Disturbance in Roselle Park

Around 7:17 PM on January 2, 2023, Officer Anthony Mastrocola with the Roselle Park Police Department responded to a report of a verbal disturbance between a disorderly female and the tenants in the other unit of a 2-family residence. He arrived on scene and made contact with a female who was holding her dog, and they recognized her as Lauren Mullins based on prior interactions. Officers Mastrocola and Matthews later went inside to speak with the downstairs tenants while Officer Plock went upstairs to speak with Lauren.

The officers told the downstairs tenants that because Lauren lived upstairs with her mother, they could not force her to leave the premises. Since they were not the landlords, they were advised to go to housing court to resolve this issue. As the officers attempted to leave, Lauren continued to escalate this matter. The officers determined that she would have to go to the hospital because she was under the influence. Around this time, she became combative and kicked Officer Brian Matthews in the nose.

At this time, Lauren was placed under arrest. The officers carried her towards the ambulance rig and restrained her. She was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. Officer Matthews charged Lauren with assault on a police officer (2C:12-1B(5)(a)).

Court records indicate that Lauren has been arrested on multiple occasions. She was later arrested in Westfield, New Jersey on June 30, 2024 and arrested again outside a bar in Garwood, New Jersey on October 24, 2024.

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.
