On 4/16/19 I was sent to 25 Chestnut St the Newton Police Annex for a past motor vehicle hit and run. On arrival I was met by LAU, Justin who stated that upon leaving work around 1530 hrs, he observed a fresh scratch to his personal vehicle. The vehicle, MA 9XS415, was parked backed into the marked parking spot against the exterior wall of 25 Chestnut St and closest to the handicapped ramp. This will now be referred to as vehicle #1. The scratch is on the passenger side doors. 25 Chestnut St is equipped with an exterior surveillance system which caught this incident on camera. At 1210 hrs it shows an older white male in a blue/green pickup make contact with vehicle #1 two times as he was attempting to park. The vehicle drove into the parking spot, hitting the passenger corner of vehicle #1's front bumper, then the passenger door, before coming to a stop.The male that exited the pickup had a distinct grey beard and hair. A still frame of the male was shown to employees inside of 25 Chestnut St who immediately recognized and were able to identify him based off of a check he had dropped off earlier. The party is identified as MASTROPIERI, Rocco DOB 2/16/40. I spoke with MASTROPIERI via phone and explained why I was calling. He informed me that he was at the Annex dropping off a check for the NPMA and did not realize that he made contact with vehicle #1 when parking. MASTROPIERI apologized and stated that he would have reported the incident, had he known. MASTROPIERI responded to headquarters where he was issued a written warning in hand for C.O. 19-75 Failure to Use Care in Turning. The Police Annex is a building/lot with public access in the City of Newton.
