NJ Jail Guard Accused of Stealing

Authorities have charged a Gloucester County corrections officer with theft from a law enforcement union.

Authorities say 38-year-old Derrick Smart took more than $500 from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 97 between 2008 and 2012. The union represents corrections officers.

Smart has been released on his own recognizance.

County spokeswoman Debra Sellitto tells The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill Smart is suspended without pay.
