A Long Island police officer responding to a call was killed this morning. Officer Glen Ciano,45, was on his way to assist a fellow officer with a traffic stop when a drunken driver slammed into his patrol car, which burst into flames, according to Suffolk County police.
Jose Borbon,23, was driving the vehicle that killed Ciano, and was arrested on a driving while intoxicated charge. Police say this is Borbon’s second DWI in two months and he is expected to be arraigned today.
Borbon’s attorney, William Petrillo, says Borbon’s “thoughts and prayers are with the officer’s family.”
Ciano is the 22nd Suffolk police officer that has been killed in the line of duty.
