Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey has obtained a guilty plea from former Ocean Township, New Jersey Police Officer Cory R. Cole, 51, of Brielle, New Jersey.
Rather then face the uncertainty of a trial and 9 different criminal counts, Cole instead opted to plead guilty to:
- Theft.
- Forgery.
Linskey has confirmed that under a plea if the plea agreement the State will recommend no jail time and call for probation, as long as if Cole pays $8,400 in restitution.
Linskey said that the restitution money from Cole will go to two victims.
Initial criminal charges against Cole were filed in January, 2020, which led to his resignation as an Ocean Township Police Officer.
Cole was indicted on 9 counts of theft and forgery on June 11, 2021.
