THE VACCARO ARREST REPORT


Here is the arrest report for Ticket Networks CEO Donald Vaccaro. The interesting part is that he was actually the one who called police to complain about being thrown out of the event by a "bouncer". I wonder if he is rethinking that phone call now.

UPDATE, 2:49PM: The original arrest report posted here was provided to me by the Superior Court and the address of the victim was redacted. In that report the name of the victim was still visible. After posting the report, Hartford Police spokesperson Nancy Mulroy contatced me and asked that the victims name also be reomoved and she provided me with a "redacted" version of the report, which is now posted here. Considering the fact that the charges involve a "hate crime" allegation, I agreed and posted the redacted version removing the victims name and addressRedactedVaccaroPoliceReport[1]

TICKET NETWORK CEO ISSUES ANOTHER STATEMENT AFTER ARREST



Statement from Don Vaccaro, CEO of TicketNetwork – Feb 28, 2012

I will be taking an indefinite leave of absence as CEO from TicketNetwork as I resolve this issue. TicketNetwork is a great company with wonderful employees and I do not want my personal actions to impact the company’s growth. In my absence, our long-time senior management team is more than ready for the task of running TicketNetwork without me. While I need to work through the legal process first, I hope to publicly discuss this issue more openly in the future. I am seeking personal counseling and treatment for alcohol abuse.
