Officer Distasio was implicated in the February 2023 in-custody death of Lisa Edwards. The internal investigation identified violations such as unbecoming conduct, neglect of duty, unsatisfactory performance, treatment of prisoners, courtesy, failure to secure a prisoner with a seat belt, and improper handling of an unconscious person. Consequently, he received a ten-day suspension without pay. ([wvlt.tv](https://www.wvlt.tv/2023/05/10/internal-investigation-into-lisa-edwards-death-complete/?utm_source=openai))
