MIDLAND PARK - A plea deal has not been offered in the case of a former New York City police officer accused of stabbing a Midland Park mother to death in her driveway, according to NorthJersey.com.

Arthur Lomando, 44, is charged with murder, stalking, witness tampering and violating a domestic violence restraining order among other charges in connection with the death of his former girlfriend, Suzanne Bardzell, 47.

The website reported that Senior Assistant Prosecutor Danielle Grootenboer told Superior Court Judge Susan J. Steele during a hearing Monday that prosecutors have not extended a deal to settle the case with Lomando.

The former cop, who is being held on $5 million bail, entered a not guilty plea in a Hackensack courtroom on Monday, according to NorthJersey.com. He is accused of killing Bardzell, a mother of two and a special education teacher in Teaneck, with a 9 and 1/2 machete-like knife on Oct. 22.

After the slaying, Lomando apparently tried to kill himself by jumping in front of a New York City subway train.

He lost both feet as a result of the incident and is planning to sue the city for $50 million, claiming he fell or was knocked off into the path of the train by people on the platform.
