Saddle Brook NJ, A state judge has dismissed the corruption charges against suspended Saddle Brook Police Chief Robert Kugler, a former GOP candidate for Bergen County sheriff whose campaign was derailed by allegations that he illegally ordered his officers to escort processions leaving his privately owned funeral home.
In a 56-page decision issued Wednesday, state Superior Court Judge Marilyn C. Clark said the township ordinance the chief allegedly broke did not apply to funeral processions, as state investigators alleged.
Clark also said prosecutors withheld key pieces of information favorable to Kugler when they made their case to the grand jury, whose indictment led the state attorney general to charge Kugler with conspiracy, misconduct and corruption of public resources in March 2021.

That’s because it was a political charge meant to use the process to kill his campaign.
I always felt it would be dropped once the election was over, just took a bit longer.
Always be aware of the term “projection.”
“The more he talked of his virtue, the faster we counted the spoons.”
Totally a political charge against a great Chief of Police. Imagine stooping that low to win an election. A new low for Bergen County.
“Imagine stooping that low to win an election. A new low for Bergen County.”
It’s called PROTECTING DEMOCRACY.
unless the Republicans do it………………………………….
Just my $0.02 but is it a conflict of interest for the Chief to run a business in the town that he serves..?
Terrible attack on a decent man. Absolutely shameful. He should sue.
This is the second case where we’ve seen the attorney general’s office intentionally withhold evidence from a grand jury. The two Deputy Attorneys General who withheld evidence are Eric Cohen and John Nicodemo. In my humble opinion they should both be fired immediately.
A dirty low political trick to smear the Name of a hardworking Police Chief. Sad thing is it worked. hope he sues those involved and wins big. He certainly deserves his lost pay
