Thomas Mascia
Thomas Mascia, a former New York state trooper, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from an incident where he faked his own shooting by claiming he was attacked by an unknown gunman. In a plea deal, he agreed to serve six months in jail and pay restitution for the extensive costs incurred during the search for a nonexistent suspect. Mascia's actions, which included staging the scene of the alleged shooting, were reportedly an attempt to gain sympathy from a former girlfriend. He resigned from the state police in January after being suspended during the investigation.
