Ex-cop who gunned down ex-wife has a nearly 700-page internal affairs file

by | Jun 1, 2018

A former Neptune Township police sergeant who gunned down his ex-wife as she sat helplessly in the driver’s seat of her car had an internal affairs file that is nearly 700 pages – and was asked to stay on the force even after he offered to retire prior to the 2015 slaying.
That’s according to a new lawsuit filed Monday.
