PHILLIPSBURG, NJ — Police are seeking the public’s help in locating a man wanted for failing to appear at scheduled court hearings.

Justin A. Rodriguez, 29, of Phillipsburg, is wanted on a bench warrant after missing court appearances related to criminal trespass and terroristic threats charges.

On Sept. 7, officers were dispatched to the 100 block of South Main Street for a reported disturbance.

An investigation led to charges being filed against Rodriguez for criminal trespass and terroristic threats.

Rodriguez was arrested and taken to jail before being released with court-ordered conditions.

He subsequently failed to appear at scheduled hearings, prompting a judge to issue a bench warrant for his arrest.

Police said Rodriguez may be in the Phillipsburg or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, area.

Rodriguez is described as a male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the Phillipsburg Police Department at 908-835-2002.
