The New York state trooper who claimed he was shot during a Long Island traffic stop turned himself in to police Monday morning.
Thomas Mascia, 27, whose claim that he was shot and wounded by a driver on the Southern State Parkway last October prompted a criminal probe, turned himself in at state police barracks in East Farmingdale, Newsday reported.
He faces charges including tampering with evidence, falsifying documents and official misconduct.
He is set to be arraigned in Nassau County First District Court in Hempstead.
His father, former NYPD officer Thomas Mascia Sr., and his mother, Dorothy Mascia, have also been charged with criminal possession of a firearm. They also turned themselves in to authorities on Monday.
