Parsippany Man Tried to Obtain Electronics in Hackettstown, Cops Say

Two men, including a Par-Troy resident, were arrested for allegedly soliciting electronic equipment from people in front of the Hackettstown Marshall’s on Thursday, Hackettstown Police said.

Scott Levine, 23, of Parsippany, and Daniel Jonas, 20, of West Orange, stationed a blue van in the retail store’s parking lot and solicited the goods, Det. Darren Tynan said.

When police located Levine and Jonas, they found multiple surround-sound systems in the rear of the van, Tynan said.

The two were arrested and charged with soliciting without a permit. Levine also had a $750 warrant out of Chester Borough municipal court. The Parsippany resident was unable to post the bail and subsequently was turned over to the Chester Police Department.
