According to the board's decision, Bolzoni was also arrested and charged in Oct. 2014 with threatening to kill, stalking, criminal sexual contact and simple assault.
Two weeks before the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office announced the sex assault charge against Bolzoni, he was arrested by Delaware State Police after a traffic stop allegedly revealed he had 10.4 pounds of marijuana in his trunk.
Bolzoni was initially stopped on Jan. 29 for speeding on the Sussex Highway in Laurel, Del., but as the trooper questioned him, he began to act suspiciously and kept changing his story about his destination, police previously said.

Bolzoni allegedly agreed to a search his Chevrolet Malibu during which the trooper found three large, sealed cardboard mailing boxes in the trunk. He was unable to explain what was in the boxes to the trooper, but a drug-sniffing dog detected possible drugs in the boxes, police have said.
Inside the boxes, troopers found nine vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana labeled "Grand Daddy," police have said.
Bolzoni has not responded or filed a response to the Board of Examiners' order to show cause as to why his credential shouldn't be suspended.
