AGAWAM — A Police Department internal affairs report describes former police officer Danielle Petrangelo as having slurred speech and glassy eyes after being spotted driving the wrong way on Route 5 on the evening of June 29.

She appeared "annihilated," the July 2 report quotes a fellow officer stating.

Mayor Richard A. Cohen on Tuesday released the Police Department internal affairs report of the incident and declined to state whether there was any discipline of officers for not charging or citing Petrangelo.

Cohen said that he could not discuss discipline because it is a personnel issue. The mayor went on to say that he notified the district attorney and the attorney general of the incident right away. The attorney general told the city to handle the matter locally, according to Cohen.



Cohen's office issued a tersely worded press release about the report just days after it came to light that Hampden District Attorney Mark G. Mastroianni had blasted city police for not taking action against Petrangelo. Mastroianni called the lack of action "inexplicable" in an Oct. 23 letter to then-acting Police Chief Richard Light that surfaced Thursday. The district attorney wrote the incident could support a driving under the influence arrest.



At the time of the driving incident, Petrangelo was on leave from the department pending the outcome of an investigation by the district attorney. He was probing Petrangelo's May 5 accidental shooting of an unarmed woman while Petrangelo was answering a police call at the victim's home.



"I deem this matter to be serious and extremely concerning," Cohen said in the statement about the driving incident.

He said that after the June 29 incident he asked Light, who was acting police chief, to take action "to address the issue and to ensure that this type of situation does not occur in the future."



"In addition, the officer involved (Petrangelo) is no longer employed by the Town. Due to ongoing litigation issues, I cannot comment further," Cohen wrote.



Light said Tuesday Petrangelo was dismissed in November because she had broken rules and regulations in the accidental shooting and not because of the wrong-way driving.



A section of the Police Department log for June 29 shows that Agawam got news by radio from West Springfield police at 9:21 p.m. that there was a wrong way driver on Route 5 northbound.



The log states: "West Springfield Police Department now states that they have him on the rotary. — Car 102 and Car 106 out with West Springfield Police Department and the vehicle on route 5 north by Bondi's (Island)."



In his internal report, Lt. Eric P. Gillis wrote that moments before Agawam police arrived at the scene the dispatcher got a message from West Springfield police that "they had located the vehicle, and had it stopped in the South End Bridge Rotary, and were preparing to turn it around."

Asked about involvement by West Side police, West Springfield Police Chief Ronald P. Campurciani said his department did not stop Petrangelo. He said it got a report of a vehicle being driven the wrong way at the Memorial Avenue rotary in West Springfield and that by the time West Side police caught up to Petrangelo she had stopped near Bondi’s Island in Agawam.

The report states that Agawam police Lt. Edward D. McGovern, who was the commanding officer at the time of the driving incident, instructed police officer William Pierson to drive Petrangelo home.

McGovern told Sgt. Anthony Grasso and officer James Wheeler to return one of their cruisers to headquarters and then come back to the scene and retrieve Petrangelo’s vehicle to return it to the parking lot at headquarters, according to the report.

The report states that before carrying out the assignment Grasso spoke with Petrangelo.

“She was crying and ‘carrying on,’ and appeared to be ‘annihilated,’ according to Sgt. Grasso,” the report states.

Grasso observed that Petrangelo had “glassy bloodshot eyes” and her speech was slurred, according to the report.

The report states that Petrangelo told police she had gotten into an argument with police officer Brandon Donovan prior to going out. Gillis identified Donovan as someone with whom Petrangelo had “a dating relationship of unspecified duration.”

The report also states there was damage to Petrangelo’s motor vehicle consistent with strikes to a guard rail.
