A state trooper accused of triggering a three-car crash on Route 1 in Revere that smashed up a cruiser and put an on-duty trooper in the hospital has been suspended indefinitely without pay today, state police announced.
Trooper Shawn D’Amato, 43, who authorities said told EMTs he had smoked crack within an hour of yesterday's crash, was arraigned in his Massachusetts General Hospital bed yesterday on charges of drunken and drugged driving, negligent operation; and failure to change lanes for an emergency vehicle.
EMTs also observed "apparent track marks on (D'Amato's) arms, suggesting intravenous drug use," Jake Wark, spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney's Office, said. The trooper also lost his driver's license today for 180 days, according to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
D'Amato, who had worked at Troop F at Logan International Airport, was released on his own recognizance and ordered not to drive.
After the arrest, State Police Col. Timothy Alben insisted his department is addressing its officers’ problems, and isn’t facing a crisis of poor discipline.

"Troop F"? Explains a lot.
I guess this isn't the same F Troop that was on TV decades ago.
Just how hard is it to fire government employees anyway??
......spokes person Alben: “this is not who we are”.................yes it is you idiot!
This is what is wrong across the country! No accountability! The Chief, or head of this organization, should surrender his or her badge and gun tonight! There is no way in gods green earth this guy was doing this (track marks on his arm) while active in this police organization without others knowing about it. If the top officer didn’t know, he/she should be fired for that. If he/she did know, they should be fired for that. If any other officer knew about it, he/she did not do their job to enforce the law and should be fired too. For anyone that doesn’t know what this is called, it’s called “Accountability”.
Drunk on beer or syzurp?
Wonder if he’ll retire with disability payments.
Sweet deal, if you can get it.
Nothing would surprise me
or benefits for post traumatic stress...
And that's all that matters.
He had dogs to shoot.
Hey thats my line.
Sorry. You can say you’d hit it, somewhere else, as an amend. :)
Good placement.
Thanks man now I have to go find a really good thread.
So the cops couldn’t see that one of their coworkers was a hard core druggie?
We are supposed to believe that?

Wow....in the real world... Private sector....he would be terminated immediately.....
For some reason, Copland, the movie with Stallone, comes to mind.
