27:11Now PlayingFuture Arrest (Hoboken ACME)
Around 1:42 PM on June 22, 2023, Officer Ryan Weiss with the Westfield Police Department responded to a report of a shoplifting at Walgreens located at 260 North Avenue E. The store manager advised the dispatcher that a white woman wearing black was seen placing items inside of a bag and leaving the store with a tall male who was outside the store. Police were advised that the suspect headed towards the train station.
Around 1:47 PM, Officer Weiss located a female matching the caller’s description, and he made contact with her. She was identified as 25-year-old Lindsey Caverly, and the other man was identified as “Joe.” While Joe was detained during the investigation, it was revealed that he did not enter the store with her so he would eventually be released at the scene. However, the officers continued their investigation with their suspect Lindsey.
After Officer Weiss initially made contact with Lindsey, she admitted to stealing deodorant from Walgreens. The officers also located a bag full of toiletries that seemed to be from the Walgreens. Officer Weiss headed over to the Walgreens to meet with the manager and review the surveillance footage, while Officer Kristopher Jackus continued with the investigation at the station. As he took down Lindsey’s information, she told him that she was homeless.
It was determined that the value of the items shoplifted from Walgreens was about $255, and the manager told the officers that they wanted to press charges. Since they wanted to press charges, Officer Jackus placed Lindsey under arrest and transported her to the Westfield Police Department. A search of court records indicate that Lindsey has been arrested multiple times in the past, including for DWI, possession, and shoplifting. In regards to this particular incident, she was charged with shoplifting under 2C:20-11B(2) and released pending her court appearance. In the future, Lindsey would go on to be arrested again for stealing from the ACME in Hoboken.

Our content is educational and in compliance with YouTube's Fair Use Policy because we edit several long clips into a concise story. This is similar to other law enforcement channels on YouTube. All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty.
The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
