On Wednesday July 19th, detectives from the Hoboken Police Department Investigation Bureau began to investigate a robbery that occurred in the Hoboken Housing Authority during that early afternoon, according to Det. Lt. Edgardo Cruz.
On that day, Officers Ryan Houghton, Tyrone Huggins and Michael Straten were dispatched to the area of 310 Jackson St. on a report of a man bleeding from his head. The officers were advised on scene the victim had left the area injured, officials said.
The victim was found a short distance away by the officers, where he was bleeding from the nose and swelling on his face. As a result, immediate medical attention was requested for the victim, authorities said.
Prior to transportation to the Hoboken University Medical Center, he was able to give the officers a brief description of some of the men who had assaulted him. The victim suffered the loss of his cell phone, basketball sneakers and cash, police said.
A search of the area was conducted, but yielded negative results. It was later determined that the victim suffered a fractured jaw, fractured orbital socket along with other injuries, officials said.
Members of the Investigation Bureau immediately began to canvas the area for possible leads and spoke with several residents who may have possibly been in the area during the incident.

I remember at one time the Hoboken Housing Authority officials said that any resident convicted of a serious crime would be evicted.
True, but the people above have only been charged. If they are found guilty in a court of law, then yes, that would be an automatic eviction due to the one-strike policy rule at the Hoboken Housing Authority.
