N.J. cop facing review for harassing, pro-Trump tweets

ELMER -- A borough police lieutenant's online activity is under review after posts on social media appeared to show his strong support of President Donald Trump while taking aim at a variety of Democrats and national news figures.

Steven Felice, whose Twitter account has since been deleted, is a lieutenant with the Elmer Police Department, according to the borough's website. He is one of seven officers serving in the department, according to the website.

"We're aware of it and the matter is under internal review by the Elmer Police Department," Salem County Prosecutor John Lenahan said Saturday.

Elmer police Chief Pat Bryan did not immediately respond to a request for comment left Saturday at department headquarters. No one from the department or prosecutor's office was able to to say what Felice's duty status will be during the review process.
