Louis Cedeno, 46, who lives on Central Boulevard in Palisades Park, was arrested around 6 a.m. Feb. 18 and charged with child endangerment, as part of the sweep, CLIFFVIEW PILOT has learned. Cedeno was being held on $100,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail.

Cedeno, who attended the University of Oklahoma on a baseball scholarship, has worked for several area companies, while also doing consulting work for Beat Pulse Records, according to his resume.

The defendants also include Jose Oswaldo of Fairview and Joseph Lorz of Bergenfield, CLIFFVIEW PILOT has learned.

Like Cedeno, Oswaldo is being held on $100,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail following his arrest on Feb. 19. However, the INS also has issued a detainer for Oswaldo, a 39-year-old Guatemalan national. He likely faces a deportation hearing after this case is completed.

Lorz, 26, was being held on $25,000 bail.

Both are charged with child endangerment.

A fifth area arrest was made in Clifton, state authorities said.
