TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Two New Jersey state troopers have been
suspended without pay after being accused of escorting a caravan of
high-performance cars on a 100-mph trip down the Garden State
Parkway.

The state attorney general's office announced the suspensions of
Sgt. 1st Class Nadir Nassry and Trooper Joseph Ventrella on Monday.
Nassry's attorney says reports of speeding and reckless driving are
exaggerated. It wasn't immediately known if Ventrella had an
attorney.

The alleged incident occurred March 30. Witnesses told the state
Turnpike Authority two state police cars were escorting the caravan.

The Star-Ledger of Newark was first to report the incident.

An agent for former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs
says that his client drove to Atlantic City that day, but won't say whether Jacobs was part of the caravan.
