Two Albany Police officers are in trouble for reportedly showing up to work with alcohol in their systems. This is a direct violation of the new rules set down by the police chief after the death of a cop this past year who had been drinking before his shift.
The thing to watch in this story in particular is what will happen with one of the officers, William Bonnani. If that name sounds familiar it should, he has been in trouble before. Once for his involvement in the beating of a man in Albany and he was also involved in the fatal shooting of a man named David Scaringe. Scaringe you may recall was accidentally shot by police while they were trying to stop a fleeing vehicle.
In baseball they say, "Three strikes and your out." We'll see if this third incident is the one that lands officer Bonnani in deep trouble with the department. His union has his back on this but the chief does not appear happy. Stay tuned.
