Several Ridgewood Police Patrol Officers and a pair of New Jersey State Police Troopers responded to the incident. Although a thorough body search of the person taken into custody by State Troopers, and a search of the bus, failed to produce a weapon, it is not known whether the detainee’s seized luggage was also searched at the scene, or whether such a search required a warrant. No injuries were reported in connection with the dispute.
