Police: Man Upset Over Ticket Phoned Trooper's Mom
CARLE PLACE, N.Y. (CBS) ―
Police say a Long Island man upset about a speeding ticket tried to get even with a state trooper by making a prank phone call to his mother.
Authorities say Lawrence Demaio, of Carle Place, called the woman about a month after the ticket was issued and told her her son had been badly hurt in a car accident.
Police didn't think it was funny. They used phone records to trace the call to Demaio's cell phone.
The 54-year-old was arrested Thursday and charged with second-degree aggravated harassment.
The phone at Demaio's home rang unanswered Saturday.
Nassau County has over 2,000 officers.
