LITTLE FALLS — A municipal court verdict was postponed Tuesday in the case of a Garfield man accused of harassing the Bergen County prosecutor during a probe of a police shooting.
“I’m appalled! This is too much,” Harper, visibly
frustrated, said after learning that his case would be adjourned. “This
is definitely looking shaky — suspicious.”
A verdict had been expected Tuesday in the 13-month-long legal case against Harper, who has been on trial in Little Falls Municipal Court on a charge of harassment, a disorderly persons offense, for making repeated telephone calls to the Bergen County
Prosecutor’s Office on March 7, 2012. The intent of those calls, police
allege, was to harass employees of that office, including Prosecutor
John L. Molinelli and his assistant, Patricia Scanlon.
About 15 people came out to support Harper on Tuesday, including Garfield
Councilman Glenn Mati; Williams’ mother, Shirley, and Miguel Reyes and
Reggie Buggs of United Residents of Garfield Engaging Neighborhood
Transformation (U.R.G.E.N.T.), a community group that formed after
Williams’ death.
