THE RECORD
The already bizarre contest for a pair of state Assembly seats in Legislative District 38 took another strange twist Friday when a report surfaced that one of the two Republican candidates was charged with “attempting to cause bodily harm,” in a 2001 incident in Ocean Township.
The website PolitickerNJ reported that Mark DiPisa initially was arrested on charges of criminal mischief with damages, attempt to cause bodily harm and disorderly conduct in an Aug. 27, 2001 incident when he was a student at Monmouth University.
DiPisa shares the ballot with — but has distanced himself from — Anthony Cappola whose candidacy has been the focus of controversy over a book he wrote in 2003 that contained insults and stereotypes about African-Americans, gays, seniors, Asians and other groups.
Now we call the truth a “smear”? This incident is a part of his criminal past. It is relevent.
he was a student and charges were dismissed , its silly BS , by people who aligned themselves with Joe Fierro
Not surprising…Dems gonna Dem
He pled guilty
The best and brightest this party has to offer.
