Fair Lawn NJ, Broadway eastbound between 29th Street and Fair Lawn Parkway in Fair Lawn was closed to pedestrians and traffic for over one (1) hour late Wednesday night, 02/17 while Fair Lawn PD and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad Unit investigated a suspicious package left in front of a vacant storefront near the corner of Broadway and 30th Street. An x-ray of the package taken by a Bomb Squad technician showed it to be harmless and the roadway was completely reopened just after 10 PM. Fair Lawn FD Companies 3 & 4, along with Fair Lawn EMS, were placed on standby during the incident as a precaution. The driver of a 4-door grey colored Cadillac Escalade who failed to stop for police officers directing traffic at the scene was apprehended a short distance away and later charged with DUI.
