Statement of Connecticut State Police Museum Chairman Jerry Longo,

CSP Det. Sgt., Retired:

Almost every trooper at least once in his or her career gets to tackle that one memorable / big case.

Mine was most definitely chasing Louis the Coin around for two years.

Although it culminated in his arrest, it also resulted in a friendship. Weird, yes, but true.

I am pleased as I am sure my fellow troopers who worked this case and surely Louis would be flattered by the attention this case would get at The Mob Museum.
