Former NJ Police Chief Charged With Racially Motivated Assault on Suspect



A retired New Jersey police chief with a purported history of racist comments about black people allegedly assaulted a suspect last year while he was in custody, according to a federal criminal complaint disclosed Wednesday. 

Frank Nucera Jr., the former chief of police in Bordentown Township, allegedly approached a cuffed and in-custody suspect from behind on Sept. 1 of last year and slammed his head into a doorjamb.

"The evidence set forth herein establishes probable cause that defendant Nucera's assault of Civilian 1 was motivated by an intense racial animus," the U.S. Attorney's Office for New Jersey said in the complaint.
