Wife of Jets Cornerback Says She Was 'Pulled Over While Black' in N.J.: Report

Madison Police have been accused of racial profiling by Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie’s wife, Terricka, claiming she was pulled over on Friday for “driving while black.”

It was around 11 a.m. when Cromartie claims she made multiple attempts to ask the officer why she had been pulled over - an occurrence she alleges happens three to four times a month, according to The NY Post.

After the incident, Cromartie took to social media and posted multiple videos, recorded during and after the traffic stop, onto Instagram. The videos have since been removed from her account, but can still be viewed on the NJ 101.5 website.

According to one of the videos, the following conversation happened after Cromartie questioned the officer as to why she had to roll her window down:

Officer: For safety reasons.

Cromartie: For safety, but I’m not authorized to do that, either.

Officer: You don’t have to, which I explained to you.

Cromartie: So now I have to tell you why I’m in Madison?

Officer: You don’t have to.

Cromartie: But why are you asking me why I’m in Madison?

Officer: Just curious.

Cromartie: Well, you don’t have to be curious about why I’m in Madison.

Officer: OK. All right, just hang tight, ma’am, for me. And I’ll be right back, all right?

In a second video, Cromartie goes on to say:

“So apparently you can’t be black, you can’t drive a nice car in Madison at 11 in the morning. I mean, who cares if you just came from the nail shop, you didn’t get a ticket, the police let you go and say have a nice day. Like that’s OK.”

Acting Lt. John Miscia, the Madison Police Department’s spokesman, says they are looking into the allegations, according to reports.

“We are looking into it,” Miscia, told nj.com several hours after the alleged incident.

“We have no comment on it right now,” Miscia later added. “I’m not at liberty to talk about it.”
