Three men were arrested Thursday for a burglary they committed in Rosyln Heights, police said.
According to detectives, John Coello, 22, of Union City, NJ, was seen driving a vehicle with stolen plates on Sunrise Highway in Bellmore around 1:15 a.m. After police attempted to pull his car over, Coello attempted to flee, and he intentionally rammed into a New York State Trooper's car in the process.
Two state troopers sustained minor injuries, and they were treated and released from a local hospital.
Coello's vehicle was eventually stopped and he was placed under arrest.
A second vehicle, occupied by Christopher Thomas, 26, of Matteson, IL, and Duane Holmes, 41, of North Bergen, NJ, fled the scene but was spotted and stopped on Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre, police said. Both men were placed under arrest.
An investigation revealed that the three allegedly acted together in a robbery at Jet Communications in Roslyn Heights, cops said.
Coello has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault, as well as third-degree burglary and reckless driving. Thomas and Holmes were charged with third-degree burglary as well. Their arraignment is scheduled for Friday at First District Court in Hempstead.

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
