Each week, Patch combs through the more shocking, surprising and often absurd alleged criminal acts and police-related incidents that unfold throughout New Jersey. Here’s what went on this week for “OMGs from NJ PD.” I’m Not Lovin’ It: Here’s hoping the Union County Bomb Squad’s equipment includes gas masks. The bomb squad rushed to Garwood recently for a gag-inducing suspicious package at a McDonald’s that sent foul odors far and wide. Instead of a bomb, responders found a duffel bag of rancid meat.

Each week, Patch takes a peek at some of the more surprising, shocking, stunning and occasionally silly police-related incidents reported throughout New Jersey for "OMGs from NJ PDs."

We assume that little buzz from licking the stamp just wasn't doing it anymore.
