As News12’s Walt Kane first reported this afternoon, a Hudson County Superior Court grand jury handed up indictments against retired Capt. Joseph Ascolese, Lt. Kelly Chesler, as well as Police Officers Michael Maietti and Michael O’Neil.
The report says that the indictments came about as the result of a Kane in Your Corner report back in August 2014 that detailed all the aforementioned officers receiving overtime pay for Pulaski Skyway details they weren’t actually working.
Kane also reported that the officers were charged for allegedly violating the city’s policy for taking home city vehicles.
Ray Worrall, a spokesman for the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Officer, confirmed that the four police officers had been indicted on charges including conspiracy, falsifying records, official misconduct and a pattern of official misconduct.
He did not have any additional details immediately available regarding the indictment.
Back in April 2015, Real Jersey City reported that Chesler filed a federal lawsuit against Public Safety Director James Shea and Chief Philip Zacche for allegedly retaliating against her for reporting sexual harassment by other officers.
Mark B. Frost, of Mark B. Frost & Associates in Philadelphia, is representing Kelly in the case but was not immediately available for comment this afternoon.
I’m loving this more then you know. Get the rest of the scum. They’ll never see jail but take there PENSIONS!
It’s about time, ( Jail Time ) problem is they think they’re above the law
Where did the money go? Does the corruption extend higher?
I think some people skipped the word “allegedly”. Innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around. I’ll wait until there has been a full investigation before passing judgement on these police officers.
didn’t the female sue the department motorcycle unit?
Maybe this is part of the reason police are slow and, sometimes, don’t even respond to calls in Jersey City. It’s time that the lazy, greedy and self-serving ones are ferreted out of the system.
