Good morning Pamelina,
On April 29, 2025, you filed an opra request with the Sparta Police
Department seeking information related to ST2023-033180, December 5, 2023
arrest. More specifically, you requested the "arrest report, incident
report, mugshot...". This request is being denied as there are no
responsive records to supply. All indictable offenses are sent to the
Sussex County Prosecutor's Office, eliminating our ability to provide any
details from the incident. Please forward your Open Public Records Request
to that department.
Thank you,
