New York state trooper surrenders to police and faces charges over account of being shot and wounded [View all]
A New York state trooper who claimed he was shot and wounded by an unknown gunman on a Long Island highway last year is facing criminal charges.
Thomas Mascia and his parents surrendered Monday morning at the state police barracks in Farmingdale and will be arraigned in Hempstead court later, according to Trooper Brittany Burton, a state police spokesperson.
Mascia will be charged with official misconduct, tampering with evidence and falsifying documents, she said. His parents, Dorothy and Thomas, have each been charged with criminal possession of a firearm.
Jeffrey Lichtman, a lawyer for the family, declined to comment other than to confirm the family had surrendered to face the charges
