The two are facing multiple charges including larceny and reckless endangerment.
Two police officers in Connecticut resigned earlier this month after they were accused of drinking in their patrol cars and not responding to service calls while on duty, according to reports.


Norwalk Police Chief Thomas Kulhawik said the officers, identified as 39-year-old Michael DiMeglio and 31-year-old Sarah Laudano, stepped down on October 15, The Hour reported.

"I'm glad that this incident is now behind us from a department perspective," Kulhawik told the newspaper.

CBS New York reported the two were suspended last year after they were discovered together at a hotel instead of working and drinking in a school parking lot, police said.

According to CT Insider citing an arrest warrant, the duo was found by their supervisor on the night of October 9 2020, and cops said they "were not in a condition to respond to calls for service."

The warrant said that during their investigation, authorities also found broken beer bottles at the school that was linked to both officers, according to the report.

NORWALK, Conn. (CBSNewYork) — Two Norwalk police officers accused of ignoring service calls while binge-drinking have resigned.

Sarah Laudano and Michael DiMeglio were suspended a year ago after a supervisor found them together at a hotel instead of out on patrol.

Cops say the two had been drinking in their patrol cars, hanging out behind a school.

The resignations do not affect the charges against them, which include larceny for accepting pay but not working.

3. I like the part about "larceny for accepting pay but not working."

I hadn't seen that before.
On another post, I watched cops cozying up to Proud Boys and Nazis. It seems like they weren't "protecting" or "serving" their community. Charge them with larceny?

4. I've never seen that either.

That seems like a novel way of dealing with slackers. It's funny as hell to see it applied to lazy cops!
