Late Night Birthday Party at Warehouse Results in Multiple Charges

Fairfield (NJ) – The Fairfield Police Department announces charges filed against Victor Montana (44), of East Hanover, New Jersey, relating to an incident that occurred at a business over this past weekend.

On June 1, 2025, at approximately 1:14 am, officers were dispatched to Commerce Road after receiving complaints of loud music.  One caller allegedly stated that they had seen information about an event taking place at this location on social media.  Upon investigation, officers located many vehicles and people at Canasis Express, 23 Commerce Road, a trucking business that is normallyclosed at this time of night.  Music could be heard as well, which was promptly turned off once those inside were alerted to the police presence.

Further investigation from officers on scene determined that Montana, who rents a unit in a multi-unit building, had allegedly agreed to sublet the space and allow a birthday party involving car detailing to take place for a fee.  

While Fairfield officers awaited assistance from additional officers from other surrounding jurisdictions to arrive and help, our officers observed countless people leaving all at once. Unfortunately, some did so in a reckless manner, causing two separate motor vehicle crashes to occur on Commerce Road. Officers then safely cleared out the rest of the crowd from the building.

In the warehouse, officers observed that the space wasfilled with smoke and littered with debris, including containers of alcoholic beverages.  They also observed that all of the exterior doors to the business were locked, some with dead bolts. There was cardboard covering all of the windows, and some fire and carbon monoxide detectors had been removed so that the fire alarms would not go off.  Also located inside were five vehicles modified with external speakers on their roofs and the apparent cause of the noise complaint in the first place.

The Fairfield Fire Department was dispatched to the building and determined there were multiple fire code violations, which included the vehicles inside. Thesevehicles were impounded by the police department and removed by Eagle Towing in Parsippany, New Jersey.

Montana was charged with a criminal violation of maintaining a nuisance. He also received local ordinance charges for general noise and operating a disorderly business.  He was also charged with violations by both the fire and zoning officials.

“The Fairfield Police Department, along with our fire and zoning officials, take these pop-up style events seriously and will prosecute those involved to the fullest extent,” said Public Information Officer Stacy Chiarolanza.  “Public safety is of utmost importance and the Township of Fairfield will have zero tolerance towards those who engage in these types of events.”

As a side note, on June 2, 2025, at approximately 1:11 pm, the Fairfield Police Department received a call from the Parsippany Police Department informing them that one of the vehicles, impounded as a result of this case, had just been stolen from the impound yard of Eagle Towing. The vehicle taken was a tan colored Honda CRVwith large speakers on the roof.  Familiar with the events that had occurred early Sunday morning, Fairfield officers began searching for the vehicle.

Officer Jayson Sickles located the vehicle on Route 80 East, and conducted a motor vehicle stop. It was determined that the driver, Angel Suazosoto, had allegedly arrived at the tow yard and retrieved the vehicle without paying the impound fees.  Suazosoto was detained until the arrival of the Parsippany police.  He was subsequently placed under arrest by Parsippany officers and transported to their headquarters for processing. This same vehicle was again towed by Eagle Towing and charges are pending for Santana through Parsippany police.

“It is ironic that Suazosoto, who apparently did not want to pay the initial impound fees, now owes double theimpound fees and faces criminal charges when he did not face any as a result of the initial incident” said Chiarolanza.

(Charges are merely allegations until the defendant is proven guilty or pleads guilty in a court of law).
