Assemblyman Dan Van Pelt of Ocean County Arrested In Statewide Sweep

A Millennium Radio exclusive this morning. Federal agents have been scouring the state in what is being described as one of the largest sweeps in state history involving public officials and others. A large number of cases involving everything from money laundering, political bids, and black market body parts. Among those also being rounded up this morning are a number of rabbi's...but their connection remains unclear. Busloads of suspects from Ocean Monmouth and Hudson Counties will begin arriving at the Newark Federal Courthouse within an hour.

Those arrested include 9th District Assemblyman Dan Van Pelt of Ocean County and some rabbi's in Deal and the Elberon section of Long Branch. 45-year-old Pelt was elected to the state Assembly back in November of 2007. He was also the Mayor of Waretown from 1998 until last year.

We will keep you up to date on further developments as we get them.
