Probation Sentence Served to Men Who Covered Up Fatal Accident, Report Says

Parsippany architect died after falling from rear bumper of Jeep.

A pair of Denville men were sentenced to non-criminal probation Monday after they were charged with covering up a Parsippany accident in which a man fell from the rear bumper of a moving Jeep to his death, according to NJ.com.

Forty-one-year-old Robert Ian Bloch, an architect from Parsippany, died as a result of the accident in 2012.

Anthony G. Moffatt, 40, and Peter Nardi, 41, were indicted on charges brought forward from the Morris County Prosecutor's Office and later entered the county's Pre-Trial Intervention program, NJ.com reported. PTI is a program traditionally for first-time offenders that helps them avoid jail time.
