N.J. police chief pleads not guilty to kidnapping, domestic violence charges after alleged incident at Back Bay hotel
"Carmen Veneziano, 47, who leads the Totowa Police Department, faces one charge of kidnapping and three counts of domestic assault and battery in connection with the Sept. 14 incident. His bail was set at $25,000, with orders to stay away from the alleged victim and submit to GPS monitoring. According to prosecutors, Veneziano and the woman visited Boston for a Red Sox game in September, and the trip was going smoothly until an argument erupted at the hotel bar."
""Veneziano spent the next half hour in the corridor, alternating between pleas to let him in and profane insults," prosecutors wrote in a statement of facts. Hotel security came to investigate the disturbance, and the woman purportedly allowed Veneziano back into the room and told the guards it was OK for him to stay. Once the guards left, however, Veneziano allegedly continued to taunt the woman about her age, appearance, and prior relationships."
