Witnesses Say Off-Duty NYC Police Officer Who Shot at Pizza Deliveryman’s Car Appeared Drunk

AUBURN, N.Y. — Cassie Mattes was inside the Auburn Domino’s Saturday night when she noticed a man “smash his body into the door.”

The 26-year-old assistant manager watched as the man picked himself up and moved away from the restaurant.

“It caught my attention,” she said.

Mattes said the man appeared to be highly intoxicated as he staggered into the street.

But what she saw next is something she says she will never forget:

At 11:24 p.m., that same man — later identified by Auburn police as off-duty New York City Police Officer Michael Cerrato — fired a gun twice at a Domino’s deliveryman driving past the restaurant, witnesses said.

“I said, ‘Oh my God’ and ran to the back and called 911,” Mattes said.

The Domino’s deliveryman, Cory Parsons, said he saw the man in the road as he drove past Domino’s on Dill Street after delivering pizza at the Hilton Garden Inn. But he had no clue the man had just shot in his direction as he drove to his next delivery on Elizabeth Street in Auburn, he said.

“I saw him waving something black, but I didn’t realize what it was,” said Parson, 21, of Syracuse. “I thought he had a glove on and was waving at me to slow down.”

But Parsons said he was only driving about 30 mph to 35 mph.

“I just passed him and then I heard, ‘pop,’” Parsons said. “I thought my tire popped.”

Parsons didn’t think much of it and continued to the traffic light at Dill and North streets. He stopped. As he turned right onto North Street, Parsons said he saw a flash of light in his rear view mirror.
