Decorated NYPD Officer Charged With Breaking Into Woman's Apartment, Beating Her


[From article]
The 27-year-old was even pictured shaking Mayor Bill De Blasio's hand at the ceremony held at One Police Plaza.
Following the event, Donnelly went out drinking to celebrate and decided to sleep over at a friend's house in Woodlawn.
It the early hours of June 11, Donnelly was so drunk he wandered out of his friend's apartment wearing only his underwear. He then reentered the building and broke down the door of another apartment, thinking it was his friend's, the New York Daily News reported.
The unidentified 30-year-old woman woke up from the noise, and claims he proceeded to punch her more than 20 times and she tried to flee.
Donnelly eventually left and sources told the Daily News that he took a swig of milk from the woman's refrigerator before stepping out.
He was later captured on surveillance footage, and police used the images for wanted pictures before realizing the suspect was one of their own.
