Shrewsbury Patrolman Loses Job After Guilty Plea To Trespassing

FREEHOLD – A Shrewsbury police officer will resign from his job as part of his guilty plea to trespassing on the property of a borough resident earlier this year, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said.

Ryan M. Cullinane, 27, Tinton Falls, a patrolman in the department, will also forfeit his weapons and firearms identification cards as part of the plea agreement, the prosecutor said.

Cullinane pleaded guilty on Tuesday to fourth-degree trespass before Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Vincent N. Falcetano, Jr.

Cullinane admitted that while he was off-duty, he trespassed at the home of a borough resident where he was not invited and refused to leave, Gramiccioni said.

He also agreed not to have any contact with the victim and not to return to the scene of the crime.

Cullinane could face up to 18 months in state prison, but he is expected to apply to the pre-trial intervention program, the prosecutor said.
