SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The charges against Garrett Smith, the mayor of Roselle, N.J., include one count of insurance fraud and two of filing false police reports, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported. An indictment was handed up Wednesday in Union County.

Smith allegedly hit a parked car as he drove away from a bar in the small hours. Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow said police officers tracked a trail of fluid that led them to Smith's garage.

Romankow said Smith claimed his car had been hit by another vehicle while parked on the street during a severe snowstorm the day after Christmas.

Smith announced Tuesday he is running for a third term.
