: Chiappone accused of taking signs

: Bayonne Councilman-at-Large Anthony Chiappone has a date in court after several "Doria for Mayor" signs were found in his parked car Monday night, police said. 

: The mayor's campaign manager is accusing Chiappone of theft, but the council member says a sign crew driving his car took down the signs because the residents had asked they be replaced with "Conaghan for Mayor" signs. 

: Police Director Mark Smith said a witness told cops she saw Chiappone and Rick Pasquale, a Bayonne DPW employee, pulling down signs for Mayor Joseph V. Doria Jr. on Avenue A before fleeing on foot. 

: Smith said cops found four signs in the back seat of Chiappone's unlocked car, parked in a nearby A&P lot. The car had no registration and was impounded, Smith said. Chiappone said his car's registration expired June 1 and he had mailed in his registration forms and check, but hadn't yet received his new card. 

: Chiappone explained the signs in his car by saying two unnamed residents requested their Doria signs be replaced with Patrick Conaghan signs, and that a sign crew driving his car had just done so when they were "frightened off" by police surrounding the car. 

: Chiappone said he wasn't in the area Monday night. 

: Nick Mangelli, Doria's campaign manager, filed a complaint yesterday morning claiming the signs in Chiappone's car were stolen. Chiappone and Pasquale must appear at 9 a.m. on June 26 in municipal court, where they could be formally charged with theft. 

: Mangelli and Pasquale could not be reached for comment.
