Former New Britain Police Captain, Anthony Paventi, Guilty Of ‘Egregious’ Misconduct

Posted in July 25th, 2012

An internal investigation has revealed that a retired Connecticut police captain had sex in a motel while he was on-duty.

The investigation concluded that Capt. Anthony Paventi, who retired last December after authorities launched their investigation over complains of improper behavior, rented rooms at a Days Inn in New Britain.

It is said that 42-year-old Paventi was on-duty during 15 visits at the motel on Berlin Turnpike. On two of those occasions Paventi collected overtime pay.

After a report of the misconduct was released on Tuesday, acting Police Chief James Wardwell released a statement saying in part: “I apologize to all the citizens we serve for this behavior, and I’m committed to see it doesn’t happen again. It isn’t representative of the good men and women I’m proud to work with. We put on our uniform every day and choose to do the right thing.”

A Days Inn employee told investigators that Paventi was a frequent guest at the motel and the staff had come to recognize his unmarked police car, which he routinely parked in an inconspicuous spot behind a tree in the rear lot.

Paventi, who is collecting $51,000 a year pension, has denied any misconduct and maintained he did not know any of the women who said he had sex with them at the motel.

I had an affair with “MY” West Hartford Cop from May 2010 to May 2012. Hotels were on the clock, meetings were on the clock – So in a sense we had sex while being paid by West Hartford Taxpayers. I submitted proof of stay and other information to the Internal Affairs Department. What happened was I was arrested for 1 phone call and a protective order was placed on the officer and his family. I was given an order to not contact the department again and was ordered to stay out of the Town of West Hartford. This Lieutenant will get his $75000.00 a year pension in 1.5 years when he retires – NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION – NOT EVEN A SLAP ON THE WRIST. They have no interest in doing anything that would call attention to this. He is married – sure his wife knows and they feel that is enough punishment for him. If you read West Hartford Police’s mission statement it states they pride themself on their officer’s having good Mortal and Ethical Condouct on the clock on and off the clock.
