Police captain suing town to recoup back pay she is owed

Irvington Police Division Capt. Monique Smith, who was cleared by Superior Court Judge Michael Ravin in July 2017 of criminal charges related to an off-duty incident with Newark Councilman John Sharpe James in 2014, is still trying to reclaim $300,000 in back pay she claims she was due when she returned to work a year ago.
