Jeanine Toscano of Netcong says she was permanently injured when Trooper Daniel J. McCarthy pushed her “head-first into his patrol car and then onto the ground” after responding to her crash scene in Andover Township on Sept. 15, 2019, NJ.com reports citing court records.

As two other officers looked on but neglected to intervene, Toscano, 37, was then needlessly arrested and hit with several false charges including harassment for allegedly tossing a bodily fluid at an officer, the report says.
