Officer Gregory Chito – North Smithfield Police Department

In 2013, former police dispatcher Dominic Pratt filed a lawsuit alleging that Officer Gregory Chito, along with other department members, engaged in severe and pervasive harassment based on the perception that Pratt was gay. Chito was accused of constantly asking Pratt about his roommate’s sexual orientation and making gay-related comments. The lawsuit also claimed that Chito, along with other officers, threatened and harassed Pratt with their tasers, stunning him multiple times and chasing him around threatening to do so more than a hundred times. The case was settled in 2023, though the terms of the agreement have not been made public.
