Suspended Massachusetts State Police Sergeant Charged in Deadly 2023 Crash Pleads Not Guilty
Prosecutors say Scott Quigley was intoxicated when his cruiser crossed the center line and killed 37-year-old Angelo Schettino.
- On Wednesday, suspended Massachusetts State Police Sergeant Scott Quigley appeared in Middlesex Superior Court and pleaded not guilty to felony motor vehicle homicide in connection with a December 2023 crash in Woburn that killed 37-year-old Angelo Schettino.
- Prosecutors allege Quigley drove under the influence with a blood alcohol level of 0.11, exceeding the legal limit of 0.08. However, the initial investigation by MSP Sergeant Jennifer Penton characterized the crash as a 'medical incident,' and Penton issued Quigley only a warning for a marked-lanes violation.
- On December 12, 2023, Quigley's unmarked cruiser crossed the centerline on Lexington Street and struck a van carrying Schettino, who had developmental disabilities. Schettino died January 13, 2024, from injuries sustained in the crash.
- Family attorney Mike Mahoney alleged a 'cover-up,' stating "It's a cover-up, it's been a cover-up and they're going to keep covering it up." Defense attorney Christina Pujals Ronan countered that the crash was an 'unfortunate and tragic accident — not a criminal act.'
- Quigley remains suspended without pay, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for June 9. An independent investigation into State Police's initial handling of the case, which failed to disclose Schettino's death to prosecutors, remains ongoing.
