The head of the police force for New York’s airports and bridges authority retired on Monday amid reports that a police escort for conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh had triggered an internal investigation.
Limbaugh said last month on his radio show that he had received a special rush-hour police escort from Newark Liberty International Airport to a Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation gala in New York where Limbaugh was to speak.
Fedorko could not immediately be reached through the Port Authority, and an agency spokesman was not available to comment on whether an internal investigation was underway.
The Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation’s website lists Fedorko, a former Marine, as a vice president.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey runs the region’s major airports, the tunnels and bridges to New York and its seaport.
Deputy Superintendent Edward Cetnar will replace Fedorko as acting superintendent, the port authority statement said.
