Wyckoff PD Arrest Man Walking Along Route 208 for Active Warrant, Possession of Pills

Police say they arrested a man who was walking on a highway in Wyckoff earlier this month after he was found to have an active warrant for his arrest.

Wyckoff Police responded to Route 208 on March 13 on the report of a pedestrian walking on the shoulder of the highway and identified the man was Kyle E. Wenzel, 27, of Haskell, who was arrested after “a computer check revealed that there was an active warrant for his arrest from Piscataway,” Police Chief Benjamin C. Fox said.

Wenzel was also found to be in possession of seven Alprazolam pills and a prescription bottle with 20 Oxycodone pills that were not under his name, Chief Fox said. Police determined that Wenzel had stolen the pill bottle from a Ridgewood bathroom while assisting a handyman in the home earlier in the day.

Wenzel was charged with possession of controlled dangerous substances and receiving stolen property and was committed to the Bergen County Jail in default of $10,000 bail.
