Jersey City cop 'highly intoxicated' in traffic stop
JERSEY CITY A Jersey City police sergeant was accused of driving "highly intoxicated" in Robbinsville in January 2014, but was released without charges into the custody of Jersey City police and remains on the job.
The incident is documented in a dramatic video and multiple police reports obtained via a public records request. The video, taken from the dashboard of one a Robbinsville police officer, shows one officer telling Sgt. Vincent Corso, the Jersey City cop, that he is too "f up" to drive, while just off camera there is an apparent struggle after the officers tell Corso they plan to confiscate his gun.
News of the traffic stop first surfaced two weeks ago when Robert Cowan, the former Jersey City police chief, cited the incident in a civil lawsuit he filed against the city, Mayor Steve Fulop and Public Safety Director James Shea.
Cowan alleges in his lawsuit that he ordered an internal affairs investigation into Corso's traffic stop over the objections of Fulop and Shea. The ex police chief, whose allegations have been dubbed fiction by city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill, says Fulop tried to conceal the incident involving Corso, a local union official, because he wanted to curry favor with the union in advance of a possible gubernatorial run in 2017.
Corso, 47, the first vice president of the Jersey City Police Superior Officers Association and a 22 year veteran of the police force, did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Hudson County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Gene Rubino said his office did not investigate the matter, while Mercer County's prosecutor opted not to bring charges against the Robbinsville cops.
Jersey City public safety spokeswoman Carly Baldwin said she couldn't respond to questions about Corso because the traffic stop is "tied to ongoing litigation." Baldwin confirmed that Corso remains an active police officer in Jersey City.

'YOU'RE INTOXICATED AND YOU'RE DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE'
It all began with a traffic stop on Jan. in Robbinsville, a Mercer County township located about 8 miles east of Trenton.
Robbinsville Police Officer Shawn Bruton pulled Corso over on Route 130, telling Corso he was speeding and had one headlight out. In his report, Bruton wrote that he had seen Corso, driving a 2011 Buick, swerving and crossing over the roadway's center dotted line.
Bruton approaches the passenger side of Corso's car, later writing in his report that he smelled "an overwhelming odor of an alcoholic beverage" coming from the Buick when he opened the door.
Corso immediately tells Bruton he is "on the job." After Bruton returns to his patrol car to verify that he is a cop, Corso, wearing civilian clothes and a baseball cap, exits his Buick three times, leading to progressively sterner warnings from the officer.
"Are we OK here?" Corso asks the second time he left the Buick and approached Bruton's cruiser.
"Yeah, just sit in your car," Bruton says.
The drama escalates about 10 imitation Van Cleef ring minutes in, when Officer Barbara Borges arrives on the scene.
"Do we have a problem?" Corso asks her.
"Yeah, we do have a problem," she says. "You're intoxicated and you're driving a motor vehicle."
Off camera about one minute later, the sounds of a physical altercation can be heard between the two officers and Corso. In their reports, Bruton and Borges say Corso initially told them he did not have a weapon on him, then recanted, and when they told him they had imitation Van Cleef & Arpels ring to seize the weapon, he struggled, attempting to pull away from them. At this point in the video, Corso can be heard saying, "Don't do that. Don't do that."
Bruton then put Corso in a "compliance hold" with his right arm behind his back as the officers removed a Glock from his waistband, the reports say.
Borges, who called Corso "highly intoxicated'' in her written police report, repeatedly tells him that he cannot drive his car or else she'll arrest him for drunken driving he suggests he can "walk home" to Lincroft, a Monmouth County community about 43 miles northeast from Robbinsville and she tells him, "You are so f up right now you can't even speak right."
The two get into a spat after Corso repeatedly called her "brother."
"We're all brothers," Corso says.
"No, we're not," she tells him, "I'm not a male."
About 15 minutes after the initial stop, Sgt. Eric Bakay arrives on the scene. The three Robbinsville officers huddle and, according to Bakay's report, Bakay decided to call Jersey City police officers and ask them to get Corso. His car was towed to the Robbinsville police station.
"We were attempting to extend a 'professional courtesy,'" Bakay wrote.
Corso was picked up by two Jersey City cops, Lt. James Carroll and Sgt. Robert Kearns, according to Bakay's report. Kearns is president of the Jersey City Police Superior Officers Association.
