Agawam mayor released report on pulling-over of ex-police officer

AGAWAM, Mass. (WWLP) - A 22News I-Team investigation revealed that the District Attorney alleged an Agawam police officer, who has since been fired for an unrelated incident, was given preferential treatment.  

In response to that I-Team investigation, Agawam Mayor Richard Cohen has released the town's internal investigation into that incident.  Former officer Danielle Petrangelo was not cited after being pulled over for suspicion of OUI and driving the wrong way down Route 5.  According to these documents, an Agawam Sergeant claimed that she appeared to be "annihilated", in reference to the amount of alcohol that she drank.  Mayor Cohen told 22News, the report is complete.

"There is nothing here that has been left out.  This is not going to happen again", says Agawam Mayor Richard Cohen.

Former officer Petrangelo was fired in November.  Lt. Richard Light told 22News her termination was because she broke rules and regulations in an accidental shooting, not due to this incident.
