[NY] 1 yr retired, Socci terrifies

(The law enforcement agencies don't have to worry about it anymore once a disturbed officer resigns or retires, but his victims do. And he brings his own version of the tactics with him.)
A former Nassau County police officer smashed his estranged wife's car windows with a claw hammer, beat her, threatened to kill her and tried to abduct her after he appeared in court on assault and menacing charges stemming from an October incident when police said he chained his two daughters to a tree for hours overnight, authorities said Friday.... [Stephen G.] Socci went to his wife’s workplace, waited for her to exit from work and then blocked her car in with his when she tried to leave the parking lot. After smashing her car windows, he allegedly dragged her out of the car and forced her into his car. While driving through the parking lot, he ordered her to remove the cap from a jug of gasoline. She opened the passenger side door and jumped from the moving car... ran back to her workplace, where he tackled her in the lobby...

"She fears he's going to kill her,"
[Nassau Police spokesman Anthony] Repalone said...

Socci was arrested Oct. 13, police said, after he discovered his daughters, 11 and 14, sleeping in his bed at about 12:30 a.m. He poured water on them, whipped them with a belt and then chained them to a tree until early morning, police said. He had also threatened to kill his wife that day... Socci retired from the Nassau Highway Patrol Bureau in October 2005 after 12 years of service...
