Former Officer Michael DiMeglio was found drinking alcohol while on duty in October 2020. He and Officer Sara Laudano were discovered at a hotel after consuming alcohol in their cruisers and failing to respond to calls. DiMeglio pleaded guilty to misdemeanor larceny and reckless endangerment charges, paid a $1,000 fine, resigned from the force, and had his state certification revoked. In June 2023, he filed a lawsuit against the city of Norwalk, claiming wrongful denial of his pension eligibility.
