The director of Hudson County's jail plunged into a expletive-laced, racially-charged tirade during an incident this week that began when a Sheriff's officer gestured for her to get off her phone while she was behind the wheel of a car, Sheriff's Office reports indicate.

The accusations against Tish Castillo, the county's director of corrections since August 2015, are detailed in several Hudson County Sheriff's Office documents obtained by The Jersey Journal.

The officer involved filed a Sheriff's Office incident report that states Castillo -- who is black -- called him a "white motherf---er" and said he's "the guy on the news causing all these problems."

"You're the white motherf---ker getting all these people killed," Castillo said, according to the officer's report.

Hudson County spokesman Jim Kennelly said the county is reserving comment on the incident at this time and has retained outside counsel to look into the matter.

When reached Thursday at the Hudson County jail in Kearny, Castillo said her lawyer advised her not to comment. Her lawyer has not since contacted The Jersey Journal to comment on the incident.

The officer said the exchange began Monday at 10:30 a.m. in an employee parking lot at Pavonia and Central avenues in Jersey City. A "black female" was pulling into the lot and waiting for the gate to open, when the officer noticed she was having a conversation on her phone, the report says.

The officer made a gesture for her to hang up, but the woman rolled down her window and said, "I'm not on the phone, you lying motherf---er." He said he ordered the woman to pull over but she proceeded to park at the opposite side of the lot, the report says.

The officer said he walked over and she started screaming at him before he could speak. The officer said he ordered her to hand over her paperwork but she began walking away, saying, "Do you know who I am? I'm the director of the jail," according to the report.

"I don't care if you work for corrections, I need your paperwork," the officer replied, according to the report.

But the officer said Castillo continued walking away and cursing at him until he told her that if she did not stop, he would arrest her for obstructing a government function. She then handed over her identification, the report states.

"Due to Castillo's hostile and aggressive mannerisms with racial undertones," the officer called for a supervisor, he wrote in the report.

When a Sheriff's Office lieutenant arrived at the scene, the officer told him that Castillo had said "Don't you know who I am, you fat motherf---er?"

In his official account of the incident, the lieutenant wrote that after he arrived at the scene and learned of what transpired, he asked Castillo "to calm herself" and stop making derogatory remarks. But the jail director "continued her verbal assault" toward the officer, he wrote.

When the lieutenant asked Castillo whether she had in fact called the officer a "white mother f---er" and blamed him for "getting all these people killed," the jail director replied, "yes, I did," according to the lieutenant's report.

Castillo continued: "Listen, dude, I was not on my f--ing cell phone and I don't care about no f---ing ticket. I can afford it," according to the lieutenant's report.

In his report, the officer said he went to the Hudson County Administration Building Annex on Pavonia Avenue after the incident, found Castillo on the third-floor and handed her a summons for using her cellphone while driving.

At least five members of the Hudson County Sheriff's Office filed reports or wrote memos on the incident.

Another officer who responded quoted Castillo as saying, "That fat mother f---er needs to run his fat ass around the track a few times before he gonna talk to me looking like that in his uniform."

Kennelly, the county spokesman, said Thursday that Castillo's job status has not changed since the incident.
