Peter Byron was indicted by grand jury over a position he accepted while serving as the Shore town’s commissioner in 2017 and 2018.
The former mayor of Wildwood faces new criminal charges for allegedly abusing his official position while serving as a commissioner in the Shore town and for failing to pay state taxes.
“As alleged, the former mayor inappropriately used his power and influence for unlawful personal financial gain, betraying the public’s trust,” Platkin said Monday. “Elected officeholders are expected to serve the public, not use their authority to line their own pockets.” Those allegations mirrored federal prosecutors’ accusations, which included Byron’s omission of over $40,000 in income from the consulting job he’d solicited. An unidentified Gloucester City lawyer, according to prosecutors, procured the job for Byron by establishing a new business with the state Department of Treasury and offering the then-commissioner a position, complete with a forged signature from the lawyer’s firm.
