ROSELAND, NJ - In the early morning hours of Tuesday, Mar. 26, Roseland Police Officer Michael Gibbons alerted headquarters to two individuals he reportedly saw breaking into cars in the area of Third Avenue, Roseland. Within minutes, he escaped injury, made an arrest, and assisted with a stolen car recovered in Parsippany.

At about 2:20am, Gibbons called in two individuals he reportedly witnessed on foot breaking into cars on Third Avenue. He was able to make one arrest, while a second individual ran on foot, and another remained in a second car.

The suspect on foot is described as:

Black male
wearing all black including a black skullcap
last seen running in the area of 502 Eagle Rock Avenue, at the end of Third Avenue

The individual driving the second car, described as a white male, reportedly attempted to use his car to attack Gibbons. The officer jumped back into his patrol car, and was not injured. The police car is believed to have sustained driver-side door damage.

The car was determined by police to be a 2012 Toyota Sienna wagon, stolen out of Lakewood. The driver then sped off, followed by Gibbons who was able to follow the car as it drove onto Eisenhower Parkway, and then Route 280 West.

After reportedly driving at speeds over 100 miles-per-hour, the car exited the road at some point after Exit 1 in Parsippany, in the back-lot of an office building. At that point it's believed that the driver bailed from the car and was seen running behind the building. Gibbons secured the car, and police were able to report its recovery to Lakewood authorities.

Multiple Parsippany Police units responded at about 2:33am to the car's location, along with a K9 unit. East Hanover also responded to the Parsippany location.

Roseland Police requested mutual aid from all surrounding towns and the State Police were also notified. By about 2:30am, Roseland Police began scouting in the areas of Harrison, Eisenhower, and Eagle Rock. As of 2:45am, the Essex County Sheriff Officers, including K9, were dispatched to Third Avenue to locate the second individual.

By 3am, officers responded from Caldwell, East Hanover, Livingston, and West Caldwell and surrounded the perimeter from QuickChek to Noecker School, while the K9 unit was picking up a scent at 3:15am in the Third Avenue location.

At 3:40am, all police units were released from the Third Avenue area with the investigation continuing.

"Officer Gibbons performed an excellent job this morning," commented Roseland Police Chief Rich McDonough.
"The recovered stolen car will be used to complete the investigation and identify all individuals involved with these incidents."

This morning at 8:45am, at least one car was reported to have been confirmed broken into overnight on Glen Avenue, Roseland, near Passaic Avenue.

Additionally, a car was reported stolen overnight from Green Avenue, near Cooper. The investigation continues and any new information will be updated.

NEWARK, NJ - Today, Patrick T. Deck, 54, of Watchung, was sentenced today in Newark federal court to 34 Years in prison for producing and transporting sexually explicit videos of children, US Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced. Deck had previously pleaded guilty before US District Judge Esther Salas to two counts of transportation of child pornography. Salas imposed the sentence today.

Information Gathered from Case Documents and Court Statements

On Aug. 12, 2012, Deck was arrested by the New Jersey State Police at the Land of Make Believe amusement park in Hope for allegedly filming children in the men’s restroom, without any consent.
Police executed a search warrant the next day at Deck’s home in Watchung and discovered multiple videos and images containing child sexual abuse on Deck’s computers and other electronic devices.

Deck admitted that between 1997 and 2010, he transported two minors, beginning when they were approximately 11-years old, to locations across the country, including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Montana for the purpose of filming them to creating sexually explicit films.
Deck admitted to producing the videos and images of child pornography and then transported those images back to his home in Watchung.
Deck was earlier convicted in 1988, in Burlington County Superior Court on two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Those convictions had arisen out of prior incidents when Deck, then 27, photographed or filmed minors engaged in sexual acts.

Penalties

34 Years in prison; age 88
Forfeit the video cameras and other devices that he used to commit the offense.
Deck will also be required to register as a sex offender.
In addition to the prison term, Salas sentenced Deck to serve a lifetime of supervised release.
