Citizen Complaint: Noneillah Talk Show Host Naomi Johnson Steps Forward to Expose Constitutional Violations by Glen Ridge Police Leadership

By Noneillah Talk Show Investigative Desk

Glen Ridge, NJ — November 23, 2025

Noneillah Talk Show host Naomi Johnson, known for her advocacy-driven platform and unapologetic truth-telling, stepped into the public arena not just as a commentator—but as one of the People demanding constitutional accountability. In a formal complaint filed today, Johnson requested that Glen Ridge Police Chief Sean P. Quinn be added to both the Essex County and New Jersey State Brady/Giglio lists for his alleged role in ratifying dishonest and unlawful conduct by one of his subordinates.

Her filing is directed to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Brady/Giglio Unit, with copies sent to the New Jersey Attorney General, the Police Training Commission’s Brady Unit, and Glen Ridge Borough Administrator Michael Rohal.

The complaint centers around an incident on February 24, 2025, in which Sgt. Anthony Mazza seized and had Johnson’s 1995 Mustang towed without a judicial warrant, probable cause of a crime, or statutory authority. But Johnson says the deeper issue is not just Mazza’s actions—it’s the deliberate inaction of Chief Quinn after being personally notified, and his failure to uphold the Constitution he is sworn to protect.

What unfolds is a troubling portrait of alleged supervisory neglect, constitutional violations, and a pattern of conduct that now calls into question the credibility of the highest-ranking officer in the Glen Ridge Police Department.

A Certified Warning Ignored

Just two days after the incident, on February 26, 2025, Johnson mailed a Writ of Replevin to Chief Quinn via certified mail. The letter detailed:

• The warrantless seizure and towing of her vehicle

• The fact that she is a disabled civilian with handicap plates

• The unsafe and unlawful abandonment of her in cold weather

• Contradictory statements captured on Sgt. Mazza’s body-worn camera

• False information added retroactively to her traffic summons

• The fact that the seizure occurred outside of Glen Ridge jurisdiction

The writ demanded immediate release of her vehicle, free of predatory towing fees.

Johnson says Chief Quinn never responded.

A Pattern of Inaction That Amounts to Ratification

According to the filing, Chief Quinn:

• Refused to order the release of the vehicle, forcing Johnson to pay $575.69 in fees

• Never initiated an inquiry into Mazza’s contradictory statements

• Ignored jurisdictional violations documented on CAD reports

• Overlooked evidence of potential racial profiling, including Mazza handwriting “(B)” for “Black” on a state-issued ticket where no such field exists

• Failed to enforce ADA Title II protections for a disabled resident

• Allowed the vehicle to remain impounded for seven days, despite knowing Johnson relied on it

The complaint argues that this pattern of silence and refusal to act constitutes official ratification, transforming Mazza’s personal misconduct into department policy—a critical standard in Brady/Giglio and civil rights litigation (including Monell claims).

“If a chief of police won’t correct dishonesty, and instead approves it through inaction, then his testimony is compromised,” Johnson tells Noneillah Talk Show. “The public deserves to know when a law enforcement official has endorsed false statements or constitutional violations.”

Why Brady/Giglio Matters Here

The Brady and Giglio rulings require prosecutors to disclose information that could impeach the credibility of a government witness, including:

• Dishonesty

• Misleading statements

• Constitutional violations

• Failure to supervise or discipline known misconduct

• Ratification of false information

If Chief Quinn endorsed or ignored falsified statements, failed to investigate misconduct, or allowed unconstitutional seizures to stand, defense attorneys across the state must be informed.

Johnson’s filing argues exactly that.

Race Notation and Impossible Timestamps

Among the evidence Johnson attached is a uniform summons on which Sgt. Mazza handwrote “(B)” next to her name—despite New Jersey traffic citations having no race field. Legal experts have long recognized unauthorized race indicators as red flags for profiling and data manipulation.

Additionally, CAD logs allegedly show timestamps indicating the officer arrived before dispatch, a logistical impossibility that often raises questions about documentation integrity.

A Disabled Citizen Abandoned in the Cold

Perhaps the most disturbing detail is one easy for the public to understand: Johnson—visibly disabled, with state-issued handicap plates—was left stranded in the cold after her vehicle was seized.

“Basic humanity was missing,” Johnson said. “But more importantly, ADA protections were completely ignored. That is unconstitutional.”

The Question Now: Will Prosecutors Act?

Johnson’s request is clear:
Place Chief Sean P. Quinn on the Brady/Giglio list under the category of “Official Misconduct / Ratification of Subordinate Dishonesty and Constitutional Violations.”

Her declaration was submitted under penalty of perjury.

With the documents now in the hands of county and state officials, the next move belongs to the prosecution and oversight agencies.

If they agree with Johnson’s findings, Chief Quinn’s name will join the roster of law enforcement officials whose credibility cannot be assumed—and must be disclosed to every defense attorney in New Jersey.

Noneillah Talk Show Will Continue to Follow This Developing Story

Naomi Johnson has made one fact unmistakably clear:
She is no longer just reporting on injustice—she is documenting her own.

And she intends to shine light on every public official who believes they can operate above the Constitution.

More updates will follow as this story develops.

Complaint to Add Chief of Police Sean P. Quinn (Glen Ridge Police Department) to the Brady/Giglio List

Date: November 23, 2025

To: Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Attention: Brady/Giglio Disclosure Unit Veterans Courthouse 50 West Market Street Newark, NJ 07102

CC: New Jersey Attorney General – Division of Criminal Justice Police Training Commission / Brady Unit 25 Market Street, Trenton, NJ 08625

Subject: Request to Place Chief Sean P. Quinn on the Brady/Giglio List for Ratification of Subordinate Dishonesty, Failure to Supervise, and Deliberate Indifference to Known Constitutional Violations

Dear Brady/Giglio Coordinator,

I respectfully request that Chief of Police Sean P. Quinn, head of the Glen Ridge Police Department, be added to the Essex County and State of New Jersey Brady/Giglio disclosure lists. Chief Quinn’s deliberate refusal to correct, investigate, or remedy known unconstitutional and dishonest conduct by a subordinate officer (Sgt. Anthony Mazza) on February 24, 2025, and his subsequent ratification of that misconduct through inaction, renders him unfit to provide credible testimony or sworn statements in criminal proceedings.

Single Category of Misconduct (as required by most forms):

“Official Misconduct / Ratification of Subordinate Dishonesty and Constitutional Violations” (or the closest equivalent: “Failure to Supervise Resulting in Ratification of False Statements / Brady Material”)

Factual Summary Supporting Brady/Giglio Placement of Chief Quinn

1. Personal Notice via Certified Writ of Replevin On or about February 26, 2025, I served Chief Sean P. Quinn by certified mail (with return receipt) a Writ of Replevin and accompanying affidavit notifying him that:

   • Sgt. Anthony Mazza had, on February 24, 2025, unlawfully seized and caused to be towed my privately owned 1995 Mustang conveyance without judicial warrant, probable cause of a crime, or statutory authority;
   • I am a disabled civilian with handicap plates;
   • I was left stranded in cold weather in violation of ADA Title II and department SOPs;
   • Sgt. Mazza made provably false and contradictory statements on body-worn camera (calling a Title 39 infraction a “crime”) and added impossible-to-observe violations after the fact;
   • The seizure occurred outside Glen Ridge jurisdiction (Montclair).

   I demanded immediate return of my conveyance without payment of predatory towing fees.

2. Chief Quinn’s Deliberate Inaction and Ratification Despite being the final policymaker and supervisor:

   • Chief Quinn never responded to the certified Writ of Replevin;
   • He refused to order the release of my vehicle without payment to a private towing company;
   • He failed to initiate any supervisory inquiry into Sgt. Mazza’s obvious dishonesty and jurisdictional overreach;
   • He allowed the vehicle to remain impounded for seven days, causing spoilage of groceries and $575.69 in illegal fees;
   • He failed to enforce GRPD Standard Operating Procedures requiring assistance to disabled motorists and prohibiting impoundment solely for unregistered status without additional factors;
   • He failed to enforce the New Jersey Predatory Towing Prevention Act and municipal ordinances prohibiting such seizures;
   • By his silence and inaction, he ratified Sgt. Mazza’s false statements and unconstitutional conduct, making that misconduct official department policy under Monell and supervisory-liability standards.

3. Additional Supervisory Duties Breached by Chief Quinn

   • Failed to review body-worn camera footage showing Sgt. Mazza’s contradictory statements;
   • Failed to reconcile impossible CAD timestamps (officer “arrived” before being dispatched);
   • Failed to discipline or retrain Sgt. Mazza for altering an official uniform summons by handwriting “(B)” for race when no such field exists on New Jersey tickets — evidence of potential racial profiling;
   • Failed to ensure compliance with ADA Title II obligations toward a visibly disabled citizen;
   • Failed to maintain or enforce departmental policy on territorial jurisdiction;
   • Allowed a pattern of refusing to provide required towing reports, CAD records, or assistance to citizens.

Chief Quinn’s deliberate indifference and ratification of known dishonesty and constitutional violations directly impair his credibility as a witness. Prosecutors relying on his testimony, affidavits for warrants, or certifications of department practices would be presenting a witness who has personally endorsed and covered up provable officer untruthfulness.

For these reasons, Chief Sean P. Quinn must be placed on the Brady/Giglio list under the category of ratification of subordinate dishonesty and failure to supervise so that defense counsel and courts may properly evaluate his testimony in any future case.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Respectfully submitted,

Naomi Johnson
