Ridgewood NJ, A former Village of Ridgewood employee allegedly forced his way into the Village’s East Glen Avenue Recycling Center on Wednesday afternoon and was being sought by Ridgewood police officers for questioning in connection with the incident. The Recycling Center was closed at the time due to construction taking place at the Ridgewood Water treatment facility next door.  Reportedly, the individual forced his way through a closed gate at approximately 2:30 PM and entered the facility despite being ordered no to do so by an on-duty Village employee.  While inside, the suspect allegedly removed recyclable materials from his truck and threw them on the ground as he engaged in a verbal argument with the Recycling Center employee.  Police were notified, but the individual had fled the scene prior to their arrival.  Anyone who witnessed the incident should contact the Ridgewood Police Department at 201-652-3900.
