A Long Island police chief and former top village officials are facing a slew of corruption charges for allegedly fixing traffic tickets on behalf of a local business owner, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

Hempstead Police Department Chief Paul Johnson, 54, and former Hempstead Village Trustee Perry Pettus, 63, were among four men charged with felony tampering with public records and other counts across two separate indictments outlining the schemes.

Johnson was a lieutenant eyeing a promotion to top cop when he allegedly agreed to toss four traffic tickets at the behest of then-Hempstead Village Trustee Perry Pettus.

The violations were issued on May 16, 2018, to a female employee of 48-year-old restaurant owner William Mendez, who knew Pettus and asked him for the favor.

That same day, Pettus called Johnson to get the tickets dismissed and the lieutenant assured him they “would be taken care of,” the indictment said.

“They’re done,” Pettus then allegedly told Mendez. “You don’t have to worry.”

A week later, Pettus, who is tasked with approving police appointments as a member of the Board of Trustees, tipped Johnson off about his pending promotion.

“Pettus told Johnson in a phone call that Pettus was 100 percent for Johnson to be promoted,” court papers said.

In return, Johnson allegedly told Pettus he would help him out of minor jams in the future.

“Ya know, if I can look out for you ‘cause it’s something minor like a parking ticket, a traffic ticket, that’s one thing,” he told Pettus, according to the indictment. “But if you’re talking about criminal offenses and weapons and drugs and something, that’s something different.”

Johnson’s promotion to acting chief of the police department was approved a little over a week later.

Pettus also allegedly roped in Hempstead Sgt. Joseph Savino, 51, to nix two traffic tickets for Mendez in April 2018 — one of which was issued to Mendez himself.

Both tickets were tossed the next day, the indictment alleged.

The four men face several charges, including tampering with public records, grand larceny, official misconduct and obstructing governmental administration.

They were all released on their own recognizance after pleading not guilty Wednesday. They face 2 1/3 to seven years in prison, if convicted.

No one answered the door at Johnson’s home in North Baldwin.

But his attorney, Ronald Bekoff, told Newsday that his client had no intention of resigning.

Pettus, a former Hempstead deputy mayor, and Mendez are already facing corruption charges from October in an alleged shakedown scheme in which they threatened to shutter local businesses if owners did not pay them for protection.

Wednesday’s indictments are the fifth and sixth against him, according to his lawyer Jim Druker, who claimed the charges were overblown.

“I think the Nassau District Attorney has broken the all-time NCAA record for most indictments against a single individual and it’s just reached a point of absurdity,” he complained. “Falsifying paperwork to the DMV…fixing tickets for people. This is not Watergate.”

Pettus is also accused of accepting a bribe from Hempstead Police Lieutenant Richard Holland in exchange for his vote to promote Holland to deputy chief of the department in 2018, prosecutors said. Holland was also charged. That case is still pending.

Mendez’s lawyer Bruce Barket claimed it was “not a crime” for his client to ask for help getting a ticket tossed.

“If the officers did something they weren’t supposed or didn’t do something they were supposed to — that’s on them,” he said.
