Fort Lee Man Charged With Threatening to Shoot Police

A Fort Lee man was charged Wednesday with threatening police officers who responded to his Hudson Terrace home after receiving noise complaints, authorities said.

At about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, Fort Lee police officers spoke with resident David Rosenberg, 52, whom they described as being “very belligerent” at the time, according to the Fort Lee Police Department.

But after the incident was over, the same officers were called back to the same address on a second complaint of loud noise, police said.

When they tried to speak with Rosenberg, who allegedly opened the door but left it chained, he “screamed profanities” at them and slammed the door, according to police.

Rosenberg then allegedly told the officers he would shoot the next policemen that came to his apartment, according to police.

Fort Lee police detectives armed with arrest warrants and the Fort Lee Emergency Services Unit were called in, entered the apartment and arrested Rosenberg, finding a Remington 30-06 rifle and “a small amount” of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the apartment in the process, police said.

Rosenberg, who was charged with terroristic threats on law enforcement and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, is currently awaiting arraignment, according to Fort Lee police.
