Three now-former Lorain Police officers are off the job after a fight between officers led to the discovery of a litany of misconduct.
LORAIN, Ohio — Lorain Police Lt. Tabita Angello was climbing the ladder in a profession dominated by men. She was the department’s first female detective, first female sergeant and first female lieutenant. She was on the fast track to a high-profile career with Lorain Police until Sept. 21, when she was involved in a disturbance with two other off-duty officers in the alley behind the FOP Lodge.
Police were able to find surveillance footage from a nearby business that captured the assault. The footage showed Angello talking in the alley with an off-duty officer when Zapolski allegedly ran up and hit the officer in the face. The punch caused him to fall; that’s when Zapolski kicked and stomped him, police said. The recording also appeared to show Zapolski shoving Angello at least once, police said.
Police said prior to turning over her cell phone, Angello was observed multiple times on body-camera footage manipulating her phone. The administrative investigation also found that Angello had deleted or tampered with 2.2 gigabytes of data after she had been ordered to turn over the department-issued cell phone.
Angello was found guilty of multiple administrative violations, including nine counts of gross misconduct.
