Ho-Ho-Kus NJ, A explosive new civil rights lawsuit has put a spotlight on Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, challenging the borough’s commitment to its highly publicized “Stigma-Free” status.
William Krywos, a lifelong resident described by his legal counsel as a “son of Ho-Ho-Kus,” has officially filed a lawsuit against the borough, its police department, and Detective Anthony Balestrieri. The complaint alleges systemic discrimination, false arrest, and gross negligence rooted entirely in his autism spectrum disorder.
