HOBOKEN A 63-year-old Jersey City man who was arrested after admitting he beat a 68-year-old Hoboken man with a mop handle claims the man he beat was a loan shark who threatened him with a hunting knife over an unpaid debt, police reports said.

James Ladson, 63, of Hoboken Avenue in Jersey City, was charged with aggravated assault, criminal mischief and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, reports said.

Police were called to Jackson and Third streets Monday at 3 p.m. on the report that a man had assaulted another man and was hitting parked cars with a large stick, reports said.

Ladson admitted that he had been involved in a fight, but said he had defended himself from an angry loan shark. Police searched the area but were unable to find the knife or the mop handle, police said.

Off topic: I don't know why -- but this cheap & perhaps kind of dangerous toy is really the thing cats love most. It is merely few twists of cardboard & a spring wire.

I thought it was a DIY grassroots attempt to sell LITM for 1.5 million.

It is a great movie -- and I assume you know about this -- but maybe post here too!

I'm telling you -- now or never -- we need to get Abramson to book all the live acts for the Landmark Loews -- and then on other nights have Bollywood movies -- the place will just take off -- NYC people and North & Central Jersey people will flock here via the Journal Square PATH station. It will be rolling in money -- and can become a BAM type thing! Can even get famous theater companies soon after !

I was impressed with the large turnout --it was a great group! Anyone have photos to post?

I wish Abramson could take over Landmark Loews Theatre in Journal Square -- we need him here and he will not stand out in Brooklyn!

Police: Animal cruelty charges pending for Jersey City dog owner who left pet to die on hot tar roof

Published: June 2, 2013 12:07 PM

Neighbors say owners left their pet Yorkie caged on the roof of a building all day Friday. (June 2, 2013)

JERSEY CITY - Police in Jersey City tell News 12 New Jersey that animal cruelty charges are pending after a small dog was left in the blistering heat on a rooftop with no food or water.

Neighbors say owners left their pet Yorkie caged on the roof of a building all day Friday, in the sweltering mid-90s temperatures.

Jersey City Animal Control took photos of the Yorkie while it was in the metal cage, but was unable to retrieve the dog in time to save it.

Authorities say the owners eventually cooperated, letting them retrieve the dog from the roof after it had died. Officials also say the owners admitted that they put the dog on the roof so neighbors wouldn't be bothered by its barking.

Jersey City fire officials are trying to find the source of an oil leak that was discovered in a catch basin at 464 2nd St. in Downtown Jersey City.

A passerby reported the leak at about 4:30 this afternoon., said Jersey City Fire Director Armando Roman.

Hazmat and Hudson Regional personnel are at the scene with the Jersey City Fire Department and Roman said they are awaiting the arrival of a unit from the state Department of Environmental Protection.

Great to see something open there!

I agree -- all of NJ should consolidate to something along the lines of County level -- rather than the current 565 municipalities

North Bergen police arrest 12 on prostitution charges, say they monitor websites' ads

NORTH BERGEN -- Following a six-week investigation, township police arrested 11 women, including a 72-year-old, and a man on prostitution and other charges, Police Capt. Patrick Irwin said yesterday.

The 72-year-old woman was charged with promoting prostitution.

An employee of the Days Inn, on Tonnelle Avenue near 29th Street, called in a tip March 13, expressing concern that illegal activity might be taking place in one of the hotel rooms, Irwin said.

When police arrived, the suspects had already checked out. But the tip launched an investigation that led to the arrests of the 12 individuals at three hotels, a "spa," and a private home in the township, Irwin said.

After receiving the tip, officers began monitoring ads that appeared on craigslist.com and backlist.com advertising for "escorts" who worked out of hotels.
Posing as "johns," officers called and scheduled "dates" with the "escorts," Irwin said.

As a result of the investigation the following individuals were charged with prostitution:
Nora Moya, 26, of Hoboken; Leidiane Silve-Souza, 23, Paula Dias Denoni, 21, of Newark, Autiavise Webb, 20, Nicole Murray, 24, and Ciara Wilson, 22, of Ohio; Herminia Lozada, 28, Migyeong Yun, 39, and Jamey Yoo, 42, of New York; and Desiree Lopez, 22, of Hackensack.

Young Chung, 72, of New York, and Rodrigo Rosales-Ponce, 32, of Union City, were charged with promoting prostitution.

Webb was additionally charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and Moya was charged with hindering apprehension.

Five women were charged with engaging in prostitution at the Day's Inn, along with one woman each at the Super 8 Motel, at 2800 Columbia Ave., and the Howard Johnson, at 1300 Tonnelle Avenue, police said.

In addition, three people were arrested at the "Wellness Hands and Healing Spa," at 7704 Kennedy Blvd., two women for allegedly engaging in prostitution and the 72-year-old for allegedly promoting prostitution, police said.

An alleged prostitute and Rosales-Ponce were arrested a private residence on Cottage Avenue off 46th Street, police said.

"Our department prides itself on keeping up with technology and being on the cutting edge of public safety," Police Chief Robert Dowd said.

"These skills were enormously useful here, as our officers were able to monitor various websites in real time to ascertain the locations and times of impending criminal

Jeffery Moore appears in Central Judicial Processing in Jersey City.

A Jersey City man was charged with criminal sexual contact after a client said he groped her breast during a massage at a Jersey City spa, police said.

The man, Jeffery Moore, 49, of Jersey City, made his first appearance in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City this afternoon on a single charge of criminal sexual contact.

According to a criminal complaint, Moore, a massage therapist at Club Aqua, a day spa located at The Beacon in Jersey City, was giving a massage to a woman on May 4, when he fondled the woman's breast, reports state.

The woman reported it to police at the East District, officials said.

Moore's bail was to be set at a later date, but he was told not to have any contact with the victim in the case.

A manager at Club Aqua was not immediately available, but a worker at the spa told The Jersey Journal that Moore "was no longer with" the day spa.

I think a lot of people turned out Downtown to vote for Fulop & Osborne because they want to see the reval stopped.

As far as chains go -- this one is pretty good and very cheap -- Moe's Mondays -- $5 any burrito, chips and drink -- if you find yourself up that way!

Did the CIA test LSD in the New York City subway system?

By PHILIP MESSING
New York Post
March 14, 2010

On Nov. 28, 1953, Frank Olson, a bland, seemingly innocuous 42-year-old government scientist, plunged to his death from room 1018A in New York’s Statler Hotel, landing on a Seventh Avenue sidewalk just opposite Penn Station.

Olson’s ignominious end was written off as an unremarkable suicide of a depressed government bureaucrat who came to New York City seeking psychiatric treatment, so it attracted scant attention at the time.

But 22 years later, the Rockefeller Commission report was released, detailing a litany of domestic abuses committed by the CIA. The ugly truth emerged: Olson’s death was the result of his having been surreptitiously dosed with LSD days earlier by his colleagues.

The shocking disclosure led to President Gerald Ford’s apology to Olson’s widow and his three children, who accepted a $750,000 civil payment for his wrongful death.

But the belated 1975 mea culpa failed to close a tawdry chapter of our nation’s past. Instead it generated more interest into a series of wildly implausible “mind control” experiments on an unsuspecting populace over three decades.

Much of this plot unfolded here, in New York, according to H.P. Albarelli Jr., author of “A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments.”

“For me, in countless ways the Olson story is a New York City story,” said Albarelli, a former lawyer in the Carter White House, who has written extensively about biological warfare and intelligence matters. “The CIA itself was created and initially composed of wealthy men who came from Wall Street and New York City law firms.”

Olson was a research scientist assigned to the CIA’s Special Operations Division, at Ft. Detrick, Md., who was performing top secret research relating to LSD-25, a powerful new drug whose properties were barely understood. Could psychedelic drugs be used to get enemy combatants to lay down their arms, or work as a truth serum on reluctant prisoners?

Albarelli spent more than a decade sifting through more than 100,000 pages of government documents and his most startling chestnut might be his claim that the intelligence community conducted aerosol tests of LSD inside the New York City subway system.

“The experiment was pretty shocking — shocking that the CIA and the Army would release LSD like that, among innocent unwitting folks,” Albarelli told The Post.

A declassified FBI report from the Baltimore field office dated Aug. 25, 1950 provides some tantalizing support for the claim. “The BW [biological weapon] experiments to be conducted by representatives of the Department of the Army in the New York Subway System in September 1950, have been indefinitely postponed,” states the memo, a copy of which the author provided to The Post

You mean there really was a person named Frank Hague -- I thought he was just a character on Boardwalk Empire...

I am sure some new bar (with food) will open in no time.

Que Sera Sera -- but the times they are a changing..

I love how the MTA subway maps always have a white area on this side of the Hudson -- even though they show the PATH stations in Manhattan -- but with so many New Yorkers moving Downtown -- that will soon change too!
