How to Fully Protect Yourself When Facing Legal Issues

There are many ways for you to do this, from basic to obscure, but whichever path you choose to take, you should ensure you are fully insulated and have the adequate support channels in place to prevent you from receiving a harsh punishment or having a mental break.

Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal announced today the arrests of TYRONE GOINS (DOB: 02/14/80; single; and unemployed) of 90 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey and his brother, TRAVIS GOINS (DOB: 01/25/85; single; and employed as a driver) of 44 Brookway Avenue, Englewood, New Jersey. The arrests are the culmination of a three-month-long investigation by detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Investigations Squad under the direction of Chief Robert Anzilotti, along with a multi-jurisdictional burglary task force comprised of detectives from Fort Lee, Paramus, Cliffside Park, Tenafly, Saddle River, and Teaneck police departments.

In response to a reported increase of residential burglaries in the eastern part of Bergen County, detectives from the affected towns met and shared information about the burglaries. As a result, a task force was formed and a joint investigation began.

On the evening of June 8, 2017, task force detectives were conducting physical surveillance in the Borough of Cliffside Park. TYRONE GOINS and TRAVIS GOINS were observed in a vehicle that circled the same blocks for a period of time. Shortly after the vehicle left the area, detectives confirmed that a burglary had been committed to a residence on Washington Avenue in Cliffside Park. Detectives were able to locate the suspects’ vehicle and conduct a motor vehicle stop.

TYRONE GOINS and TRAVIS GOINS were each charged with one count of Burglary, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C18-2A(1), a crime of the 3rd degree, for the Washington Avenue, Cliffside Park burglary along with an additional count of Burglary, for an April 27th, 2017 residential burglary to a Cliffside Park residence on West End Avenue. The investigation is ongoing and more charges are expected.

Tyrone GOINS and Travis GOINS are currently lodged in the Bergen County Jail, pending a detention hearing.

Prosecutor Grewal states that the charges against the defendants are merely accusations and that the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and would also like to thank the Fort Lee, Paramus, Cliffside Park, Tenafly, Saddle River and Teaneck Police Departments for their assistance with this investigation.

Police today arrested the wife of the ISIS fanatic who killed 84 people including at least ten children in Nice using a lorry and a handgun.

It has been revealed that killer Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, 31, a French Tunisian and married father of three, was depressed about the break up of his marriage before he mounted pavements at high speed and ploughed through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in Nice last night.

He had separated from wife Hajer some two years ago following a series of violent arguments, and he was said to have been upset in recent months as their divorce had been finalised.

Today Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said police have arrested his wife, as detectives try to establish his motives and if he had accomplices.

Dramatic footage released today shows the moment he was shot dead by five police officers in the 19-tonne lorry he used as a murder weapon on his mile-long killing spree.

One eyewitness filmed armed officers approaching the cab of the lorry and firing repeatedly through its windscreen and doors before it appears Bouhlel can be heard screaming after being hit by a police bullet and he died slumped in the passenger seat.

Witness Nadar El Shafei told the BBC: ‘He died inside the vehicle – I saw his head [hanging] out of the window, they kept shooting him from all sides just to be sure. Then they asked us to run away in case there were others inside the car or a bomb.’

THE RECORD

PARAMUS – An alert resident may have put an end Thursday to a series of overnight break-ins throughout North Jersey that included incidents in Ridgewood and Allendale.

James M. Rainsford, 47, is also being looked at in connection with similar crimes in North Haledon, Little Falls and elsewhere.

A River Edge resident called Paramus police at 8:41 a.m. to say he saw a person who he believed he recognized from media releases that was wanted for burglaries.

Rainsford was arrested a short time later while walking by a wooded area near Howland Avenue and Spring Valley Road in Paramus by Paramus Police Officers Mark Pinajian, Justin Sicari and Jack Cacamis on active burglary warrants from Allendale and Paterson.

Rainsford was found to be carrying a crack pipe and two small flashlights when he was arrested, according to a press release from Paramus Police.

He was interviewed by detectives from several local agencies and the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office at Paramus Police Headquarters.

Allendale Police have charged Rainsford for a July 17 incident in which he allegedly was caught on video opening an unlocked door at a Franklin Turnpike home, while residents slept. A home alarm system woke them and they dialed 911. Rainsford allegedly fled when the alarm sounded, Allendale Police Det. Michael Dillon said.

Allendale Police compared notes with Norwood and Closter Police who, Dillon said, were familiar with Rainsford because he used to live in the Northern Valley. And they also got help from police in Little Falls, North Haledon and Ridgewood who are investigating their own incidents that may involve Rainsford, Dillon said.
