BRIDGEPORT - Two veteran police officers have been removed from duty following a weekend in which officers clashed with dozens of people, first at a child’s birthday party and later at a West Side club. Two local lawyers have notified the city they intend to bring civil rights actions against the police for many of those arrested. Sgt. Paul Scillia and Officer Thomas Lattanzio have been placed on paid leave pending an investigation by the city’s Office of Internal Affairs, Police Chief Armando Perez confirmed. “I have taken the officers off line while we look into some allegations,” Perez said. “There are issues of how they interacted with the public.” Perez said both officers were involved in an incident on Oct.
