Williams said alongside Chief of Detectives Frank R. Crisologo.

Shilling was arrested Nov. 5 and charged with third degree fraud in casting a mail-in vote, third degree tampering with public record, forth degree unsworn falsification to authorities, four degree falsifying records and disorderly persons offense, offering a false statement for filing.
