ALex, here is a good article about Arnold Squittieri;

"Meanwhile, he lived in a comfortable white brick house on a leafy street in Englewood Cliffs and sent his children to Catholic schools. Squitieri gained notoriety in the era of the Knapp Commission on police corruption, when he was accused of bribing three patrolmen in the 25th Precinct to release him after he shot a man dead. The bribe, rather than the killing, became the focus of headlines. On Aug. 18, 1970, Squitieri shot 31-year-old garment cutter Desiderio Caban five times at First Ave. and 117th St. A cop heard the shots, responded and saw a gold-colored Cadillac speeding away. Squitieri was captured after a wild, six-block car chase. Later that day, $5,000 allegedly was offered to the arresting officer and two other cops. They released Squitieri and omitted his name from reports on the Caban killing. The three cops were accused of dividing an initial $2,000 payment; they were indicted and acquitted but dismissed from the force after a departmental hearing. Squitieri, meanwhile, went on the lam and became the subject of a 13-state alarm. He surrendered in January 1972,"
