New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin announced the resignation of Warren County Prosecutor James Pfeiffer this past Friday. No reason was given for the abrupt departure of Pfeiffer. All a spokesman would say was Pfeiffer's resignation resulted from an investigation by Platkin's Office of Integrity and Accountability. Anthony Piccone who is Deputy Director of the same Office of Integrity and Accountability immediately took over for Pfeiffer as acting prosecutor. More details about the findings of the investigation will be released when "all impacted parties have received the required notification." according to a spokesman for the Attorney General. Piccone grew up in Warren County.
