Police: Morristown official beats 'friend,' curses cops
Sunday, January 15, 2006
BY BILL SWAYZE AND NYIER ABDOU
Star-Ledger Staff
Newly elected Morristown Councilman John Cryan saw the inside of the county jail yesterday when he was arrested for attacking a local bar manager in a drunken brawl, authorities said.
Cryan, 32, who owns John's Delicatessen on Washington Street, was charged with burglary and aggravated assault after entering the Dark Horse Lounge on DeHart Street after hours and attacking the manager, police said.
Cryan, a scion of the politically connected Cryan family, has held his council seat for only two weeks. He apologized yesterday for the incident, saying it was "unfortunate a private matter between friends had to escalate."
The Dark Horse was closed at 2 a.m. yesterday when staff opened the side entrance to take out the trash and found an inebriated Cryan waiting outside the door, police said. Cryan, who used to work as head bartender at the popular night spot, said nothing and walked in.
General Manager Kevin Walsh told police he extended his hand to Cryan and said, "'What's up?'" With that, Cryan suddenly pulled back and "sucker punched" him, Walsh told police. Cryan continued punching Walsh until he was knocked to the ground, his face bloodied, police said.
Police were in the area as part of an initiative to stem fights and public drunkenness near bars and late-night spots. Cryan was detained while police viewed the bar's surveillance tapes, which captured Cryan beating Walsh, authorities said.
Cryan angrily cursed police as he was arrested and taken to the county jail, authorities said. He spent about four hours there before a friend posted $7,500 bail.
Reached at home yesterday, Cryan said he took "full responsibility" for his actions and said he already apologized to Walsh.
"Kevin Walsh and I are -- and remain -- friends," Cryan said. "I'm very sorry for my actions. It was very silly of me."
Matt Wirths, who co-owns the Dark Horse with Walsh's brother, Billy, said Kevin Walsh and Cryan were "like brothers." Wirths called Cryan "a great guy." Wirths' wife is partners with Cryan in John's Delicatessen.
"There will be no more joking around between those two (Cryan and Kevin Walsh)," Wirths said.
Cryan, a nephew of former longtime Essex County Sheriff John F. Cryan and cousin of state Assemblyman Joseph Cryan of Union, said he had a few beers at a gathering Friday night before the incident.
He was walking home when he thought to stop and check on complaints he had heard about trash in the area of the Dark Horse. But Cryan did not elaborate on how his stop in the area led to going down the stairs, entering the Dark Horse and attacking Walsh.
Cryan said the assault was the end result of back-and-forth "busting chops" and "ribbing" between two friends, but wouldn't get specific.
"I would like to apologize to my family and the people of Morristown," Cryan said.
"I'm certainly disappointed," said new mayor and longtime Councilman Donald Cresitello, who ran with Cryan on the Democratic ticket. "But he's young and foolish."
Cresitello said he was "not happy" about the incident, noting some residents "certainly are going to be upset about it." But he added the experience had humbled Cryan.
"I'm sure he's embarrassed by it," Cresitello said. "This will certainly teach him a lesson. He has to learn to control his temper."
Cryan's successful bid for town council was his first run for public office, although he has served on the town's board of adjustment.
Wirths said, "The Dark Horse is not going to press charges" against Cryan. He added that Walsh did not intend to press charges, either. Walsh was not available for comment last night.
The mayor, however, said the court system "will have to take its course."

Assault case spurs call for councilman to quit
Tuesday, January 17, 2006
BY BILL SWAYZE
Star-Ledger Staff
Calls for Morristown Councilman John Cryan's resignation rippled through town yesterday, with officials and residents saying he should step down or be removed from office after his alleged attack on a bar manager Saturday.
The victim doesn't care about that, however. He's still wondering why Cryan, an acquaintance and former co-worker, pummeled him, he said.
"It makes no sense. The bar was closed. He comes in smiling and walks up to me, extends his left hand and as he shakes my left, he sucker punches me with his right," said Kevin Walsh, the 28-year-old general manager of the Dark Horse Lounge.
Council members also are baffled. "A young guy is entitled to be stupid, but this is very bad for the town. It's not going to blow over. He should resign," said Councilman Tim Jackson.
Cryan, 32, was charged with burglary and aggravated assault after entering the Dark Horse Lounge on DeHart Street after hours and attacking Walsh, police said. The bar's surveillance tapes captured Cryan beating Walsh, authorities said.
Cryan, who owns John's Delicatessen on Washington Street and used to work at the Dark Horse as a bartender, has held his council seat for just two weeks.
Councilman Richard Tighe said a number of residents have complained to him and are considering a recall campaign. "If this (the criminal charges) turn out to be true, he should step down," he said.
Others want him to vacate his seat immediately.
"If I were him, I stepped down to do what is right," said Anthony Allocco, a 33-year-old resident.
Tighe also noted the criminal charges could have repercussions on his business and the liquor license the business holds.
But new Mayor Donald Cresitello, who ran with Cryan on the Democratic ticket, said, "This is a disorderly persons offense. He is sorry and I am embarrassed, but people make mistakes. The decision is his (to resign or not), and I don't think he is going to resign. He has a problem and he is going to deal with it."
Cryan did not return phone calls yesterday.
On Saturday, Cryan offered a public apology, saying it was "unfortunate a private matter between friends had to escalate."
He also said he apologized to Walsh on Saturday. But Walsh said Cryan left a message on his answering machine only yesterday.
Cryan said he had a few beers at a gathering Friday night before the attack. He said the assault was the end result of back-and-forth "busting chops" and "ribbing" between two friends, but wouldn't get specific.
Walsh said he doesn't know what Cryan is talking about. "I still don't know what that was all about," he said.
Cryan spent four hours at the county jail before a friend posted his $7,500 bail. He is due in municipal court this week.
"His behavior is inexcusable. I don't want him representing me, and this is not sour grapes," said Linda Carrington, who unsuccessfully campaigned for a council seat last year. "There is support for a recall."
Cryan is a nephew of former Essex County Sheriff John F. Cryan and cousin of state Assemblyman Joseph Cryan of Union. The new councilman also has served on the town's board of adjustment.

History of brawls hurting Morristown councilman
Most recent incident has spurred calls for John Cryan's resignation
Thursday, January 19, 2006
BY BILL SWAYZE
Star-Ledger Staff
John Cryan -- the Morristown councilman charged with attacking a bar manager Saturday -- has a history of fighting, getting arrested two years ago after throwing fists outside a bar, police records show.
Three years before that fight, police looked into another fracas and claims that Cryan hit a man in the face at a birthday party, possibly fracturing his nose. Cryan was not charged, however.
Cryan's latest punches have landed the new councilman on the political ropes, with some elected officials and local residents calling for his resignation.
Just two weeks into his four-year term, Cryan, 32, was charged with burglary and aggravated assault after entering the Dark Horse Lounge on DeHart Street after hours and attacking 28-year-old general manager Kevin Walsh, police said.
The bar's surveillance tapes captured Cryan beating Walsh, authorities said.
Cryan has not returned phone calls seeking comment for three days. He is due to make his first municipal court appearance today.
Mayor Donald Cresitello said he was not aware of those two previous incidents and doesn't know whether his running mate will step down.
"He told me he's going to see an anger management counselor and an alcohol counselor," he said.
For Cryan, tempers flared the night of Sept. 6, 2003. He was charged with simple assault after a fight inside the Famished Frog nightspot spilled out into the street in front of police, according to police reports.
With a cut above his right eye, Cryan and a man named Patrick Locke, 24, of Mount Arlington, had gotten into a dispute, with Cryan claiming Locke was bothering his girlfriend and surprised him by punching him, possibly with a bottle in his hand, according to the report.
Locke, who also was charged with simple assault, claimed Cryan harassed him as Locke talked to a group of women, then wrestled with him after Cryan grabbed him, the report states. Both men were escorted out of the bar. The fight continued outside, according to the report.
Cryan was taken to Morristown Memorial Hospital, where he received several stitches. The charge against Cryan was later downgraded and he pleaded guilty to annoying a police officer and paid a $230 fine, according to police and records.
On Oct. 14, 2000, police responded to a 911 hang-up by showing up at a birthday party at a Washington Avenue apartment and talking to a man who said Cryan punched him in his nose, according to a police report. The man, Kenneth Lee LaReau, told police that he first defended himself against Cryan's brother Charles before John Cryan hit him. Cryan, however, told police LaReau took a swing at him first, according to the report.
No charges were filed, police said.
Cryan, who owns John's Delicatessen on Washington Street and used to work at the Dark Horse as a bartender, on Saturday offered a public apology, saying it was "unfortunate a private matter between friends had to escalate."
Cryan said he had a few beers at a gathering Friday night before the attack. He said the assault was the end result of back-and-forth "busting chops" and "ribbing" between two friends, but wouldn't get specific.
Walsh said he doesn't know what Cryan is talking about.
Cryan is a nephew of former Essex County Sheriff John F. Cryan and cousin of state Assemblyman Joseph Cryan of Union. The new councilman also has served on the town's board of adjustment.

Morristown official skips court session
Councilman accused of aggravated assault
Friday, January 20, 2006
BY BILL SWAYZE
Star-Ledger Staff
Morristown Councilman John Cryan was a no-show in municipal court yesterday for a judge to formally detail criminal charges against him for allegedly attacking a bar manager.
Cryan's name was read out loud in the courtroom at the end of a two-hour session, but he was not present.
Municipal Court Judge Michael Noonan, who did not admonish Cryan, said the case is headed to Superior Court because of the seriousness of the charges.
Reached last night at home, Cryan said he would have gone to court, but his attorney told him he did not have to appear. His attorney also told him his case cannot be heard in Morristown municipal court because he is a town councilman, Cryan said.
Only two weeks into his first four-year term, Cryan, 32, was charged Saturday with burglary and aggravated assault after entering the Dark Horse Lounge on DeHart Street after hours and attacking 28-year-old general manager Kevin Walsh, police said.
On the bar's video surveillance tape that captured the assault, Cryan is seen walking up to Walsh with his left hand extended for a handshake. Walsh shakes his hand, but Cryan punches him in the face with his right hand, then continues to assault him before bar staff separate the two.
The matter will be reviewed by the Morris County Prosecutor's Office because Cryan was charged with third-degree crimes, which carry a maximum prison sentence of three to five years.
Police records show Cryan was arrested two years ago after throwing punches outside the Famished Frog nightspot in 2003. He and his opponent were charged with simple assault.
The charge against Cryan later was downgraded, and he pleaded guilty to annoying a police officer and paid a $230 fine, according to police and records.
Three years before that fight, police looked into another fracas and claims that Cryan hit a man in the face at a birthday party. Cryan, however, was not charged.
In addition, Cryan was charged with possession of under 50 grams of marijuana in a car in Madison in 1998. He paid a $780 fine and received a conditional discharge, allowing him to avoid pleading guilty and successfully participate in a probationary program, according to the Madison municipal court and court records.
Cryan said the small amount of marijuana was in the trunk of someone else's car he was driving that night because he was the only one who was sober. The marijuana was not his, he said, noting he took a blood test that night and the results were negative for any drugs in his system.
He declined further comment last night.
But some are calling for Cryan's resignation.
Bill Braunschweiger, owner of Braunschweiger's Jewelers, a 48-year-old business in town, yesterday fired off e-mail to the directors of the Morristown Partnership Inc., which oversees the town's special improvement district.
"I told them we should take a position and request that John Cryan resign," he said.
Cryan, who owns John's Delicatessen on Washington Street and used to work at the Dark Horse as a bartender, on Saturday offered a public apology, saying it was "unfortunate a private matter between friends had to escalate."
Cryan said he had a few beers at a gathering Friday night before the attack. He said the assault was the end result of back-and-forth "busting chops" and "ribbing" between two friends, but would not be specific.
Walsh said he doesn't know what Cryan is talking about.
Cryan is a nephew of the late former Essex County Sheriff John F. Cryan and a cousin of state Assemblyman Joseph Cryan of Union. The new councilman also has served on the town's board of adjustment.

Councilman applauded for apology
Cryan says he sought help for alcohol abuse
Wednesday, January 25, 2006
BY MAURA McDERMOTT
Star-Ledger Staff
John Cryan, the newly elected Morristown councilman who has been charged with attacking a former co-worker in a bar, earned applause at a council meeting last night when he apologized and promised to seek counseling.
Cryan told a standing-room-only crowd of more than 100 that his late father, a native of rural Ireland, once advised him not to cause trouble in the street "where you might frighten and stampede the horses.
"He was a wise man and if he were alive today he would have been ashamed of my conduct that night and of the way I treated my friend," Cryan continued.
Cryan, 32, said he has sought counseling for alcohol abuse.
"It is a battle that I intend to win," he said, reading from a statement.
If it hadn't been for Cryan's troubles, the main subject last night would have been the council's appointment of longtime resident James Smith to fill the seat vacated by Mayor Donald Cresitello.
But for more than a week, the hot topic in town has been the alleged assault of Kevin Walsh, general manager of the Dark Horse Tavern, where Cryan was once head bartender.
On Jan. 14, two weeks after taking his oath of office, Cryan allegedly entered the bar at 2 a.m. and attacked Walsh, with what Walsh later described as a "sucker punch." A surveillance camera recorded the incident, police said.
"I am truly sorry," Cryan said last night, calling the incident "inexcusable."
Cryan, who owns John's Delicatessen, is facing charges of aggravated assault and burglary. A Morristown judge transferred the case to Superior Court last week, and Cryan said he is due in court on Friday to fill out paperwork.
If Cryan is convicted, he would need to step down from his council seat, officials said.
Cryan has described the incident as a minor dispute between friends, a version of events that Walsh has disputed. Walsh could not be reached last night.
No one in the crowd spoke publicly about the charges last night, either to express support or to call for Cryan's resignation. Cryan said he was surprised no one criticized him.
"Maybe people have accepted my apology," he said. "I have to work through these problems."
Some of his fellow council members have rallied around him.
Council President Anthony Cattano appointed Cryan to be liaison to the parking authority. It was a vote of confidence, Cattano said after the meeting.
"John is going to be a tremendous council member," Cattano said. "He made a mistake and I want to show that I'm backing him."
Councilman Dick Tighe agreed. "I think John's trying to straighten his life out and I think he deserves a chance," Tighe said after the meeting.
But Councilman Tim Jackson said he got calls from at least 15 residents saying Cryan should step down. Jackson said he was "shocked" that no one called for Cryan's resignation last night.
"It's not over," Jackson said. "It still has to go to court."
Cryan, who has served on the board of adjustment, is a cousin of state Assemblyman Joseph Cryan of Union, and his uncle is the late former Essex County Sheriff John F. Cryan.
Meanwhile Smith, who co-owns a local plumbing and heating business founded by his great-grandfather in 1891, said his top priority as councilman will be encouraging redevelopment.
Two council members voted for Myra Bowie McCready rather than Smith. McCready, 50, a local volunteer, moved to town 2 1/2 years ago from Greenwich, Conn., where she served on the local ethics board.
John Codd, 47, a real estate attorney who chairs the board of adjustment and local Democratic committee, was nominated by the committee for the council seat, but no council member voted for him.
Smith, 43, will need to run in a primary in June and the general election in November if he wants to keep the seat.

JTA- Kicking a guy while he's down is not something one should revel in. Public record or not, you are doing nothing positive here. I suggest you quit this venomous spew. It is something I'm sure Mr. Cryan wished had never happened.
He is a great guy who made a mistake. We all stray from the righteous path once in a blue moon. |

Let's see, Morris County business owner, who grew up and supposedly currently lives in Morris County and just happens to be a Morris County politician, goes into a neghboring Morris County business and does something dumb, and it's necessary to broadcast it ad nauseum to a non-Morris County crowd because the Morris County subject happens to have a cousin who owns a business and is involved in this community?
Is there a little trashing by association going on here? Perhaps a little ax to grind? Why else does it have anything to do with us in M/SO otherwise?
Most, probably all of us have relations that we are less than proud of.
Perhaps people need to take a second and look a little inward at themselves before airing other people's dirty laundry.
Sure, they may be Democrats, but they ain't Kennedy's!!! |

Party leader and the debatable donation
Would-be developer says he slipped Assemblyman Cryan $2,000
Sunday, January 29, 2006
BY IAN T. SHEARN
Star-Ledger Staff
A Union resident who hoped to develop a vacant property in the township said he gave then-Assembly candidate Joseph Cryan $2,000 in cash as a political contribution in 2001 -- a donation not reflected in the legislator's campaign finance reports.
Cryan, now the Assembly deputy majority leader and a favorite to soon be named chairman of the state Democratic Party, denied receiving the money. He characterized his accuser, Carol Segal, 65, as a "lunatic" looking for revenge because his development plans fell through.
"I don't take cash from anybody," Cryan, 44, said last week in an interview. "You're just giving a lunatic an agenda he doesn't deserve."
However, Segal's former business partner said he saw Segal hand Cryan an envelope containing 20 $100 bills during the June 20, 2001, event at the Galloping Hill Inn in Union. Louis Papale, 52, who runs a car dealership in Union, said he watched Segal count the money and place it in a worn, white envelope.
Cryan informed Gov. Jon Corzine of the allegations last week and said they were unfounded, according to two Democratic officials with knowledge of the conversation. The Democratic State Committee was scheduled to vote on a new chairman last week, but Corzine has put election on hold indefinitely, party spokesman Richard McGrath said.
Segal, who is suing the township over his property, said Cryan invited him to the fund-raiser about a month after they met at a Clifton diner to discuss development plans for the abandoned industrial site in Union. At the time, Cryan was the township's Democratic chairman and a Union County undersheriff -- positions he still holds.
Also at the meeting, Segal said, was a prospective developer for the property, Fred Daibes, and one of his executives, Michael Crilley, as well as Papale.
Papale said Cryan was briefed on Daibes' proposal to build a 240-apartment complex on the land, which Segal was in the process of obtaining by purchasing tax liens. Both Papale and Segal said Cryan was generally supportive of the idea.
But Cryan said he has no recollection of the meeting at the Tic Toc Diner, and said he has never heard of Papale, Daibes or Crilley.
"I'm scratching my head, and I don't remember it," Cryan said of the alleged diner meeting.
Daibes, an Edgewater-based developer, said he met with Segal, Papale and Crilley at the Tic Toc, but that Cryan wasn't there.
"I never met with Cryan," he said in an interview. "He was supposed to be there, but he didn't show."
Crilley declined to answer questions about the fundraiser or any meeting.
Cryan said Segal "has been stalking me" for years about the development, and that he told Segal he has no authority to make local development decisions.
But Segal and Papale said Cryan wields considerable influence over the all-Democratic township committee, which is why they sought him out.
Segal said he thought it prudent to support Cryan's first campaign for the Assembly in 2001. Segal said he paid $200 in cash to get into the fundraiser, and then he and Papale waited their turn for an audience with Cryan. Segal handed Cryan the cash, along with several checks Papale had gathered from business associates, Segal and Papale said.
Both Segal and Papale said they were willing to sign sworn statements and submit to polygraph tests.
Asked if Cryan would do the same, his attorney, Tim Donohue, said: "We will not dignify their nonsense allegations with any further comment. Both men will become aware of our full response in the very near future."
Cryan's first campaign report after the Galloping Hill event shows he received $37,325 in donations of $400 or less during that period, which, by law, do not have to be itemized. He received an additional $17,000 in donations over $400, according to the report, though none was listed as being from Segal.
State election law prohibits cash donations over $200. Not reporting a contribution over $400 is also a violation, punishable by fine up to $4,300 for a first offense. Using a contribution for personal use can be an indictable offense.
Segal said the Tic Toc Diner meeting was just one of many with Cryan the past five years to discuss developing the property.
Cryan, the son of late Essex County Sheriff John Cryan, said that other than Segal showing up often at his legislative office in Union, there were no meetings.
ORDINANCE REVISED
Segal, a retired chemical engineer, purchased tax liens on 11 acres in the southern end of the township known as the Schaefer Salt Co. site. By the end of 2004, he had taken deed for the property.
A year ago, township officials drafted an ordinance to designate the property a redevelopment site and "work with the property owner" to build townhouses there.
But in May, when the ordinance was introduced, that language had been removed. Instead, the plan called for the township to choose its own developer and reserve the right to seize the property through eminent domain.
The introduction of the revised ordinance came three days after developers Albert G. Mauti Jr. and his cousin, Joseph, hosted a fundraiser that raised more than $70,000 for Cryan. In September, the township committee unanimously voted to start negotiating with Mauti's company to develop the site.
Mauti and Cryan deny the fundraiser had any bearing on the committee's votes, and Cryan emphasized he has no control over matters of local government.
Last month, the committee rescinded its redevelopment plan and ended negotiations with the Mautis to be the developer of Segal's property. They said Segal's lawsuit, aimed at preventing the township from naming its own developer, would prove too costly to continue. The property remains zoned for industrial use only.

No need to copy and paste articles here for my benefit - I'm very much capable of reading the Ledger myself, and usually do.
I ask again:
Is there a little trashing by association going on here? Perhaps a little ax to grind? Why else does it have anything to do with us in M/SO otherwise?
Is there something you're looking to accomplish?
If a member of your family was the focus of less than seemly innuendo, whether by deed or allegation, would you wish to see us painting you with the same brush?
Has no one in your family had a less than illustrious moment? |

Never met the Morris County kid, but Joe Cryan is a decent and honest guy by all accounts. I knew him years ago back in Vailsburg and when he lived in South Orange, and he was always a very likeable and respectable guy, nothing like the image cast by Morristown's young councilman-elect.
The story from Union County is worth watching, but I tend to believe that Joe Cryan is being set up. Time will tell. |

JTA- Do not tell me what I believe. The Cryan family has been nothing short of neighbourly and hospitable to me for over 30 years. In fact as soon as I saw Sunday's Ledger I thought "Oh no, JTA will post this too!" Honestly, that was my first thought. Please stop this. It is really none of your business. |
