AFTERMATH

New Jersey Halts Fatal Park Cruising Crackdown Program

Evidently not thrilled that Newark cops have to explain why a married man is dead after cruising for dick in a public park, New Jersey’s Essex County authorities are halting its outdoor sex crackdown.

The five-year program to arrest the indecently exposed at Branch Brook Park — where Atlanta resident Defarra Gaymon, visiting for a high school reunion, was fatally shot after allegedly approaching an undercover detective with his member on full display and reaching for his pocket — will cease, say County Sheriff Armando Fontoura, until more uniformed police can be added.
