Asbury Park patrolman Keith German and his accuser face each other in court as she recounts the aftermath of what prosecutors say was a gang-driven smear campaign that he directed to avenge her rejections.

German allegedly repaid gang members with tips about investigations.

NJ transit cancelled 58 trains due to crew shortages in the first nine days that track repairs disrupted normal service - up from seven the first nine days of July.

The “Todd-Father” has returned home! Following a trade from the White Sox Tuesday, Toms River native Todd Frazier’s trade to the Yankees has his hometown fans buzzing…But what number will he wear?

Ed Bush, who owns GameDay sports with locations at the Ocean County Mall, The Freehold Mall, Jersey Shore Premium Outlets and the Jackson Outlets, says people have already been reaching out to request Frazier’s Yankee jersey.

“I had people texting me and saying, ‘did you hear the news? Is it really true?’ and then right away, ‘when are we going to be able to get jersey’s and t-shirts?’ ”

He hopes to have the jersey’s sometime during the Yankees home-stand next week and when they do, he anticipates a crowd but not necessarily a stampede.

Frazier who will man the hot corner in pinstripes, currently wears number 29 with the Yankees, but told reporters Wednesday he wants to speak with his favorite player as a kid, Paul O’Neil, to ask for his number 21.
