Irrational Man Shouted At People To 'Look At My Abs,' At Wayne Mall: Police

WAYNE, N.J. — A man who was acting irrationally and yelling at police officers Saturday at the Willowbrook Mall was arrested, police said.

Sgt. James Celentano was working an off-duty plainclothes assignment near the mall when he responded to a report of someone acting irrationally and causing a disturbance, said Detective Capt. Laurence Martin.

Celentano found Raul R. Rojas, 34, who demanded that Celentano "take control of the situation." The report said Rojas walked into the GNC store, lifted his shirt and screamed "Look at my abs you fat boys," Martin said.

Rojas also told Celentano to, "Shut your mouth. It's a democracy. I am under control, dictator. Did you pay your taxes? I have Hollywood behind me 667," the captain said.

Rojas also yelled: "I need you to get over this and look the other way. Call the Sheriff's (sic). I'm in transition. Don't be an idiot. You're an idiot, fatboy. I hate you fatboy. Control the scene. Shut up, throw a beating on me. I need you to be identified by DNA on my orders, full retaliation," Martin said.

The Wayne First Aid Squad took Rojas to St. Joseph's Hospital in Wayne for observation, Martin said.

Police found that Rojas had a $550 outstanding warrant issued for his arrest out of Knowlton Township. He was released on his own recognizance, police said.
