A New Jersey police chief is accused of defecating by desks, spiking others’ coffee with Viagra and other harassment.

North Bergen Police Department chief Robert Farley, who was sworn in as chief in February 2024, is the subject of a complaint by five officers who are planning to sue the township for Farley’s alleged retaliation, discrimination, sexual misconduct and harassment, NJ.com reported Wednesday.

The complaint alleges a hostile workplace that includes juvenile pranks, like putting firecrackers under chairs, to acts bordering on criminal like dosing the office coffee with drugs like Viagra and Adderall and jabbing a needle into an officer’s penis.

Michael Derrin, a special captain with administrative duties, claims Farley chased him around the office and cornered him before “[sticking] a hypodermic needle through [his] jeans into the tip of [his] penis,” drawing blood.

Derrin claims Farley would also shave and put his body hair on people and their food.

Lt. Alex Guzman claims Farley exposed himself, made inappropriate comments and defecated on the floor and in garbage cans.

Officer Rasheed Siyam claims to have been called racial slurs by Farley and others in the department. Officer Christopher Bowen claims he was punished with a shift change after missing arrest and traffic ticket quotas.

The complainants said the abusive behavior began as soon as Farley, a 26-year veteran of the department whose father and grandfather were deputy chiefs, was appointed the top job.

A state investigation is also underway after Farley was reported to the attorney general.
