Video Parsippany-Troy Hills Town Council Meeting August 19, 2025

During its meeting on August 19, 2025, the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council approved several redevelopment initiatives, including amendments to ordinances on traffic and zoning, and authorized the purchase of ALPR cameras for police use. The council also approved significant contracts for road resurfacing and improvements to the water treatment facility. In a separate and concerning incident, local resident Maloy Amador, 43, was arrested after a violent standoff with law enforcement during a federal raid on his home. The raid, part of a broader investigation into narcotics and firearms, resulted in the recovery of multiple firearms and drugs. Amador faces serious charges, including attempted murder of a federal officer, and could face life in prison if convicted.

His arrest underscores the persistent issues of drug-related violence in the region. Acting U. S. Attorney Alina Habba emphasized that violence against federal law enforcement will not be tolerated in New Jersey, vowing to prosecute offenders to the fullest extent. This incident reflects ongoing law enforcement initiatives aimed at addressing illegal narcotics and firearms trafficking in local communities.
