A New Jersey police chief has been accused of defecating on floors, spiking the department coffee with viagra and adderall, and stabbing an officer’s penis with a hypodermic needle among other assualt and harassment claims filed in a complaint.

Chief Robert Farley, the appointed chief of the North Bergen Police Department as of February 2024, was also accused of retaliating and punishing officials who dared to report him to the New Jersey Attorney General, NJ.com reported.

The five police officers—Special Captain Michael F. Derrin, Detective Michael A. Derrin, Lt. Alex Guzman, Officer Rasheed Siyam, and Officer Christopher Bowen—plan to sue over the police chief’s alleged behavior.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Patrick Toscano, the attorney who filed the claims on behalf of the police officers, said NJ.com reported.

The list of complaints detailed a toxic work culture wherein Farley thrived on pranking, insulting, and scaring officers. While some alleged offenses included relatively innocuous gags like applying ink to door handles and setting off car alarms, other more serious allegations include Farley using racial slurs, sending sex toys to an officer’s house, and exposing himself to staffers.

A town spokesperson denied all claims made by the officers in a statement to the Daily Beast.

“The Township of North Bergen has full confidence in Chief Robert Farley’s leadership of the North Bergen Police Department and we strongly deny these false and outrageous allegations made by disgruntled officers who are resorting to attacking the reputation of a dedicated public servant to further their own selfish goals,” the statement read.

They added, “If these claims are advanced in a lawsuit the Township will vigorously defend North Bergen taxpayers against these blatant cash grabs and prove that the allegations are false and defamatory. In order to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest and because we are fully confident that these claims will be proven false, we have proactively referred them to the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office for review.”

Meanwhile, officers also claim that Farley’s abusive behavior had been going on for years and has persisted since he was promoted as chief. Prior to this, he served with the department for 26 years, in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who both served as deputy chiefs.

When Farley, who makes over $228,000 a year based on pension records, first became the department’s head, he made promises that his 123-member department might now call empty.

“I will strive to lead the officers of our department to be an accessible component of our community while maintaining their competency, transparency, and professionalism,” Farley said in the statement at the time.

Special Captain Michael F. Derrin, 59, who was assigned to Farley’s office in 2023 according to court documents, claims that the chief’s demeanor towards him changed in August 2024 despite their friendship.

“Chief Farley chases me around his office,” Derrin wrote in his notice. “After cornering me in the filing area with no further room for retreat, he sticks a hypodermic needle through my jeans into the tip of my penis.” According to Derrin’s account, the needle drew his blood.

But wait, there’s more.

“The chief would shave his body hair on people’s property, their persons, and their food,” Derrin wrote. “He was also fond of scraping fluids from his underwear onto people seated in the chief’s office.” He added that when he tried to complain to the state Attorney General’s Office, a captain called him and fired him.

Derrin’s son, Detective Michael A. Derrin, claims he witnessed Farley unload a fistful of viagra and adderall into the coffee pot, stir it till they dissolved, and then wait for someone to drink a cup. The detective said he stuck to a K-Cup machine out of fear afterwards.

“Chief Farley has, on several occasions, pulled his pants down and defecated on the floor in front of his entire office staff,” Lt. Alex Guzman wrote in his complaint. “He has also left feces on the bathroom floor, apparently with the intent of having someone unknowingly step on it.” He added that the Hudson County chief would also defecate in wastebaskets near the desks of other officers.

Guzman also complained about the emotional distress his family members were subjected to when the police chief sent sex toys, intimate lotions, and gay pride flags to his home.
