Carmine "The Bull" Agnello (born 1960) is a New York mobster of the Gambino crime family who ran a scrap metal recycling operation.
Agnello came out to argue with the officer, then started his Ford Bronco and rammed the police vehicle, pushing it 15 feet (4.6 m) down the street.
Undercover New York Police Department (NYPD) officers had set up a phony scrap metal business in Willets Point, Queens.
[4] According to testimony, Agnello promised a cooperating witness $2000 to "buy glass bottles (and) fill them up (with gasoline) and throw them all around the truck" of a competitor.
[6] On October 26, 2001, Agnello was sentenced to nine years in federal prison and ordered to forfeit $10 million in assets to the court.
The family lived in a mansion in Old Westbury, New York, that was the location in 2004 for the reality television series, Growing Up Gotti.
