OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 06/20/2023, New Jersey State Police Detective Mark Campagna, who was off duty and driving an unmarked state police vehicle, began following Omar Kebbabi on Route 206 in Burlington County. Authorities later stated that Campagna chased Kebbabi for several miles at speeds exceeding 100 mph while making multiple lane changes. Investigators said Campagna never activated emergency lights or sirens and never notified dispatch or other law enforcement agencies about the pursuit as required by New Jersey Attorney General pursuit policies.
The pursuit ended at the intersection of Route 206 and Jacksonville-Jobstown Road in Springfield Township when Kebbabi crashed into another vehicle and died from his injuries. The driver of the other vehicle survived.
In 2025, a state grand jury indicted Campagna on a criminal charge of fourth-degree endangering another person. Prosecutors argued that Campagna conducted a reckless and unauthorized pursuit that endangered the public and directly contributed to the fatal crash. On 05/14/2026, a jury found Campagna guilty. Prosecutors stated that Campagna’s actions created a dangerous high-speed chase outside established police policy. Campagna now faces possible prison time, fines, and revocation of his law enforcement license.
