Was the wife of New York Jet Antonio Cromati pulled over for "driving black" in Madison, as she claims?

Actually, police from the Morris County community say, Terricka Cromartie was pulled over for using her cell phone and having tinted windows.

Madison police said Monday they became aware of Terricka Cromartie's allegation through a media inquiry and social media.

"Due to the nature of the allegation, this agency proactively referred this case to the proper county authority as per the NJ Attorney General Guidelines," the police department wrote in a statement. "Ms. Cromartie was stopped for operating a motor vehicle while on a cell phone and having tinted windows. The summonses will be adjudicated in the Madison Municipal Court in the near future."

The statement also said her "allegations will be thoroughly and objectively investigated to their logical conclusion."

Terricka Cromartie posted video to her Instagram account of part of a traffic stop she says happened at 11:30 a.m., but did not say on what day. A copy of the video, which has since been taken down from her account, was also posted by the Daily Mail and can be seen above.

The officer apparently asked Terricka Cromartie why she was in the Morris County community. In the video the two have an exchange — an upset Terricka Cromartie tells the officer he didn't need to ask why she's in Madison, and he acknowledges she doesn't have to tell him.

The officer walks away and the video ends.

In a second video, she says she's been stopped several time and says she was just coming from a nail shop. She added that she was not ticketed — though that contradicts the new police statement.

"When you get pulled over for driving Black in Madison.. Why are you in Madison??? What did I do officer. Roll your windows Down.. SmDH," Terricka Cromartie reportedly wrote in a post that has been since deleted. "FYI I was pulled over for no reason, just to ask me to roll my windows, and why am I in Madison. Like how you don't know I live here. What am I doing in Madison is freaking 11:30a.m."
