Cosma was charged on Tuesday, Feb. 28 and waived his right to an indictment on Thursday, March 9. He will be permitted to enter into the Pretrial Intervention Program and has given up his right to current and future public employment.

An investigation by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Internal Affairs Unit determined Cosma received over $500 from an acquaintance to be used for a business investment and instead used the money for different purposes.
