A New Milford ex-convict who was once involved in a standoff with authorities and also led police on a manhunt two years later has been identified as the man found dead in the Passaic River over the weekend, Fair Lawn Police said.

The body of Josh Allison-Dzadik, 33, was found Saturday afternoon along the river in Fair Lawn. There were no signs of trauma and police do not suspect foul play.

Allison-Dzadik got into a standoff with police in 2006 and led them on a manhunt in 2008, according to NJ.com. He was sent to jail on aggravated assault on a police officer and eluding police charges, the article said.
