The wife of New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who claimed she was the victim of a racially biased traffic stop in Madison on Friday, has been accused of operating a motor vehicle while on a cell phone and having tinted windows, according to the Madison police chief.
Meanwhile, Madison police have "proactively referred" Cromartie's allegations "to the proper county authority as per the New Jersey Attorney General guidelines," Chief Darren Dachisen said in a statement released late Monday afternoon.
Terricka Cromartie took to Instagram following the incident Friday morning, saying she was "pulled over for driving black in Madison."
Cromartie on Friday claimed she had been pulled over for no reason, asked to roll down her windows and asked why she was in Madison.
She posted both a video of the officer talking to her and her own comments but later both were taken down.
Following the incident Friday, a Madison police spokesman said the department would be "looking into" Cromartie's charges, and that was confirmed in the five-sentence statement issued by Dachisen late Monday afternoon.
Dachisen said the department "discovered" Cromartie's complaint "through a media inquiry and social media," and referred it to the unnamed county agency.
The summonses for the tinted windows and cell phone use will be "adjudicated" in Madison Municipal Court "in the near future," Dachisen said.
Meanwhile, he added, Cromartie's "allegations will be thoroughly and objectively investigated to their logical conclusion."
Dachisen was not immediately available for further comment on which county authority received the complaint or the date of Cromartie's court appearance.
After the Jets' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Antonio Cromartie was asked about his wife's profiling allegations against the Madison police.
"Nah, I'm not talking about that," he said.
