GLOUCESTER CITY NJ (CNBNEWSNET)–Former Gloucester City Police Chief William Crothers and Deputy Police Chief Michael Kaye walked out of the Police Department with a \”suitcase\” of money according to a settlement agreement that recently came into my possession. Crothers, with 28 years of service and Kaye with 27 years retired on August 31. The \”suitcase of money\”, $100,000 for each, came about as a result of a lawsuit being settled.
When Mayor Bill James was asked about the settlement he said there was a lot of turmoil in the department and it had to be done. \”During my many years in the department I never saw anything like what has been going on these past three years.\” Deputy Chief James retired in 2006.
