OFFICER WHO WROTE BOGUS TICKETS PLEADS GUILTY
The police officer wrote the tickets in 2018 while assigned to the 120th Precinct in St. George, said prosecutors.
A Staten Island cop who, authorities said, wrote fake summonses to his girlfriend’s ex-beau, has issued his last ticket.
Eric Matos has also lost his job in the process.
Matos pleaded guilty on Thursday to felony charges of first-degree perjury and first-degree tampering with public records to resolve his case.
Matos was assigned to the 120th Precinct when the incidents occurred in 2018.
