According to a statement released by Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella, authorities have arrested 40-year-old Joel Galvis of Jersey City on multiple weapons charges following an incident in Englewood.
On Friday, September 19, at about 6:27 a.m., Englewood Police responded to Englewood Hospital after Galvis arrived seeking treatment for a gunshot wound to his leg.
Investigators later determined the injury was self-inflicted.
A joint investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Englewood Police Department revealed that Galvis drove himself to the hospital after the shooting.
Detectives conducted a court-authorized search of his vehicle, parked nearby, and recovered two firearms, a high-capacity ammunition magazine, and one firearm with a defaced serial number.
As a result, Galvis has been charged with two counts of second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, one count of second-degree certain persons not to possess a firearm, one count of fourth-degree possession of a defaced firearm, and one count of fourth-degree possession of a large-capacity ammunition magazine.
Galvis was treated for his injury and later released into police custody. 
He is being held at the Bergen County Jail pending a detention hearing in Superior Court in Hackensack.
