FREEHOLD, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey authorities are looking for a police officer after he skipped out on his trial on charges that he helped gang members in police investigations.
The Monmouth County Sheriff's Office says it is searching for 49-year-old Keith German after the Asbury Park patrolman failed to show up in court Tuesday. The trial went on without him. German's lawyer isn't commenting.
German is accused of tipping off gang members in police investigations in exchange for stalking a woman who turned down his advances.
He was free on $50,000 bond, charged with numerous crimes, including official misconduct, racketeering conspiracy, stalking and computer theft.
