Torres, who surrendered at 11:30 a.m. in Totowa, said nothing as he walked quickly past a group of reporters and photographers and entered the state police barracks. He remained inside for more than an hour and said nothing when he left.
After Torres drove away, his attorney, John Azzarello, said Torres was not going to resign.
"He has no plans to step down," Azzarello said. "In fact, just today he met with emergency management to prepare for tomorrow's storm."
Torres' attorney added that he planned to fight the charges.
On the same day that Torres turned himself in, the three public works employees indicted last week as his co-conspirators were suspended without pay from their city jobs, according to Paterson Business Administrator Nellie Pou.
