SECAUCUS AND HOBOKEN – Passaic Business Administrator Anthony Iacono, who once held the same position in Secaucus, will plead not guilty to various charges after he was arrested Thursday night in Hoboken, according to a report in the Record of Hackensack. The report quoted Iacono’s attorney as saying he will fight the charges against him.
Iacono was pulled over in downtown Hoboken Thursday night for a traffic stop. A reliable source said he was driving a Passaic municipal vehicle going down a one-way street in an effort to get around a Hoboken fire truck responding to an emergency. During the stop police caught him allegedly attempting to get rid of a substance police believe is cocaine.
Iacono, who served as Secaucus Administrator in Secaucus under former mayors Dennis Elwell and Anthony Just, most recently worked as administrator in Passaic under Mayor Blanco. He has been hit with several charges including possession of cocaine.
