Ridgewood NJ, a late Monday afternoon, 06/27, dispute on a Greyhound bus heading southbound on Route 17 in Ridgewood, during which an adult male passenger allegedly threatened another man with a handgun, resulted in the arrest of an individual who was reportedly wanted in New York State for failure to pay child support.
