Jones and Tocchet were each implicated earlier this year by New Jersey authorities in an alleged illegal gambling ring. Attorneys for Jones and Tocchet filed notice May 8 that they plan to sue the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety, the state police and the head of the state police public information office for allegedly defaming them by illegally releasing evidence from confidential wiretaps. The court documents, filed in Trenton, N. J., were obtained by the Newark Star-Ledger and published in a story Thursday.
