Just Say No

Sentencing will continue today for former Ewing Township Mayor Al Bridges who pled guilty to possession of crack cocaine. Carol Bridges, the former mayor’s estranged wife, had claimed in her divorce papers that her husband was a cocaine addict while he was mayor. In the papers, she went on to claim that her husband was caught by FBI agents as he purchased drugs while using a township-owned vehicle. The wife also claimed that the water at the mayor’s Bernard Drive home was turned off after he failed to pay the bill. The Trentonian, June 20, 2005
