SOUTH HACKENSACK - Township Police Commissioner William Regan has been arrested and charged with assaulting his wife, according to a municipal court complaint.
Regan, 52, who was sworn this month to his third term on the township committee, was arrested Thursday on a charge of simple assault with bodily injury.
The complaint accuses William Regan of "grabbing (his wife) by the arms and pulling her to the ground and causing injury to her arms and knees."
He was charged with a disorderly person's offense and given a Feb. 9 court date. However, Municipal Court Administrator Diane Brando said Tuesday that the case will be forwarded to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office to "avoid a conflict."
A determination will be made by the county prosecutor on where to hear the case, Brando said.
The complaint states the alleged assault occurred last Wednesday in South Hackensack but gives no other details.
A voicemail message left for William Regan was not returned. There was no answer Tuesday morning at the Regan home on Dyer Avenue.
A South Hackensack police spokesman was not available to comment on Tuesday.
According to his LinkedIn page, Regan has served as police commissioner since Jan. 2016. He served as mayor of South Hackensack from 2014-2016, deputy mayor from 2012-2014 and worked for nearly seven years as a loss-prevention manager for CVS Pharmacy in New York.
Regan lists his current position as an armed guard for celebrities and CEOs, also conducting corporate investigations and providing event security.
