Troy police officer Dominick Comitale has been suspended with pay after harassing another man at a little league game in North Greenbush back in September.

Although Officer Comitale is getting a paycheck, he has been stripped of his duties as a police officer, which means no gun and no badge.

Comitale was charged with second degree harassment for elbowing a man and splitting his lip at at Twin Town little league game. At the time of the incident, he was off-duty and on paid leave due to an injury sustained while working.

However, this was not the first time Comitale has been accused of using excessive force and breaking the Troy Police Department code of conduct. He has cost Troy tax payers $200,000 in past settlements.

Just days after the little league incident, Comitale was accused of road rage.

Troy Deputy Police Chief Dan DeWolf said he cannot say too much regarding the suspension, but he did say that the investigation is in its final stages and that the suspension was based solely on the little league incident.

Comitale will be afforded a hearing.
