THE RECORD
Former Waldwick police officer John Robert Marion was sentenced Friday to 364 days in county jail for fraudulently collecting $321,000 in disability pension payments from the State of New Jersey while working full-time as an officer in Georgia, acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman said Friday.
Marion, 44, was immediately taken into custody to begin serving the jail term in Mercer County, which is a condition of the four years’ probation also imposed on him by state Superior Court Judge Peter E. Warshaw in Mercer County.
Marion, a Valdosta, Ga., resident, pleaded guilty on Nov. 12 to a charge of third-degree theft by deception, Hoffman said. He must pay full restitution of $321,008, and is permanently barred from public employment in New Jersey. Marion turned over a $100,000 check to the court to count towards that restitution
So this guy get 364 days in jail and must make FULL RESTITUTION but coin boy walks and pays back a fraction of what he stole?
@4:30pm: That was exactly my thought when I read the article.
This isn’t the only retired PFRS double dipper out there
Is Rica paying back the Village and making good on his restitution, or was that all a scam cooked up by Molinelli?
why do we need the state of Georgia to catch thiefs like this?

We have people steeling way more then that on wall street and pay very little back. those are the real scum bum,s.
Can you substantiate your claims a little bit 1:03? Which “top dirty dogs” are you referring to? The Village Manager? The Police Chief? The Village attorney? Who was “pooping in their under pants”? And why? Who made these calls “to the boy’s”? By “boys” I assume you mean Molinelli and the judge in Bergen? If you have information but don’t share it, you’re aiding & abetting. Shouldn’t you name names?
Rutishauser was the top dirty dog? Or made men dirty dogs from Hudson County?
why isn’t NJ taking this criminal down?
Hopefully the new Bergen County prosecutor goes after criminals like this fraud
