GARFIELD, NJ – After they couldn’t find a place to stay, a Garfield police officer paid for a homeless family to spend a few days in a local motel.
Over the weekend, Patrol Officer Jonathan Librizzi a Bergen County CIT-NJ graduate Class#125, was called to Walmart on Passaic Street, where he met with a woman who reported she was homeless and needed help, Sgt. Jeff Stewart said.
The woman told Librizzi she, her adult son and their service dog drove from Florida to New Jersey to deal with a pending court matter over a Jersey City rental property and are homeless with no place to stay, Stewart said.
