Open records summary :
Motorcyclist Robert Sayen was killed in a collision with Mobile PD officer Paul Callegari. Eyewitnesses called 911 and stated that a Mobile PD cruiser hit and killed the motorcyclist and the officer had fled the scene. Eyewitness video is linked below. Four separate eyewitnesses backed up the initial 911 call that had reported the officer fleeing the scene. The incident was investigated by ALEA who only found the officer to have been "speeding" when he killed Robert Sayen, no mention of fleeing the scene of a fatal accident. Officer Callegari had been speeding through the intersection at 56 mph and ALEA confirmed that there had been no emergency or reason for speeding. Mobile PD have not taken any disciplinary action other than reassigning the officer on administrative duty. Officer Callegari is also under investigation for the beating of motorist Beezer DuBose Jr. whom he pulled from his car.
The family is asking for support. GoFundMe donations are less than the cost of the funeral for which Mobile PD seems to take no responsibility. The family also requested to "get the story out there." The GFM is linked below.
Mobile PD was again involved in causing a fatal motorcycle crash on 07/09/2024 when a so far unnamed MPD officer without sirens at 11:30 p.m ran a red light and killed motorcyclist Sumner Howard. His case is linked below.
Surveillance video is linked below.
