Written by Former Officer Sara Laudano resigned in October 2021 after being caught drinking and driving while on duty. Between October 8 and 9, 2021, Laudano and colleague Michael DiMeglio consumed alcohol in their police cruisers, ignored calls for service, and were later found in a hotel room together. Laudano was also accused of driving with a baby and a civilian in the cruiser after consuming alcohol and using a THC vape pen, leading to a charge of risk of injury to a minor. Both officers were charged with second-degree larceny and second-degree reckless endangerment in January 2021, later pleading guilty to lesser charges. The Police Officer Standards and Training Council decertified Laudano, determining she had ‘betrayed the public trust.’
