New Jersey authorities have dropped a case against a correctional police officer who’d been accused of hiding his membership in two outlaw motorcycle gangs.
Ruben Morales, who worked at the state prison in Newark, had also been accused of hiding a food truck business he worked on the side.
All of the accusations were recently nullified, however, with the dismissal of a state indictment that had been filed against him.
Morales, a correctional officer for nearly 20 years, had publicly professed his innocence since the announcement of the indictment in early 2021.
Things finally changed last month, when a Superior Court judge in Newark approved the state Attorney General’s Office’s request for dismissal.
Investigators had failed to record their interview with Morales, among other missteps, authorities explained in court records. Morales said he also wasn’t told he was under arrest for nearly two hours and, when he finally was, wasn’t read his Miranda rights.
Superior Court Judge Verna G. Leath ordered the indictment against Morales dismissed with prejudice, which prevents the state from refiling the same charges against him, according to court records.
