Former West Milford Township Attorney William DeMarco settled an assault charge brought against him by Town Councilman Bob Nolan last week. The charge stemmed from an incident on May 4, 2005 in which Nolan alleged that DeMarco attacked him physically during a closed board session. DeMarco was subsequently dismissed from his duties in the township. The settlement was reached on the evening before the matter was slated to be heard in court. Although DeMarco admitted no wrong doing, he agreed to provide 25 hours of pro bono services to Strengthen Our Sisters, a West Milford non profit group dedicated to helping victims of domestic abuse.
