Mahwah NJ, a Mahwah, New Jersey, man is facing serious charges after police say he was arrested not once, but twice in a single day for allegedly sending vulgar and threatening text messages to women. The incidents highlight the growing problem of cyber-harassment and the swift response of local law enforcement.
The first arrest occurred on Tuesday, August 12, after the Mahwah Police Department received a report from a woman who said she was receiving harassing messages that were “threatening in nature and contained pornographic images,” according to Capt. Michael Blondin.
A Quick Arrest and a Second Offense
Responding officers quickly identified the suspect as John LaBruna, 32. He was arrested and charged with cyber-harassment before being released around 11:30 p.m., pending a court hearing.
But his freedom was short-lived. Just 30 minutes later, police received a report from a second woman who had also received “vulgar and harassing text messages” from LaBruna. Police say the messages continued until around 3 a.m.
LaBruna was arrested again the next morning. This time, the charge of cyber-harassment was placed on a warrant, and he was transported to Bergen County Jail, where he is being held pending a hearing.
The Mahwah Police Department is investigating additional reports of harassing messages sent by LaBruna. They are asking anyone who believes they may have been a victim to contact them at (201) 529-1000. This case serves as a powerful reminder for anyone who experiences harassment to contact authorities immediately.
