Judge Drops Charges Against Corzine Protesters

MIDDLE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) ― Trespassing charges have been dropped against two men arrested after protesting Gov. Jon S. Corzine's proposed toll increases.

Middle Township Prosecutor Mary D'Arcy Bittner said she asked a judge to drop the charges Monday morning and the judge complied.

This came after township officials asked D'Arcy Bittner to drop the charges against former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan and radio personality Seth Grossman.

The two were arrested Jan. 19 after handing out fliers and holding signs outside a school where Corzine was discussing plans to increase highway tolls. Township officials later said their actions were constitutionally protected and apologized for the arrests.
