Around 5:20 PM on January 15, 2025, Officer Rose Kanan with the Hoboken Police Department was dispatched to Basile’s Pizza at 89 Washington Street on a report of a woman who was threatening others with a knife. She arrived on scene and made contact with Stacy Butler, a homeless woman who is already known to Hoboken Police. Based on the officers’ investigation, another officer placed her in handcuffs and she was escorted to Officer Kanan’s patrol car. Officer Kanan transported Stacy to the Hoboken Police Department. At the Hoboken Police Department, she was searched in more detail and secured to the bench. After Stacy was photographed and finger printed, she was charged with Terroristic Threats (2C:12-3) and taken to the Hudson County Correctional Facility. ------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
