A suburban New York police officer sent herself a series of vile, menacing text messages and claimed she’d been the target of harassment by colleagues, prosecutors said.

Ossining police officer Emily Hirshowitz, 36, made reports to the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office dating back to May last year, detailing anonymous, threatening messages she’d been allegedly receiving, according to a criminal complaint filed in White Plains City Court last week.
