A New Jersey attorney nude from the waist down save for a pair of high heels strutted into a stranger’s Rutherford home and announced “I’m here,” police said.
Justin Christodoro, 39, of Hackensack, subsequently was arrested in neighboring Lyndhurst on Saturday after a resident returned home to find an unknown car with an unconscious man inside parked in his driveway, NorthJersey.com reports.
“It was occupied by a man sitting in the front passenger seat wearing only a black shirt and black high-heeled shoes,” Lyndhurst police Capt. John Valente told the website.
A cop from Rutherford who responded to the scene as backup recognized the man’s clothing as being similar to a report from an earlier incident at a home on Eastern Way.
The homeowners told police they were home at about 4:45 p.m. Saturday when someone walked in an unlocked back door. The man, wearing only a tight T-shirt and black high heels, then realized he was at the wrong house and left, according to Rutherford police Capt. Patrick Feliciano.
Christodoro, who was disoriented after being awakened by police, said he didn’t know how he ended up in Lyndhurst and put on a pair of sweatpants he had inside his car, according to Valente. He was then arrested after officers found a plastic bag inside the car containing what police suspected was pure MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, police said.
Christodoro, who could not be reached for comment, was charged by police in Rutherford with criminal trespass in connection with the first incident and also faces a drug possession charge in Lyndhurst. Valente confirmed to The Post that Christodoro identified himself as an attorney, according to an arrest report.
Christodoro, according to the New Jersey court system’s website, was admitted to the state bar in 2004. In an ad for his practice posted on YouTube he says he specializes in drug offenses, drunk driving cases and child support litigation. He could not be reached for comment at the number listed on NJCourts.gov.
