University of Connecticut student Luke Gatti was arrested in May when he broke out of a Florida rehab center and assaulted a female police officer. Gatti, 20, had been in treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, and this was his second encounter with law enforcement.
Last October Gatti went on a drunken tirade because the university cafeteria wasn’t serving macaroni and cheese with bacon and jalapeño. Gatti was sentenced to probation. He subsequently made a videotaped apology and even traveled to South America to apologize to the cafeteria manager.
Our interest, of course, is police reports – and the report for Gatti’s assault-related arrest in May is worth reading: http://nyp.st/2920Hoc. Sentences are objective and professional, there’s no jargon, and I’m particularly impressed by the details in the report. The officer explains, for example, how he made the decision to confine Gatti under the terms of the Baker Act. Recommended reading!
Update: The UConn-owned Blue Oak Tavern is now serving patrons a dish called “Luke’s Macaroni and Cheese.” It features diced jalapeño peppers and applewood smoked bacon. The menu description says “Worth getting arrested for!”
