Less than a day after releasing a statement saying he would remain in office, embattled Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino has submitted his resignation. Several undersheriffs in the department have submitted their resignations as well.
Calls for Saudino to step down piled up after he was heard on tape making racist remarks against African-Americans and Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, a Sikh.
The comments were recorded in January after Gov. Phil Murphy’s inauguration.
