NYS Trooper Thomas Mascia was sentenced for a phony shooting that was allegedly to get attention from a love interest

A disgraced state trooper who faked shooting himself got off with a slap on the wrist in a Nassau County courtroom Wednesday — while his parents won’t get prison time in a separate case.

Thomas Macia, 27, struck a friendship deal in May after admitting this He shot himself and lied about a mysterious motorist hitting him During a late night traffic stop on October 30, 2024.

In court, Judge Robert Bogle criticized the disgraced policeman for violating his oath before sentencing him.

“To say you failed to meet these standards is a gross understatement,” Bogle said. “I hope that during your imprisonment you will reflect on your mistakes and abuse of official power.

“Everyone started supporting you,” the judge added. “But you led us to fraud and dangerous and obscene behavior,” she said, calling the false pursuit a “wild goose chase.”

Prosecutors said the wily cop pulled a “pathetic” stunt on the Southern State Parkway in West Hempstead to gain sympathy from his colleagues — and to impress an “unrequited love interest” who has not been identified.

The soldier even distributed bullet casings along the road to try to sell the ruse.

He was later transported to Nassau University Medical Center and then released in a wheelchair during a traditional police “walkout” on November 1, with dozens of law enforcement officers present.

Those lies led to an area manhunt for the alleged cop shooter, costing cops in the New York metro area valuable resources, officials said.

Macchia, who resigned in disgrace on Jan. 24, faced three years behind bars, but got a break from Nassau County prosecutors in May when he pleaded guilty to official misconduct and tampering with evidence in exchange for a six-month prison sentence and five years of probation.

He was scheduled to be sentenced in August, but the proceedings were postponed.

The dirty cop’s parents, Thomas and Dorothy Macia, were hit with weapons charges but were released Wednesday on probation and fines of $375 and $250, respectively.
