Eighteen Arrested on LepreCon, Summonses and Calls for Service Down Since Last Year

The crowds were mostly concentrated downtown this year, officials have said.

Hoboken Police arrested 18 people on Saturday during the annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations, the same as during last year's LepreCon. The city issued 82 summonses on Saturday, according to numbers provided by City Spokesman Juan Melli. Last year, 92 summonses were issued. The Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps went on 49 LepreCon related runs between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Saturday, said HVAC President Thomas Molta. All 70 members of the ambulance corps worked on Saturday at some point in the day, Molta said, and a total of seven ambulances — four from Hoboken and three with the help of Moonachie, Ridgefield Park and McCabe — were in service. While he didn't have the number of calls for service after 11 p.m. yet, Molta said the total …

92 Summonses Written; Crime Down Since Last Year's St. Patrick's Day

According to the mayor's office, there was a total of 394 calls for service.

The number of people sent to the hospital as well as the total number of calls for service during Hoboken's St. Patrick's Day celebrations were significantly lower than last year, according to numbers released by the mayor's office.  While some attributed the lower numbers to the lack of a parade, others said that early morning rain on Saturday deterred people from coming to town. No matter what it actually was, Hoboken was certainly more quiet than the past two St. Patrick Days.  This year, according to the mayor's statistics, police wrote 92 city summonses as opposed to last year's 296. Of those 92 tickets, most were written for disorderly house parties (22) and open containers (19). Last year those numbers were significantly higher, …

Too bad it didn't happen around the time Michelle Russo got the Board of Ed job in Union City. If it had, Patch could have excused their seemingly willful non-coverage of both events by saying the site was getting interference from the dark side of the moon and missed both stories at the same time.   more ›

I often read but seldom post because even those I agree with seem so nasty. My 12 year old son had a bake sale (he baked everything himself with his grandma) , at 1st and Clinton - surrounded by bars and more than a few house parties. It was to benefit The Make-A-Wish Foundation. While there was a steady stream of celebrants, we felt safe (we were there from 1-6pm). There was a strong police …   more ›
