NYPD inspector accused of sloppy coverup of DUI crash after boozy night at Midtown bar
An NYPD inspector let his girlfriend get behind the wheel of his unmarked police SUV after a night out drinking – and then scrambled to cover up evidence that she got into a crash, prosecutors charged Thursday.
Zangrilli, of Rockland County, pleaded not guilty to charges including falsifying business records, obstruction and official misconduct. Rupple allegedly drove away from the scene of the crash. After a few blocks, the couple switched seats, according to the indictment. A police officer soon pulled them over, with the livery driver also in pursuit. Instead of exchanging insurance information, the indictment alleges Zangrilli “repeatedly offered $500 and $1,000 to the victim.”
The NYPD’s internal affairs unit was quickly alerted to the episode, and was able to recover the surveillance video even though the bar had deleted it.
