Overview
- Video of Nabers talking with Paramus officers circulated on social media Tuesday night and prompted online claims that he had been arrested.
- Beat reporters including Mike Garafolo and Jordan Raanan traced the stop to a third‑party road‑rage report about a vehicle similar to Nabers’ and identified the episode as a case of mistaken identity.
- Officers searched Nabers’ vehicle and questioned him during the brief encounter, but they found no weapon, issued no citations, and released him without arrest.
- Sources say the original report involved an individual who was accused of brandishing a gun, but investigators found no connection between that report and Nabers.
- The episode highlights how short, ambiguous on‑scene clips can fuel false arrest narratives and adds to media scrutiny around Nabers as he rehabs a torn ACL and meniscus.
