NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—People make false statements to police on a daily basis, but they are rarely indicted for them.
Though authorities often have to sift through false statements from witnesses, suspects, and alleged victims–sometimes causing harm to innocent people who are questioned, charged, and even imprisoned–there is one factor that will almost certainly improve the chances that someone's lies to police will result in criminal consequences: lying about a law enforcement officer.

MONROE, NJ—A Monroe Township man was charged with attempted murder and a slew of other charges after an incident at his home on May 20 drew a response from more than 20 police officers from the county's Special Operations Response Team (SORT).

PISCATAWAY, NJ–If we've learned anything about Eric LeGrand over the past few years, it's that it’s difficult to rain on his parade.
That certainly showed on Sunday, June 5, when those attending the sixth annual A Walk to Believe 5K experienced some heavy rain showers ahead of the event.
But the showers halted just minutes later, and roughly 900 volunteers and participants showed up to High Point Solutions Stadium to take part in the 5K, which raised over $50,000 for spinal cord research.
