After meeting with New Jersey’s State Police superintendent, the head of the troopers union has agreed to hold off on plans to reveal personal information about New Jersey One-Oh-One-Point Five radio personalities.

The union president, David Jones, denies any wrongdoing in his war of words with the station.

But he agreed to comply with a request state Police Colonel Rick Fuentes made during a meeting yesterday to discuss the matter.

Meanwhile, officials are probing whether Jones broke any rules in the squabble.

On Thursday, Jones displayed for T-V cameras the home address and license plate number of the station’s afternoon co-host Craig Carton.

Carton and his partner on Wednesday had discussed anonymous postings on the union’s password-protected Web site threatening a ticket blitz. The posters were upset about the treatment of the trooper who drove Governor Corzine’s S-U-V when it crashed.

The union leader denies there was a ticket-writing campaign.

The radio hosts have demanded an apology from Jones and want him punished. But Jones says he abused no police authority in getting Carton’s information.

I think that this needs to be examined in great detail. It’s an abuse of power AND it’ll have a chilling effect on freedom of the press!
