David P. Santuomo’s Cruise Plans Went Off Course

Columbus, Ohio – Okay folks, a little something about me. I was raised in the emergency medical field and became licensed. Later in life I decided I’d step up the game and became a certified firefighter. If there’s one thing I don’t take lightly, it’s our pledge of service and the code of ethics. Nothing pisses me off more than hearing of some ass-wipe posing as “one of us”. I know one fuck-upThe Fuck-Up reviewsThe Fuck-Up reviews does not ruin a profession’s reputation but I guarantee you, we don’t view it that way. And so it is David Santuomo, firefighter, who is the log I’m tossing into the blaze.

David Santuomo

David is a romancer and a tight wad. Story is, Davyboy was fixin’ to take his girlfriend on a cruise but had a bit of a problem deciding what to do with the two pooches he adopted from the Capital Area Humane Society. Now apparently he didn’t want to spend money on having them kenneled. Hell-fucking-no people. That’s good money right there. Think of all the baubles he could buy – or the booze – the lap dances from old ladies when his girlfriend is passed-out drunk. We’re talking some serious mad money here. Nope, kenneling was out. What about the neighbors? Bingo! For some reason this free service and courtesy was not even considered, even though the neighbors volunteered.

What to do. What to do. Think strong, brave man, think. Shoot them? Perfect. And that’s what he did. Shot them dead. This man who crawls into a burning building to save people and animals shot his fucking dogs because he’s a selfish prick.

Here’s how the authorities say it went down. The biggest coward of a firefighter I’ve ever head of, laid down a plastic sheet in his basement, tied the two dogs to a pipe with their bodies partially suspended. With me thus far? He then shot them multiple times with some sort of homemade silencer attached to his gun. And get this, he dumped the carcasses in a trash bin behind his fucking fire station. If that wasn’t enough, he bragged about it to the other guys on the department. Joked even. No remorse what-so-ever. Those great men immediately turned him in.

Equally disturbing is the sentence he received. After pleading guilty to two counts of animal cruelty and one count of possessing a criminal tool (the homemade silencer) that fucker got off with 90 days in jail, $4500  restitution, $150 in fines, some community service. (no firearms – random home inspections, etc. over a five year period) He was also ordered to write a letter of apology to a firefighters magazine and to the readers of the Columbus Dispatch. Oh, and those 90 days? They’re allowing him to serve them in 10 day stints over a two year period. How considerate.

David, I hope the flames of hell are constantly burning your ass and your days of humiliating the fire service are long over. You’re a disgrace to all who have given their lives for the things you selfishly took.

    This man should not be a firefighter. What happens if someone else gets in the way of plans he has? Will he shoot them too? If nothing else, I wouldn’t feel safe in this guy having my back.

    What’s weirdest about this story is that he GOT the dogs from the humane society. Why not just give them back if he didn’t want them? It makes no sense, unless his motive was just to KILL something – anything. If that’s the case, he is a danger to society and needs to be locked up for a long damned time.

    I think that might be the case. I mean yeah it can get expensive to board your dogs, but if your already planning a big vacation, what’s a couple hundred extra bux. Then he finds out he has another option, the neighbors for free!!! Sick son of a bitch is he!

    What I can’t get over is putting the dogs in a trash can behind his own firehouse…and bragging about it. This dude couldn’t have believed his buddies and co-workers would just look past something like that, could he?

    Seriously, firefighters depend on good strong character traits. One must be able to make sound decisions during a crisis. That’s why the screening process is so great with these departments. I sure don’t want to be in an emergency situation with some guy who thinks shooting his dogs is the best solution.

    Here is an update:

    A judge has given a 90-day jail sentence to an Ohio firefighter accused of killing his dogs to avoid boarding them while he went on vacation.

    Forty-three-year-old David Santuomo of Columbus pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of animal cruelty and one count of possession of a criminal tool a homemade silencer he used on the end of a rifle.

    At least he will pay a little. I am sure it is not over for him.

    I hate… HATE… when a letter of apology is forced from a defendant.

    Nothing says your sentiments are authentic like an order from a judge to say them. Who honestly believes he’s sorry? Besides for being caught…

    Oh yeah, this guy is a gem. He’s a major fuck-up. The latest from the Columbus Dispatch

    Santuomo had worked briefly as a Franklin County deputy and part-time Westerville firefighter before joining the Columbus Division of Fire in 1996. His personnel files since then show that he’s been verbally reprimanded several times, including for being late for work six times.

    He also was reprimanded three times for making discourteous comments to co-workers and the public, including twice for broadcasts that were deemed inappropriate from the dispatching center. In 2007, Santuomo was disciplined for allowing his basic Emergency Medical Technician license to expire. The license is required by the state of Ohio and the union contract. Supervisors gave him an extension — and access to patients — until May 2009.

    Court records show he currently faces trial for a misdemeanor criminal charge of passing a bad check, for a check that bounced to the Ohio Auto Club. His driver’s license also was suspended for failing to pay a traffic fine in February. In that case, he was granted driving privileges for trips to the gas station, groceries and to and from work.

    My sentiments exactly! I fucking hate that. What are these judges thinking? How about an appropriately harsh sentence, instead? And why is he being given the opportunity to break up the 90 days? WHY does he deserve that? WHY?

    Let’s see…the neighbors offered, he could have dropped them back off at the humane society…he could have just left them on the side of the road, for fuck’s sake…he BRAGGED to his coworkers…yup, all signs point to this sadistic fucker simply wanted the adrenaline rush of killing something. Asshole. I hope he is attacked by a rabid pit bull. Or me.

    He’s been fired.

    Firefighter who killed dogs is fired

    Some notes of interest in this article.

    The Dispatch and WBNS-TV (Channel 10) have learned that Santuomo sent a threatening text message to a fellow firefighter because he thought a Columbus police officer had turned him in to the Capital Area Humane Society.

    The message said, “You realize that there is a funeral in CPD’s future,” according to the internal-affairs investigative report.

    Franklin County Municipal Judge Harland H. Hale said today that Santuomo, 43, will be expected to serve his jail sentence all at once. Hale had written in a sentencing memo that the firefighter could serve the time in 10-day increments beginning in September but only if he was still employed.

    David Santuomo is appealing his termination. However, the union will not help him.
