After responding to a report of an unconscious man with possible cardiac arrest, Moonachie police charged Charles A. Jacobus with being under the influence of drugs and his host with assorted drug-related offenses.

Jacobus, of Moonachie, was in fair condition Sunday night, said a nursing supervisor at Hackensack Medical Center, where he was taken Saturday after being revived.

Police Officer Michael Maguire saw hypodermic needles in a basket and a marijuana cigarette in an ashtray in the living room of an apartment at 47 Albert St., Lt. Michael McGhan said.

Albert Stola, 50, who lives in the apartment, was charged with six counts of possessing narcotics and drug paraphernalia and fraudulently obtaining methadone. He was being held in the Bergen County Jail on Sunday in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Jacobus, 38, will be arraigned on charges of being under the influence of a drug, possession of heroin, and possession of a hypodermic needle after his release from the hospital.

A 36-year-old borough woman was in critical condition at Hackensack Medical Center on Saturday following an accident in which a motorist drove onto a sidewalk and struck her and her two young daughters, officials said.
Francine Culver suffered extensive head and chest injuries in the accident, which occurred about 6:25 p.m. Friday, Bergen County Prosecutor John J. Fahy said. Her 3-year-old daughter suffered a broken leg and was being treated at the hospital. Another daughter, a 4-year-old, escaped with scrapes and bruises, Fahy said.
Michael Gass, 24, driver of the Ford Ranger that hit the Culvers, was released Saturday after posting 10 percent of his $20,000 bail in cash. Gass, of 52 Susquehanna Ave., Rochelle Park, was charged with reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, refusal to take a Breathalyzer test, assault with auto, and two counts of aggravated assault, Fahy said.
Culver and her children were walking south on Caesar Place, about 100 feet from Moonachie Road, the borough’s main thoroughfare, when the truck hit them. The vehicle stopped about 200 feet away and Gass walked back to the spot where Culver and her children were lying on the sidewalk, Fahy said.
Fahy said the case would be referred to a grand jury.
