Cops: Man Wanted for Outstanding Warrants Cursed, Yelled at Officers

A township man was arrested early Saturday after he started yelling and cursing at officers, Parsippany Police said.

Police later discovered he was wanted on a $400 criminal warrant issued by the Denville Municipal Court, police said.

Jeffrey D. Comtess, 28, was given a summons for disorderly conduct, turned over to the Denville Police in lieu of bail and his court appearance is pending.

Officer Alfred Keiser was patrolling the Vail Road area on Saturday a little after 4 a.m. when he saw a man, later identified as Comtess, wearing dark clothing walking between parked vehicles at a Vail Road residence, according to a release from Officer Remo D’Alessandro, community relations officer.

Keiser approached Comtess and asked if he lived there. Comtess said no and “alleged that he was looking for keys that he lost while walking,” according to the release.

Officers Jimmy Michel and Michelle Kardos joined Keiser and Comtess began yelling and cursing at them, police said.  After repeated attempts asking Comtess to calm down and stop yelling and cursing, Comtess did not comply and was placed under arrest.
