WHIPPANY, NJ - A 19-year-old Whippany man was charged with disorderly conduct after his "unruly" actions caused the staff to hit the silent panic alarm on Aug. 16, according to Hanover Police Chief Mark D. Roddy.

According to authorities, Officer Erick Magley responded to the silent alarm triggered at the MedExpress on East Hanover Avenue. Upon arrival, he was advised that a patient became unruly and threw liquid in the lobby area, police said. According to workers, the patient Dylan Young, missed his appointment time and was asked to please wait outside until they could make room for him, police said.

This angered Young, so after leaving the office he returned with a bottle of ice tea and began spilling it and throwing it all over the waiting room, police said.

He then left the office when he was informed the police were called, police said. Magley prepared a complaint summonses for disorderly conduct and criminal mischief and mailed it to Young with a court date.
