The New Jersey sheriff who was recorded making racist statements about black people and the state’s Sikh attorney general will be resigning after all — along with four undersheriffs — effective immediately, his office says.

Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino was planning to stay on, despite countless calls from Gov. Phil Murphy and other state officials to step down, but something apparently changed Friday.

“The Bergen County Sheriff’s Office announces that effective this date and at this time Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino has submitted his resignation as the Sheriff of Bergen County,” officials said in a statement.

“Additionally, Executive Undersheriff George Buono, Undersheriff Robert Colaneri, Undersheriff Brian Smith and Undersheriff Joseph Hornyak have also submitted their resignations effective immediately.”

Murphy will now be tasked with appointing an interim sheriff, with Chief Kevin Pell serving as the “officer-in-charge of the sheriff’s department’s operations.” Warden Steve Ahrendt will be the officer-in-charge of the Bergen County jail’s operations, officials said.

Saudino was on his third term as sheriff and had been in law enforcement for over 45 years.

He was caught on tape making racist and incendiary comments following Murphy’s inauguration speech earlier this year.

“He talked about the whole thing, the marijuana, sanctuary state… better criminal justice reform,” Saudino said. “Christ almighty, in other words let the blacks come in, do whatever the f— they want, smoke their marijuana, do this, do that, and don’t worry about it. You know, we’ll tie the hands of cops.”

Saudino apologized for his remarks Thursday, but refused to resign.

“These remarks are not representative of the person that I am,” he said. “And they are in no way consistent with the manner in which I have conducted my life personally and as a law enforcement professional.”
