PALM COAST, Fla. (AP) - Authorities believe a restaurant owner
who pistol-whipped and beat a customer might have connections to
organized crime.
Warrants for Joseph Milano, which were signed by a circuit judge Friday, also list the name "Joseph Calco." The Daytona Beach News-Journal obtained the documents.
Calco was part of a crew of aspiring mobsters, but became a
federal informant and testified at the trial of Anthony Spero, who
was identified by authorities as one of New York's top organized
crime figures.
Milano was arrested Friday on two charges of possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon. The charges were "based on his
identity as Joey Calco," the State Attorney's Office told the
newspaper.
Milano was arrested in January after he allegedly attacked a
restaurant customer.
