What is this Nigro doing in Cumberland County? Did Pittsburgh throw him out?
Beware Cumberland County of your officials there. We here in Franklin County have a suspicious coroner.

Wait until Barney Fife and the rest of the sheriff's deputies get their power.

Looks like we got Pittsburgh's sloppy seconds!!!

If I were on a future interview panel, I could not help but notice this history on the resume or determine this through an interview. If I read this correctly, why would I ever offer this person a public service job that direclty works a highly public contact or relations type of position?

well just like Ialways said give somebody a badge and a gun they think they rule the world.

Nigro also faces a May 5 trial before Magistrate Judge Jessica Brewbaker on a March 22 charge of theft of services.----

Maybe he will accept cumberland county's hospitality at the county hotel for a few months.

Doesn't say much for Pittsburgh, does it? Wonder what he meant.

I dont buy the "6 years" in pittsburgh. The paper says he's 27... how long has he been a constable? Was he 16 when he was a cop? These type of people who somehow gravitate to law enforcement for insidious purposes should be tossed in can and the door firmly locked for a season or two. Or five.

Here is another little story about the so-called constable. Makes ya wonder where they find these people.

Are constables allowed to be armed? This moron's carry permit should be permanently revoked.

How does a constable get charged with theft and still keep his job.

[AngelKiss]

Only in America! Me thinks I smell a rat somewhere. Getting to the point where you cant even trust law enforcement anymore.

[I feel your pain]

And we wonder where the kids get it! He's the cop for the Big Spring High School? Scares the feces outta me.

AngelKiss- Your first mistake is "trusting law enforcement" in the first place. Although the majority are honest, there are quite a number that would lie to win a case, beat a bartender for not serving them more alcohol or even kill someone, like a wife or two. That same law enforcement person's testimony in court would be taken at gospel. You loose.

[Yep Yep]

hE he

another wanabe

[Why Ask Why]

Sounds like the dude has some issues.

[justme is right]

there is another constable out there that needs to be investigated. But nothing has been done about him yet.

1st, constables are elected not appointed, 2nd they have very limited training and are no where near being a police officer. Their main job is to transport prisioners and serve paperwork or stand by while papaerwork is being served. No interview process here, elect by the people for the people. Check out the candidates next time folks.

[fedup]

Another wannabe QUACK with a gun. Makes him very superior ( in his own pea brain). What he needs is to be punched very hard on the nose.
