Asbury cop arrested, accused of official misconduct

An Asbury Park police officer was arrested and accused of official misconduct, conspiracy, falsifying records and tampering with public records, according to Monmouth County Sheriff Office jail records.

Patrolman Alix Antoine, 36, was arrested Monday, the sheriff's office website showed. He's being held on a $150,000 bail.

A man by the same name is employed as a police officer in Asbury Park, according to pension records published on DataUniverse. His base salary was $90,384 in 2014 and he was enrolled in the state pension system in 2002.

Asbury Park Mayor John Moor said he was aware of the arrest, but declined to comment further. He said he believes strongly comments on a personnel issue should come from the city manager or prosecutor's office.

Calls seeking comment weren't immediately returned by Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Spokesman Charlie Webster, Acting Asbury Park City Manager Tony Nuccio and Asbury Park police.
