Incident Description
In 2007, Zalaski was found to have accosted an individual with no lawful authority to arrest him, and used an excessive amount of force after tasering the man. Zalaski was found convicted of assault with a weapon.

Zalaski made comments on a CHED radio show in 2010 about sexual assault, that he later apologized for. Zalaski said, "If you are going to go out drinking and you're are going to get involved in that environment where you know there are a lot of predators, you know there's a lot of people out there, you are dressing in a certain manners and dancing a certain ways, you are creating opportunity shall I say... there is consequences, not saying anyone deserves to be victimized, but the fact is you have to mitigate how you become a victim."
A number of EPS officers were accused of malicious prosecution and unlawful assault following an on-duty incident in 1998, and were sued in 2008 in relation to the incident, but the plaintiff's action was dismissed. The officers were also subject to review before the Law Enforcement Review Board.
