A Paramus man claiming to work for Gov. Jon Corzine's re-election campaign was arrested Friday night on drug charges after police found Ecstasy tablets in his car, authorities said.
Shih told police he was an official in Corzine's campaign, and several tickets to today's rally with President Obama at Newark's Prudential Center were found in his car.
"I'm assistant deputy director of Gov. Corzine's campaign, and they rented this vehicle for my use.'" Shih is not suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but he was very nervous . . . "His hands were shaking,"
Corzine campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said Shih's claim is false, adding, "No one has ever heard of this guy."
