NYPD fires 2 cops who’d been busted
The NYPD has sacked two cops who were arrested in separate incidents — one who was busted on charges he beat up his girlfriend, the other accused of stealing while on duty.
A police spokesman confirmed that Detective Samuel Lallave and Officer Jason Holloway were both “dismissed from the NYPD.” Police sources said they were both fired in late October.
The NYPD spokesman wouldn’t say if the arrests triggered the officers’ firing.
Holloway was the union delegate for the 88th Precinct when he was arrested for an off-duty assault and other charges in February 2018.
He was accused of drunkenly storming into his girlfriend’s home in the Marlboro Houses in Gravesend about 2 a.m. on Feb. 20, 2018, and demanding, “Where does our relationship stand?”
When she replied, “We need to go to counseling,” he blew up, sources told the Daily News at the time.
His girlfriend, a state corrections officer, ran into the bathroom and locked the door. He kicked the door and ripped it from its hinges, police alleged. He then fell on her and she hit her head on a footstool, causing a gash that needed seven stitches and two staples to close, sources said.
Holloway fled the city after the assault. Officers with the Regional Fugitive Task Force tracked him down in East Stroudsburg, Pa.
The case against Holloway has since been sealed, authorities said.
The other, cop, Lallave, 53, was issued a desk appearance ticket following his arrest for petty larceny on the job in Bushwick in August.
The arrest was the result of an Internal Affairs investigation. Police would not provide more information, citing an ongoing probe.
Lallave was assigned to a command in north Brooklyn at the time of his arrest.
Lallave has been named in 14 separate lawsuits against the NYPD — including a case filed by the widow of James Young, a Crown Heights man who died four months after he was allegedly choked into a coma by another detective during an arrest on June 3, 2011.
Attempts to reach both officers were unsuccessful Tuesday.
