On May 3, 2021, Officer Pizzi forcefully threw a suspect against his truck and then to the ground during an arrest for a failure-to-appear warrant. The suspect alleged excessive force and filed a lawsuit against Officer Pizzi and other officers involved. The failure-to-appear and petty theft charges were ultimately dismissed. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available information.
