LAKE GEORGE
An off-duty police officer from Connecticut spent Thursday night in the Warren County Correctional Facility after sheriff’s officers said he punched an off-duty peace officer in the head.
Leonard E. Alterio, 43, of Monroe Conn., a 11-year-officer with the Bridgeport Police Department, is facing charges of resisting arrest, a misdemeanor; and second degree harassment, a violation. No assault charges were lodged.
Undersheriff Robert Swan said that Alterio was observed by an off-duty Lake George village peace officer, who Swan did not identify, on Canada St., near Sheppard Park around 1 a.m. Friday.
Swan said the peace officer noticed the man had some minor facial injuries and appeared to be highly intoxicated. When the peace officer asked Alterio if he was alright, Swan said Alterio punched the officer in the head, an act allegedly witnessed by an on-duty peace officer who was nearby on Canada St. Swan said Alterio fought with both officers until he was subdued.
According to court records, the two peace officers were Ronald Rock Jr. and Jason Quinones.
Assistance was requested from the Warren County Sheriff’s office which responded and assisted the peace officers. They also charged Alterio with resisting arrest, Swan said. Alterio was held overnight in the county jail until he was arraigned Friday morning in Lake George Court. He was released on bail to appear in court at a later date. 8-1-08

Don't always believe what the News persuades you to believe. The investigation will come forth to show that Leonard Alterio was jumped, beaten, and mugged while out in Lake George vacationing with his family. Inebriated or not, Leonard did not deserve the beaten he encountered, and his face is dismantled, hearing impaired, and is suffering from ligament damage. When the OFF-DUTY PEACE OFFICER approached Leonard Alterio, he did more harm than good for him. Whether Leonard became abrasive, the OFF-DUTY OFFICER became irrate and abrupt instead of assisting and forthcoming to his aid.
so print your story as you see fit on this new wave of free speech medium called blogging, but rest assured, you will all cowardly sway back into your mouthes when the truth is told in court.
I firmly believe, THOSE WHO CAST STONES TRULY LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES.
what happened to dignity and helping thy neighbor, or basic mankind repsect, not just PROTECT AND SERVE. give back once in a while!
