WESTWOOD — Police recently arrested a man after discovering an active warrant for his arrest while he was interviewing for a job with the department, NorthJersey.com reports.

Police Chief Frank Regino refused to identify the man, but did explain that the warrant was for a traffic violation issued several years earlier that had never been settled.

The man, who was applying to become a police officer, was removed from the pool of applicants.

None of the available positions are expected to be filled until the fall, Mayor John Birkner Jr. told The Record.
