The Upper Saddle River police officer accused of obstructing a potential internal affairs investigation by telling a witness to destroy evidence engaged in harassment by sharing a nude photo and text message of a woman, court records say.

Kyle Zyskowski, 34, of Ramsey participated as an accomplice in cyber harassment by showing a nude photo of the victim without her knowledge or consent, according to a copy of his criminal complaint dated April 7. The incident comes three days after the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office began its investigation.

The married cop tried to destroy an audio recording of a conversation he had with the woman, the complaint says.

Zyskowski faces charges including hindering apprehension, witness tampering and cyber harassment, the Prosecutor’s Office said. He has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the charges, said borough Police Chief Patrick Rotella.

It’s not known whether Zyskowski has an attorney.

Though the Prosecutor’s Office investigation began April 4, when it received information that Zyskowski was acting in a disorderly manner by waving his gun and driving erratically, authorities said, a copy of the complaint says the incident took place Jan. 11.

In an email Rotella said the police department learned about incident on April 4.

Officials from the Prosecutor’s Office confidential investigation unit and the Upper Saddle River internal affairs unit said Zyskowski allegedly told a witness to destroy evidence and revealed sensitive information, including a resident’s domestic violence restraining order. This alleged incident happened on March 29, the criminal complaint says.

Zyskowski has been in the department for eight years and receives a salary of $128,400, according to pension records.
