A Solon Cop gets Probabtion for Threatening to Kill his Kid, Girlfriend

Posted by Pete Kotz on Wed, May 30, 2007 at 4:42 PM

The last time we caught up with Andrew Kolcinko, the Solon cop was facing 27 criminal charges after he threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth Stevens, and their child [“Caught on Tape,” February 21]. Stevens gave Garfield Heights police over 15 hours of recorded phone conversations in which Kolcinko promised to shoot her and then smother their son. "We will see when I choke that little motherfucker and put the pillow on his fucking face just until he almost stops breathing," Kolcinko could be heard saying. Kolcinko said his threats were baited by Stevens and vowed to fight the charges. But that was before he actually heard the tapes. On May 24, just 10 days after finally listening to the recordings, Kolcinko plead no contest to five of the charges. “You can’t explain those [threats] away,” says prosecutor James McGrath. “When the attorney listened to [those tapes], he problem told [Kolcinko] to fold up his tent.” Kolcinko, who has since lost his job with the Solon Police Department, offered a tearful apology before he was sentenced to two years of probation, anger management and domestic violence classes, and a $5,000 fine. If he contacts Stevens or any of her relatives, he could face up to 18 months in the slammer. Still, McGrath thinks this isn’t the last he or Stevens will hear from Kolcinko. “This fella just doesn’t get it,” McGrath says. “If I was a betting man, I’d bet that we see them again. Love dies hard. There’s a fatal attraction there for whatever reason.” – Denise Grollmus

I just love Prosecutor McGrath's comments. This is the same Prosecutor who arrested for waiving his little dick at 116th and Miles Ave? McGrath has no credibility at all. You're out at 300 am on Miles just driving around and decide to "get a cheap thrill" in your own words from a complete stranger. McGrath is a piece of shit who "just doesn"t get it". How do you explain away your actions McGrath, fatal attraction with your liitle dick? I have no doubt you will be back in court on sexual charges. This is not just something you did one time, everyone at GHPD knew you were in that area at night all the time and would sleep in your office at Garfield court on many occassions. This is what justice is alll about. What goes around comes around" Anyy comments now Fat Boy?
