2 NYPD officers covered up drunk driving crash involving off-duty officer, prosecutors say
Two NYPD officers allegedly covered up a drunk driving crash involving an off-duty officer by manipulating their body cameras, prosecutors said.
Michael Caligiuri, 31, and Ryan McLoughlin, 30, were arraigned Friday on a host of charges, including tampering with evidence, public records and falsifying business records.
The two are accused of manipulating a body-worn camera during the incident. The NYPD says it initiated the investigation and referred the case to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
The two responded to a 911 call just before 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 16, 2024, about a crash involving an intoxicated driver near Eighth Avenue and West 26th Street, according to prosecutors.
