Child who came forward with information on alleged abuse was beat multiple times with belt by Carolyn Jackson, prosecutor said.
A U.S. Army major and his wife both pleaded not guilty to torturing and abusing their children on the Picatinny Arsenal military base during an appearance in federal court on Thursday, according to The Star-Ledger.

The alleged acts took place between August 2005 and April 23, 2010, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said. The …
Authorities spend $112,000 to take 'lethal weapons out of circulation.'
An AK-47 assault rifle and a 12-gague, double-barred shotgun were two of the more than 850 firearms that were turned in at a two-day gun Passaic County buyback program held last week.

Nearly 390 of the weapons were handguns. “It’s a credit to the citizens of Passaic County, as well as the other counties we’ve visited, that we’ve managed to take so many lethal weapons out of circulation,” Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said in a …

Sweep of buyers and dealers an example of 'where the suburbs meet the cities,' Passaic County prosecutor says.
More than 100 people face charges in a multi-agency drug investigation prompted by a "stunning increase" in heroin overdose deaths across Bergen County, Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said Thursday.
