@newsday.tv: A former New York State trooper who shot himself in the leg and falsely claimed he had been injured in the line of duty by a masked assailant on the Southern State Parkway was sentenced to six months behind bars. Thomas J. Mascia, of West Hempstead, faked the attack to get sympathy and attention from the public and a former girlfriend, Nassau County prosecutors said. His lies about being shot by a “dark-skinned” masked assailant sparked a manhunt for an alleged cop shooter that diverted manpower and resources from law enforcement in the metro area.

Just another egotistical cop, looking for the limelight and to get out of working. Too bad he got caught.
