Porch Pirate Panic Drops Stolen Packages The Second He Sees Police

On July 6, 2024, at approximately 5:40 p.m., Sgt. Adam Colon was on patrol in the area of 12th and Hudson Streets when he observed a man, whom he knew to be 51 years old, walk into a building on the 1200 block of Hudson Street. Several moments later, he saw Guzman leave the same building with multiple packages and get on his bike and ride away. Sgt. Colon pulled ahead of Guzman, parked, exited his vehicle, and told Guzman he was under arrest. Guzman had dropped the packages when he saw the Sergeant pull in front of him. Sgt. Dennis Figueroa and Police Officers Jason Montalvo and Enrico Gnassi arrived on the scene. Officers retrieved the packages, which belonged to residents of the building Guzman had entered earlier. A search incident to arrest found Guzman had a nine-inch knife with a four-inch blade. He was transported to Hoboken Police Headquarters, where it was discovered he had a warrant from the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office for burglary. He was charged with burglary, theft of packages delivered to a residential property, unlawful possession of a weapon, and certain persons not to possess weapons. He was transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
These charges are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
An arrest is not a finding of guilt: that’s something for a court to decide.
