Somerset County: Non-Support Warrant Sweep Results In 25 Arrests

Somerset County Sheriff Frank J. Provenzano announced that, from July 21 to 23, 2015, his office conducted a sweep of individuals charged with being delinquent in making child-support payments.

Last week’s operation involved more than 24 Sheriff’s Officers, operating in teams, who served outstanding warrants and made arrests. A total of 25 men and women who owe more than $440,712.91 in child support were arrested.

One individual, Dylan Cremone of North Plainfield, was arrested on an outstanding violation-of-probation, no-bail warrant from Middlesex County.*

“This operation was conducted to remind parents of the importance of making regular child support payments and hopefully renew their commitment to do the right thing,” said Sheriff Provenzano. “Child support is a safety net for many Somerset County families. Children depend on child support for their basic needs such as food, shelter, healthcare and back-to-school clothing. Conducting these roundups gives us the ability to better serve children and families with the financial support they need and deserve.

“The roundup was a great success as far as the statistics show,” he added. “What we don’t see is how many delinquent parents pay up once they know we are looking for them. Knowing that they face possible arrest encourages a delinquent parent to uphold their obligations or face incarceration. It creates a compounding effect of payments that lasts weeks after the roundup.”
