WHITE PLAINS – A state trooper responsible for patrolling the Sprain Brook and Taconic State Parkways in Westchester County has been arrested and charged with issuing more than 30 falsified traffic tickets and supporting depositions to several individuals, who were never subjected to a traffic stop, including one person who died before the issuance of the tickets.
Edward Longo, 34, of Yorktown, is charged with 32 counts of offering a false instrument for filing, a felony, and eight misdemeanor counts of official misconduct, District Attorney Miriam Rocah said Thursday.
He was placed on administrative leave.
“Integrity in law enforcement is paramount,” said the DA. “I commend our partners in the New York State Police for referring this case to our office and demonstrating their commitment to accountability and transparency.”
