Pete Byron, who was sentenced to three years probation for tax evasion in August, has severed as the mayor of the Jersey Shore town since 2020
Byron, who has served as mayor since 2020, was re-indicted that same day in August on state charges he fraudulently enrolled in the state’s health benefits program. Those charges are pending.Bryon had previously said he didn’t plan to resign as mayor. He couldn’t immediately be reached by NJ Advance Media on Thursday morning.
In the federal case, Byron received three years probation and was ordered to pay a $14,000 fine and more than $7,014 in restitution, according to court documents. In June, state Superior Court Judge Bernard DeLury, Jr., dismissed a previous indictment against all three Wildwood residents “without prejudice” — allowing the Attorney General’s Office to re-present to a grand jury.
