An internal investigation has found a New Jersey state trooper who was providing security for Gov. Chris Christie posed as a member of the media to photograph protesters during a town hall event in March.
Acting Attorney General John Hoffman says the trooper assumed the role of a photographer to blend in at the event in South River in which about a dozen protesters criticized the way the Christie administration distributed Superstorm Sandy aid.
Hoffman's spokesman Paul Loriquet tells NJ.com the attorney general concluded posing as a member of the media is not an approved tactic for security details.
The protesters were escorted out.
The trooper was not disciplined.
