Police Chief in North Bergen, New Jersey is Being Sued for Pranking Too Hard (Spiking Coffee with Viagra, Pooping on Floor, Stabbing Co-Worker in Penis, etc.)
Daily News - A New Jersey police chief is accused of defecating by desks, spiking others’ coffee with Viagra and other harassment.
North Bergen Police Department chief Robert Farley, who was sworn in as chief in February 2024, is the subject of a complaint by five officers who are planning to sue the township for Farley’s alleged retaliation, discrimination, sexual misconduct and harassment, NJ.com reported Wednesday.
The complaint alleges a hostile workplace that includes juvenile pranks, like putting firecrackers under chairs, to acts bordering on criminal like dosing the office coffee with drugs like Viagra and Adderall and jabbing a needle into an officer’s penis.
Sad day for the boys in blue. Sad day for New Jersey. Sad day for America. Apparently you can get fired for being the fucking man in 2025. If there was one group of people I thought could still take a little lighthearted hazing, it's a New Jersey police department. Robert Farley was simply keeping his men on their toes. His police chiefing style may have been a little unorthodox. I'll admit his tactics were a bit old school. But when you're a police chief, what is the #1 thing you don't want your officers to be? Comfortable. You can't afford to have comfortable officers. As a police chief, you need your boys to be on edge at all times. Suspicious of everything. Suspicious of everybody. Let your guard down in the office even once, and you're stepping in a pile of your bosses shit. Let your guard down twice... you get a needle in the penis.
Daily News - Michael Derrin, a special captain with administrative duties, claims Farley chased him around the office and cornered him before “[sticking] a hypodermic needle through [his] jeans into the tip of [his] penis,” drawing blood.
Using pranks to establish a culture of distrust inside the police station translates to aggressively paranoid highly diligent officers in the field. That's what you get when you hire the real-life Todd Packer to chief your police department. I mean just look at the guy. Look at his eyes in the picture below. Robert Farley was scheming from the moment he was sworn in as chief.
Those are the eyes of a man who knows good and well that everybody who touched the coffee is about to spend the next three hours on the toilet with violent diarrhea and an unrelenting erection. I mean what did North Bergen expect when they put him in charge? One look at Robert Farley and it's abundantly clear that this is a man who does pranks that involve his own bodily fluids. That this is a man liable to do quite literally anything from this The Office highlight reel while on the job at any moment.
FOX 5 - Farley is also accused of sending masturbation cream and Pride flags to officers’ homes.
When an officer tried reporting him to the New Jersey Attorney General, Farley and other managers retaliated, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com.
Lawyers said Farley’s behavior escalated over time. Officers who spoke up were allegedly dismissed with, "What, you can’t take a joke?"
Apparently they can't take a joke, Farley. You hate to see it. If Chris Farley had done this on SNL, everybody would have called him a comedic genius. But I guess you can't get shirtless and shave your arms into someone's lunch (a timeless prank) without being sued anymore. Or send "masturbation cream" to a co-workers house. Or scatter your human shit around the office. Not in North Bergen at least.
