incident we had here in Rutherford."
When Lyndhurst police woke the man, he stepped out of his car, pulled on a pair of sweatpants and police said they found a bag of suspected MDMA (molly) or ecstasy in his car, Lyndhurst police told NorthJersey.com. The man seemed very disoriented and did not know how he got there. He was charged with fourth-degree criminal trespassing in Rutherford, and drug possession in Lyndhurst.
According to the New York Daily News, which obtained a copy of the arrest report, Christodoro told police officers he was an attorney. An attorney by that same name practices in Hackensack.
