A retired police chief in New Jersey was arrested and charged Wednesday with a hate crime and the violation of a black man’s civil rights after he allegedly slammed the man’s head into a doorjamb during an arrest.
Former Bordentown Township Police Chief Frank Nucera, 60, had a history of racial animus prior to the violent arrest last fall, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday.
“(Nucera) has a significant history of making racist comments concerning African Americans, to whom he frequently referred as ‘niggers,’ ‘nigs,’ ‘moulinyans’ (an Italian-derived racial slur for African Americans) and ‘moulies,’ wrote FBI Special Agent Vernon Addison in the complaint.

Both teens, an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl, resisted arrest, prompting officers to call for back up. That’s when then-Chief Nucera arrived.
Officers eventually restrained the teens, and as the 18-year-old was being escorted out of the hotel, Nucera approached him from behind and slammed his head into a metal doorjamb. Prosecutors say a subordinate officer surreptitiously
