A Class II officer with the Buena Borough
Police Department was arrested this morning for official
Sean R. Griffith, 24, of Landisville,
was arrested following an investigation by the Atlantic County
Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit. He was charged official misconduct,
sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
The state alleges Griffith committed these acts
while holding a position of authority and disciplinary power over a 17-year-old
female.
He was lodged in the Atlantic County Justice
Facility on $100,000 cash bail. He is scheduled for arraignment at 1 p.m. July
10.
Special Law Enforcement Class II officers have
similar powers to full-time officers, but are paid on an hourly basis without
benefits. They only have police powers during their work hours, and do not take
their guns.
