Overview
- The Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office charged Franklin Township Sgt. Kevin Bollaro with official misconduct and tampering with records on Oct. 23.
- Investigators say he drove to an ATM after the first dispatch, arrived without lights or siren, failed to activate his body camera, and did not contact the second or third 911 callers.
- GPS logs, bank surveillance, and the absence of body‑worn footage underpin allegations that he later filed false statements, including claims he was canvassing while he went to a pizza shop.
- He faces five to 10 years in prison and up to $150,000 in fines if convicted, and his first court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 5.
- Victims Lauren Semanchik and Tyler Webb were killed by Semanchik’s ex‑boyfriend, State Police Lt. Ricardo Santos, who later died by suicide, and the families are pursuing civil action while denouncing Bollaro’s alleged conduct.
