Suspected DUI driver strikes multiple pedestrians in Oakland hit-and-run incident
Multiple pedestrians were struck by a suspected drunken driver Monday evening just steps away from a North Oakland high school campus. Officers were sent to the 5200 block of Broadway at about 7:30 p.m. Monday to investigate a report that several people had been hit by a vehicle. When they arrived, officers found "multiple pedestrians who sustained injuries," and paramedics took them to hospitals for treatment, police said. Police officials declined to say how many people were hurt, how badly, or whether they were crossing the street or on the sidewalk when they were hit. The driver, whose name wasn't released, allegedly fled after the collision but was found nearby a "short while later" and arrested, police said. "It appears alcohol may have played a factor in this collision," police said in an email on Wednesday. The collision was about a half-block away from Oakland Technical High School's upper campus on Clifton Street in the Rockridge neighborhood. Anyone with information is asked to call the Oakland Police Department Traffic Section at (510) 777-8570. Photos and videos can be sent to cidvideos@

Video shows police sergeant grabbing teen by neck in Rockland County
A Haverstraw police sergeant is on leave after he was seen grabbing a teenager by the neck. The incident was caught on surveillance video. It happened just after 10 p.m. Sunday outside a bodega along Broadway in Downtown Haverstraw. Surveillance footage shows young people hanging out on the sidewalk after the town's United Latin Festival and Parade. Police were also on the scene, urging many of them to go home. That's when an exchange between an officer and a 17-year-old turns violent. The unidentified Haverstraw police sergeant is seen grabbing the teen by the neck, pushing him against a store window. That sergerant is now on paid administrative leave, according to Town Supervisor Howard T. Phillips. "The actions he took were completely inappropriate," Phillips said. Phillips says there were 59 arrests that took place Sunday, including the 17-year-old. Many of those arrests, he said, were for disorderly conduct. Phillips says while police had their hands full that night, he maintains the sergeant was out of line. Confusion over whether the teen had a gun led to the significant police response outside the bodega, he said. "One of the officers' clips came out of his holster, fell on the ground. With that, another officer yelled, 'Gun,'" Phillips said. Witness Jean Poulard, who can seen in the footage just feet away from the altercation, claims the sergeant was triggered by what the teen told him. "The kid told him straight up, 'You're not my father,' and the cop lost it and basically did what he did," Poulard said. With an active investigation underway, Haverstraw Police did respond to CBS News New York's requests for comment. We were referred to the town's public information officer, but were told he is on vacation.

Ex-top doc at SUNY hospital sentenced for stealing nearly $1.5 million to fund lavish lifestyle
The former top doctor at SUNY Downstate Medical Center who stole nearly $1.5 million from the public hospital will spend up to three years in prison — after he was sentenced following his admission to using the stolen funds to fuel his extravagant lifestyle. Dr. Michael Lucchesi, 67, was sentenced to one to three years in prison in Brooklyn Supreme Court Wednesday after he admitted to stealing approximately $1.44 million from the hospital to make personal purchases for travel, his children's college tuition and a whopping $176,000 on pet care. 3 Dr. Michael Lucchesi was sentenced to one to three years in prison Wednesday in Brooklyn Supreme Court. Gregory P. Mango Lucchesi, of Staten Island, appeared in court in a disheveled blue sweatshirt and jeans — and declined to speak when given the opportunity before he was sentenced by Judge Danny Chun. The former top medical doc, who was the Chairman of Emergency Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, carried out his scheme between December 2016 and January 2023 by making personal purchases with a credit card meant to be used only for business purposes, according to Brooklyn prosecutors. Lucchesi racked up charges on the business card by pampering his pooch, spending $176,000 on pet care — which included a $120,000 bill paid to The Greenleaf Pet Resort & Hotel in New Jersey, where amenities include private doggy swim lessons, according to court docs. Prosectors say he also charged $348,000 to the company card to fund his personal travel — and spent $92,000 on sporting events, concerts and Broadway shows. He even used the money to hit the gym, stealing $109,000 to pay for a New York Sports Club membership and personal training, according to prosecutors. 3 SUNY Downstate was robbed of nearly $1.5 million, the DA said. William Miller Lucchesi pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree grand larceny on June 13. As part of the plea deal, Lucchesi also agreed to pay $720,000 in restitution, which included payments to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and Downstate Hospital. 'This defendant was entrusted with a leadership role at a critical Brooklyn medical institution and violated that trust by stealing nearly $1.5 million,' Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement. 3 As part of the plea deal, Michael Lucchesi also agreed to pay $720,000 in restitution. Gregory P. Mango He added: 'SUNY Downstate does vital, lifesaving work, and these stolen funds could have been used to support patient care and medical services. Instead, they were diverted for personal expenses over a period of years.' Lucchesi's attorney, Earl Ward, said after the sentencing that Lucchesi will move past the conviction. 'The only thing I'll say is, the legacy of Dr. Lucchesi will be the 25 years of noble work for the Brooklyn community,' Ward said.
