A 12-year veteran of the Asbury Park police force loses his job, and he and his sister will try to avoid time behind bars for defrauding the Department's health insurance provider out of almost $200,000.

A suspended Asbury Park police officer and his sister appear headed for trial, indicted on charges related to insurance fraud.

The Asbury Park police officer charged with misconduct allegedly tried to get medical benefits for his sister under his plan in the department, say Monmouth County investigators.

The second Asbury Park police officer to be charged with official misconduct since 2014 awaits arraignment in Freehold, with bail set at $150,000.
