I remember, corruption scandal. I was in high school at the time at Sussex tech.

Hi Deery, thanks for responding. My wife teaches at Sussex Tech BTW   :) I'm sure she did not have the opportunity to torture you however. 

 

Actually corruption is an understatement. 

 

Since my wife trashed my TV and I was not allowed to smoke in the house (I gave it up 13-14 years ago) I used to go out to watch the Giants. One of my fave bars was the Fountain Square, located on...Fountain Square...In Sussex. One Monday the Giants were playing the 49ers. I drove up. At halftime they served deer ribs on a plank. Free!

 

After munching I walked over to the pool table. Very friendly group of guys, typical Sussex Cty. guys. Real solid. They told me about a disturbance at the bar the week before. A bunch of guys were playing pool, a Sussex cop walked in, and began trashing the place. Before long there was a riot. The guys I was playing pool with told their own versions of the story. Call for backups, massive arrests, all the cop's fault they said. I thought I was listening to a Hoboken Miracle. In other words, bullshit.

 

The next week, and I mean literally from Monday to Tuesday of the following week, a huge story broke. Sussex had busted a guy for heroin. He came up to trial. He was a known dealer. They tested the material in the vault and it turned out to be flour. That initiated an investigation that led to Sussex cops being tried and convicted of drug dealing, pimping, etc. etc. That's when the police force was disbanded. 

 

A year later the NJ Herald reported that crime in Sussex was down like 80%. 

 

And that, my friend, is the rest of the f-ing story.

I do recall hearing a version of the same story. Man it was over twenty years ago though and right around the time I discovered pot... need I say more about that, other than I stopped during college a few years later. And you're probably correct unless your wife taught welding I probably didn't have her lol. I do recall a female teacher I really loved from my 4 year tenor there. Mrs. Hansen, she was awesome.

Question: Does this have anything to do with BB guns?
