The 24-year-old Lodi victim arranged to sell his iPhone to Ibrahim Abuharthia, 19, of Ridgefield Park (above, middle) while chatting on Facebook, authorities told CLIFFVIEW PILOT following the June 7 mugging.
He told police he then went to an arranged location on Lodi Street where he thought he was meeting only Abuharthia. Instead, Abuharthia sat in the passenger side of a car containing three other people — one of them a 17-year-old boy from Little Ferry, the victim said.
As he handed over the phone, he said, 19-year-old Chantell Wald (above, left) hit the gas. He hung on for “a good 30 to 40 feet” before falling off and slamming his head, authorities said.
Detectives who quickly hit Facebook arrested one suspect and were immediately led to three others.
Grand jurors returned charges of first-degree inflicting seriously bodily injury against Ibrahim and Felicia Dangelo, 18 (above, right) – who, like Wald, is from Moonachie.
They also charged Wald with causing serious bodily injury while driving recklessly.
Juvenile complaints for robbery were signed against the Little Ferry boy.
Abuharthia posted $75,000 bail and was released from the Bergen County Jail five days after the arrests. Dangelo posted $25,000 bail and was released two days after the arrests, records show.
Wald remained held on $75,000 bail in the jail.
