The New Jersey dad accused of killing his 6-year-old son by forcing him through grueling treadmill workouts and beating him describing his child’s mother as a “special kind of dirtbag” just two days after the boy’s death.

Christopher Gregor, 31, was pulled over by police in Alcoa, Tennessee on April 4, 2021 – two days after his son, Corey Micciolo, died from blunt force injuries — for speeding in a construction zone.

The officers questioned Gregor about the bizarre route he had taken from New Jersey through Arkansas and then turning back in the wake of his huge loss, bodycam footage of the stop showed.

“If he didn’t have a drug addict mother, then he’d still be alive. That’s been going through my head this whole drive. She’s a special kind of dirtbag,” Gregor told one of the cops, referring to Corey’s mom, Breanna Micciolo.

When the cops asked about his son’s death, Gregor said the boy succumbed to what doctors thought was “internal bleeding,” according to the Asbury Park Press.

Gregor also told the cops he was arrested once before in New Jersey, when Micciolo’s family supposedly planted marijuana on him.

One of the officers suggested Gregor might have been trying to cross the border into Mexico.

“No, I mean, even if I was, I wouldn’t be headed in the direction I’m in,” Gregor insisted, adding he drove 20 hours from New Jersey to Arkansas before turning around and heading back north.

The cops then asked him why he suddenly stopped to pick up a female friend at the airport in Alcoa.

“She didn’t feel comfortable with me driving another 13 hours after I’ve driven so much already,” Gregor said. “I haven’t slept much, as you can imagine.”

In the beginning of the video, Gregor can be seen getting out of his car and putting his hands on the roof while the officers frisk him.

“I said, I don’t mind you guys searching my vehicle at all. There’s nothing that I’m hiding,” the former high school football star told the cops.

After having run his plate, the cops realize there is a flag for it in New Jersey. Gregor then asks the cops if there was a search warrant to sweep his vehicle.

“I don’t know about that. The state of New Jersey is run by Democrats. We have very little to do with them,” one of the officers chided.

“You and me both,” Gregor replied.

The former math teacher also bizarrely suggested that he might have brain damage from his former football days.

“I played football, so I might have CTE,” he told one of the cops, referring to the neurodegenerative brain condition that results from repeated head trauma.

The cops eventually let Gregor go, but took his car and cell phone to search.

Gregor, of Barnegat, was arrested on murder charges connected to Corey’s death in March 2022, after a medical examiner ruled that the child died from the result of ongoing abuse.

Gregor turned down a 30-year plea deal, and is currently on trial.

In addition to the murder charge, Gregor is also facing one count of child endangerment stemming from a March 2021 surveillance video that showed him forcing Corey to run on a treadmill despite the boy repeatedly falling down face-first.

A portion of the body camera video from the Tennessee traffic stop was played in court last week, but Superior Court Judge Guy P. Ryan ruled that the footage was inadmissible because it contained hearsay, the Asbury Park Press reported.

Assistant Ocean County prosecutor Jamie Schron, however, told Ryan the state will bring up Gregor’s statements in the video during cross-examination if he makes claims that contradict the footage, the outlet added.

Tracey Sharpe has been named the executive director of the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey, its board of directors announced.

Sharpe has served as the interim director of RMHSNJ since October 2023 and has been a part of the RMHSNJ team since 2015. She has dedicated her professional life to social service and strengthening the fiscal health of South Jersey area nonprofits.

Sharpe’s background spans all aspects of nonprofit management as well as direct service. She has led staff teams, built fund development systems, authored strategic plans and spearheaded capital campaign directives.

Beginning as a grant writer for RMHSNJ, she has raised more than $2 million for the charity and seamlessly transitioned into major gift officer and interim director roles over the last nine years.

Vice Chairman Brett Levin applauded the announcement.

“Sharpe’s past experiences, both behind the scenes of nonprofits, as well as on the front lines, has primed her for this role to both serve, as well as elevate, the supports for critically ill children and their families residing at Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey,” he said.  “Her passion for the children and families we serve is evident in her everyday interactions with our guests as well as in her communications with area donors, sponsors, and hospital partners.”

Sharpe resides in South Jersey with her husband and their two children.

The New Jersey Devils did a great thing when they hired Sheldon Keefe to be their new head coach. He lands this job just a couple of weeks after being eliminated by the Boston Bruins in game seven as head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Keefe was fired a few days after that loss.

Keefe had a lot of success with a roster that was flawed in a lot of ways. New Jersey has holes but with the right coach and better goaltending, their future appears to be brighter than Toronto’s.

There are a few players in particular on the New Jersey Devils roster that needed a new coach. Travis Greene and Lindy Ruff had a lot of the same ways which hurt a few of the players on the team.

These are the five guys that will benefit the most with Sheldon Keefe as their head coach going forward:

The New Jersey Devils have a superstar in Jack Hughes. He continues to take steps with his offensive production every year but everyone knows that he has another level to get to.

Jack Hughes should be even better with Sheldon Keefe as his head coach. Keefe will do things that help him get to another level in the NHL. 

For one, Keefe will use Hughes in his proper position: center. This could have something to do with his health but he has no business being on the wing. He is much more impactful at the center of the ice. 

Keefe was excellent at getting guys like Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Mitch Marner to take their game to the next level. Hughes is on a similar level as those guys and Keefe can be the guy to take him further.
