Police officer in custody over teenager's death An Italian police officer accused of shooting a teenager who was driving his scooter without a helmet has been taken into custody in Naples. Mario Castellano was shot to death last week when he ran a police checkpoint set up to enforce a recent law mandating helmets for Italy's nine million scooter and motorcycle riders. The teenager reportedly loathed helmets because they flattened his gelled hairstyle and he had been ticketed for violating the law a number of times. His killing provoked scattered riots, calls to boycott helmets and several vigils. State police officer Tommaso Leone has been taken into custody on suspicion of homicide, the Naples prosecutor's office said. Leone, who has said the shooting was an accident, was being held without bail in a military prison.
