EAST ORANGE – County authorities have arrested city building inspector Salahudyin Jones on charges of bribery and extortion, authorities said Thursday.
Jones, 31, of East Orange, was arrested at City Hall Thursday morning, and later processed and released, officials said.
A two-month investigation led authorities to allege that Jones demanded bribes ranging from $200 to $500 in exchange for dismissing building code violations and obtaining building certifications, said a spokesman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.
No additional details were immediately available, but authorities said the investigation is ongoing.
If convicted, Jones will face 5 to 10 years in prison for each charged count. His first appearance in court is scheduled for July 2.
