'Death Race' Troopers May Face Charges

The two state troopers allegedly down the Garden State Parkway in March could be criminally charged Friday and one of the troopers has resigned, according to NJ.com.

New Jersey State Police Sgt. Nadir Nassry and Joseph Ventrella were suspended without pay in April, the Attorney General's Office has said. Ventrella was a member of the force for six years and was assigned to the Troop B Tactical Patrol Unit. Nassry, 47, of Phillipsburg, was a trooper of 25 years and was assigned to Totowa Station.

NJ.com reported Thursday that the suspended troopers could face third- or fourth-degree criminal charges after they were allegedly caught on video camera escorting luxury cars to Atlantic City at a high rate of speed. The escort has been nicknamed "Death Race 2012" and an eyewitness report of the rally John Kennedy.

The New Jersey Attorney General's Office launched an investigation into the incident.

“We will not tolerate any conduct by a member of the State Police that puts the public in jeopardy, as this unauthorized caravan had the potential to do,” Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said in a press release.
