Michael DiMeglio – Norwalk Police Department

Written by CBKN76

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.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
