Marzullo was charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct for his alleged role in the beating of a man on the night of local elections in 2005 in Forest Park after Marzullo’s preferred candidate lost a bid for Berwyn mayor. Marzullo retired from the Berwyn post shortly after he was indicted in the alleged fight. Marzullo, along with his son, brother, a Berwyn officer and another man, were all found not guilty in May 2007.
