A Deer Park woman has been rearrested after police say she threatened the wife of an officer that previously arrested her.
Suffolk County police say 31-year-old Beatrix Lacroix made a harassing phone call and sent a text message to the officer’s wife, threatening to go to their home.
She was taken into custody Monday, two days after the messages were made.
Lacroix was previously arrested in October 2025 for fleeing police.
She is charged with aggravated harassment.
“We expect our officers to carry out their duties professionally and without fear that arrests made in the line of duty will lead to intimidation, harassment, or retaliation against them or their families,” said Suffolk County Police Commissioner Kevin Catalina in a statement. “Attempts to infiltrate or target the personal lives of our officers are unacceptable, and we will not tolerate any form of retaliation directed at those who serve and protect this community.”
“Police officers’ families are not safe in their own homes," said Suffolk County PBA President Lou Civello. "This underscores the need for tougher laws to not only prosecute these crimes but to prevent them from happening."
