Cop moonlights in punk band, gets injured, collects pension, continues to tour
Punk Rock Port Authority Cop Allegedly Faked On-Job Injury, Toured With Band
We all know punk rock is about wearing a torn Bad Company tee and kicking over little kids' toy trucks in Central Park playgrounds while secretly jamming out to Fall Out Boy in the privacy of your own bedroom sticking it to the man, but one Port Authority cop moonlighting as a rocker allegedly took it farther than all those wannabe Joey Ramones out there. He was arrested and arraigned today for filing injury-related insurance claims while simultaneously playing rock shows with his band...seemingly uninjured. Anarchy in the PAPD, man!
According to a complaint filed in federal court yesterday, Christopher Inserra, who has been with the Port Authority for the past five years, claimed he injured his right arm on the job. And that injury, about which Inserra consulted several PA doctors, persisted for quite some time, with Inserra reportedly collecting full pay and $31,486.66 in short-term disability payments from June 2010 until March of last year. But though Inserra insisted he "continued to be in constant pain, had difficulty using his right hand, and could not fully bend his right arm at the elbow," he must have been touched by the healing power of rock!
