A former New Jersey mayor who is now a police sergeant was arrested for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a child he met online. Andrew LaBruno, who was the former mayor of Dumont and now a Jersey City Police Sergeant, was arrested after allegedly meeting the victim at her home and drugging her until she was incapacitated. According to a criminal complaint, LaBruno sprayed an unknown substance into his hand and placed it over the victim’s mouth and nose, causing dizziness, before sexually assaulting her while she was physically helpless. The 44-year-old sergeant has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities cited statements made at the crime scene captured on body worn cameras, the victim’s account, and corroborating physical evidence as sufficient to arrest him. LaBruno, who ran on the Democratic ticket this year for the 39th legislative district in Bergen County, has been suspended without pay following his arrest.
