Ossining, New York, police officer Emily Hirshowitz was arrested on criminal charges after allegedly sending herself menacing texts she said were from colleagues.
was arrested on criminal charges after allegedly sending herself menacing text messages and then blaming her colleagues, according to the Westchester District Attorney's Office.
Hirshowitz joined the force in 2016 after serving as an officer for two years in New Rochelle, the report said. In 2018, she received the Employee of the Year award from the Rotary Club of Ossining, which was celebrated by the police department on its own Facebook page. Later that same August, the police chief reportedly held a mandatory staff meeting – with the mayor and other village leaders invited to attend – to discuss the messages. By October, the DA's office obtained a warrant to search Hirshowitz's phone and Apple iCloud account, following speculation that eight of the screenshots originated from her.
Court documents reviewed by the outlet do not cite any officer specifically who may have sent the messages, but a local attorney said his client, former Ossining police Officer Louis Rinaldi, is the subject of an investigation.Rinaldi resigned last year following unrelated disciplinary charges. His attorney said Rinaldi's name came up during police interviews regarding the text messages.
