State Sen. Jon Bramnick (R-Westfield) is a prominent trial lawyer – some say the funniest one – but he recently learned a lesson about mistaken identity.
On July 1, Bramnick was issued a summons for abandoning his vehicle on private property in Palisades Park. The senator had an alibi: he was at the Jersey Shore that day, and he had some witnesses.
He learned of the offense when he received a letter from the municipal court saying that he’d failed to appear in court.
Spoiler alert: Bramnick is an innocent man.
When the police officer wrote the summons, there was no license plate on the abandoned vehicle. Because the system required a plate number, Dong simply entered XX.
But XX is Bramnick’s license plate number. He said it was ok to write that.
“That should never have been issued,” said Serina Ruberto, the municipal court administrator. “But we can’t take it out of the system without the judge, and he’ll be in tomorrow.”
Right now, technically, the former Republican gubernatorial candidate is an alleged scofflaw until Judge Joseph J. Rotolo orders Bramnick’s ticket stricken from the record.
