Ex-Ocean Township cop avoids jail after paying restitution for forgery

FREEHOLD – A former Ocean Township police officer has been sentenced to three years of probation for theft and forgery for his former part-time work flipping and renting out houses, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

Cory R. Cole, 52, of Brielle, was sentenced Thursday after paying $8,400 in restitution to two victims.

In March, Cole pleaded guilty to three counts of third-degree theft and one count of fourth-degree forgery, taking a plea deal that would leave him facing 180 days in Monmouth County Jail. He avoided the jail time by paying the restitution, a news release from the prosecutor’s office said.

Cole was indicted in June 2021 on nine counts, including several theft and forgery charges and a theft by deception charge.
