For immediate release:
It’s hard to believe, but former Camden city police sergeant Jeffrey Frett is taking another shot at a New Jersey disability pension.
A previous attempt by Frett to retire on disability involved gunplay by his wife, a botched shooting and a guilty plea – results of a backfiring plot to cheat the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System.
The next round is scheduled for Monday at a PFRS board meeting, New Jersey Watchdog has learned. Frett’s history is almost certain to be a focal point as trustees consider his application for a lucrative accidental disability pension.
In November 2010, Frett had a scheme: While he was alone on patrol in Camden one night, his wife would drive up in a dark van. She would shoot him in the leg and escape as an unknown assailant.
Injured in the line of duty, Frett would retire on disability at age 40 to collect a tax-free pension of roughly $50,000 a year — two-thirds of his salary — for the rest his life. And they would live happily ever after.
But that’s not what happened.
