Morristown Woman Arrested After Allegedly Providing False Identity During Traffic Stop
Fairfield (NJ) – The Fairfield Police Department announces the arrest of 24-year-old Candie House, of Morristown, NJ, for hindering apprehension on September 13, 2026.
On that date, at approximately 10:22 p.m., Officer Matthew Iatesta was patrolling Route 46 West near Plymouth Street when he allegedly observed a gray Honda Civic traveling with an inoperable rear brake light.
Officer Iatesta conducted a motor vehicle stop on Route 46. After the vehicle stopped, he approached the driver, later identified as Candie House. House allegedly told Officer Iatesta she did not have her drivers license with her and gave the officer a name to look up to try and confirm her identity.
Further investigation revealed that House did not possess a valid driver’s license and allegedly provided officers with a false name in an attempt to hinder their efforts to determine her true identity. House was subsequently placed under arrest for hindering the officers’ investigation.
She was issued motor vehicle summonses for driving without a license and maintenance of lamps. House was criminally charged with hindering, and the charge was placed on a summons with a mandatory court date at the Fairfield Municipal Court on November 5, 2026.
(It should be noted that the charges against House are merely allegations and that’s he is presumed innocent until he either pleads guilty or is found guilty in a court of law)
