WOODBURY — A Greenwich Township police officer accused of having sex with a prostitute while on duty last year has pleaded guilty to a charge of obstruction, prosecutors said.

William H. Dick III, 43, of Gibbstown, was originally charged last year with misconduct and witness tampering .

He faces a sentence of probation on the fourth-degree obstruction charge. Sentencing is slated for next week.

Still to be determined is whether he must forfeit his job as a police officer, authorities said.

Dick was accused of committing misconduct on April 22 of last year, “by engaging in sexual acts with a prostitute while on duty,” in exchange for money, prosecutors said.

The prostitute reported the incident to police. Dick later called the woman and tried to get her to recant her report, authorities said.

He was charged and released after posting $35,000 bail.

The 13-year department veteran was also suspended without pay.
