Mount Vernon Exposed has learned the names of some of the
officers allegedly being probed by Federal Authorities for ties to local street
gangs and other nefarious activities.
Michael Marcucuilli, PBA President Gregory Addison, Kenneth Rella, and Michael
Zurilli are four persons we have learned of being investigated for Criminal
Civil Rights violations, illegal gambling, intimidation, extortion, gun
trafficking as well as their ties to local street gangs.
Many persons interviewed the past few days after learning of
the federal probe simply say they don’t feel safe in the City of Mount Vernon
since the ouster of Commissioner Carl Bell.
Many feel Mayor Davis will bring in someone that will further divide the
police department and the City of Mount Vernon.
A few of the persons being considered are Terrance Raynor
and current Chief John Roland. Raynor
recently made headlines after he was caught cheating tax payers out of tens of
thousands of dollars by double sipping in the S.T.A.R. claiming exemptions of
two homes at the same time. Raynor is
also the defendant in a lawsuit seeking to recoup Raynor’s ill-gotten
gains.
Michael Marcucuilli a Mount Vernon police officer has cost
Mount Vernon taxpayers millions of dollars because he likes to commit police
brutality. The City of Mount Vernon is
constantly sued because Mr. Marcucuilli likes to put his hands on black folks
and call them “Nigger” and beat them with his baton like he is auditioning for
a role with the KKK.
Taxpayers will continue to see their property rise as long
as the property tax burden Marcucuilli is still employed by the Mount Vernon
Police Department. Marcucuilli is also rumored to be part of an elite group of
police officers trafficking in guns from the south and turning them over to
street gang members for profit.
Due to the negligence and recklessness of this officer,
Mount Vernon homeowners are now paying $1,224.89 more a year than they should
be paying. Write to City Council
President Yuhanna Edwards and members Karen Watts Yehudah, , and Roberta Apuzzo
and tell them if they do not fire Marcucuilli that you will fire them in
September as they are all up for re-election.
Insanity- doing the same things over and over again and
expecting different results. We cannot
keep re-electing the same people over and over again and expect things to get
better because they send out a mailing once a year, show up at your cookout,
and organize a walk-a-thons. These are
the same elected officials that have been in office through the high rate of
homicides, crater sized potholes, and sky rocketing property taxes.
Kenneth Rella- Approximately 60 days ago Mount Vernon
Exposed began an investigation into Kenneth Rella a K-9 officer with the City
of Mount Vernon after receiving a tip from a concerned taxpayer. Mount Vernon
Exposed would like to inform our readers that F.O.I.L requests filed with the
Law Department have gone unanswered but we were told that the Chief John Roland
hasn’t complied with the requests and they will follow up with him. Rella also has ties to organized crime. Kenneth Rella who
rarely works overtime has accumulated over 1,000 hours of comp time. The police
department told Mount Vernon Exposed that they will not turn over records
pertaining to Rella because they do not exist.
How can a police department pay out comp time if they do not track the
comp time?
This dinosaur system of
having the fox watch the hen house is ripe for corruption and abuse. Several police officers that we spoke to on
the condition of annomitity were in disbelief and outright disgusted at Rella’s
abuse of taxpayer dollar and his criminal activity. Rella, an obnoxious and loud fellow even stands accused of waving his gun at a civilian while
drunk out of his mind. More shocking
revelations about the creep carrying a gun and a badge will come at a later
time. Stay tuned. You will not want to miss this.
PBA President Gregory Addison was recently demoted from Sergeant
back to patrol because he was involved in a bar brawl at Maggie Spillane’s and
pulled his service weapon while drunk.
Addison also is alleged to be part of the gun slinging ring supplying
guns to street gangs in Mount Vernon. Addison also stands accused alongside other Mt.
Vernon Police Officers making derogatory remarks about the family lifestyle,
Black owned businesses and mocking rallies to stop violence. How did a nut job like Addison get elected to become the PBA President? A PBA President that likes racist rants on Facebook is in charge of collective bargaining for the City of Mount Vernon. Pure Genius!
The last of the disgraceful bunch of criminals is Lieutenant
Michael Zurilli a compulsive gambler who was recently divorced from his wife
over allegedly being caught in the bed with another man. Zurilli also has ties to organized
crime. Zurilli has such a gambling
problem that his “bookie” came to the Police headquarters one night with two
300 pound men seeking to collect outstanding debt.
Zurilli was suspended and also was rumored to enter into a
mental health facility for over a year.
Currently, Zurilli still without his gun and badge can be seen in the
MVPD back on the taxpayer payroll fetching coffee and doughnuts for the top
brass.
