A former captain in the Sayreville Police Department has sued the borough, alleging his involvement in the case that resulted in bribery and other charges against former Sayreville Democratic Chairman Thomas Pollando led to his being passed over for promotion to police chief last year. Retired Capt. John "Jack" Fitzsimmons has filed suit in Superior Court against the borough and unnamed others, alleging his rights were violated under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act, that he was the victim of retaliation by engaging in whistleblowing activities because "he disclosed, refused to participate in, and/or objected to, conduct which he reasonably believed was in violation of law and/or public policy, and/or rules or regulations promulgated pursuant to law and/or public policy.
