Prosecutors have filed a felony perjury charge against a rookie Milpitas, California police officer who hit a pole with his patrol car and tried to pass it off as a hit-and-run collision in his official police report.
Milpitas Police Department Officer Victor Madarang, 24, had only been on the job for six months and was still on employment probation when he was fired by the department on Jan. 8, about a month after the car crash.
According to police and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, Madarang was involved in a collision in a shopping center parking lot while on duty in December 2018. He reported that his police car was hit by a motorist who then fled the scene.
