TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey's state police superintendent has been ticketed for speeding after turning himself in.
Col. Rick Fuentes was traveling northbound in an unmarked state police-issued black SUV on the Garden State Parkway on Friday morning when a trooper stopped him in Paramus, just northwest of New York City.
State police spokesman Capt. Gerald Lewis says Fuentes was going 75 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Lewis says the veteran trooper who stopped Fuentes didn't realize he was pulling over another officer and didn't issue a ticket. He says Fuentes later contacted his department's Office of Professional Standards to report the stop and request a ticket, which will cost him $160.
Fuentes also will receive a written reprimand.
