Fine Cops
In Arrest
At Cadillac
Three police officers of the
Eighth precinct received fines
last Friday after they were found
guilty of departmental charges in
connection with an arrest of the
owner of the Cadillac Grill in
Farmingdale.
Anastasios ( Tommy)
Kalomiris, owner of the diner at
Main and Fulton Streets, was
arrested in May, 1975, by Officer

with obstructing governmental
administration, a misdemeanor.
Kalomiris told the Post that he
had protested that a police car
was blocking his driveway and
that this led to his arrest. The
charge against him was sub­sequently
dropped in district
court.
Represented by a Civil
Liberties Union attorney, Alan J.
Azzara, Kalomiris filed a com­plaint
with the internal affairs
division of the Nassau County
Police Department.
In the findings handed down
last Friday Nunley was found
guilty of making an arrest on less
than probable cause and fined
five day's pay. Sgt. Philip W.
Settepani was found guilty of
permitting the arrest to be made
and Lt. Lawrence J. Stoecker
with failing to terminate the
arrest. Each was fined one day's
pay.
