THE RECORD
A former New York City police officer who fatally stabbed his former girlfriend with a machete at her Midland Park home previously threatened her with scissors, violated a restraining order at least twice and was the subject of two massive manhunts this month, authorities said Friday.
Arthur J. Lomando, 44, was charged with murder and related offenses Friday and remained in a New York City hospital where both of his feet had been amputated after he jumped in front of a Manhattan subway train Thursday night. Hours earlier, Suzanne Bardzell, a 48-year-old mother of two, had been found dead in her SUV in the driveway of her Midland Park home, the vehicle’s engine still running.
The killing culminated a monthlong series of events that included police showing up at Lomando’s Centereach, N.Y., home in the early morning of Oct. 10, only to leave when he refused to turn himself in to authorities for violating a temporary restraining order, said Midland Park Police Chief Michael Powderley. Police launched a manhunt hours later after a borough police officer on patrol saw Lomando’s unoccupied car near Bardzell’s home, Powderly said.
Do they do psychological testing on police cadets when they enter the academy…?
I submit that 75% of these guys have issues BEFORE they are given a shield and a gun.
And the nepotism that exists with these suburban appointments should be outlawed.
Molinelli, Midland Park PD Chief and others all have to go and lose their pensions & healthcare, too. They caused two teenaged girls to lose their mom. They made excuse after excuse for the perp, and protecting this thug led to them enabling the murder, which they are complicit in
Glen Rock PD disaster, Wyckoff dog shooting, Ridgewood quarters theft by a Village employee right under the nose of the PD there, and now murder which leaves two teens without their mom…. All are related to the same crappy governance in Bergen County, where Molinelli protects his buddies in Blue and the Mob over tax paying residents
Wow, such powerful comments…I have nothing to add. Wait, it is what it is!
