MAHWAH, NJ – Mahwah Mayor John Roth admitted that he drank so much during a gathering at a township employee's house that he wound up taking off his pants and passing out in her bed, according to a report.

In an interview with NorthJersey.com, Roth said he has since apologized to the employee, who was not identified. The newspaper also reported that what occurred at the party earlier this month was detailed in an anonymous letter that made the rounds signed by "concerned" township employees.
