A former Rocky Hill police officer has sued two top police officials and two town leaders, claiming he was harassed and retaliated against due to the belief that he has a mental disability, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder.
In the 11-page lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport, former officer Italo Miceli claims the alleged abuse began in October 2014 by then-newly appointed Town Manager Guy Sciafe. Miceli, who is also a veteran, was eventually terminated from the department on Nov. 28 after 12 years of service.
