A New Jersey lawyer believed to be high on ecstasy and wearing ‘nary a thing’ below his waist except for high heels barged into the home of horrified strangers and exclaimed ‘I’m here!’ before he was arrested hours later, police said on Friday.
Justin Paul Christodoro, 39, a lawyer from Hackensack, entered the home of an unsuspecting couple in Rutherford at about 5pm on November 11, according to police.
Moments later, Christodoro left when he realized he was not where he intended to be, the New Jersey Law Journal reported.
Rutherford Police Captain Patrick Feliciano said that Christodoro entered the home wearing a tight black shirt, high heels, and ‘nary a thing’ while the couple was watching television.

‘He didn’t do anything to them; it was just the breaching of the threshold, as it were,’ Feliciano said.
‘It did not appear he had bad intentions. I’m grateful nothing worse happened.
‘No one got hurt.’
Hours after he barged into the home, Christodoro was found asleep in his car as it was parked in the driveway of a home in nearby Lyndhurst, police said.
He was found in the same state of dress.
According to Lyndhurst police, Christodoro was ‘kind of out of it’ and ‘had no idea how he got there.’
Police said they found Christodoro in possession of a plastic bag containing MDMA, also known as ecstasy.
Christodoro was arrested but not held. Instead, he was taken to a nearby hospital because it appeared he was under the influence of ecstasy.
He faces charges of criminal trespass, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, lewdness, and a traffic violation for blocking the driveway.
Christodoro is scheduled to appear in Bergen County Superior Court on November 29.
Christodoro has law offices in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. He specializes in divorce cases, criminal law, and traffic law.
