When he phoned Red Bank Police Chief Tim Christol on Jan. 8 to resign his post as a police officer, Bradley Hanon promised to get City Manager Chris Dorsey fired within a few weeks, according to Christol.
“It was something along the lines that I needed to distance myself from [Dorsey] because he was only going to be here another month,” said Christol, who was hired in November.
Hanon told him he would persuade a majority of city commissioners to fire Dorsey, Christol said.
“He said it very evenhandedly,” the police chief said.
Hanon denied using those exact words, but he admitted “giving advice” to Christol.
