WEST CALDWELL, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s former New Jersey home—which he moved out of nearly 15 years ago—is receiving harassing packages and mail, West Caldwell police said Tuesday.
“Erroneous information was circulating on the internet that indicated that Justice Alito still resides in West Caldwell, and individuals have been sending harassing packages to the current resident,” police said in a news release.
Police responded to multiple calls and are now urging people to stop sending harassing packages to Alito's former home.
“The current homeowner has no affiliation with Justice Alito and deserves to live in peace in their home free from harassment, regardless of anyone’s political beliefs,” police said.
Alito moved out of West Caldwell after he was confirmed to the high court in 2007, nearly 15 years ago.
Alito wrote the majority opinion issued on Friday in the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. The decision sparked nationwide protests from both sides of the abortion issue.
“We therefore hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion,” Alito wrote. ”Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
Police warn that anyone identified sending threatening mail and packages to the home will be investigated.
