NORTH BERGEN -- A North Bergen man has been arrested after police investigated a report of shots fired into a North Bergen apartment building.

According to a North Bergen police press release, Jason Fonseca, 36, was arrested on March 16 at 6:50 p.m at his residence, a 74th Street apartment building in North Bergen.

A bullet hole in an apartment door in Fonseca's apartment building was determined to be connected to an accidental discharge from a sawed-off shotgun in Fonseca's possession, North Bergen police said.

No injuries were reported, North Bergen Police Capt. Patrick Irwin said.

"It went through a door and hit a wall," he said.

Fonseca was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, prohibited weapon and two failure to appear warrants out of North Bergen Municipal Court, and his bail was set at $32,500, police said.

Irwin said shotguns with gun barrels less than 18 inches in length are illegal, likely because there are "more ways to conceal" a smaller shot gun.
