Montgomery man locked out of car gets locked up

Dritan Asani of Montgomery township no doubt wishes he had called anyone else other than the police when he found himself locked out of his car Monday. Not knowing a better option, he called law enforcement and they did indeed send an officer to help. After successfully getting Asani's car opened, Officer Joe Sles learned that Asani had a $1,000 warrant from Paterson and a $500 one from Wall Township. Out came the handcuffs. Sles placed Asani under arrest and took him in.

Oddly enough, I tried many years ago in the town of Rahway to get police assistance for a car lockout and I was told they didn't do such things. I've heard this from residents of other Jersey towns as well. I'm surprised to learn that any town still does this.
