“13 SHOTS!” - Eddie Gallagher-backed Cop FRAMED for Murder | The Oldrati’s • 425

On September 14, 2021, at 01:30:00, Corporal Salvatore Alradi responded to an armed burglary call. The suspect, Charles Sharp, pointed a gun at Alradi's corporal and then at Alradi. Alradi engaged Sharp, firing 13 shots, 10 of which struck Sharp, neutralizing the threat. Sharp was found to be heavily under the influence of methamphetamine, amphetamine, and cocaine, and had a history of mental health issues and suicidal ideation.

Body camera footage shows Sharp pointing a gun at officers. Toxicology reports confirm high drug levels. Sharp's ex-wife testified that he was unstable and likely sought 'suicide by police.'

Following a two-week investigation by the Attorney General's office, Alradi was cleared of any wrongdoing, with officials stating there was 'nothing criminal here' and no violation of policy. He returned to work, was promoted, and received 'Officer of the Year' awards. However, 20 months later, under a new Attorney General, Alradi was indicted for second-degree reckless manslaughter, a decision his family believes was politically motivated.

Alradi was cleared and returned to work within two weeks. The indictment occurred in May 2023, two years after the incident, by a different Attorney General (Matt Plankton).

Alradi's family asserts that crucial evidence supporting his justification for the shooting was withheld from the grand jury. This includes the ex-wife's testimony detailing Sharp's extensive history of suicidal attempts (over 100 on record), severe drug and alcohol abuse, and her belief that he intentionally provoked the police. Additionally, the full toxicology report, which showed extremely high levels of illicit drugs, was not fully presented.

Sharp's ex-wife, Ms. Berggo, proactively contacted detectives the day after the shooting to state, 'I know he did this on purpose,' referring to suicide by police, and detailed his long history of mental health and substance abuse issues. The original toxicology report showed high levels of methamphetamine, amphetamine, and cocaine, which a new expert found to be even higher than initially reported, and indicated recent cocaine use.

The Alradi family contends that the prolonged legal process, including the two-year delay to indictment and subsequent lack of movement in the case, is a deliberate tactic to financially and emotionally exhaust Salvatore. He has been suspended without pay and benefits for three years, forcing his family to pool resources and fundraise for legal fees and living expenses.

Alradi was suspended without pay and benefits since May 2023. The family is raising funds through the Pipe Hitter Foundation and a GiveSendGo campaign. The father states, 'The process is the punishment.'
