Phillip Grabski, an ex-Butler police officer convicted of taking

narcotics from a Butler home, was ordered Monday to serve three
years of probation.
As a condition of his probation, Grabski, who is the son-in-law of

former City of Pewaukee Police Chief Gary Bach, was ordered
to spend 90 days at the Waukesha County Huber Facility and to

spend the following 90 days wearing an electronic monitoring

bracelet.
Grabski pleaded guilty in March in Waukesha County Circuit

Court to one count of narcotic drug possession.
According to a criminal complaint, Grabski took oxycodone pills

from a residence in October 2009. He was placed on administrative
suspension Oct. 8 and resigned Dec. 19.

A Bakersfield Police Department officer who was named an

American Red Cross Real Hero for his role in breaking up an
attempted armed robbery last year was arrested Saturday for
driving his police cruiser to work while under the influence of what
investigators believe to be prescription drugs.

Officer Aaron Stringer, a five-year veteran of the Bakersfield

Police Department, was arrested Saturday afternoon after witnesses
observed him driving erratically near Coffee Road and Truxtun
Avenue on his way to work at 10:39 a.m. and called police to report
the situation.
Lt. Andrew Garner said one of the witnesses followed Stringer east
on Truxtun Avenue until he turned into the Bakersfield Police
Department main offices at Truxtun and Eye Street.
Stringer was contacted in the parking lot by police and

evaluated and interviewed before being arrested on
misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and hit-
and-run.
A department drug recognition expert determined Stringer

was under the influence of a prescription drug, Garner said.
Garner would not disclose the type of drug it is believed Stringer

took or whether that drug was prescribed to him, or another
person. The issue is a personnel matter, Garner said.
The hit-and-run charge against Stringer stems from a minor

collision he had as he left his apartment complex Saturday morning.
Stringer disclosed to investigators that he had struck a ground-

mounted air conditioning unit with his patrol vehicle, Garner said.
Garner said damage to Stringer's police cruiser was minor

and the department probably would not have known about
the accident without Stringer's disclosure.
Stringer is on paid administrative leave pending the results

of criminal and internal investigations. The arrest comes less
than two weeks after Stringer and officer Isaac Aleman were
honored by the Kern County Law Enforcement Foundation for
heroism in the line of duty.
"They run into danger" whenever duty calls, said Bakersfield Police
Chief Greg Williamson in recognizing the two officers. "They put
their lives on the line."
Just before midnight on Sept. 20, 2009, Aleman and Stringer

responded to a call about suspicious individuals in dark hoods
loitering around a 7-11 store on Wilson Road.
They approached the store on foot. Stringer went to the front of the
store and Aleman went to the back where he located three armed
juveniles. Aleman yelled at the juveniles to stop. One of them, then
17-year-old Sa Ron Green, fired a handgun at Aleman -- hitting him
once in the leg.
Stringer, hearing the gunfire, ran to his partner's aid and the two
officers returned fire. Green was hit multiple times and fell to the
ground. Green survived the shooting and, with the two other

individuals, was arrested on charges of attempted robbery and

attempted murder. Aleman returned to duty and was honored by
the Bakersfield Police Department with a Medal of Valor in
December.
Stringer received a Chief's Commendation in December and was

honored by the Kern County chapter of the American Red Cross,
with Aleman, as a Real Hero in March.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- A Bakersfield police officer has been

arrested for driving under the influence of prescription medication
and hit and run.
The arrest followed citizen reports to the department Saturday

morning in which the officer was observed driving his patrol car
erratically in the area of Coffee Road and Truxtun Avenue.
One motorist followed officer Aaron Stringer to police headquarters

at 1601 Truxtun Ave. where police personnel immediately made

contact with Stringer.
Investigators determined Stringer was impaired by suspected

prescription medication and he was arrested. They also determined
that Stringer hit a small air conditioning unit as he was leaving his
home this morning causing minor damage to the unit and Stringer's
patrol car.
Officer Stringer has been placed on administrative leave.

New details emerged Monday about the Saturday arrest of a

Bakersfield police officer who allegedly was driving under the
influence of a drug while in a patrol car.

Initial reports said Aaron Stringer, 30, was under the influence of
prescription medication, but police said Monday they don’t know
what substance might be involved.
Stringer, a five-year veteran of the department and a recent “Real

Hero” winner of an American Red Cross award, was seen swerving
across traffic lanes of Truxtun Avenue and at one point hitting a
curb on his way to work, Police Chief Greg Williamson confirmed.
Before Stringer even got to a public road, the bottom of his open
driver’s door bumped into a ground air-conditioning unit as he was
backing out at his apartment building, the chief said.
At least one person followed Stringer to the back parking lot of the
downtown police station and several people called police to report
erratic driving by someone in a patrol car, Williamson said.
Williamson said he could not disclose any more about what drug
may have been involved because it is still under investigation.
Police said Saturday alcohol was not a factor in the 10:39 a.m.
incident.
Attempts to reach Stringer on Monday through his Facebook page

and at his home went unanswered.
A department drug recognition expert contacted Stringer as he got

into the police parking lot, police said. After that evaluation and
questioning, Stringer was arrested on misdemeanor charges of
driving under the influence of a drug and hit-and-run, stemming
from the minor damage to his car and the air-conditioning unit.
Williamson confirmed that Stringer was booked into the jail at about
5:30 p.m. and later released.
Kern County Superior Court clerks said he was cited and released
from jail without having to post bail, and he is scheduled to be
arraigned July 21.
The chief said the only consideration Stringer received was a delay
in booking so that civilian clothes could be brought to him.
Williamson said it would not have been safe to book him wearing a
police uniform.
Stringer was placed on paid administrative leave pending the

results of the criminal and internal investigations. Williamson said
that is normal procedure based on a presumption of innocence.
The officer could face punishments ranging from a written

reprimand to termination, Williamson said. Generally, an officer
would not be fired for a misdemeanor driving under the influence
arrest, he said.
Williamson said neither he nor any other officers he checked with

Monday could remember an officer arrested while under the
influence in a patrol car. A few off-duty officers have been arrested

for driving under the influence over the years, he said.
The arrest of Stringer came less than a week after the Los Angeles
Times reported that alcohol-related incidents involving Los Angeles
Sheriff’s Department employees have increased 38 percent this
year. The department reported 33 incidents from January to May
including several cases in which deputies were found to be drunk on
duty, the department reported. For the same time last year, there
were 24.
Stringer received a chief’s commendation in December and was

honored by the Red Cross for running to his partner’s aid in a
gunfight at a 7-Eleven store on Wilson Road in September.

Police: BPD Officer Arrested On DUI Charge In Patrol Car

Officer Was Heading Into Work, When Spotted Driving Erratically

UPDATED: 9:23 am PDT June 28, 2010
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- A Bakersfield police officer on his way to

work Saturday morning was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run. The
department believes Officer Aaron Stringer was on prescription
medication. The decorated officer now faces two misdemeanor
charges.
As Stinger was driving to the station Saturday, witnesses flooded

the BPD with calls about how he was driving.

"We received several calls from citizens involving a Bakersfield

Police Department patrol vehicle driving erratically," Lt. Andrew
Garner said Saturday evening.
The patrol car was in the area of Coffee Road and Truxtun Avenue
when one of the callers began following Stringer. That person
followed him all the way to the department's back lot.
That's where Stringer was met by other officers and shortly there
after was arrested on suspicion of DUI, not because of alcohol but
rather prescription drugs. However, what those drugs were and why
he was taking them has not been released, officials are only saying
that's what they suspect.
Stringer's name is a familiar one in the last year. Stringer and his
partner, Officer Isaac Aleman, were involved in a shooting at the 7-
Eleven on Wilson Road last September. Aleman was wounded and
both officers were cleared in the shooting.
Aleman was named the first ever Bakersfield Police Employee of the
Year and Stringer received the department's Medal of Valor.
Seven months later, he's been booked into the Kern County Jail on
misdemeanor charges of DUI and hit-and-run, the latter charge he
confessed to, according to Garner. He admitted to having hit an air
conditioning unit with his patrol car when leaving his residence on
Saturday morning.
Stringer was booked into the Kern County Jail on Saturday

afternoon and was being held on $10,000 bond. He is due in court
Tuesday afternoon on both misdemeanor charges, according to the
Sheriff's Inmate Website.

Extended Sabatical Police Are Waiting for Toxicology Reports from Saturday Arrest of

UPDATED: 10:30 am PDT June 29, 2010
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Many questions still linger in the weekend

arrest of a Bakersfield Police officer as he drove to work in his
patrol car. Officer Aaron Stringer was arrested for driving under the
influence of, what the department believes to be, prescription drugs.
The district attorney's office has yet to file formal charges as the
investigation is still continuing, but Officer Stringer was arrested
Saturday on a misdemeanor DUI charge, as well as misdemeanor
hit and run. However, the circumstances of what prescription
medication he was believed to be on, and why he was taking it,
remain unclear
"In my mind, he (Stringer) had been a very good officer," BPD Chief
Greg Williamson said on Monday, "he was very deserving of that
Medal of Valor because he ran to a gunfight and saved the life of
one of his fellow officers."
Those were the actions of Stringer in October of last year at the

Wilson Road 7-11 robbery attempt. Nine months later, he's on paid
administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal
investigation and his arrest for misdemeanor hit and run and
driving under the influence of prescription drugs after members of
the public saw him driving erratically in his patrol car as he headed
to work Saturday morning.
He was given a blood or urine test to determine what he may have

been on, the results of which aren't known just yet and neither are
the circumstances. But Stringers arrest highlights a growing
problem across the country.
"Not only in places of work, but our children and our citizens are
faced with it everyday-and we see people everyday under the
influence of prescription narcotics," Williamson said.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 20-percent of

people in the United States have used prescription drugs for
nonmedical reasons, mostly painkillers.
Also leading to abuse and potential side effects, the misuse of

prescriptions and even over the counter medication.
"Benadryl is a classic medication," San Joaquin Community Hospital

Pharmacist Oscar Gutierrez said. "You give it to children all the
time, however a lot of adults take to help them sleep because it
does cause drowsiness. So, taken in large enough quantities it can
impair anybody and if they're out there driving it will impair their
driving abilities."
Gutierrez says you should be mindful of anything you put in your

body and consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any
concerns.
In Stringer's case, or anyone in the general public's for that matter,

Williamson says you'll be held to the letter of the law whether it is
intentional or accidental and whether it is prescription or over the
counter medication.
"Its very difficult for us to determine (intent)," Williamson said. "So

our job in these instances is to protect our citizens, enforce the law
and allow the judicial process to play out in the courts."
In other words, the BPD will let the district attorney's office and the
courts determine the intent of Stringer's actions on Saturday. He
was tentatively scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.

State troopers' misconduct irks Perdue

RALEIGH -- Gov. Bev Perdue expressed anger and frustration Friday
after another state trooper resigned as a result of misconduct.
Master Trooper Timothy S. Stiwinter quit after being charged

with drunken driving and felony hit and run by Asheville police.
The patrol also confirmed Friday that Lt. Roger Young, a trooper
based in Greensboro, resigned June 16.

N.C. Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Jeff Gordon said he could not
comment on why Young resigned, citing state personnel privacy
protections.
The latest resignations add to what has been a spate of

embarrassing personnel problems for the patrol, with troopers fired
or forced to resign for lying, having sex on the job, abusing
animals, driving drunk and assaulting female motorists.
Perdue said Friday she is tired of unpleasant surprises involving the

Highway Patrol.
"No one is angrier or more frustrated by this latest news about

misbehaving troopers than I am," Perdue said, according to a
written statement. "You know me as the governor working to set
government straight - and I can tell you one thing, this has to stop."
Perdue appointed a longtime friend from New Bern, Col. Randy

Glover, as the patrol's commander last year, saying that he could
lead by example at an agency then rocked by sex scandals and
revelations of trooper misconduct. But Glover's moral authority was
soon eroded after it became known that he was disciplined early in
his career for carrying on an extramarital affair with a sheriff's
dispatcher, a transgression potentially considered a firing offense
under the patrol's current standards for conduct.
Stiwinter was arrested after a wreck Thursday night in which a

vehicle ran a red light and hit a car, before leaving the scene.
Investigators say Stiwinter, who was off duty at the time, was
stopped by an Asheville police officer a couple of hours later.
An officer detected the smell of alcohol on Stiwinter's breath and

noted that he appeared unsteady, according to the Asheville police.
The trooper refused to take a field sobriety test or a breath-alcohol
test, and a search warrant was filed to test Stiwinter's blood for
alcohol.
Stiwinter, a trooper since 1999, was assigned to Troop G in

Hendersonville.
On Wednesday, one of the patrol's highest-ranking officers, Maj.

Everett Clendenin, was forced to resign after he was placed under
investigation for inappropriate text messages sent to a female
coworker. Clendenin, who is married, served for a decade as the
patrol's primary public spokesman, often standing before reporters
when some other trooper had lost his job due to misconduct.
The state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, which

includes the Highway Patrol, has refused to release copies of the
text messages sent to the woman from Clendenin's state-owned
mobile phone. The messages are public records under state law.
Crime Control Secretary Reuben Young announced Clendenin's

resignation at a hastily called news conference. He called the

major's misconduct an "unfortunate occurrence" that "is not

reflective of the outstanding character and history of this great
organization."
A parade of departures
But troopers losing their jobs in disgrace have not been rare in
recent years, or in the last month. And the problems have included
some of the patrol's most seasoned and highest-ranking troopers.
Capt. James Williams Jr., who supervised patrol operations in a

12-county area that includes Wake, was fired May 13 after he was
caught driving drunk while off duty on Interstate 85. Three officers
from Butner Public Safety, a state agency, were also fired for failing
to arrest Williams, deciding instead to give the trooper a ride to a
nearby motel.
Trooper Larry B. Lovicka of Raleigh resigned June 7. He is under

investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation for alleged
criminal misconduct against a woman during a May traffic stop.
Since 1998, at least 30 members of the patrol have been disciplined

or fired for sexual misconduct, including having on-duty sex
encounters in and on their patrol cars. During one romp, a trooper
inadvertently dropped his state-issued handgun, which was later
found by children. He received a five-day suspension.
Trooper goes to prison
Trooper Michael Steele Jr. was sentenced to nearly seven years

in prison for abducting and fondling Hispanic women at traffic stops
in Orange County in 2008 and then threatening them with
deportation if they told.
Trooper Ronald Ezzell Jr., a 19-year veteran of the patrol, was

fired last year for showing an explicit photo to a state credit union
teller. He was in uniform and in a patrol car at the time.
Two years ago, the Highway Patrol hired a team of outside

consultants to examine its troubled culture.
According to their report, the consultants concluded that the patrol

is "an exceedingly macho, pseudo-military culture" where some
veteran troopers described sex on the job as "an expected fringe
benefit."
Perdue said Friday she recognizes that the repeated disclosures of

misconduct have harmed the reputation of an agency long regarded
as among the state's best.
"Every incident like this tarnishes the badge that so many brave
men and women wear with pride and dignity every day," Perdue
said. "Every story like this one further erodes the public's
confidence in what should be the state's elite law enforcement
agency."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) An off-duty North Carolina Highway Patrol

trooper has resigned after his arrest on charges of drunken driving
and felony hit and run.
The Asheville Citizen-Times obtained court papers that say a vehicle

driven by Master Trooper Timothy Scott Stiwinter of
Hendersonville ran a red light Thursday night and hit another car
at an Asheville intersection.
Investigators say Stiwinter was stopped by an Asheville police

officer a couple hours later who smelled alcohol on Stiwinter's
breath and saw he was unsteady.

Authorities say Stiwinter refused to take a field sobriety test or a

breath-alcohol test, so a search warrant has been filed to test his
blood.
It was unclear if Stiwinter has an attorney.
Stiwinter had been with the Highway Patrol since 1999.

ASHEVILLE — Police believe an off-duty N.C. Highway Patrol trooper
was drunk when he ran a red light and hit a car, leaving a Franklin
man with serious injuries.
Trooper Timothy Scott Stiwinter, of Ellerslie Acre,

Hendersonville, resigned early Friday morning, hours after the
wreck at the intersection of Airport and Fanning Bridge roads in
Buncombe County, the Highway Patrol said.
Asheville police arrested him on charges of drunken driving and

felony hit and run.

Franklin resident Ronald Schott was at Mission Hospital in serious

condition on Friday.
“We are grateful he is alive,” said his wife, Patricia Schott. “It was a
serious accident. He was pretty badly injured.”
Schott was on his way home from an out-of-town trip trip, his wife
said. He doesn't remember the accident.
Officer Danny Britt stopped Stiwinter's 2006 Nissan Titan on

Hendersonville Road after the 11:54 p.m. wreck.
Stiwinter refused to perform a field sobriety test or a take breath-

alcohol test, according to a search warrant filed by Officer A.M.
Fowler to get a court order for his blood.
The blood will be tested to determine its alcohol level. The test
hadn't been completed on Friday.
Stiwinter was released on an involuntary commitment order,

according to court papers. The order generally means a person
must be evaluated because there is reason to believe he is a danger
to himself or others.
He did not immediately return a telephone message on Friday.
Fowler, according to her search warrant application, detected an

odor of alcohol on Stiwinter. She said in court papers that he was
unsteady on his feet. Fowler listed him as “unemployed” on the
search warrant.
The warrant was issued at 4:45 a.m. Stiwinter resigned 15 minutes

later, according to the Highway Patrol.
Capt. Sarah Benson, who heads the patrol division, said she didn't
know why the officer didn't list Stiwinter's occupation.
“They really don't have to list that on the ticket,” she said.
“Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.”
Fowler wasn't available for comment on Friday. Acting Sgt. Scott

Pruett, who also worked the wreck and is writing the crash report,
wasn't available, said Benson.
The report, which is public record, wasn't finished, Benson said. It

might be filed on Monday, she said.
Benson said officers try to get crash reports in by the end of their
shifts but lengthy investigations can take longer to complete.
She said this case was “a more serious accident than a fender-
bender.”
Stiwinter was a master trooper who had been with the Highway

Patrol since 1999. He was assigned to Henderson County and made

$56,330 a year, according to state employment records.
Stiwinter in 2007 faced a civil complaint for domestic violence, but

the matter has since been resolved, according to court records.

An off-duty state trooper assigned to the Hendersonville Patrol

Office resigned Friday after his arrest on charges of driving while
impaired and felony hit and run, according to N.C. Highway Patrol
officials.
Master Trooper Timothy Scott Stiwinter was involved in a car

wreck around 12:45 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Airport
Road and Fanning Bridge Road in Buncombe County, said Sgt. Jeff
Gordon, press information officer at the Highway Patrol office in
Raleigh.
Court papers say the trooper ran a red light and struck another
vehicle.
Asheville police stopped Stiwinter's vehicle a couple hours later. His

breath smelled of alcohol and the trooper was unsteady, according
to investigators.

Stiwinter refused a field sobriety test or a breath-alcohol so a

search warrant was filed to test his blood, investigators said.
After his arrest, he was processed at the Buncombe County Sheriff's

Office.
He is on custody release, according to Lt. Randy Sorrells with the

Sheriff's Office.
Stiwinter had been with Highway Patrol Troop G District 3 in

Hendersonville since 1999.
It was unclear if Stiwinter has an attorney.
More problems
The arrest comes two days after the spokesman for the N.C.
Highway Patrol resigned during an investigation into charges of
sending inappropriate text messages to a female co-worker.
Maj. Everett Clendenin, who had been spokesman for the agency
for nine of his 22 years there, offered his resignation on Wednesday.
The agency has a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate conduct,

said Reuben Young, State Crime Control and Public Safety
Secretary.
Multiple media outlets report that Clendenin issued a brief

statement in which he admitted to poor judgment, but denied he
had a sexual relationship with a co-worker.
State officials are considering whether to release the text messages.

RoadRanger1 SB Police officer Aaron D Thornton arrested for driving erratically (WI)
TEMPORARILY BANNED
The former (crooked) police chief just left, and suddenly one of the
"officers" gets arrested for DWI???
(And I LOVE how the newspaper tried to minimize the event by
listing it as "driving erratically" instead of "DWI" )

Posts: 88 Police officer arrested for driving erratically
By Ramelle Bintz • rbintz@doorcountyadvocate.com • May 8, 2010
A Sturgeon Bay police officer was arrested about 3 a.m. after

driving erratically on the Maple-Oregon Street Bridge in

Sturgeon Bay. He now faces operating while intoxicated, first

offense, charges.
Interim Police Chief Arleigh Porter confirmed there is an

ongoing internal investigation into the incident and that the
officer was placed on paid leave Sunday.
"I'm not going to identify him," Porter said Wednesday. "It's

important to know this was an off-duty officer and the
sergeant who stopped him immediately radioed the Door
County Sheriff's Department to respond to the traffic stop
according to protocol."
While Porter declined to name the officer, court documents

show Aaron D. Thornton, 38, of Sturgeon Bay was
arrested May 2 for a traffic charge of operating under
the influence Thornton has been with the Sturgeon Bay
Police Department since November 2002.
Because the driver suspected of operating under the influence

was a subordinate of the arresting officer, Porter said, the
Sheriff's Department was called after the vehicle was stopped
in a parking lot. A Door County deputy made the arrest.
The suspect was taken to Door County Memorial Hospital for a

blood draw. Those results, he said, will be a deciding factor in
how to proceed.
Porter said he was called by 3:30 a.m. Sunday and after

conferring with Police Lt. Tom Baudhuin, the officer was placed
on paid administrative leave about 8 a.m. the same day.
"I've heard of instances like this in other areas of the state,"

Porter said. "This is the first time something like this has
happened here in the 30 years I've been here."
The incident came just two days after Porter assumed

the role of interim police chief. Former Police Chief Dan
Trelka left the department Friday to become the chief of
police in Waterloo, Iowa. Porter was named interim chief until
the city's Fire and Police Commission hires Trelka's
replacement later this summer.
Thornton is due in traffic court in June for an offense that, in

Wisconsin, is a traffic violation. If convicted, he will lose his
driver's license for several months.

The police chief's attempt at secrecy only re-enforces the

perception of wrongdoing by his department.
It was as bad a move as the offence itself.
The citizens will not respect a public office that feels it should
operate in secret.

Sturgeon Bay police officer resigns
after drunken-driving conviction
By Ramelle Bintz • June 23, 2010
A Sturgeon Bay police officer arrested last month

for driving while intoxicated resigned last week,
according to interim Police Chief Arleigh Porter.
Aaron D. Thornton, 38, Sturgeon Bay, pleaded no

contest June 14 in Door County Circuit Court to a
first offense of operating under the influence on
May 2. Thornton was off duty when he was stopped
by a Sturgeon Bay police officer for driving
erratically on the Maple-Oregon Bridge about 3 a.
m. that Sunday.
After Thornton was pulled over, the Door County

Sheriff's Department was called, and a deputy
made the arrest. He was taken to Door County
Memorial Hospital for a blood draw to determine
his blood-alcohol level, as is commonly done for
others arrested for a first offense.

Thornton was placed on paid administrative leave

the morning he was arrested, Porter said. He
resigned on Thursday. Thornton had been with the
Sturgeon Bay Police Department almost eight years.
In court for what is a traffic offense under

Wisconsin law, Thornton's license was revoked for
nine months, and he was fined $786. He also was
ordered to have an alcohol or drug assessment and
comply with treatment. Part of his plea included
the dismissal of a second charge of operating with
a prohibited alcohol content of 0.10 or more.

This shouldnt present a serious problem for Thornton. Given the

fierce loyalty of various Amerikan "police" unions and the blind
arrogance of their members, poor Thornton would fit right in most
"police departments" looking for another drunken sociopath to fill
their ranks. He wont remain unemployed for long; he'll merely have
to relocate. The Amerikan Fat Blue Line Gang takes very good care
of its "own".

A St. Croix County deputy has been demoted and suspended
without pay following an OWI arrest last week.
Sheriff Dennis Hillstead said Monday that Mike Winberg, 36, was
demoted from patrol captain to lieutenant and suspended for 30
days without pay after Hillstead reviewed the incident Friday.
Hillstead said it was a tough decision and the penalties are harsh

but he added, "Law enforcement is and should be held to a higher

standard."
Winberg was arrested for OWI in Grand Chute in the northeast

part of the state about 10:30 p.m. May 4. He was driving a county-
owned car to a week-long management seminar in Appleton, the
sheriff said.
"He was held in the Outagamie County Jail for about 10 hours,"
said Hillstead. St. Croix County sheriff's personnel traveled to Grand
Chute Monday to bring back Winberg and the car.
Winberg was immediately placed on paid administrative leave

pending a review of the incident according to state statute, the
sheriff said. He said Grand Chute authorities notified him about 1 a.
m. May 5.
"You live in a glass house when you become a law enforcement

officer and a lot of people want to throw rocks at it," said Hillstead.
Winberg was promoted to patrol captain last July and was the
youngest deputy to take over the position. The town of Forest
native started with the sheriff's department as a full-time employee
in 1993.
"It was a tough call to make. Mike has done very well as a deputy.
You have to weigh a moment of stupidity against a number of years
of good service. In the end, I made the decision that was best for
the department," he said.
The sheriff said the result is costly for Winberg, in terms of

the demotion to a lower salary and 30 days without pay, and
he will have to prove himself to his fellow officers.
The incident was a much discussed topic on a Rivertowns

Newspaper Web site blog that prompted a response from Winberg
this week.
The deputy took responsibility for his actions and tried to set the
record straight in response to bloggers who suggested he got
special treatment.
"I spent 12 hours in the Outagamie County jail as an inmate. I was

treated like any other individual who would have committed the
same violation," he wrote.
"I do not believe that anyone in law enforcement should be given

any more consideration for infractions than any other member of
the community. I have not been given any," Winberg said.
"I have served the department and the community since 1990. I
plan to go forward admitting what I did was wrong and accepting
the penalties set forth because of my conduct. I am very apologetic
for my behavior and for the position I placed the Sheriff's
Department in. I apologize to the community as a whole and look

forward to rebuilding the trust I once had with everyone," Winberg

concluded.

Erick Lagunas' family came to court Friday morning clinging to the

slimmest of hopes.
But their 2½-year quest for justice ended in bitter tears, as the

Chicago Police officer they say killed Lagunas and his friend, Miguel
Flores, in a Thanksgiving Day 2007 drunken-driving crash walked
out of the 26th and California courthouse a free man.

crash that killed Erick Lagunas (top right) and Miguel Flores.

THE ACCIDENT
On Nov. 22, 2007, off-duty Officer John Ardelean was involved in a

traffic crash that killed Erick Lagunas, 22, and Miguel Flores, 21.
According to the police report, the 2:39 a.m. accident happened
after Lagunas' Pontiac Grand Am (1) did not yield to Ardelean's
Dodge Durango SUV (2) at the T-intersection of Oakdale and
Damen. Lagunas had a stop sign. Ardelean did not. Ardelean's SUV
broadsided the Grand Am, sending it into two parked cars on
Damen.
"It's a joke -- they say we can continue with a civil suit," said Mayra
Lagunas, 22, Erick Lagunas' cousin. "But no amount of money is
ever going to bring Erick back."
Cook County prosecutors met privately with the Lagunas family

Friday morning, gently telling them they had no choice but to drop
the aggravated drunken-driving and reckless homicide charges
against officer John Ardelean. Prosecutors said their case fell apart
after Cook County Judge Thomas Gainer Jr. threw out key evidence
against Ardelean in late April.
The Lagunas family couldn't stand to be in the courtroom when the

case was officially dismissed. The family -- knowing what was
coming -- said they couldn't bear to look at the police officer's face.
A few moments later, Ardelean -- wearing dark sunglasses and

surrounded by four beefy men in casual clothing -- walked briskly
down the courthouse steps. Reporters barked questions at him, but
he said nothing and offered no hint of his feelings.
Tom Needham, Ardelean's attorney, said his client's silence

shouldn't be mistaken for indifference.
"He's always been upset and distraught and completely

understanding of the emotion and anger on the other side of this
case," Needham said. "But he's always insisted he didn't commit a
crime that night."
Prosecutors made two attempts to prove that Ardelean did. After

the two-vehicle fatal crash Nov. 22 in Roscoe Village, Ardelean was
charged with misdemeanor DUI -- later upgraded to a felony. But
those charges were dismissed when Cook County Judge Don
Panarese ruled there was "no indication" Ardelean, who was off-
duty at the time, was drunk. Prosecutors reinstated charges after

saying they had a lengthy surveillance videotape showing Ardelean

drinking five shots and other drinks at a North Side bar shortly
before the crash.
Prosecutors also suggested in pretrial hearings that police the night

of the crash turned a blind eye to Ardelean's intoxication. Among
other things, he wasn't arrested or given a Breathalyzer until seven
hours after the crash. But Gainer ruled in April that the supervising
officer who ultimately made the arrest didn't have strong enough
evidence to do so. Gainer's ruling also suppressed key blood-alcohol
evidence.
That ruling sparked a furious reaction, resulting in the arrest of

three of Flores' relatives after they scuffled with sheriff's deputies.
Flores' relatives didn't show up Friday. Lagunas' family said that's

because the Flores family knew how the case would end.
In a written statement, prosecutors said they'd done "extensive and

in-depth" research but found there weren't sufficient grounds to
appeal Gainer's ruling or continue with the case.
Ardelean is currently on administrative leave and has been relieved

of his police powers, pending the outcome of an internal affairs
investigation, the Chicago Police Department said in a statement.

I realize that criminals who are members of large organized crime

syndicates like the Fat Blue Line Gang are usually afraid to go out in
public without their clever disguises on, but we should ask if any
Copwatch member can contribute a real mug shot of A$$wipe John
Ardelean so that the public can be forewarned that he is a drunken
homocidal maniac.

WEST ALLIS, Wis - West Allis Police released a squad car video
showing an off-duty Milwaukee Police officer being arrested for
drunk driving.
The incident happened on January 11, 2010. Milwaukee Police

Officer Matthew Truman was arrested for his second OWI offense
after West Allis Police pulled him over along South 84th Street.
According to a filing at the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission,

Truman "stated he started drinking at 4:00 p.m. and consumed up

to fifteen beers. He admitted he was under the influence of an
intoxicant and not fit for duty." West Allis Police reports show
he blew a 0.25 blood alcohol concentration.
The West Allis squad car video shows Truman making a wide turn
off of South 84th Street into the parking lot of Johnny V's Classic
Cafe. The turn is so wide on the video that Truman's car hits a
patch of snow and becomes momentarily stuck.
After Truman parks his vehicle, he is seen on the video

stumbling as officers search him. He is also seen attempting
to make a cell phone call while officers are holding on to him.
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn suspended Truman for

35 days. Typically, Truman is assigned to Police District 7.
Truman did not answer the door Tuesday at his west-side home. His
attorney, Paul Bucher, declined to comment.
Inside Johnny V's Classic Cafe, people said they were glad no one
was hurt. " You should not drink and drive and you’re putting a lot
of people’s lives in danger," said Kathy Vassallo.

Two Milwaukee police officers accused of driving drunk while

off duty have been suspended, according to city documents.
The city's Fire and Police Commission was informed formally of the
discipline at its meeting Thursday.
Officer Matthew J. Truman, 30, was arrested Jan. 11 by West

Allis police after he was pulled over at S. 84th St. and W. National
Ave., according to a complaint filed with the commission.
A breath test measured Truman's blood-alcohol level at 0.25, more

than three times the level of 0.08 considered evidence of
intoxication in Wisconsin, the complaint says.
Truman told police he drank up to 15 beers before he was arrested,

according to the complaint.

He was suspended 35 working days without pay by Police Chief

Edward A. Flynn, according to department documents.
Truman is expected to plead guilty in June to second-offense

operating while intoxicated, said his lawyer, Paul Bucher.
Officer Jose M. Luna was suspended 40 working days without pay

in connection with a Feb. 5 incident in which he was arrested and
ticketed by Bayside police with first-offense operating while
intoxicated, according to Bayside police and a complaint filed with
the commission.
Luna had called in sick that day but later left his home to go to a
restaurant without getting permission from a supervisor as required
by department rules, according to the complaint.
Luna was pulled over in the 8900 block of N. Port Washington Road
and was arrested after he could not complete field sobriety tests,
the complaint says.
Luna told the arresting officer he was drunk, and a breath test
measured his blood-alcohol level at 0.30, according to the
complaint. Luna told investigators he had drunk 15 beers before he
was arrested, the complaint says.

MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee Police officer, busted for a second drunk

driving offense, will head to a jail cell for 90 days as part of a plea
deal.
Matthew Truman received the sentence as part of a plea-sentencing

hearing after being busted for driving drunk in January.
TODAY'S TMJ4 HD's Jay Olstad reports from the courtroom that the
judge called Truman's actions disappointing, and 90 days was more
than the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office wanted.
Truman was suspended without pay after an incident where West

Allis Police pulled Truman over in January.
According to West Allis Police records, the Milwaukee Police officer

said he drank up to 15 beers and had a .25 blood alcohol level,
three times the legal limit.
It was his second arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.
When West Allis Police started following Truman, he turned into the
parking lot of Johnny V's Cafe, getting stuck in the snow bank.
People at Johnny V's were glad that's all he hit.
"You should not drink and drive, and you're putting a lot of people's
lives in danger," said Kathy Vassalo of Johnny V's.

BISHOPVILLE — Lee County residents said they were shocked by

news of former Lee County sheriff E.J. Melvin’s arrest during the
weekend.
Melvin, who had served as sheriff since 2001, and eight

others were arrested Saturday and charged with conspiracy

to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of

powder cocaine and 50 grams or more of crack cocaine since
2006.
Many Lee County residents said they heard about the the arrests
the day they happened, and word spread fast.
“Bishopville’s a small town and rumors spread quickly, rumors and

news spread quickly,” said Rachael Bradshaw, who has lived the
Lee County town for the past 15 years.
Lee County resident Frank Yates also said the sheriff’s arrest was
the talk of the town.
“Well, I was shocked to hear that news, but sometimes things

happen that you don’t really understand,” he said.
Yates said he and other residents found it hard to believe their

sheriff faced federal drug charges.
Bradshaw said she is still finding it hard to comprehend.
“I was shocked, I’m still shocked ... I really don’t know what to
think,” she said.
Some residents said the fact that a law enforcement officer

is accused of being on the wrong side of the law affected
their ability to trust those who are supposed to be protecting
them.
Many other residents, though, said they will not hold an entire
group of officers responsible for allegations of wrongdoing by one.
“All law enforcement aren’t bad,” Yates said. “You run into one or
two that are bad, but I’m not going against none of the rest of them
on the sake of what happened.”
Though many of the residents said they feel the former sheriff’s
arrest was a huge blow to the county’s image, they are hoping for
better news on the horizon.
“I just hope everything turns out for the best,” Bradshaw said.
“I hope everything will go along good and get back to normal,”

Yates said.
Melvin resigned as sheriff Saturday after his arrest. Gov. Mark

Sanford will appoint an interim sheriff to serve in Melvin’s absence.

FBI: Ex-SC sheriff dealt drugs from police SUV

Posts: 31403 COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina sheriff dealt drugs from his
police SUV and when state and federal agents gave him a list of
possible drug dealers in his county, he immediately started calling
to tip them off or extort money to get them off the list, according to
the FBI.
The FBI tapped then-Lee County Sheriff E.J. Melvin's phone starting
in March, and caught him saying he was going to arrange for a
traffic stop on a drug dealer, take some of the cocaine he expected
to find for himself and use the rest as evidence, according to a
sworn statement from an FBI agent released Monday.
Melvin was arrested Saturday and remained in jail Monday after a

preliminary hearing. Melvin resigned his office the day he was
arrested. A spokesman said Gov. Mark Sanford will appoint an
interim sheriff.
Melvin and six others were charged with conspiracy to possess with
intent to distribute five kilograms or more of powder cocaine and 50
grams or more of crack cocaine. If convicted, the former sheriff
faces a mandatory 10 years in prison and could face up to life
behind bars.
Melvin's friends and family helped pack the courtroom Monday. He

briefly acknowledged them as he shuffled in with his ankles and
wrists shackled after a weekend in jail. But he spent most of the
hearing with his eyes closed and his head titled back.

His family was stunned by Saturday's arrest, but said they are
confident he will be found innocent.
"I don't believe for one second that he did those things," Melvin's
brother Edward said.
The FBI agent detailed 17 phone calls between Melvin, other

defendants and unnamed people who dealt drugs or helped with the
investigation. Some of the people referred to Melvin by a nickname:
"Big Dog."
In one conversation, the agent said Melvin relayed a threat he

planned to make to someone he was trying to extort. "I ain't going
to let you take me down," the ex-sheriff said according to the
affidavit.
A witness told the agent about a conversation he had with a

longtime drug dealer in Lee County, who told him, "If it wasn't for E.
J., I wouldn't be doing the things that I do," according to the sworn
statement. The same witness told investigators he saw Melvin deal
cocaine from his sheriff's office SUV in November 2006.
The FBI agent also detailed a meeting between Melvin and a State
Law Enforcement Division agent in April after the investigation
against the sheriff had started. The agent shared a list of possible
drug dealers and after he left, Melvin began tipping off his friends
on the list and making plans to get money from others in exchange
for steering agents away, according to court papers.
U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles said it doesn't appear the conspiracy to

sell drugs and protect dealers goes much beyond Melvin.
Bishopville in Lee County is about 50 miles east of Columbia.

COLUMBIA – Lee County Sheriff Edgar Jerome “EJ” Melvin, 47,

of Bishopville was one of seven people arrested by state and
federal authorities as part of a drug sting Saturday morning,
according to a release from the US Attorney’s office.
Melvin has served as the Sheriff for Lee County, South Carolina,
since 2001.
Also arrested Saturday morning in connection with the case were

Brenda LaShawn Ellerby, 26; Antonio Holloman, 23; Larry Williams,
51; Eric Andre Hickman, 34; Anthony Lee Williams, 37, and Sheldon
Maurice Bradley, 24, all of Bishopville, according to the release.
Melvin and the others arrested Saturday are charged in federal

warrants with conspiracy since 2006 to possess with intent to
distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and 50 grams or more
of crack in South Carolina, in violation of Title 18, United States
Code, Section 846, according to the release.
The federal arrest warrants were issued earlier this week under
seal, and the complaints and supporting affidavits leading to the
arrest warrants were filed under seal and will remain sealed until
the defendants make an initial appearance in federal court in
Columbia on Monday, according to the release.
Because the matter is sealed, no further information concerning the

case will be made available until the seal is lifted in court, according
to the release.
The maximum penalty each defendant could receive is life

imprisonment and a fine of $4 million. Federal statutes also call for
mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment for at least ten years.
“The law-abiding people of Lee County expect their Sheriff to

likewise observe and uphold the law. When he fails to do that, and
indeed commits crimes as we have alleged in this case, the citizens
are his victims. Lee County taxpayers certainly don’t deserve
corrupt law enforcement in exchange for their tax dollars,” acting

United States Attorney Kevin F. McDonald said in the release.
“The vast majority of public officials – both elected and appointed –

are honest in their work and committed to serving their fellow
citizens. Unfortunately, a small percentage abuse the public trust.
Public corruption is different from other crimes. It does not just
strike at the heart of good government – it can strike at the
security of our communities and our nation. Public corruption
erodes public confidence, and undermines the strength of our
democracy,” FBI Special Agent in Charge David Tomas said in the
release.
“When a law enforcement officer uses his official position to

advance a criminal purpose, his community suffers. We must act
swiftly and decisively to remove corrupt officers, and restore the
public’s faith in law enforcement. SLED is committed to working
with our federal partners to root out public corruption at all levels,
but particularly in law enforcement,” SLED Director Reggie Lloyd
said in the release.
McDonald said additional arrests are expected in the case, which

was investigated by the FBI and SLED.
Assistance on the Saturday morning arrests was provided by the

Florence County Sheriff’s Department, according to the release.
McDonald has assigned the case to Assistant United States

Attorneys J.D. Rowell, Mark C. Moore, and Debbie Barbier of the
Columbia office for prosecution.
The Acting United States Attorney emphasized that all charges are
merely accusations and that all defendants are presumed innocent
until and unless proven guilty, according to the release.

It did not take long on Saturday for E.J. Melvin's arrest on federal
drug charges to become the talk of Lee County.
Expressions being tossed around ran the gamut of emotions: shock,

surprise, disappointment, anger, relief and disbelief.
"I didn't see it coming," Han**** said. "I've heard the rumors.
They've been out there for years. But I didn't believe them. Since I
was saved nine years ago, I have lived my life looking for the good
in everybody. And I've gotten to know Sheriff Melvin. And I saw the
good in him. I guess now the word that describes best how I feel is
hurt. And I really feel bad for his wife and children."

Han**** said he will continue to keep a positive outlook.
"I still believe that most of our public officials are good people who
obey the law," he said. "I just don't believe people who are saying
that everybody in Lee County government is corrupt."
Ronnie "RaRa" Bracey of Bishopville, who is a professional

comedian, said he is not surprised by the turn of events.
"I have heard and seen too many things, and that's why I joke
about him onstage about drugs," Bracey said. "Yes, I think the
charges are fair because he is not above the law because he
represents it."
Bracey said the people he talked to during the weekend are telling
him that it is time for Melvin to be held accountable for his actions.
Kathy Rollins of Bishopville said she was relieved that Melvin has
been arrested.
"It's been rumored for years that he was on the take," she said. "I
am surprised that it (arrest) finally happened. The sad thing is that
if an election was held tomorrow and the fine citizens of Lee County
were to vote, my guess is they would elect him all over again."
Lee County resident Janice Atkinson said Melvin's arrest is

disturbing to parents.
"We as parents try to keep our kids out of drugs, and our law
enforcement is selling it to them," Atkinson said. "You can't trust
people any more."
Robbie White of Bishopville cautions against a rush to judgment

against Melvin.
"I am not saying E.J. is innocent, but he deserves to have his

chance before we all pass judgment," White said. "He has always
been a good friend to my family. I, for one, will give him the benefit
of the doubt until proven otherwise."
None of the six other people arrested on Saturday were law

enforcement officers or public officials. However, authorities said
that additional arrests could be expected in the matter. That leaves
many people in the community wondering if any of those will
include any of Melvin's deputies or investigators.
"It's possible they are involved too, but I am not going to judge
them for Melvin's actions," Bracey said.
State investigators have indicated that no other Lee sheriff's

officers will be charged in the case.
Rosalie Logan Hyatt of Ashwood said people should not assume that
the entire sheriff's office is guilty by association.

"You can't blame the whole department," Hyatt said. "There are
some good deputies in the Lee County sheriff's department. Even if
they knew, they couldn't exactly arrest the boss."
Some people are saying, however, that they would have trouble
trusting anyone with connections to Melvin.
"I think there has to be more in the department that at least knew
what was going on," White said. "How good can our detectives be if
they couldn't see this happening? Or did they? If they were
covering for him or knew about it, they are just as guilty."
The Rev. Ryan Riley of Savannah Advent Christian Church said he

would like to see Maj. Daniel Simon appointed interim sheriff.
"I would love to see Maj. Simon promoted for several reasons,"
Riley said. "However the main reason is that this man is constantly
out there involving himself with the whole county, not just those
that are willing to support him. Maj. Simon seems to run a tight
ship, and I have never heard a bad or angry word towards him or
from him. I feel that he is a man of integrity who has never given
me a reason to doubt him, and he just doesn't seem to be keeping
a low profile in a high profile position. And that really puts me at
ease."
Tyrell Catoe, 28, of Bishopville, announced in February his plans to

seek the office in 2012.
Catoe, who is currently an officer with the Camden Police

Department, said he believes the interim sheriff should be someone
outside the sheriff's office.
"I would like to be the next sheriff," Catoe said.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Former Lee County Sheriff E.J. Melvin

entered a plea of not guilty on federal drug charges.
Melvin appeared Wednesday at the Matthew J. Perry federal

courthouse for a hearing.
He has until June 22 to file additional motions in the case. Melvin is

currently free on $200,000 bond.
"I'm not guilty of anything," Melvin told reporters who asked him
questions as he left the hearing. Melvin said he couldn't say
anything further.
Melvin was arrested in the early morning hours of May 1, along with
several other suspects.
In a previous hearing, the FBI told a judge that wiretaps showed

that Melvin had interacted with drug dealers for years. Investigators
determined that Melvin was involved in a conspiracy to distribute
cocaine, and was protecting local drug dealers in exchange for
money.
After Melvin was arrested, the FBI said he tried to say that some of
the drug suspects were his informants, and that he couldn't give
them their personal cell phone numbers.
Prosecutors say they found other illegal activity, including illegal

use of food stamp cards and protecting people who had written bad
checks. They also say he had stolen items on his property, and was
protecting people who had stolen items.
Melvin resigned shortly after his arrest. A special election will take
place August 31 to replace him.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - A judge has set bond at $200,000 for

former Lee County Sheriff E.J. Melvin, who's facing federal drug
charges.
Melvin, 47, was at the courthouse for a detention hearing, where

prosecutors tried to explain why they feel he should remain behind
bars until his trial.
In the end, however, the judge in the case felt Melvin was not a
flight risk. If Melvin pays the bond, he would also be on house
arrest, and would wear a monitoring device.
Prosecutors spent much of the afternoon laying out their evidence

against Melvin, all of which is included in an affidavit.
FBI Special Agent Chris Garrett told the judge that the wiretap
investigation into Melvin began in 2009, and that the State Law
Enforcement Division has been assisting in the probe.
Garrett says they were wiretapping two suspected drug dealers,

and those taps led them to take a look into Melvin's activities. At
times during those wiretaps, Melvin is referred to as "Big Dog."
After 30 days of wiretaps, investigators determined that Melvin was

involved in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine, and was protecting
local drug dealers in exchange for money.
Garrett said that much of that money came to Melvin through

campaign contributions by the drug dealers. He also said that
Melvin was essentially on the payroll for drug dealers as protection.

Agents then were able to find cooperative witnesses who said they
feared Melvin. In the affidavit Melvin is quoted as saying, "I don't
trust you because you are a weak link. You try call my name,
anything, I swear they are going to find you because I ain't going to
let you take me down."
Investigators eventually confronted Melvin with a list of drug

dealers that agents say he was in business with. After that meeting,
agents say Melvin tipped off drug dealers to the investigation in an
effort to get more money from them.
Investigators say Melvin acted as if he did not regularly talk to the

people on the list, which they say was a lie.
Garrett says Melvin also tried to steer investigators away from

some suspects, telling them that one of them was a "minor drug
dealer," which they say was false.
Garrett says after Melvin was arrested, he tried to say that some of
the drug suspects were his informants, and that he couldn't give
them their personal cell phone numbers.
Prosecutors say they found other illegal activity, including illegal

use of food stamp cards and protecting people who had written bad
checks. They also say he had stolen items on his property, and was
protecting people who had stolen items.
Melvin resigned shortly after his arrest. A special election will take
place August 31 to replace him.

Deadly Ex-Cop Ran Grow House: Police

47 marijuana plants found in home of Adam Tavss, former Miami
Beach cop

The Miami Beach police officer involved in two fatal shootings in a

matter of four days last June was arrested Monday after police said
he ran a massive marijuana lab out of his Miami-Dade home.
Adam Tavss, 35, was busted at his home on the 14000 block
of Southwest 94th Circle Lane, where cops found 47 plants

worth about $50,000, according to Miami-Dade Police.
Police said they had received a CrimeStoppers tip alerting them to

the grow house being run by the former officer.
Tavss was released on bond shortly after his arrest.
Tavss resigned from the force last November after he failed a drug
test that found pot in his system. It wasn't the first time that the
troubled cop had been accused of dabbling in drugs. He was also
reportedly investigated for cocaine use in 2007 after another officer
accused him of using the drug.
The real trouble for Tavss came last June, when he Tavss shot and
killed Husien Shehada, a 29-year-old tourist from Virginia who was
walking with his brother on Collins Avenue around 4 a.m.
Tavss confronted Shehada and his brother Samer outside club Twist
in the June 14 incident, believing they had a weapon, according to
police. However no weapons were recovered after the fatal shooting.
Just four days later, on June 18, Tavss was back on duty when he
was involved in the shooting death of Lawrence McCoy, a suspected
carjacker.

SW Miami-Dade (CBS4) ― Growing season never seems to end in

South Florida, especially when you're growing inside of a home with
the full benefits of science on your side. Miami-Dade police found
that out Monday, after a tip led them to a Southwest Miami-Dade
apartment where the owner, a former police officer, apparently took
on a few dozen marijuana plants as roommates.
Police arrested 35-year-old Adam Tavss after a tip to Miami-Dade

Crimestoppers led them to a marijuana grow-house that was
actually inside of an apartment.
When they used a search warrant to get inside apartment 101 at

14285 SW 94th Circle Monday, what they found was a secret
hydroponics lab and a complete setup to grow marijuana.

The set-up apparently was productive. Miami-Dade detectives say

they found 47 plants inside the apartment, with an estimated street
value of $50 thousand.
The hydroponics setup was shut down and seized, along with the
marijuana. Tavvs was taken into custody on charges of growing
marijuana with an intent to sell.
Tavvs had been relieved of duty in September 2009 after he tested

positive for marijuana. He formally resigned in November 2009,
according to Miami-Beach Police. Tavvs was involved in two police
shootings in June 2009. The first shoowting Tavvs was involved in
took place June 14 when Husein Shehada was shot and killed
outside Twist nightclub on Miami Beach.
On June 18, Tavvs was involved in the shooting death of Lawrence

McCoy, an alleged robber who carjacked a taxicab and then was
involved in a head-on collision on the MacArthur Causeway.
Between 20 and 40 shots were fired during the incident.

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police have arrested a
former Miami Beach Police Officer for having a marijuana
hydroponic plant inside his South Florida apartment.

Adam Tavss posted $10,000 to bond put of jail, at 3 a.m.

Tuesday. He stands charged with possession of a controlled
substance and selling marijuana.
Around 4:30 p.m. Monday, a Crime Stoppers tip lead narcotics

detectives to the former officer's apartment complex. Upon arrival,
investigators searched and seized a fully operational marijuana lab
with 47 marijuana plants. Investigators estimate the street value of
the plants at approximately $50,000.
Police are now investigating the incident.
The is not the first time, however, Tavss has been in the news.
Back in 2009, Tavss was involved in two unrelated police-involved

shootings on Miami Beach, in the same week. On June 19, Tavss
and another officer were involved in the fatal shooting of a man
accused of carjacking a taxi. Days before, on June 14, he was
involved in the shooting death of a 29-year-old tourist from
Virginia, though it remains unclear whether he fired his weapon.
He was relieved of duty in August 18, 2009 for a personnel matter

unrelated to the police-involved shootings.

was arrested Tuesday after police found dozens of marijuana plants
growing in his apartment has been released on $10 thousand bail.
Adam Tavss, 25, was arrested after a tip to Miami-Dade

Crimestoppers led police to the ex-cop's Southwest Miami-Dade
residence.
Inside the apartment at 101 at 14285 SW 94th Circle Monday

officers found hydroponics set up used to grow 47 pot plants.
Neighbors said they were surprised at the news of Tavss secret

grow house, but admitted they hardly ever saw him.
"I think that is why nobody thought nothing of anything you know
because he was a cop and we always saw his cop car before, it's
been a while since I've seen it but I never thought anything of it,"
said neighbor Andre Volpato. "I never thought he was doing
anything illegal inside the house."
One thing most in the apartment building found strange was Tavss
always kept his hurricane shutters closed over his apartment's
windows.
"I've only lived here a year but the person who owns the property
that rents a room to me said she's lived here five years and we
used to joke around that he was either was doing some type of
drug thing in there or he was a narcotics agent," said Marika Bristol
Tavss was involved in two a pair of high profile police shootings in

June 2009. The first took place on June 14 when Husein Shehada
was shot and killed outside Twist nightclub on Miami Beach.
On June 18, Tavss was involved in the shooting death of Lawrence

McCoy, an alleged robber who carjacked a taxicab and then was
involved in a head-on collision on the MacArthur Causeway.
Between 20 and 40 shots were fired during the incident.
Samir Shehada, the brother of shooting victim Husein Shehada,

spoke with CBS4's Gary Nelson from his home in Virginia. He said
that the officer's arrest supports prior allegations of drug use. "It's
like it wasn't even a police officer, it's like some sort of thug with a
badge shot my brother," Shehada said.
Tavss was relieved of duty in September 2009 after he tested

positive for marijuana. He formally resigned in November 2009.

The driver of a Colorado State Patrol car was pulled over and
handcuffed this morning, but officials have released few details
about the incident.
SKY9 flew above the area of westbound C-470 and Santa Fe just
after 7 a.m. where the patrol car was stopped by Douglas County

Sheriff's deputies.
SKY9 video shows a state trooper being taken out of the patrol car
and walked by deputies to the deputies' vehicle where he was
handcuffed and put in the back of the vehicle.
A CSP spokesperson says motorists complained about the "erratic

driving" of the patrol car but the spokesperson deferred to the
sheriff's office for additional information.
A sheriff's office spokesperson says the complaints of erratic driving

came from drivers on northbound I-25 near Castle Rock. The
spokesperson says CSP was notified but requested that deputies
check the wellbeing of the trooper.
Deputies spotted the trooper on westbound C-470 near Santa Fe an

pulled him over where he was taken into custody.
The spokesperson says the sheriff's office is investigating what led

to his erratic driving. CSP has asked the sheriff's office to be the
lead in the investigation. The sheriff's office says it has no reason
not to believe the man is a Colorado State Trooper.

GC Marciano State trooper arrested on DUI charges in Douglas Co.

A Colorado State Patrol trooper, in uniform and driving a

marked patrol car, was pulled over this morning by sheriff's
deputies and arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving.
Location: Chicago, Illinois The incident happened at about 7 a.m. after the Douglas
Posts: 9967 County Sheriff's Office received "multiple calls" reporting that a
state patrol car was "driving erratically" on northbound I-25
near Castle Rock, the sheriff's office said in a media release.
The trooper has been identified as 21-year-veteran David

Dolan, assigned to a unit in Colorado Springs.
Response to the calls this morning was transferred to the State

Patrol because it was on the interstate and involved a State
Patrol cruiser.
But a short time later the State Patrol called sheriff's

dispatchers "asking for our assistance in locating the vehicle
and checking on the welfare of the driver," according to a media
release from the sheriff's office.
"Around 7:05 a.m., a Douglas County deputy spotted the

vehicle on westbound C-470 at Santa Fe and was able to pull
the vehicle over at Platte Canyon and C-470," the release said.
"After contacting the driver, who was confirmed to be a
Colorado State Trooper in full uniform, he was taken into
custody for investigation of driving under the influence of
alcohol."
Dolan, 48, was handcuffed and taken to the Douglas County Jail
where he was booked on suspicion of DUI, DUI per se, and
prohibited use of weapons.
He has been placed on unpaid administrative leave by the patrol

as the incident is investigated by the sheriff's office. The state
patrol is conducting a concurrent investigation as well.
"While any violation of law is serious, this alleged act is very

concerning given the nature of the mission of the Colorado
State Patrol," Col. James Wolfinbarger, chief of the CSP, said in
a statement. "We have a 75-year history of combating impaired
and drunken driving and are deeply committed to eradicating
this senseless crime on our roads."

Colorado state trooper who was arrested on suspicion of drunken
driving while on duty is free on $1,000 bail.

commenting Tuesday. It's not clear whether he has an attorney.
The district attorney's spokeswoman declined to comment.

David Dolan (THE DENVER POST | )The state trooper arrested in a

patrol car on suspicion of drinking while on the job had a blood
alcohol level of 0.194 percent, according to arrest records. That is
more than twice the level at which Colorado considers a driver
impaired.
Douglas County sheriff's deputies arrested David Dolan, 48, after

pulling him over at South Platte Canyon Road and C-470 about 7 a.
m. Monday, shortly after a deputy spotted his car on C-470 at
South Santa Fe Drive.
The deputy who pulled Dolan over said he could "smell the odor of
an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the state patrol vehicle,"
according to arrest papers obtained Friday by 9News.
After his arrest, Dolan was taken to a sheriff's office substation,

where he agreed to take a "walk and turn" test that helps officers
determine whether someone is intoxicated.
"He was not able to keep his balance and stepped off the line two
times," the arresting officer wrote.
Dolan then chose to take a breath test and blew a 0.194 percent, a
level more than double the 0.08 percent at which Colorado
presumes a driver is impaired.
A spokesperson for the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said county

dispatchers received multiple calls from people reporting that a
marked Colorado State Patrol vehicle was driving erratically in the
northbound lanes of Interstate 25 near Castle Rock.
Dolan was in full uniform at the time of his arrest.
He faces charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving

with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or more and prohibited
use of weapons.
A woman who said she is a relative of Dolan's said earlier this week
that he is in a treatment facility and that he entered treatment after

bonding out of jail Monday.
"He's a good man that's having a bad time," said the relative, who
asked that she not be identified.
The relative also said Dolan previously spent 2 1/2 days in a

treatment facility. It was not clear when he went into treatment or
why he left after a short period of time.
The patrol has placed Dolan on unpaid administrative leave.
A court hearing is scheduled for Monday, but a judge said Dolan

does not have to appear.

ROCK, Colo.—A judge says a Colorado state trooper accused of

driving drunk in his patrol car is getting inpatient treatment.
Forty-eight-year-old David Dolan is charged with driving under the
influence and is on unpaid leave. He is free on $1,000 bail. He was
due in court Monday, but the judge granted a 30-day postponement
at the request of Dolan's lawyer, Michael Moran.
Moran has said the trooper suffers from post-traumatic stress

disorder caused by his work on the Colorado State Patrol fatalities
unit.
Moran said last month that Dolan was being treated at a mental
health and substance abuse facility.
Dolan was arrested March 22 after several drivers called 911 to

report a patrol car was being driven erratically.

Deputies arrest an off-duty Black River Falls Police Officer for

disorderly conduct.
The Jackson County Sheriff says deputies arrested an off duty

Black River Falls police officer for disorderly conduct.
The sheriff says deputies arrested Roger Nielsen.
Investigators say Wednesday night someone called 911 saying he

was causing a disturbance at a convenience store.
The caller told deputies Nielsen was intoxicated, using profanity and
was in a physical confrontation with someone in the store.
Nielsen was booked and later released on a signature bond

from the Jackson County Jail.
We could not reach Nielsen for comment. The police chief tells
WEAU 13 News one of his officers is on administrative leave.
Here's the full statement from Sheriff Duane Waldera:
On May 12, 2010, at about 7:47 p.m., the Jackson County Sheriff’s
Office dispatch center received a 911 call from a citizen requesting
assistance from law enforcement reporting that a off-duty Black
River Falls city police officer was creating a disturbance at the
Alwood’s Convenience store, located in the City of Black River Falls.
The caller indicated that the officer was intoxicated, using profanity,
and allegedly involved in a physical confrontation with another store
patron.
Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the location

and made contact with the off-duty officer and citizen witnesses.
The off-duty officer was identified as being Roger Nielsen. An initial
investigation was conducted; witnesses were interviewed, and
statements were obtained. Nielsen was subsequently arrested for a
State misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and transported to
the Jackson County Jail. Nielsen was booked and later released
from the jail on a signature bond.
Based on Nielsen’s employment as a law enforcement officer, the

Jackson County Sheriff’s Office has requested the Wisconsin
Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to assist with further
investigation of this incident. This case remains under investigation
at this time.

So, because he is a city cop, the state needs to investigate? Does

anyone know if this is required for ALL cops who commit a crime?
Because there has been no word of whether ocifer Thorton in

Notice that he was able to bond out on a signature bond too. He is
drunk and attacks another person, yet he is allowed out on a
signature bond.

Off-Duty Cop Arrested After Disturbance At Bar

Location: WHEATLAND, Calif. (CBS13) ― A local police officer who was
Posts: 31403
arrested by fellow officers Saturday night after a reported bar fight
says he did nothing wrong and was only acting in self defense.
In an exclusive interview with CBS13, Wheatland Police Officer

John Murray said he was drinking at Bill's Place, a local bar, when
he was approached by several men.
"I went down to the bar, had a couple of beers," Murray said,
describing two other men in the bar as "obviously gangbangers."

Murray, who has been on medical leave from the department

since December, said he tried to ask the men to leave after
they allegedly started offering him prostitutes and drugs,
but was attacked for his troubles.
"He takes me down… I go down on my back and I start punching

him in the face, the other guy takes off out there," he said.
Murray said he called police and walked outside and doesn't

remember what happened next.
"I think somebody hit me in the head, my chief thinks I fell and hit
the back of my head," Murray said. "When I woke up, I was in the
police department."
Wheatland police officers had arrested the 10-year veteran for

public drunkenness on accusations he started the brawl.
In a statement to CBS13, the Wheatland Police Chief Mike

McCrary said he believes Murray fell and hurt himself, and
made no mention of a fight with any alleged drug dealer
suspects.
Murray said he's disappointed his fellow officers don't seem to

believe him.
"I'm pretty upset I ended up in the hospital and then I ended up in

jail," he said, "but what can I do?"
McCrary said Murray will be placed on paid administrative leave

pending the outcome of the investigation.
Officer John Murray said he was defending himself after he

was attacked.

An off-duty Wheatland police officer was arrested early Sunday

morning in Wheatland after police responded to reports of a fight at
a bar.
John Murray, 38, of the 200 block of Olive Street, Wheatland,

was arrested at 1 a.m. Sunday by the Wheatland Police Department
at Bill's Place on the 400 block of Fourth Street in Wheatland. He
was arrested on suspicion of a misdemeanor charge of public
intoxication.
Wheatland Police Chief Mike McCrary said police received a call

about a half hour earlier of a brawl inside the bar involving a man
later identified as Murray and two Latino men.
McCrary said Murray said after his arrest the men tried to sell him
drugs, and he then began to fight with them first inside and later
outside the bar.
When police arrived, McCrary said, only Murray was still at

the bar and was detained, with a blood-alcohol content level
of .36. McCrary said Murray was not on duty and has been on
medical leave from the police department since December.
Murray was booked into Yuba County Jail and released at 8 a.m.
Sunday. McCrary said the department has begun an internal
investigation of Murray's status.
Police are also still looking for the two men who fought with Murray,
though they have not been identified, McCrary said.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. -- A Colorado state trooper was arrested
Monday on suspicion of driving drunk in uniform while he was
behind the wheel of a marked patrol car and carrying a gun,
authorities said.

David Nolan, 48, was arrested by Douglas County deputies about 7

a.m. on Colorado 470, a beltway around southwest Denver, the
Sheriff's Department said.
He was being booked on charges of driving under the influence and

prohibited use of weapons.
Colorado law makes it illegal for anyone to have a firearm while

intoxicated, sheriff's Sgt. Jeff Egnor said.
State Patrol spokesman Ryan Sullivan said the agency would have a
statement later in the day. It was unclear whether Nolan was on
duty at the time of the arrest.
The arrest was made after several people reported a State Patrol
car driving erratically on northbound Interstate 25 near Castle
Rock, about 25 miles south of Denver.
Sheriff's dispatchers transferred the calls to the State Patrol, and a

few minutes later the patrol asked the Sheriff's Department to help
locate the car and check on the driver.

Off-duty cop drunk in fatal crash

By: Brent Begin
Examiner Staff Writer
February 7, 2010
http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/Off...l#ixzz0eroL0SRg
Location: SAN FRANCISCO — An off-duty officer with the UC San Francisco
Posts: 4804 Police Department had a blood-alcohol content nearly three times
the legal limit when he crashed his Dodge Magnum in October,
killing himself and severely injuring a passenger.
Edson Veloro, 32, had a blood alcohol content of 0.23 percent,

according to a toxicology report in an autopsy performed by the

Medical Examiner’s Office. California’s legal limit for driving is 0.08
percent.
Veloro died after his white Dodge Magnum swerved from

southbound Interstate 280 onto an offramp to John Daly Boulevard
at a high rate of speed, lost control and left the roadway at about
12:15 a.m., California Highway Patrol spokesman Shawn Chase
said.
There were several reports of the vehicle driving recklessly on the

highway, at speeds from 90 mph to 100 mph, before the crash.
“The combination of driving too fast and driving under the influence
contributed to this tragedy occurring,” Chase said.
A UCSF police dispatcher, Art Dragon, then 39, was also in the car
and is recovering from his injuries. The CHP said that neither man
was wearing a seatbelt.
Veloro and Dragon were thrown 30 feet from the car in opposite
directions after it left the road and went airborne, hit a tree, landed
on a parked car and then rolled off onto the street below in the
Oceanview neighborhood, according to the autopsy.
Veloro joined the UCSF Police Department in 2002 after two years
as a member of the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Office. He
served as a patrol officer and police detective and was honored as
the 2008 UCSF Police Department Employee of the Year, the
investigators said.

Former Officer of the Year sentenced

The former Yuma police officer convicted of stealing cash from
evidence storage to support an addiction to prescription drugs has
been sentenced to three years and four months in prison.
The sentence for Geoffrey Michael Presco was handed down Friday

afternoon in Yuma County Superior Court by Judge Larry

Kenworthy, who also gave the former cop credit for 12 days served
and ordered he pay nearly $6,000 in restitution.
Presco stole nearly $11,000 from evidence storage at the police

department.
"I'm going to have to live with this mistake for the rest of my life,
no matter what the decision is," Presco said while addressing the
court shortly before sentencing.
Presco also offered apologies to his family, the court and

prosecution, the Yuma Police Department and to the community.
Judge Kenworthy called the case difficult from a sentencing

standpoint, saying both sides had presented valid arguments for the
punishment they were requesting.
"In this case, the court views that a prison sentence is necessary
for public condemnation," Kenworthy said.
Prior to Presco being taken into custody, his attorney asked if the
court would delay the imposition of the sentence and allow him to
turn himself in voluntarily in approximately six weeks. The attorney
explained that Presco's wife is eight months pregnant and he
wanted to be present for the child's birth and make preparations to
move his family back to Ohio.
Kenworthy said the court would consider the request at a

sentencing hearing, which he scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 27,
but ordered that Presco be taken into custody until then.
Presco was arrested in June 2009 on suspicion of one count of theft

for allegedly taking the money, which was evidence from a case he
was handling.
He later confessed to spending the money to support his drug habit,

saying he was addicted to the prescription drug Oxycontin. He had
been taking the drug for a knee injury.
Presco eventually pleaded guilty to one count of fraudulent schemes

and artifices in an Oct. 2009 plea agreement, with prosecutors
dismissing four other theft and drug charges.
Under the terms of that plea agreement, Presco could have been
sentenced to 12-1/2 years in prison.
The YPD officially terminated Presco back in June 2009. In his

rookie year on the force, Presco was selected as YPD's 2008 Patrol
Officer of the Year.
Prior to sentencing Prosecutor Roger Nelson asked the judge to

impose a prison sentence, saying the crimes Presco committed
substantially eroded the public trust bestowed upon law
enforcement and has harmed the administration of the justice.

"As a police officer Presco was a public servant and he committed

the crimes over the course of his duty, which violated the trust the
community places in the police department," Nelson said. "It
doesn't take long for that trust to erode when a police officer does
something like this."
Nelson added that the county attorney's office had to dismiss 12

cases as a result of Presco's crimes and may lose some additional
cases on appeal in which the defendants have already been
convicted.
Kenworthy said he considered many aggravating and mitigating

factors in issuing his sentence. Among the aggravating factors were
Presco's status as a public servant at the time, the damage the case
caused to the administration of the justice system and the fact he
committed the crimes during the course of his duty.
Among the mitigating factors, Kenworthy said he took into

consideration that Presco had no criminal history prior to this
conviction and that his family would suffer extreme hardship, he
had an addiction to pain killers, and that he was impaired at the
time he committed the crime.
Sometime late in 2008, Presco seized $11,000 in cash, drug

paraphernalia and some clothing during an investigation and placed
them into the evidence locker.
According to Yuma police, an investigation into the missing

evidence began after another YPD employee who was following up
on the case discovered the money and evidence were missing.
The investigation, police said, revealed that Presco had checked out
the evidence from storage on Feb. 23 for a supposed court
proceeding but never returned it.
During the department's investigation into the missing items, police

contacted Presco, who admitted he had the evidence but had not
returned it yet.
As part of the investigation, police were sent to Presco's home to

retrieve the evidence, only to be given bags of evidence but no
money.
Presco, according to testimony given during a previous hearing, has

been cooperating fully with police since his arrest.

Location:
Posts: 4804 The photo shows guard Nadja Green, in uniform, leaning back in a
chair with her arms folded on her chest, eyes closed and mouth
open. An inmate is standing next to her, making a "peace" sign.
The photo, published in the New York Post on Tuesday, came to the
attention of Department of Correction officials last week, said

Deputy Commissioner Stephen Morello. Once it was authenticated,

Green was transferred from her post at the Rikers Island infirmary
and removed from supervising inmates. The department also did
the same to Claudel Barrau, the officer who took the photo.
Phone numbers for Green and Barrau could not be found. Green has
been in the department for 4 1/2 years; Barrau for 18 years.
Morello said both officers had violated rules: Green for sleeping,
Barrau for having a cell phone at work and for taking a photo. He
said the department would be filing charges against both officers
with the city's Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings.
Mike Skelly, spokesman for the Correction Officers' Benevolent

Association, said the union wouldn't rush to condemn Green,
because it was unclear what the situation was when the photo was
taken.
"We don't know what her circumstances may have been. She may
have been sick," he said.
He said "it was totally inappropriate" for Barrau to take Green's

photo.
The inmate wasn't identified.

SHENANDOAH, Pa. --
Four northeastern Pennsylvania police officers who were arrested

earlier this month on federal charges have resigned from their jobs.
The Shenandoah Borough Police Department has only three officers

after the resignations of Chief Matthew Nestor, Capt. Jamie
Gennarini, Officer Jason Hayes and Lt. William Moyer were accepted
Tuesday night. State police are helping patrol the town.
The four were arrested Dec. 15.
Nestor, Moyer and Hayes are accused of orchestrating a cover-up in

a Mexican immigrant's beating death by altering evidence or lying
to the FBI in a case against two white high school football players.
Nestor and Gennarini are charged with extortion and civil rights
violations in a separate case.
Messages left late Tuesday seeking comment from defense lawyers

were not immediately returned.

arrested over accusations that he gave prescription drugs to an
informant is free on a $50,000 bond.
Jack Kimmett was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony

drug distribution and misdemeanor official misconduct and
theft.
Investigators say they received a tip that Kimmett was giving his
wife's prescription Vicodin to a woman who was a Longmont police

detective's confidential informant. An arrest warrant affidavit says

Kimmett was arrested after the woman set up a meeting with
Kimmett and accepted drugs from him while narcotics officers
watched.
A woman who answered the phone at Kimmett's home Friday said

he wasn't available to comment. He did not yet have an attorney on
record.

Longmont officer is arrested
Kimmett suspected of drug distribution

LONGMONT — Longmont police on Thursday arrested a fellow
officer on suspicion of felony drug distribution, as well as
misdemeanor official misconduct and theft of less than $1,000.
Officer Jack Kimmett, 54, was being held Thursday night at the
Boulder County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
“Needless to say, we are all disappointed and saddened by these

circumstances, because Jack Kimmett has been an outstanding
public servant in our community for almost three decades,”
Longmont Public Safety Chief Mike Butler said Thursday evening.

“Very unfortunately, we believe he has made some bad choices

and, as such, will be subject to the same processes as anyone else
would be subject to in the criminal justice system.”
According to an arrest warrant affidavit for Kimmett, a man on

parole claimed that the officer was a “dirty cop” who routinely
provided the parolee’s wife with Vicodin.
Longmont police began an investigation into the claim, and the

woman — who initially was reluctant to talk — said Kimmett was
like a father to her and she did not want him to lose his job,
according to the affidavit. Ultimately, the woman told them she and
Kimmett became friends after he arrested her in 2002, the affidavit
said. She is a confidential informant for another detective but has
been inactive for years, according to the affidavit.
The woman told investigators that Kimmett co-signed for her

apartment and paid the rent, utilities, cable and other bills. A
detective saw his name on a rental agreement, according to the
affidavit. In 2005, she said, Kimmett began to steal his wife’s
prescription Vicodin pills to give to her as needed, according to the
affidavit.
Investigators found that Kimmett and the woman and her husband
made hundreds of calls to and from his Longmont-issued cell phone
while he was on and off duty.
She also told investigators that he stole tea bags, hot chocolate mix
and trash bags from a local business where he did security work
and gave them to her. She also surrendered city-issued car wash
tokens officers used to have patrol cars washed, according to the
affidavit.
“She did state she orders him around and he does what she tells
him,” according to the affidavit.
She repeatedly denied that she had a sexual relationship with the
veteran officer, the affidavit said.
The woman cooperated with investigators and set up a meeting

with Kimmett in Roosevelt Park on Wednesday, according to the
affidavit; Special Enforcement Unit officers watched as the two met
and then retrieved Vicodin from the woman after the meeting.
Kimmett, who worked a day-shift patrol, is on administrative leave

pending an internal investigation and the outcome of the criminal
case, Butler said.
Butler said his investigators were “absolutely professional in the

execution of their due diligence in this matter.”
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett said his office worked closely
with Longmont police as they investigated one of their own.
“We wanted to make sure there was a thorough investigation and

there was a fair review,” Garnett said. “We certainly felt the police
department was doing a very thorough investigation.”

A Longmont police officer who was arrested last week on suspicion
of giving prescription drugs to a confidential informant, with whom
investigators suspect he was having a relationship, was charged
Friday with numerous crimes including two felonies.
Jack Kimmett, a 28-year veteran of the force, appeared Friday in a

courtroom at the Boulder County Jail, where he was charged with
theft, felony possession of a controlled substance, felony
distribution of a controlled substance and official misconduct.
Kimmett was released from jail last week after posting $50,000
bond. His next court appearance is Dec. 10.

Investigators suspect Kimmet took Vicodin from his wife and gave
the pain medication to a woman who once worked as an informant
for the Longmont Police Department, according to an arrest
affidavit.
Longmont detectives received a tip in July that launched the

investigation. They interviewed numerous people who said they had
first-hand knowledge of Kimmett providing Vicodin, Methadone,
Percocet and Oxycontin to the informant.
One person told police that Kimmett pulled people over and
confiscated their drugs without arresting them.

Senior Member guard (NE)
Man wanted in Europe found working at Tecumseh prison
By NATE JENKINS / The Associated Press | Posted: Tuesday,

October 20, 2009 6:55 pm
A simple Google search of Michal Preclik's name turns up an

Registered: May 2008 Interpol wanted poster bearing his likeness.
Location:
Posts: 4804 But the Czech Republic native had been working as a guard
at the maximum-security prison in Tecumseh for a year
when he was arrested on an international warrant for drug
and fraud crimes.
His Sept. 8 arrest came two months after officials at the Tecumseh

State Correctional Institution promoted him to corporal.
The electronic wanted poster for Preclik, 32, went up on Interpol's

Web site a year before his arrest, and the poster is near the top of
a list of links that appears when his name is Googled.
"This is just unbelievable that the state of Nebraska is hiring

international criminals," said state Sen. Heath Mello of
Omaha. "Who's minding the store?"
The Department of Correctional Services is reviewing its hiring

practices, spokeswoman Dawn Renee Smith said.
"Obviously, it's a concern whenever we have anyone working at the

facility ... who has any type of outstanding warrants," Smith said.
The situation is reminiscent of a 2005 incident that led to a

state Department of Health and Human Services policy that
requires Google searches of job candidates. The state had
offered a job to Wayne Richard McGuire, but rescinded the
offer after The Associated Press reported he had been
convicted in absentia in Rwanda of the 1985 murder of Dian
Fossey, whose research was the subject of the movie
"Gorillas in the Mist."
Preclik wound up in Nebraska in 2002 when he got a job at a hog

farm through a company that brought Eastern Europeans into the
country on tourist visas, then got them jobs in violations of those
visas.
Preclik later testified against Milan Matousek, who was convicted of

transporting and harboring illegal immigrants while helping the
company. Preclik was granted legal residency in return for his help
in the prosecution, said his wife, Kari Preclik, an American he
married in 2005.
She said the drug and fraud accusations stem from another
prosecution he assisted with in the Czech Republic. He had become
ensnared with organized crime while buying and selling cars and
was kidnapped, she said. While testifying in that case, he was
accused of giving members of the group drugs, she said.
But she had no idea of an outstanding warrant.
"We did not find out he was wanted until he was picked up," Kari
Preclik said.
Interpol, which fosters police cooperation across the borders of 188

countries, and the U.S. Marshals service didn't release any
information about the accusations against Michal Preclik.
"I was shocked when I found out," said Patrick Barker, an

officer at the prison who worked with Preclik. "Here we have
a guy facing drug and fraud charges and we're dealing with
contraband issues at the prison."

Smith said she wasn't aware of any internal investigations because

of Preclik's situation.
The Corrections Department did a background check on Preclik

before hiring him, like it does on all potential hires, she said. But a
national database that includes criminal records and warrants, the
National Criminal Information Center, did not reveal warrants for
his arrest, Smith said.
The initial check of NCIC, which is overseen by the FBI, was done
Sept. 7, 2008, a day before the international police group listed
Preclik as wanted on its Web site, according to Smith.
But a second background check was done Oct. 21, 2008, a week
after Preclik started working at the prison and more than a month
after Interpol listed him as wanted.
"No warrant showed up at that time either," Smith said.
There is often a lag between the time Interpol lists someone as

wanted and when an arrest warrant is issued in the country where
the person is residing.
Preclik was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on

Sept. 8 and has a Nov. 9 bond hearing. He has asked that the
decision to send him back to the Czech Republic be reviewed.
Immigration spokesman Tim Counts declined to speak about

Preclik's former or current immigration status other than to say he
has been charged with violating U.S. immigration laws.

driving drunk when his sport utility vehicle struck and killed a
pastor's daughter as she crossed a street early Sunday, authorities
said.
Driver Andrew Kelly was arrested Sunday on charges of vehicular

manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, police said.
Several passengers, including at least one other off-duty

police officer, were in the car when it struck Vionique
Valnord on Avenue N in Brooklyn, where she was trying to hail a
cab after leaving a wedding reception about 1 a.m. Sunday, police
and witnesses said.

Valnord, who was in her early 30s, was pronounced dead on arrival
at Kings County Hospital.
"The officers who responded to that accident detected the

smell of alcohol on the driver's breath," police Commissioner
Raymond Kelly said.
The second officer reported to his precinct later in the day

and told his superiors that he had been in the car, the
commissioner said. That officer, who has not been identified,
was being questioned, the commissioner said.
A spokesman for the city's Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, a

police union, did not immediately respond to a message requesting
comment Sunday night about officer Kelly's arrest or the accident.
Valnord's father, Varius Valnord, who is a pastor at the Church of

God in Brooklyn, delivered his sermon to nearly 100 congregants as
scheduled Sunday, hours after his daughter's death.

A drunk off-duty cop mowed down a Brooklyn pastor's

daughter Sunday as she left a wedding - and three others in

his car, including another officer, fled, police sources said.
Officer Andrew Kelly was behind the wheel of his blue Jeep
Grand Cherokee when he hit Vionique Valnord, 32, who was
hailing a cab at Avenue N and E. 56th St. in Old Mill Basin,
police said.
The impact sent Valnord, who had left a friend's wedding moments
before the 1a.m. accident, flying through the air. She died soon
after at Kings County Hospital.
Kelly, a seven-year veteran cop, is assigned to the 68th

Precinct in Bay Ridge. He was charged with vehicular
manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, police said.
"The officers who responded to that accident detected a

smell of alcohol on the driver's breath," Police Commissioner
Raymond Kelly told reporters.
The NYPD would not identify the other off-duty cop, nor
reveal where he was assigned. Sources close to the case said
he could face disciplinary action. The two other passengers
also were not named.
Investigators believe the three passengers were all drinking and ran
from the Jeep seconds after the collision, before investigating
officers arrived.
Cops found open containers of alcohol in Andrew Kelly's SUV

after the crash, police sources said.
Commissioner Kelly said the other cop later admitted to

being in the crash when he showed up for work.
"[He] approached the desk at where he works, reporting for

duty, and stated that he was in the vehicle," said
Commissioner Kelly. "So he's being questioned about the
circumstances of the accident."
That officer was being "somewhat cooperative," a source

briefed on the case said. It is not a crime for passengers to
leave the scene of an accident, but an officer is expected to
stay at a crime scene and help the investigation.
Andrew Kelly, 30, refused to take a Breathalyzer test, and

investigators obtained a warrant to draw his blood, sources
said. The cop, wearing a Yankees jacket and hat, was led
from a police stationhouse in handcuffs hours after the crash.
He was freed on $200,000 bond after being arraigned.
Investigators believe the night's rain and fog played a role in the
crash and that Officer Kelly may have never seen Valnord.
The Rev. Varius Valnord, Vionique's father, was presiding over the

wedding at the Floyd Bennett American Legion hall, where she

spent her final moments.
"She was crossing the street, trying to stop a cab, but we ended up
getting one down the street," said her heartbroken friend Nesly
Lafontant, 23. "That's when we called for her to come, and she
turned around and got hit."
Lafontant said the Jeep roared down the street and made no
effort to slow down before it slammed into Valnord.
"When the car hit her, she fell away from the car and it came
to a stop," said Lafontant. "He hit the brakes only after he
hit her - he didn't slam on the brakes before. There was no
screeching tire sound or anything."
One of the cops from the Jeep, believed to be Kelly, tried to give
cardiopulmonary resuscitation to Valnord in the moments after the
accident, witnesses said. It was unclear if the other three
passengers offered to help or ran first.

Tuesday, September 29th 2009, 4:00 AM
It took authorities more than seven hours to draw blood from an

accused drunken cop who killed a preacher's daughter while driving
back to a bar for more booze, the Daily News has learned.
The time lag - partly because a doctor wrongly thought Brooklyn

Police Officer Andrew Kelly's consent was necessary - could make a
dramatic difference in prosecutors' ability to convict the officer.
The seven-year NYPD vet is charged with manslaughter and

DWI in the death of Vionique Valnord, 32, as she hailed a cab

in Old Mill Basin, Brooklyn, at 12:41 a.m. Sunday.
Kelly and one of his three passengers, Officer Michael

Downs, worked overtime at the Yankees-Red Sox game at
Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the Bronx and
then drove back to Brooklyn.
Kelly told cops he went to one bar, where he drank an

unspecified amount.
He then went to another, where he downed six to eight

beers, police and other sources said. Sources said one of the
bars was the Third & Seventh in Marine Park, where last
night plainclothes officers were seen examining security
footage.
Kelly refused to take a Breathalyzer test and, while reeking

of booze and slurring his speech, told responding officers
there was no way they were going to draw his blood.
"I'm not going to let that happen," he said, one source

briefed on the incident said. "You're going to have to tie me
down."
Kelly's obstinance, the source said, caused the first delay, and the
Brooklyn district attorney's office was not notified until 1:54a.m.
The next three hours went as planned, the source said, with
investigators doing the required interviews. Brooklyn Criminal Court
Judge Joseph Gubbay granted the warrant about 5:30a.m., after
prosecutors called him at home, the Office of Court Administration
said.
When Kelly, 30, arrived at Kings County Hospital at 5:52a.m., he

refused to consent to give blood. A doctor there mistakenly believed
consent was necessary and would not draw blood, two sources said.
After a flurry of phone calls involving Internal Affairs and

prosecutors, Kelly's blood was taken about 8 a.m. - seven hours
and 20 minutes after the accident.
Test results have not been released.
The NYPD had no comment, but Jerry Schmetterer, spokesman for

the district attorney's office, said prosecutors "expect to be able to
prove that his blood alcohol was above the legal limit."
Kelly, assigned to Brooklyn's 68th Precinct, faces almost certain

dismissal from the force, sources said.
His pal Downs, also 30 and a four-year veteran from

Brooklyn's 70th Precinct, likely faces the same fate, sources
said. He was suspended late Sunday because he was in Kelly's
blue Jeep Cherokee when it hit Valnord and fled, leaving Kelly at

the scene.
Sources said Downs says a responding officer told him to leave the
scene. If true, that officer will face departmental charges.
The two other men in the car with Kelly and Downs do not face
criminal charges, sources said.
They didn't stop to help her
Downs and the two other men fled without helping Valnord as she
lay dying in the street. She was bleeding from her aorta and
suffered multiple fractures.
Relatives of Valnord, a Bible student who wanted to be a

missionary, were preparing for her funeral at the Church of God at
1085 Flatbush Ave. at noon on Friday.
Just six weeks ago, Kelly and Downs were all smiles, with Downs
marrying his sweetheart, Camille, and Kelly serving as one of the
ushers.
Downs was holed up in his Staten Island home yesterday,

and Kelly, free on bail, in his Flushing, Queens, home.
Steven Chebba, who is Kelly's neighbor and knows Downs, said

he's stunned by the accusations. He called Kelly "a very nice,
easygoing guy" and described Downs as "graceful."

'Drunk' cop kills pastor's daughter

A drunk NYPD officer struck and killed a Brooklyn woman early

this morning - and his three passengers, including at least one
other cop, fled the deadly scene and left her dying in the
street, police sources and witnesses said.
Driver Andrew Kelly, 30, who is assigned to the 68th Precinct in

Bay Ridge and lives in Flushing, Queens, was arrested after
mowing down Vionique Valnord, 33 at the corner of Avenue N and
56th Street, cops said.
Sources said he refused to take a breathalyzer test and

investigators obtained a warrant to draw his blood.
A second off-duty cop in the front passenger seat and two

more in the rear bolted immediately following the deadly
collision, sources said.
Kelly was driving westbound on Avenue N when he struck Valnord,

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters.
The commissioner said the officer in the passenger seat

reported to his regular precinct hours later and told his
superiors that he was in the car.
"He's being questioned about the circumstances of the accident,"

said the commissioner.
It was unclear whether the other two officers had been identified.
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime only for the driver of a

car. Passengers are not required by law to stay behind, but the
three other officers might still face departmental discipline for

fleeing.
"I have never heard of it applying to anyone else but the driver,"
said defense lawyer Steven Chaikin.
Officer Kelly was taken from the scene wearing what appeared to
be civilian clothes - a Yankees jacket and cap, work boots and cargo
pants. He was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving
while intoxicated.
Commissioner Kelly said cops responding to the scene of the

accident smelled alcohol on Officer Kelly's breath.
Valnord's father, pastor of the Church of God on Rogers Avenue in

Crown Heights, gathered the strength to deliver his customary
Sunday sermon, despite the unimaginable tragedy.
"When it's time for God to take you, you must go," he told
congregants. "God decides whether you live or die."
Friends said Vionique Valnord was leaving the wedding of two

church members and trying to flag down a cab when Kelly's Jeep
slammed into her at about 45 miles per hour.
"I saw her body in the air, flipping and twisting, and I heard it hit
the ground," said Richard Augustin, who also attended the wedding.
Witnesses said several people - including the driver - rushed to

Valnord to try to resucitate her.
"She was breathing slowly," said another witness, Ricardo Brisard,

22. "She was hit on the right side. Her right leg was broken. She
was still alive."
Valnord died of her injuries at Kings County Hospital.
While many friends in the close-knit church community tried to

remember that God hates the sin - not the sinner - others were less
kind.
"He should go to jail, if he's a cop driving drunk," fumed a 28-year-

old parioshioner who declined to identify herself. "This needs to be
pursued. They need to put some pressure on [the other cops]."
Kelly's neighbor, Felix Aponte, was stunned by the news.
"He's a great guy," Aponte said. "Always willing to help you. I'm
stunned by this. It doesn't sound like him."

DWI cop indicted for fatally mowing down woman
By ALEX GINSBERG
Last Updated: 5:04 PM, October 14, 2009
Posted: 4:54 PM, October 14, 2009
Accused DWI killer cop Andrew Kelly has been indicted by a

Brooklyn grand jury on charges that include vehicular
manslaughter, speeding and driving under the influence, authorities
announced today.
The indictment charges that Kelly, 30, caused a car accident in the
early hours of Sept. 27, 2009, near Avenue N and East 56th St. in
Flatlands, in which Vionique Valnord-Kassime was killed.
If convicted, Kelly, a seven-year NYPD veteran, faces up to seven

years in prison.
The Post reported that a cop was suspended for giving gum and
water to Kelly soon after he fatally mowed down Valnord-Kassime.
A female sergeant also has been reassigned from night tours to a

daytime shift and could face departmental charges for a delay in
getting Kelly to a hospital to check his blood-alcohol level.
Seven hours elapsed between the time Kelly struck the 33-year-old
woman and the testing of his blood. No alcohol was found in his
system.
All NYPD supervisors who were at the scene are being

reinterviewed by Internal Affairs Bureau officials, who were
trying to determine if there was a cover-up. Kelly was off-duty and
driving a Jeep carrying three pals, including another officer, when
he mowed down the woman. Kelly reeked of booze and had
slurred speech and glassy eyes, prosecutors said.
He has admitted to downing several beers that night.

Posts: 31403 Tulsa - A Tulsa police officer is free on bond after his arrest on drug
complaints Tuesday night.
Police arrested 37-year-old Travis K. Ludwig at his home

Tuesday evening. According to the arrest and booking report, police
obtained several search reports and that those search warrants
turned up three bags of a tannish-white substance, drug scales and
money.

The report says the substance field-tested positive for cocaine.
Today, we spoke with Ludwig's attorney, Scott Wood, who says his
client is innocent.
"Travis Ludwig is not a drug dealer," Wood said. "He abhors drug
dealers and is not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing in this matter."
Police say they learned of the alleged drug dealing during an

internal administrative investigation into Ludwig. We're told he has
now been suspended until the investigation is complete.

Tulsa Police Officer Suspended After Drug Arrest

TULSA, OK -- A Tulsa police officer says he's innocent after being

arrested on a cocaine charge.
Officer Travis Ludwig is on paid suspension after internal

affairs officers say they found three, one-gram bags of
cocaine and scales in Officer Ludwig's duffle bag.
As bad as it looks, Officer Ludwig's attorney says there's a perfectly

logical explanation for what was found and says Officer Ludwig will
take a lie detector and a drug test, anytime to prove he has done
nothing wrong.
Officer Travis Ludwig was booked into jail at about 1 a.m.

Wednesday on a complaint of possession of a controlled drug

with intent to distribute. Ludwig was released on bond.
However, this story began Tuesday afternoon when internal affairs
officers served papers to Officer Ludwig, telling him he was under
investigation for timesheet discrepancies.
They told him they were taking his squad car, but allowed him to
remove his personal items.
Ludwig's attorney says they watched as Ludwig scooped

items out of his console and seat into a duffle bag.
Ludwig's attorney says the internal affairs officers came

back and confiscated the duffle bag and that's when they
found the cocaine and scales.
Ludwig's attorney says it's not uncommon for suspects to hide

things in police cars.
"When they give their car a thorough cleaning, police find guns,
knives, drugs, hidden down in the cracks of the backseat or the
front seat. In this case, Travis' car doesn't have a cage. And his
console, where this was found, could be accessible by a suspect,"
said Scott Wood, Ludwig's attorney.
As for the scales, Attorney Wood says Officer Ludwig has had those
for a long time in order to weigh confiscated drugs, so he'll know
what kind of charge to file.
Attorney Wood says Officer Ludwig has been chosen as officer of

the month more than once for his outstanding work.
"Travis, for the 15 years of his career, was an active, for lack of a
better word, dope cop and he made literally hundreds of drug
arrests," said Scott Wood, Ludwig's attorney.
Chief Ron Palmer is in California for a conference, but The News On

6 talked with him a short time ago and he said if the DA files
charges against Officer Ludwig, he'll be moved to suspended
without pay.
Officer Ludwig got in trouble a few years ago for his

relationship with a married exotic dancer and busting her
husband for drugs. The drug charges were later dropped and
Ludwig since married the woman. Chief Palmer says that case
has nothing to do with the current one.

If Travis Ludwig knew he was under investigation by Internal

Affairs, then why didn't he notify someone that there were drugs in
the car which needed to either be destroyed or put into evidence?
Instead he chose to put the cocaine and the scales into his duffle
bag rather than notify someone at the station or even Internal
Affairs about the drugs in his car.
The explanation by the attorney of Travis Ludwig would be plausible

if he had notified someone at the station about the drugs rather
than putting them in his duflfe bag.

Posts: 31403 Tulsa - Tulsa Police Chief Ron Palmer says he feels his department
took swift action after allegations of drug activity by one of its
officers and explained how the alleged criminal activity was
discovered.
Police arrested one of their own, 37-year-old Travis K. Ludwig,

Tuesday night at his home and booked him into the Tulsa County
Jail on a complaint of possession of a controlled drug with intent to
distribute.
The arrest followed an investigation that revealed three baggies of

tannish-white substance, drug scales and money. The arrest report
says the tannish-white substance field tested positive for cocaine
Chief Palmer says the alleged wrongdoing was discovered during a

separate investigation.
"The discovery of the drugs was unexpected in that we were looking

for other things in taking that car down on truly an administrative
investigation," Palmer told NewsChannel 8. "Once the criminal
activity was discovered, we stopped that administrative
investigation and pursued the criminal activity."
Ludwig was suspended with pay pending the outcome of the

investigation.
"When we become aware of these situations, we're determined to

take swift action in regards to making sure the officer is removed
from duty and secondly if there is prosecution available to us, that

that avenue is used," said Palmer.
Palmer says while any illegal activity by officers damages the

department's image, it's the quick response that lets the public
know the department can be trusted.

Tulsa officer faces drug charge

He is accused of possessing drugs and drug paraphernalia found
during an investigation.

A Tulsa police officer who was arrested after drugs were found in
his police car was charged Monday morning with possessing drugs
and drug paraphernalia, court records show.
Officer Travis Ludwig was suspended with pay after his arrest Sept.
22, Officer Jason Willingham said.
Police said cocaine was discovered in his car during an unrelated

administrative investigation.
"The discovery of the drugs was an unexpected circumstance in

regards to the administrative investigation," Police Chief Ron Palmer
said.
"We were not looking specifically for drugs at that point," but the
investigation "took on a whole different flavor" after they were
found.
Ludwig, 37, maintains his innocence and said he doesn't know

where the drugs came from, his attorney, Scott Wood, said
previously.
Wood said Ludwig thinks the drugs were dumped there by a

suspect, and he said it is not uncommon for weapons or drugs to be
dumped by criminals in police cars.
Palmer said the initial investigation "was based on observations

made by his commanders in regards to some irregularities in the
timekeeping."
Police were investigating "whether he was there or not at times

when he said he was, and then when he said he was there, exactly
what he was doing," Palmer said.
Department heads are conducting a "more rigorous review of

timekeeping matters and overtime matters" than they had in the
past, the chief said.

The Police Department and other city departments are having to

furlough employees this fiscal year, "and that requires a whole lot
more attention to make sure it is done correctly," Palmer said.
"Secondly," he continued, "we are charged with keeping overtime

down to an acceptable level and making sure people are doing the
right thing with that."
When Internal Affairs investigators served Ludwig with a notice of

the internal investigation and gave him a personnel order placing
him on restricted duty, they seized his patrol car, Wood said
previously.
In the officers' presence, Ludwig then retrieved some papers and

personal items out of the car, the attorney said.
Search warrants that were filed in Tulsa County District Court on

Monday indicate that the two officers saw Ludwig take a toolbox, a
firearm bag containing an AR-15 rifle and a black nylon duffel bag
from the car.
They said they saw him remove items from a door pocket as well as
from the center console and place items in the duffel bag, the
records show.
He put the bag into another officer's car, his attorney said.
During an inventory of Ludwig's car, officers found a yellow capsule

in the door pocket and a small plastic bag containing a "tannish,
white chunky substance" in the console, and that substance tested
positive for cocaine, the records show.
The investigators then retrieved Ludwig's belongings from the other

officer's car, Wood said.
Inside the duffel bag, investigators found a plastic bag containing a

tannish-white substance as well as a Newport cigarette box
containing another plastic bag of a similar substance that tested
positive for cocaine, the police records show.
Police also searched Ludwig's house, where they seized cash and
guns, the documents state.
"We are disappointed we have to do this at all with any officer,"

Palmer said. "But when we did, in fact, find what we believed to be
violations of law, we acted expeditiously to make sure the district
attorney had a chance to review the case as we saw it and
determine whether there was any criminal culpability or not."
Ludwig wasn't required to take a drug test, but his lawyer said he
consented to one.
Palmer said that "just the mere possession of the drugs without
other behavior that supports the ingestion of the drugs would not

lead us to a urinalysis under current policy."
Former Police Chief Dave Been signed off on a previous disciplinary

action for Ludwig.
He was suspended without pay for 40 hours after supervisors found

that his relationship with a married exotic dancer violated rules
against conduct unbecoming an officer. The woman and Ludwig
later married.

Posts: 31403 WATERBURY — A city police officer was arrested Thursday after
Watertown police investigating the crash of his pickup early Sunday
found a large quantity of drugs in the truck.
The drugs, including cocaine, were found in the truck along with a
digital scale, police said. Francis Brevetti, 29, a four-year veteran
of the police department, surrendered to Watertown police after an
arrest warrant was signed Thursday by the state's attorney's office.

Police say that Brevetti, of 11 Rustic Acres Drive in Wolcott,

was driving his Ford F-150 pickup on Echo Lake Road Extension in
Watertown when he crashed head-on into a tree at about 2 a.m.
Sunday. The front bumper of the truck was bent inward and the
grill was smashed on impact with the tree.
Officers responding to the accident found that Brevetti had gotten

out of his truck and was stumbling in the roadway. He was taken to
Waterbury Hospital for treatment of injuries to his face and head.
But as police prepared to tow the vehicle from the scene,

they discovered a large quantity of drugs in the rear portion
of the truck. According to police, officers seized several
small plastic baggies stuffed with marijuana, another small
plastic bag that held less than 3 grams of powdered cocaine
and a digital scale used for weighing small items.
Police estimated the weight of the marijuana at more than 51

grams. Police seized the drugs and launched a criminal investigation
after calling police in Waterbury.
"We were notified immediately," said Acting Waterbury Police

Superintendent Michael Gugliotti.
After a warrant was secured, Brevetti was charged with the

following: possession of narcotics, possession of cocaine with intent
to sell, possession of cocaine with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of
a school zone, possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana
with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within
1,500 feet of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was released on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to be

arraigned on Sept. 29.

VIRGINIA BEACH – When Master Police Officer Bryan Womble

appears in court July 27th, he will face a Hit and Run charge as well
as a DUI charge in connection to an incident involving the 36-year-
old last month.
June 20th, Womble’s fellow officers arrested him at the Oceanfront.

Court paperwork shows his blood-alcohol level was .15 at

the time. That’s nearly twice the legal limit.
Police say Womble crashed into another car at 20th Street

and Pacific Avenue, but he continued driving for a couple of
blocks where they stopped him. In essence, Womble left
crash site.
Asked why the Hit and Run charge was filed only this week, police
department spokesman MPO Adam Bernstein tells 13News "There
was not an overwhelming amount of evidence at the scene to
charge him."
In fact, the summons for the Hit and Run charge came through the
Chesapeake Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office which is handling
the case to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Womble is a part of the Virginia Beach Selective Enforcement

Team that focuses on catching drunk drivers.
During an interview with 13News in May 2008, Womble explained

why preventing drivers from drinking is difficult.
"It's not an easy task because a lot of them have that mentality
that it cannot happen, it will not happen to me," said Womble.
Womble arrested former NFL star Bruce Smith for DUI in May.
Thursday, a judge found Smith guilty of the charge.
For the time being, the 36-year-old Womble is on administrative

duty.
Womble is a witness in several pending DUI cases in Virginia Beach.

A prosecutor in the Commonwealth Attorney's office told 13News
the city does not expect Womble's arrest to change anything, and
those cases will go forward.

Reported by: Patrick Terpstra
VIRGINIA BEACH -- A Virginia Beach police officer charged with DUI

is now facing a hit-and-run charge.
The new charge against Officer Bryan Womble is related to his May
20 drunken driving arrest, according to police spokesman MPO
Adam Bernstein.
The Chesapeake special prosecutor on the case determined there

was enough evidence to prove Womble tried to flee the crash scene
after colliding with a 1995 Dodge Neon near the Oceanfront.
The hit-and-run charge is a misdemeanor and not a violent crime,

so police determined Womble could remain on administrative duty,
assigned to him after his DUI arrest.
Womble worked as a DUI enforcement officer, pulling over former

NFL great Bruce Smith for drunken driving in May.
Womble is set to testify against dozens of defendants in the coming

weeks, including a raft of DUI cases.
Virginia Beach Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Murphy says

Womble's two misdemeanor charges "should not change anything"
in the upcoming cases.

Bryan Womble, the Virginia Beach police officer who charged retired
NFL star Bruce Smith with drunken driving, will have to wait until
September to be tried on his own charges of drunken driving and
hit-and-run.
Womble was charged June 20 after he crashed his Mitsubishi while

off-duty into another car on Pacific Avenue, according to court
records. He failed three of four sobriety tests and posted a .15
blood-alcohol concentration, records showed.
His case was continued this morning after his attorney told a judge
that he needed more time to check out new evidence.
Womble has been on administrative duty since his arrest. He wore a

dark suit instead of his police uniform when he testified at Smith’s
trial on July 9.
Smith, who was convicted of speeding, driving under the influence

and refusing to take a breath test, has appealed his case and is set
for a new trial in Circuit Court on Aug. 27.
Womble is one of eight Beach police officers who specialize in

enforcing drunken-driving laws.
Master Police Officer Bryan K. Womble, 36, specializes in

drunken driving enforcement.

Posts: 31403 VIRGINIA BEACH - A hearing for a Virginia Beach police officer
accused of DUI was continued until September at the request of his
defense attorney, Larry Slipow.
Officer Bryan Womble was arrested in June after police say he got
into a car accident and left the scene. Police arrested Womble a few
blocks away.
Officer Womble has been on administrative duty since the night of

his arrest.
Police say the 36 year-old officer crashed his car into another car at
the corner of 20th street and pacific avenue.
Reports show that the night officer Womble was arrested, his blood
alcohol content was almost twice the legal limit.
Making matters worse, he was charged with hit and run for
allegedly trying to leave the scene of the accident.
His employment with the police department could be in jeopardy

depending on the outcome of the case.
There are questions as to whether it will affect pending cases, as

well.
Officer Womble had been a decorated member of the department's

traffic enforcement team.

He arrested NFL star Bruce Smith in may on DUI charges, and

testified against him earlier this month.
Womble still has numerous DUI cases pending in court in which he

will testify for the prosecution. Defense attorneys have been asking
to reschedule those cases for after Womble's hearing.
The local president of mother's against drunk driving doesn't

believe it will affect their outcome.
"I think it's much ado about nothing, I'm not aware of any
relevance that Officer Womble's actions as a private citizen as to
how it would weigh in on any pending DUI case," said Michale
Goodove, MADD president.
Womble faces misdemeanor charges. The hit and run could have
been a felony if there had been any injuries or damage worth more
than $1,000.
The new date is September 21.

Reserve Akron officer cleared for duty have

second DUI charge
By Phil Trexler
Beacon Journal staff writer
POSTED: 07:22 p.m. EDT, Sep 18, 2009
A reserve Akron police officer has been cleared to

return to active duty after being convicted this summer
of a second drunken-driving charge.
Steven R. Mohseninia, 28, is being given the same

opportunity as any other officer, police Chief Craig
Gilbride said Friday.
''I know the kid's character, he's a good officer, he's

done a great job as a reserve and I felt he deserved
one more chance,'' Gilbride said. ''If he screws up, he's
done.''
Reserve officers are certified peace officers who

volunteer to work for the Akron Police Department.
They have full arrest powers and carry a weapon.
Mohseninia has been a reserve officer since May

2006. Most reserve officers use the status to work
private security jobs.
Mohseninia's attorney, Michael Callahan, said he

supports the police department's stance on the case.
''He's a good kid who got caught up in a bad situation,''

Callahan said. ''But I will echo what the chief said: He
deserves a second chance.''
A Summit County grand jury indicted Mohseninia after

a car crash in March.
Mohseninia, a Stow resident, was driving north on

Arlington Road and turned left in front of a deputy's

cruiser near state Route 619 in Green. The deputy
suffered minor injuries.
Mohseninia, who was off duty, refused a breath

test to measure his blood-alcohol level. He had a
previous DUI conviction, according to court
records. He also had a Glock 9 mm pistol in his
car.
Mohseninia was charged with drunken driving and

improper handling of a firearm, a felony. The
department stripped him of his reserve officer ranking
while the case was pending.
In July, Mohseninia reached a plea deal with county

prosecutors. He pleaded no contest to a reduced
misdemeanor firearm charge and DUI.
A felony conviction would have precluded him from

working in law enforcement because felons are banned
from carrying firearms.
Summit Common Pleas Judge Mary Margaret

Rowlands gave Mohseninia a six-month
suspended jail sentence, a $375 fine and three
days in a driver's intervention program.
His license was suspended for six months with

work privileges. The judge also granted
Mohseninia's request to have his weapon
returned.

Border inspector arrested in pot smuggling case

Registered: Jul 2003 'B.C. bud' found in van has street value of $1.6 million
Location: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local...smuggler15.html
Posts: 31403
By PAUL SHUKOVSKY
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security border inspector was

arrested by his colleagues Monday on charges of smuggling 535
pounds of potent "B.C. bud" with an estimated street value of $1.6
million into the United States from Canada.

Cory Whitfield, 35, who started his career eight years ago at the
border at Blaine, may have ended it just down the road at Lynden
on Monday when he drove up to the inspection booth in a white van
and encountered fellow Customs and Border Protection inspector
Rodney Nash.
When Whitfield showed Nash a U.S. diplomatic passport as ID, Nash

asked why he had a diplomatic passport, according to charging
documents. Whitfield said, "I'm one of us," explaining that he is a
CPB inspector assigned to the Vancouver, B.C., airport where he
clears passengers heading to the United States.
Nash asked Whitfield the purpose of his trip, and Whitfield said he
was delivering a car engine to a friend in Bellingham. Nash walked
around to the rear of the van, discovered that the doors were
locked, and asked Whitfield for the keys.
He swung the doors open and saw an engine block strapped to the
floor. He also saw several cabinets along the van walls. When he
opened one, it was stuffed with plastic bags containing what
appeared to be marijuana.
Nash went back to the driver's window and asked Whitfield if he

knew what was in the cabinets. Whitfield said he did not know.
"You're telling me that you do not know what is in the van," Nash
asked. "No, I don't know what's in the van," Whitfield replied.
Other inspectors and Immigration and Customs Enforcement special

agents then questioned Whitfield further.
They concluded that his story about taking the engine to a Ford
dealership in Bellingham to soup up a recently purchased 1971 Ford
Mach 1 simply didn't add up.
Under questioning, he finally "admitted that he was not truthful

about the engine," according to the complaint filed by Special Agent
Jacob Black of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Whitfield revealed he had met the van's owner while moonlighting

as a bodyguard at private parties and local bars in the Vancouver
area.
He told agents the van's owner told him to use the engine as a
cover story at the border and deliver the van to Bellis Fair Mall in
Bellingham, park it and go inside.
He was told to drive it back to Canada after its contents were

unloaded.
"Whitfield said that he 'assumed' there was marijuana in the van,"

because he knew that the van's owner was involved in marijuana
trafficking. "Whitfield did not know how much he was getting paid,
but that it would probably be worth his while," according to the
complaint.

But the suspected smuggler claimed it was not just money that
motivated him.
Whitfield told agents that he was at a party with the van's owner
when he met a man he knows only as "Dennis." Dennis and the
van's owner "confronted him with photographs depicting Whitfield
in compromising situations involving illegal drugs and a sexual
encounter with a female at the party," according to the complaint.
Whitfield told agents that they threatened to send the photos to

Whitfield's boss and his wife if he did not do as instructed. And he
said "that if he talked, he would be a 'dead man,' " according to the
complaint. Asked to elaborate on the threat to his life, Whitfield
refused, the complaint says.
Agents drove Whitfield to Seattle yesterday after testing the green,

leafy substance for the presence of tetrahydracannabinol (THC), the
psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
The test was positive. Based on a market value of "B.C. bud" in

Western Washington of between $3,000 and $4,000 per pound, the
agents "conservatively" calculated that the 535.5 pounds of
marijuana has a street value of about $1,605,000.
If convicted of smuggling and possession with intent to distribute

the marijuana, Whitfield could be fined as much as $2 million and
face a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years and up to 40 years
in a federal prison.
He is confined at the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac pending a

hearing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, he has been placed on administrative leave pending the

outcome of the criminal case, according to DHS spokesman Mike
Milne.

A U.S. Customs agent is facing a long prison term after
pleading guilty to trying to import marijuana into
Washington state from British Columbia.
Cory Whitfield had worked as a screener at Vancouver

International Airport for six years.
When he was arrested at the border crossing just north of Lynden,

Wash., in September, inspectors found more than 240 kilograms of
marijuana in the white van he was driving.
The pot was worth an estimated $1.6 million US on the street.
Prosecutors said Whitfield tried to influence border guards not to

search his vehicle by suggesting he was one of them.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Janet Freeman said he was wearing a shirt

with the initial "INS" on the collar. "And as you may know, those
initials represent the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the
United States."
Whitfield also produced a diplomatic passport, the court was told.
He pleaded guilty to the charges in front a magistrate in

Seattle on Wednesday.
He faces a minimum sentence of five years in prison.
Freeman said her office will ask for a longer term than that, arguing
he violated a position of public trust.

Providence goes after police union hall’s liquor license

Journal Staff Writer
PROVIDENCE — Last call at the police union hall?
The Police Department administration Thursday asked the

Board of Licenses to suspend or revoke the union hall’s
liquor license following a brawl at the police watering hole
early Saturday morning. The brawl led to the arrest of state

Trooper Edward J. Stenovitch, on a charge that he punched

Providence police Sgt. Bernard “Teddy” Gannon in the face.
Gannon suffered a broken nose and was sent to Roger Williams

Hospital for treatment.
The assault and subsequent investigation found that

Stenovitch and other police officers were drinking in the
Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #3 on Sheridan Street
between 3 and 3:30 a.m. The union hall holds a Class D
liquor license that prohibits the bar from serving alcohol
after 1 a.m.
Police Chief Dean M. Esserman said that, on Wednesday, he met

with Kenneth Cohen, the union president, and several other union
representatives and told them that the department would take
action against the union hall.
“Everyone is treated the same,” Esserman said. “They absolutely

understand that we are bringing the case to the board.”
Said Deputy Police Chief Paul J. Kennedy: “They are a licensed

establishment and we expect them to comply just like any other
licensed establishment in the city.”
Cohen, a retired police lieutenant, could not be reached for

comment.
The action against the union hall appears to be

unprecedented. Over the years, there have been plenty of
fights and other unruly activity — inside and outside — the
cottage-style building on the banks of the Woonasquatucket
River in Olneyville.
Back in the 1970s, a police officer opened fire on a framed

photograph of then-Mayor Vincent A. Cianci Jr., and, in 1990,
two officers were suspended for firing more than 20 rounds
at rats in the parking lot outside the union hall.
On Friday night, hundreds of police officers gathered there to raise

money for the widow of Peter Rocchio, a Providence police officer,
who died in June while driving his car off-duty on Academy Avenue
in Mount Pleasant.
The officers each plunked down $20 for a buffet dinner, drinks and
a night of music — karaoke and off-duty officers performing with
their own bands.
Stenovitch, his wife, and another couple from North Providence

stopped by about 3 a.m.
Shortly thereafter, Stenovitch allegedly punched Gannon in

the face. Kennedy said the attack was “unprovoked.”
Stenovitch’s lawyer, John D. Lynch, said that several police officers

retaliated against Stenovitch in the parking lot and left him with two
black eyes and at least one cracked rib. Lynch said that his client,
like Gannon, was treated at a local hospital.
Stenovitch was arraigned before a bail commissioner at

Providence police headquarters on the simple assault
misdemeanor count and released on his own recognizance.
Lynch said Stenovitch cannot identify the officers who assaulted

him and, even if he could, he probably has no intention of filing
criminal charges against them. “He should heal up and forget about
it,” he said.
Serena Conley, city liquor administrator, said that, within the next
two weeks, she will meet a representative from the Police
Department and city solicitor’s office to decide whether the union
hall should have its license revoked or suspended. Another option is
a fine.
They will forward their recommendation to the five-member

Licensing Board for action.

Yeah, nothing like partying with a whole hallful of drunken, drugged-

up psychopaths. What could possibly go wrong?
It would take a lawyer more than a few minutes to list all of the
laws and ordinances these swine routinely violate as a matter of
course. DUIs, assault, serving after hours, yadayada, and on.

West Bloomfield, N.Y. - A former Canandaigua police officer is again
in trouble with the law.
Ontario County deputies on Friday, September 4, charged 47-year-

old Robert Schreib of West Bloomfield, with felony driving while
intoxicated and resisting arrest after a traffic stop at the Bloomdale
Mobile Home Park at about 7:50 p.m.
Schreib retired from his job as a city police officer after he

was charged with petit larceny in October 2007. He was

placed on administrative leave after his arrest. In that case,
he was accused of stealing meat from Tops in Canandaigua.
Then, in late April of this year, he was charged with DWI

after he was seen driving erratically on Whalen Road in East
Bloomfield. He recently pleaded guilty to that charge,
making this latest DWI charge a felony.
He was arraigned in West Bloomfield Town Court and taken to

Ontario County Jail in lieu of bail. If convicted of the felony DWI, he
faces a fine of up to $5,000 and up to four years behind bars,
according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
Before joining the city police force, Schreib worked as an officer in

the Palmyra and Rochester police departments.

COLLIER COUNTY — A nearly 23-year veteran of the Collier
County Sheriff’s Office has been assigned to administrative
duties after a weekend drunk driving arrest near Everglades City.
Around 7:20 p.m. on Saturday, Cpl. Walter Solomon, 69, was

driving a sport utility vehicle east on U.S. 41 East near the
intersection with Union Road, according to an arrest report. He was
driving very slowly.

When another deputy saw Solomon cross into the opposite lane of
traffic, he conducted a traffic stop, reports said.
Concerned that Solomon might be having a medical problem, the

deputy requested that Collier County EMS respond to the scene.
However, reports say they determined Solomon was possibly
impaired by alcohol.
When an investigator arrived on scene, Solomon was standing on

the side of the road holding onto a street sign, deputies reported.
He smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, and swayed front to back
after he let go of the sign.
Solomon stumbled while trying to walk a straight line, reports said.

The investigator had to reach out to prevent him from falling while
performing field sobriety tests.
Solomon was arrested, and booked into the Collier County

jail on a misdemeanor DUI charge. Because he is a law
enforcement officer, his address and mug shot were not released.
"He has been temporarily assigned to administrative duties,"

Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Karie Partington said.
Solomon, who works as a bailiff, started with the Sheriff’s Office on

Oct. 9, 1986.

No doubt Kopskum Aguilar will be awarded a certificate for his

Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling said Monday that 37-

arrested Saturday night near Desert Breeze Park, about six miles
west of the Las Vegas Strip.

Welling says 38-year-old Scott Wilson of Honolulu was also arrested.
Welling says park police approached the men in a white van

because it was parked sideways across two spots in the park's
parking lot.
Welling says that as officers approached, the van drove off. She
says that after a short car chase, Fujioka and Souza tried to elude
authorities on foot.
Welling says all three men are charged with possession of

marijuana.

At a police softball game in Las Vegas, Nevada, Sahyne Souza,

47, and Kevin Fujioka, 37, were arrested by their fellow officers
for smoking marijuana.
Thousands of police offices from around the country were in

attendance at the five-day sporting event, Nevada Police and FIre
Games, when they two pot smoking police officers attempted to flee
the scene.
According to Clark County authorities, officials noticed an illegally

parked van at the Police Softball Tournament, and from it leaked

the fumes of odiferous marijuana. When the police approached the
vehicle, the van sped away.
Following a brief car chase, the suspects then attempted to flee on

foot, to no avail. One suspect was resisting arrest and was pepper
sprayed by the arresting officer.
Souze has been an officer for the Honolulu Police Deportment for 20
years and Fujioka has been serving in Pearl City for 13 years.
Both officers were booked in Clark County jail on possession

charges and later released.

LAS VEGAS, NV (KHNL) - Two Honolulu police officers were involved

in an arrest over the weekend. It sounds routine, but they were the
ones handcuffed and taken to jail, and it happened all the way in

Nevada. In this case, what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas.
The two HPD officers were in Vegas for a softball tournament. They
were arrested Saturday night and charged with, among other
things, marijuana possession.
A Las Vegas park was the scene of an unusual arrest Saturday

night. Police patrolling the Desert Breeze Park saw an illegally
parked van. When they tried to approach the vehicle, the van took
off. The situation eventually turned into a foot pursuit.
Police found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the van, and

arrested HPD officers Kevin Fujioka and Shayne Souza, and a third
man, Scott Wilson, who is a social worker.
"The feeling is not a great feeling but we have to do our job," said
Sgt. Rick Binyons, a spokesperson with the Clark County Police
Department. "And that's our job to make sure the parks are free of
crime, to include narcotics."
HPD Chief Boisse Correa says this is a serious matter. In a

statement, he said, "While both were off duty at the time and not
traveling on department business, department policy prohibits illicit
drug use by officers whether they are on- or off-duty. Any officer
who uses illegal drugs faces serious consequences, including loss of
police powers and termination."
Charges include DUI and marijuana possession for Fujioka; and

resisting arrest, and possession of drug paraphernalia for Souza.
Wilson was charged with narcotics possession and open container
violation.
Clark County police will pursue the case, and HPD has launched its
own investigation.

A Madison police intern is in hot water Friday morning after he

allegedly got drunk, accosted three men downtown while claiming
to be a detective and threw one of the men to the ground before
real officers arrived and took him to jail, Madison police reported.
Samuel Lehman, 20, was tentatively charged with impersonating

a police officer, disorderly conduct and underage drinking following

his arrest at about 12:30 a.m. Friday at Langdon and North Frances
Streets.
Lt. John Radovan said Lehman was intoxicated and walking down
Frances Street when he came upon three men.
"He pulled out his Madison Police Department intern

identification, said he was an undercover Madison Police
Department detective, pointed his index finger with his
thumb up, like a gun, at the men, and ordered them to the
ground," Radovan said in the incident report.
Lehman then pulled out his cell phone and called for backup before
grabbing one of the men, throwing him to the ground.
"Shortly thereafter Lehman told them they could leave, saying they
were lucky, and he'll let the situation go at this time," Radovan said.
Officers made contact with Lehman a short time later and took him
to jail.
"It is anticipated his internship will be ending," Radovan said.

I'm sure this "disciplinary" action is an act that is purely for

HTR sues for missing portion of Manitowoc officer's 'Last Chance

Agreement'

MANITOWOC — The Herald Times Reporter is suing the city of

Manitowoc to gain access to the full disciplinary record of a
police officer convicted of drunken driving after her car
became stuck in a snow bank while her blood alcohol
content was 0.31 — almost four times the legal limit.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Manitowoc County Circuit Court. It

asks the court to compel the city to provide the HTR with a
complete copy of the "Last Chance Agreement" negotiated between
Officer Michaelyn Culligan, the police union and Police Chief Tony
Dick, on behalf of the city. Parties to the agreement signed it in mid-
April.
The HTR submitted a request for the officer's personnel file on June
11. On July 10, City Attorney Juliana M. Ruenzel notified the
newspaper that the documents were available. The newspaper
paid the $13.50 copying fee for 54 pages of documents,
including the five-page "Last Chance Agreement." But
paragraphs numbered 1 through 4 and parts of paragraphs 5
and 6 and all of paragraph 9 were missing from the 14-point
agreement.
The city violated Wisconsin's Open Records Law "by

withholding the redacted portions of the 'Last Chance
Agreement' and failing to provide a written explanation for
withholding that information," according to the lawsuit filed
by Robert Dreps of the Madison office of Godfrey & Kahn, the
law firm representing the HTR.
The incident involving Culligan, 40, occurred March 2 in Two

Rivers. Because her husband is a patrol officer with the Two Rivers
Police Department, the sheriff's department was called to handle
the arrest, Sheriff Rob Hermann said.
Culligan has been with the Manitowoc Police Department

since 1998. At the time of her arrest, she served as the
department's Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer and
as a director of the Wisconsin D.A.R.E. Association. Local D.A.
R.E. officers work closely with schools in educating young
people about the dangers of drugs.
In April, she pleaded no contest to first-offense OWI. She

was ordered to pay $803 in fines and undergo an alcohol
assessment. Her driver's license was revoked for eight
months.
Portions of the "Last Chance Agreement" that were not withheld

from the HTR imposed a 15-day, unpaid suspension on Culligan,
with no more than three days of the suspension to be served per
month. She acknowledged that by driving drunk, she had "engaged
in serious acts of misconduct."
She has been assigned to patrol duty and no longer serves as the
department's D.A.R.E. officer, Deputy Chief Bridget Brennan said.
Culligan is required to maintain an occupational license while her
driver's license is suspended.
Assistant City Attorney Kathleen McDaniel declined to comment

Thursday afternoon, citing the pending litigation.
"One-third of the disciplinary agreement was withheld without

explanation," said Steve Reed, editor of the newspaper. "The public

is entitled to know the full extent of the disciplinary action taken
and to know why this first-offense OWI resulted in 'last chance'
punishment for this officer."

COLUMBUS - A former Zanesville Police officer who has been
indicted on federal charges is asking a federal judge to hold a bond
hearing and for his trial, scheduled to begin Dec. 10, to be delayed,
according to court records.
Sean Beck, 28, was indicted Oct. 25 by a federal grand jury in

Columbus on two counts of drug trafficking in Percocet, three
counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a drug

trafficking crime and one count of conspiracy to traffic drugs.
Beck has been at the Franklin County Jail since his arrest Oct. 1 at
the Zanesville Police Department. Arrested along with Beck was
former police officer Trevor Fusner, 31, who has not been indicted
by a federal grand jury at this point, but has been charged with one
count of conspiracy to distribute drugs. Also arrested was Chad
Mills, a former Genesis HealthCare Systems Police officer who was
also charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute drugs. The
government has until Nov. 30 to indict Mills, court records show.
Both Mills and Fusner are currently on house arrest with electronic
monitoring devices. The Ohio U.S. Attorney's Office has until Nov.
30 to bring indictments on the pair, according to court records.
Beck is now asking that he have a bond hearing, which he initially

waived Oct. 9.
According to court documents filed by Beck's defense attorney, J.

Scott Weisman, evidence of Beck's background were not present at
the first court hearing and his background includes a "law abiding
life, of which the last several years were in different law
enforcement capacities."
"His strong family ties to the central Ohio area, Zanesville where his
parents, grandparents, sister and son all reside," are also included
in the motion.
Beck is not considered a "flight risk as evidenced by his strong ties

to the area and a poor financial situation that the government can
attest to through their own investigation," Weisman stated.
Weisman is also asking that the trial be delayed due to his

involvement in two Franklin County death penalty cases.
One of those trials is scheduled for Dec. 3 while the other is

scheduled for Jan. 11, 2008.
Stating he has a busy trial schedule, he needs more time to give

Beck's case the proper attention, Weisman stated.
According to Weisman, he has had some negotiations with the U.S.

Attorney's Office and those discussions, as well as additional
exchange of information, will continue.
Weisman stated that the discussions have been concerning Beck's

responsibility surrounding the charges, although plea negotiations
have begun.
Weisman is asking that Beck, if released on bond, would also be

subject to electronic monitoring, which would "be adequate to
assure his appearance for trial and simultaneously monitor his
activities."
The trial should be scheduled after March 1, 2008 due to his other

commitments, Weisman stated.
The trafficking in Percocet charges occurred on Aug. 16 and Aug.

22, court documents show, when Beck was in possession of the
drugs.
The conspiracy charge is related to events in August and September

when authorities said Beck conspired to set up an illegal drug
shipment of a kilo of cocaine so that he could use his police
authority to seize the drugs and split the proceeds with another
individual.
On Sept. 18, Beck accepted $1,000 from an individual as an

"advance" on the anticipated shipment of cocaine, according to the
indictment. On Sept. 25, Beck and co-conspirators met at the
Mount Calvary Cemetery in Zanesville and planned to conduct a
false police "raid" on the delivery of the cocaine. Beck wore
undercover police clothing, a bulletproof vest, a "POLICE" T-shirt
and carried his service weapon.
If convicted of all charges, Beck faces up to 60 years in prison,

according to the prosecution.

COLUMBUS - A former Zanesville police officer will appear in a

federal court Friday to ask a judge to be let out of jail while he
awaits his trial next year.
Sean Beck, 28, was indicted on six federal charges Oct. 25 after his
arrest earlier that month at the Zanesville Police Department.
Beck has been incarcerated at the Franklin County Jail since his
arrest and pleaded not guilty to the charges. His trial was originally
scheduled for Dec. 10.
But due to his Columbus defense attorney, J. Scott Weisman having

scheduling conflicts -Weisman has two death penalty cases in the
next few months - Judge Edmund Sargus Jr. granted a motion to
delay Beck's trial until after March 1, 2008.
Sargus did note in his order that the length of the requested
continuance is long and no other continuances will be granted in the
case.
Beck will appear before Judge Terence P. Kemp Friday regarding his
bond hearing.
Beck waived a bond hearing Oct. 9, but the motion filed by

Weisman now states that evidence of Beck's background was not
present at the first court hearing and his background includes a
"law-abiding life, of which the last several years were in different
law enforcement capacities."
"His strong family ties to the central Ohio area, Zanesville where his
parents, grandparents, sister and son all reside" are also included in
the motion.
Beck is not considered a "flight risk as evidenced by his strong ties

to the area and a poor financial situation that the government can
attest to through their own investigation," Weisman stated.
Beck was indicted on two counts of drug trafficking in Percocet,

three counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a drug
Also arrested along with Beck were former police officer Trevor
Fusner, 31, and former Genesis HealthCare System Police Officer
Chad Mills -both charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute
drugs. Neither has been indicted by a federal grand jury and the U.

S. Attorney's Office has until Friday to indict the two men.
Both Mills and Fusner are currently out on bond and are on house
arrest with electronic monitoring devices.

COLUMBUS - A federal investigator revealed details of his
investigation into former Zanesville Police Officer Sean Beck during
a bond hearing on Friday.
Beck, 28, was described as a "threat to the community of Zanesville

with a total disrespect for the legal system," by U.S. Attorney
Michael Marous.
But Beck's attorney, J. Scott Weisman, asked Judge Terrance Kemp

to allow his client out on bail because he is no position to flee and
has strong family support.
Weisman asked that Beck be allowed to have a reasonable bond,

and live at his parents' home in Zanesville while wearing electronic
monitoring equipment.

Beck was indicted Oct. 25 on six federal charges - two counts of

drug trafficking in Percocet, three counts of possession of a firearm
in the commission of a drug trafficking crime and one count of
conspiracy to distribute drugs.
Kemp took statements made at a bond hearing into consideration

and is expected to make a ruling next week, possibly by Tuesday.
In an effort to keep Beck in the Franklin County Jail, where he has

been since his arrest on Oct. 1, Marous called Special Agent Drew
McConaghy of the Federal Bureau of Investigations to testify.
McConaghy testifed about Beck's activities that led to his arrest.
McConaghy told the judge that during his investigation Beck

stopped a car off Ridge Avenue on Aug. 16.
Beck pulled the car over for a traffic violation, McConaghy said, and
called in the stop to the police department to make sure it was
recorded.
"But he took the drugs that he discovered were in the car and gave
those drugs to a cooperative witness to sell on Aug. 22,"
McConaghy said. "He did it while he was acting as a police officer
and while he was armed with his weapon."
Beck gave the witness 40 Percocet pills, McConaghy said.
On Sept. 25, Beck had early morning conversations with the

witness regarding a trip to Columbus to set up a drug deal where
Beck and his co-defendants, former police officer Trevor Fusner and
former Genesis HealthCare Systems police officer Chad Mills, would
rob a person bringing a kilo of cocaine to Zanesville, according to
McConaghy.
But, when the plan failed, Beck got increasingly angry and became
verbally abusive over the next few days, making threats against the
witness and his family, McConaghy said.
Weisman countered by stating that Beck has family he could live

with until his trial in 2008 and that discussions with the government
may mean Beck would not be looking at a 60-year prison sentence.
"Sean is not in any financial position to flee," Weisman said. "His

finances are a mess. His family - his parents, his grandparents and
his sisters - all stand strongly behind him."
Weisman also said Beck's family is willing to put up a reasonable

bond and has already made preparations in their home in case
Kemp would order electronic monitoring.
Kemp said he would take both sides' arguments under advisement

and would probably be issuing an order early next week, possibly
by Tuesday.

Beck, Fusner and Mills were arrested within minutes of each other
Oct. 1 by FBI agents and officials with the Zanesville Police
Department and the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office.
Fusner and Mills, who have not been indicted, are currently out on
their own recognizance and under house arrest with electronic
monitoring devices.

Former Zanesville cop to remain in jail until March trial


Posts: 31403
COLUMBUS - A former Zanesville police officer has to stay in jail
until his trial in March, a federal judge ruled Tuesday because of the
severity of the charges.
Sean Beck, 28, was indicted by a federal grand jury Oct. 25 on six
federal charges - two counts of drug trafficking in Percocet, three
counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a drug
On Friday Beck was in Judge Terrance Kemp's court asking to be

allowed out of the Franklin County Jail on bond to await his trial.

According to Kemp's ruling, he took into consideration that the

charges had risen out of a pattern of criminal activity involving the
seizure of drugs and re-distribution of those drugs from suspected
drug traffickers in the Zanesville area and a plan to obtain
additional drugs by stealing them from a drug supplier.
Beck was "armed during many, if not all, of these transactions,"

Kemp stated. "Both the drug charges and the firearms charges in
the indictment carry a presumption that the defendant is both a
danger to the community and a flight risk."
The U.S. Attorney's Office is pleased with the ruling, according to

spokesperson Fred Alverson.
"Now we'll move through the pretrial process and prepare for trial
in March," Alverson said.
Beck's defense attorney, J. Scott Weisman, told Kemp on Friday

that his client was in no position to flee and has strong family
support.
Weisman could not be reached for comment on the ruling.
Kemp decided that the case against Beck is "strong and he engaged
in multiple acts inconsistent with his position as a sworn police
officer."
The Pretrial Service Report, which recommended release of Beck,

was generally favorable and stated that Beck had a good
employment history with the police department, substantial ties to
the central Ohio area, and he lacked a criminal record. But Kemp
felt the multiple charges, the strength of the evidence and the
amount of time Beck faces if convicted, outweighed the
recommendation.
"This case does involve both narcotics and weapons," Kemp wrote.
"The misuse of authority and disregard for the law demonstrated by
a sworn police officer are very troubling and are an indication that
the defendant would not be likely to abide by conditions of release
if they were set in this case."
Kemp also took into consideration taped conversations Beck had

with a witness, which he wrote contained "veiled threats." The
taped conversations were played during Friday's hearing.
Beck can ask for a review of Kemp's ruling, court records show.

Unsealed documents outline deals with Fusner, Mills

Two former Zanesville officers have agreed to plead guilty and

testify against a third officer who is facing federal drug charges.
Former Zanesville Police Officer Trevor Fusner and Genesis

HealthCare Systems Police Officer Chad Mills have reached
plea deals with the federal government, which will results in
at least 10 years in prison for the pair. The two will testify
against former ZPD officer Sean Beck, who is still facing
charges, and any other law enforcement officials who are
engaging in illegal activities, according to the plea
agreement.
A federal judge unsealed details of the plea agreements Thursday.
Mills and Fusner pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to

distribute cocaine and one count of carrying a firearm during a drug
trafficking crime.
Both were arrested along with Beck Oct. 1, 2007, by agents with
the FBI and Muskingum County Sheriff's Office deputies and
charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
Fred Alverson, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in

Columbus, said the pair are facing a mandatory five years for the
conspiracy charge and a mandatory sentence of five years for the
weapons charge. The pair could face up to 40 years in prison and
each would be fined $2 million, according to court papers.

They will additionally face up to five years supervised release and

fines for the conspiracy charge, and three years supervised release
and fines for the weapons charge.
A presentence investigation has been ordered although no

sentencing date has yet been set. The presentence investigation
report has been ordered to be sent to the court by Feb. 25.
Zanesville Police Chief Eric Lambes said it is "the best outcome for
everyone."
"This allows the community to move beyond the unfortunate

incident," Lambes said. "If we're lucky the remaining person,
meaning Beck, will do likewise."
The timeline outlined in the Statement of Facts released by the U.S.

Attorney's Office include:
# August 2007: A confidential witness went to the sheriff's office

and the FBI reporting that Beck demanded and received money
from the witness in exchange for Beck not reporting the witness'
drug activity.
# Aug. 22: The witness, an admitted drug dealer, began to work as

an undercover agent for the agencies and was able to record Beck
on numerous occasions discussing illegal activity.
# Aug. 30: Beck contacted the witness to arrange a meeting where

a plan was discussed to set up an illegal drug shipment of a kilo of
cocaine to Zanesville so Beck could steal it.
# Sept. 24: The witness told Beck he would have a supplier deliver
the kilo and that Beck had to meet the supplier in Columbus and
give him $2,500 in advance. Beck told the witness he would have
Mills drive the witness to Columbus. Beck then got Mills and Fusner
to assist him in his plan to steal the drugs.
# Sept. 25: Mills drove the witness to Columbus to meet with the
supplier. Mills dropped the witness off at a hotel in Columbus and
waited in the car while the witness gave the FBI the money.
Beck, Mills, Fusner and the witness then met at the Mount Calvary
Cemetery where they planned the "raid." Fusner, Mills and Beck
were all armed at the time.
During the meeting, Beck told Fusner to hide behind a tree on the
hillside were he would be able to see the drug transaction and when
the supplier gave the cocaine to the witness, Fusner would signal
Beck and Mills, who were waiting on the road.
Beck would then drive his car into the meeting, block in the
supplier's car and Beck, Fusner and Mills would draw their weapons
and remove the witness and the supplier.

Once the cocaine was seized, Beck would tell the witness and
supplier to leave town.
Beck was indicted on two counts of drug trafficking in Percocet,

three counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a drug
trafficking crime and one count of conspiracy to traffic drugs. He
remains at the Franklin County Jail until his trial.
Beck has entered not guilty pleas to six federal drug charges and is
scheduled to go to trial next month.

COLUMBUS - A former Zanesville Police officer and a former

Genesis HealthCare Systems Police officer have their sentencing
dates in court scheduled for federal drug charges.
Chad Mills, a former hospital police officer, and Trevor Fusner, a

former Zanesville police officer, entered into plea agreements
earlier this month with the U.S. Attorney's Office. They entered
guilty pleas to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and one
count of carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.
Mills is scheduled to appear in federal court March 27 while Fusner

is scheduled to appear April 3.
Both are being sentenced after the scheduled trial of a third officer,
Sean Beck, which is March 3.
Beck has been indicted on six federal counts - two counts of drug
trafficking in Percocet, three counts of possession of a firearm in
the commission of a drug trafficking crime and one count of
conspiracy to traffic drugs.
According to Fred Alverson, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's

Office, Fusner and Mills are facing a mandatory five years for the
conspiracy charge and a mandatory sentence of five years for the
weapons charge. Mills and Fusner could face up to 40 years in
prison and be fined $2 million, court documents show.
The pair will additionally face up to five years of supervised release

and fines for the conspiracy charge, and three years supervised
release and fines for the weapons charge.
Both were arrested along with Beck on Oct. 1, 2007, by agents with
the FBI and the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office deputies. Beck
remains in the Franklin County Jail while Fusner and Mills were
released on house arrest until their sentencing.
Mills and Fusner also have agreed to testify against Beck and any
other law enforcement officer who has been involved in illegal
activities, court papers show.
The three were all arrested after it was discovered they were
planning on ripping off a drug dealer of a kilo of cocaine in a fake
"SWAT" arrest.

The planned "raid" was to be held at the Mount Calvary Cemetery

where Beck told Fusner to hide behind a tree on the hillside where
he would be able to see the drug dealer from Columbus give the
cocaine to a confidential witness the FBI was using.
Fusner would signal Beck and Mills, who would be waiting on the
road.
Beck was to then drive his car into the meeting, block in the
supplier's car and the three would draw their weapons and remove
the witness and the dealer.
Once the cocaine was seized, Beck would tell the witness and dealer
to leave town.
The dealer never showed up in Zanesville and the three were

arrested shortly afterward.

Former cop gets trial moved to June


Posts: 31403
COLUMBUS - A former Zanesville cop was granted a motion to have
his trial moved from the first part of April to May, according to
federal court records.
Sean Beck, who was arrested by FBI agents on Oct. 1, 2007, asked
that his trial be continued while his attorney, Terry Sherman, has
time to review the audio and video tapes he received from the U.S.
Attorney's Office.
According to court records, the prosecution did not oppose the

motion and Judge Edmund A. Sargus set the new trial for May 19.
Also being continued are the sentencing dates for former Zanesville
police officer Trevor Fusner and former Genesis HealthCare Systems
Police officer Chad Mill. Fusner and Beck were arrested along with
Beck in October.
Both are scheduled to be sentenced June 12.
Beck was indicted by a federal grand jury Oct. 25, 2007 on six
charges- two counts of trafficking in Percocet, one count of
conspiracy and three counts of possession of a firearm during a
drug crime.
Fusner and Mills have reached plea agreements with the U.S.
Attorney's Office and entered pleas of guilty to one count of
conspiracy to distribute cocaine and one count of carrying a firearm
during a drug trafficking crime.
Both have agreed to testify against Beck and any other law
enforcement officer engaged in illegal activities, according to the
plea agreement.
The pair are facing a mandatory five years for the conspiracy
charge and a mandatory sentence of five years for the weapons
charge. They face up to 40 years in prison and a fine of $2 million,
according to court papers.

fines for the conspiracy charge and three years supervised release

Beck faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
Beck remains in the Franklin County Jail while Fusner and Mills have
been ordered to house arrest with electronic monitoring.

Posts: 31403 A former Zanesville police officer accused of masterminding a plot
to steal and sell cocaine has agreed to plead guilty to the charges,
according to federal court documents.
Sean Beck, 29, is scheduled for a change of plea hearing at 3 p.m.

Thursday at the U.S. District Court in Columbus.
Beck, fellow Zanesville officer Trevor Fusner, 31, and Chad Mills II,
30, were arrested Oct.1 on charges of planning to steal a kilo of
cocaine from a Columbus drug dealer and sell it locally.
Beck and Fusner resigned from the force shortly after their arrest.
Beck had been extorting money from a drug dealer in Zanesville

when he hatched the plan to lure another drug dealer from

Columbus and rob him at gunpoint wearing "SWAT style" police

uniforms, according to a federal affidavit.
The three were arrested after a federal investigation. Fusner and

Mills both pleaded guilty in February and have been released on
electronic monitoring.
They are scheduled to be sentenced June 12, and face up to 45

years in prison.
Beck, who has been held in the Franklin County jail since his arrest,

The Columbus Dispatch
A former Zanesville police officer accused of hatching an elaborate

plot to steal more than two pounds of cocaine from a Columbus
drug dealer and sell it in Muskingum County has been sentenced to
20 years in prison.
Sean Beck, 30, was arrested Oct. 1, 2007, along with another
Zanesville officer and an officer with a Zanesville hospital system.
Beck had been extorting money from a local drug dealer

when he masterminded the plot to lure another dealer from

Columbus and rob him at gunpoint wearing "SWAT-style"
police uniforms, according to a federal affidavit.
He pleaded guilty last year to two of the six charges against

him, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine
and having a firearm during a drug crime, but the case has
been held up for more than a year while he sought to rescind
the pleas.
In a handwritten letter to U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus,

Beck contended that both of the attorneys who have represented
him in the case have refused to let him see the evidence against
him. He says he was pressured into agreeing to the plea deal.
He withdrew his motion to withdraw his plea this morning.
In exchange for his plea, the U.S. attorney's office recommended

that Beck spend 20 years behind bars. The two counts carried a
maximum sentence of 45 years in prison.
The other officers were sentenced last year to more than 6 years in
prison each for their roles in the plot.

Alexandria police chief faces DUI charge

Breathalyzer test reported at .19
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...-on-dui-charge/

Alexandria police Chief David P. Baker, who was arrested
Saturday night on a DUI charge, was placed on administrative leave
Sunday, and his purported .19 blood alcohol content means
the consequences may be just beginning -- mandatory jail
time, loss of driver's license and possible lawsuits against
the city.
Alexandria City Manager James K. Hartmann imposed the

immediate sanction on Chief Baker pending an internal investigation

of the arrest in a late-night two-car crash Saturday in Arlington that
sent both drivers to the hospital.
Mr. Hartmann elevated Deputy Police Chief Earl Cook to acting

police chief, effective immediately.
According to Arlington County police, Chief Baker, who has

held his post for three years and served almost 20 years in
the department, took a Breathalyzer test that registered his
blood alcohol content (BAC) at .19, more than twice
Virginia's legal limit of .08.
The chief faces serious consequences under Virginia's tough

drunken-driving laws, including up to 12 months in jail, a one-year
suspension of his driver's license and mandatory alcohol safety
classes.
"It's a high BAC accident with injuries caused by an allegedly drunk

driver in a state that's serious about drunk driving, that's caused by
a law enforcement officer," said Thad Furlong, a retired police
officer now working with Bose Law Firm LLC, which specializes in
drunken-driving cases. "I would say that's the perfect storm."
Because Chief Baker is accused of blowing above .15 BAC --

Virginia's threshold for a series of stiffer penalties -- any guilty
verdict will require him to serve five days in jail, pay a $250 fine
and lose his license for 12 months, Mr. Furlong said.
A blood alcohol content of .19 would leave most people

"seriously impaired" and would indicate that the person did
not simply misjudge his alcohol tolerance, said the lawyer,
who is not officially involved in the case.
"You would most likely feel it. It's not like you're walking around
with a warm glow," Mr. Furlong said.
The two-car accident, in which Chief Baker was driving an

unmarked city-issued Ford Explorer, took place at the 4700
block of North Fairfax Drive, near an on-ramp to Interstate
66, said Detective Crystal Nosal, an Arlington police
spokeswoman.
The city of Alexandria could be sued by the other vehicle's driver for
damages if it is determined that Chief Baker was using the
government-issued car in the crash on official business, Mr. Furlong
said.
The driver was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released.
Police did not release information about the other driver.
If the results of the Breathalyzer test hold up in court, Chief Baker

will have to attend mandatory Alcohol Safety Action Program
classes to determine whether he has a pattern of drinking

excessively.
Even after a convicted Chief Baker would become eligible to have

his license restored, the license would have as a condition for a
further six months that he drive only vehicles equipped with
ignition-interlock devices. These electronic gadgets prevent the car
from being started unless the driver blows into a tube that
determines whether he or she is legally intoxicated.
Chief Baker coordinated a sobriety checkpoint for Alexandria in

June, and alerted drivers in a press release about the stiff penalties
faced for being charged with driving under the influence.
"This is a sad day for us," Alexandria Mayor William D. Euille said at
a Sunday press conference surrounded by other city officials,
including Mr. Hartmann and the interim chief.
"It's very disappointing, obviously, when any of our colleagues

makes a bad decision that comes to a conclusion such as this," Mr.
Hartmann said.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Alexandria's police chief is facing drunken

driving charges.
City officials say David Baker was arrested after he was involved in
a car crash late Saturday in an unmarked city vehicle. His blood-
alcohol level was 0.19, more than twice the legal threshold for
drunken driving.
Baker has been placed on administrative leave. Deputy Police Chief

Earl Cook will serve as acting chief.
City Manager James Hartmann describes the arrest of Baker as

"very disappointing." He says he will wait for an internal review
before deciding whether to fire Baker.
The 58-year-old Baker has been with the Alexandria department for
19 years and was a D.C. police officer for 21 years before that.
Court records in Arlington County, where the crash occurred, list no

attorney for Baker. There was no answer at a telephone number for
Baker.

On Arrest, Alexandria Chief Failed 4 DUI Tests

Baker Expresses Regret In Statement to Officers

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
When Arlington police arrived at the crash involving Alexandria

Police Chief David P. Baker on Saturday night, an officer smelled a
strong odor of alcohol and noticed that Baker's speech was
"repetitive and hesitant," according to a criminal complaint.
Baker, who is on administrative leave, failed four field sobriety

tests: the nine-step walk and turn, the 30-second leg lift, counting
backwards and saying the alphabet, the complaint says.
Just after midnight, about two hours after the accident, Baker took
a breath test, which registered a blood alcohol level of 0.19, more
than twice the legal limit of 0.08. The crash sent the other driver to
the hospital with whiplash and back pain, authorities said.
Baker, who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 210 pounds, told police that he
had two beers about 20 minutes before the accident, the report
said. When the arresting officer asked where Baker had been earlier
that night, Baker's answer was unclear, according to a law
enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because
the case is pending.
Baker, 58, was charged with driving under the influence, a

misdemeanor that is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a
fine of as much as $2,500. According to Virginia law, if he is
convicted of driving with a blood alcohol level of more than 0.15, he
must spend a minimum of five days in jail. His arrest warrant says
this was his first offense. He is due in court Wednesday.
City Manager James K. Hartmann placed Baker on administrative

leave. He will continue collecting his annual salary of $145,309.
Deputy Police Chief Earl Cook, a 30-year veteran of the

department, was named acting chief.
Hartmann ordered an internal investigation, which will be conducted

by Alexandria's human resources department and the city
attorney's office. He said that he expects the investigation to be
complete by the end of the week and that he will probably decide
then whether Baker will keep his job.
Hartmann said that Baker's whereabouts before the crash would be

part of the investigation but added that Baker had not been at an
official city function before the accident.

Baker released this statement to his officers yesterday: "While I can

only imagine the disappointment you feel, I want you to know how
proud I am of each of you, how privileged I am to work side by side
with you and how disappointed and angry I am with myself."
Steve Mason, Hartmann's special assistant, is a close friend of

Baker's and has been acting as the family's spokesman.
"He's hurt because of how he feels he let down the men and women
of the Alexandria Police Department and the community in general,"
Mason said.
Mason, who is a senior manager in the city's human resources

department, said he has removed himself from the investigation
because of his friendship with Baker. City officials confirmed that
Mason will not be part of the probe.
Baker's attorney, James Clark, said that Baker is aware that he is

the public face of law enforcement in the city, but added that Baker
hopes to keep his job.
"A lot of people think it would be an injustice to judge him on the

worst half hour of his life and disregard 40 years of exemplary
service," Clark said.
The accident occurred near Interstate 66 and North Fairfax Drive in

Arlington. Baker, driving a city-issued green Ford Explorer, tried to
merge onto I-66. Baker, who was alone in his car, is listed on the
accident report as the at-fault driver, authorities said.
Police would not identify the other driver except to say she is a
woman. The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment and was
released. Officials estimated that each car sustained about $900 in
damage.
Baker did not have his police-issued firearm with him because he
had been out of town on a beach vacation the previous week and
left his pistol locked in his office, authorities said.
Ryan Staab, president of the Alexandria Police Association, a social

network of police officers, said the association has always had a
good relationship with Baker and stands by him now.
"We support him and his family during this unfortunate incident,"
Staab said.
Upon his arrest Saturday, Alexandria Police Chief David P.

Baker had a blood alcohol level of .19 and had failed four
sobriety tests, police say. (Courtesy Of Arlington County

A Police Chief, DUI

Alexandria's top cop and the consequences of bad judgment
Thursday, July 30, 2009
Registered: May 2008 FRIENDS AND colleagues of Alexandria Police Chief David P. Baker
Location: depict his arrest for drunken driving last weekend, and the
Posts: 4804 preceding accident and injury he apparently caused on the highway,
as an unfortunate slip by a respected professional. Mr. Baker, for
his part, professes to feel "disappointed and angry with myself," as
he said in a statement.
In fact, Mr. Baker's act was worse than a slip and more than
a disappointment. It was, by all appearances, a dangerous
and very nearly lethal crime committed by a man whose job
description involves preventing such crimes. He did the right
thing by tendering his resignation Tuesday.
Drunk drivers are a public menace; they can and frequently do

injure, maim and kill. It was only by luck that Mr. Baker did not kill
the woman whose car he apparently hit while merging onto
Interstate 66 in Arlington; as it was, she had to be treated at a
hospital for whiplash.
Mr. Baker's blood alcohol level, according to court

documents, was almost two and a half times the legal limit --
and that result was rendered two hours after the accident.
His apparently slurred remark to the arresting officer -- that
he had downed a couple of beers -- is highly dubious. With a
blood alcohol level of .19 (Virginia's legal limit is .08), Mr.
Baker would have had to have had much, much more to
drink than a couple of beers. (According to standard charts,
a man of Mr. Baker's weight, 210 pounds, would need 10
drinks to reach a blood alcohol level of .19.) So on top of
getting behind the wheel in an impaired state, and then,
after the accident, failing a battery of sobriety tests, Mr.
Baker seems to have lied to the cops.
Mr. Baker is not the first police chief to get pulled over for
drunken driving. Others, elsewhere, have made a habit of
trying to cling to their jobs, ignoring the fact that they have
sacrificed all professional and moral authority by their
actions. Whether he was pushed to quit or simply jumped,
Mr. Baker's resignation suggests he has better judgment
than he showed Saturday night.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Three Indianapolis police officers face federal

drug trafficking charges. Prosecutors say they stole money and
marijuana while on duty and then sold the drugs through a third
party.
The FBI arrested 34-year-old Robert Long, 37-year-old Jason

Edwards and 33-year-old James Davis. Long and Edwards

worked in the department's narcotics unit, while Davis was a patrol

officer. The three are in custody, and Indianapolis Police Chief
Michael Spears says he's "disgusted and outraged" by their alleged
conduct.
The three were indicted on charges of conspiracy to possess with

intent to distribute more than 50 kilograms of marijuana, and
possession and attempted possession of marijuana with intent to
distribute. They also face firearms charges. An indictment unsealed
today refers to Long, a narcotics detective, as the ringleader.
A detention hearing is scheduled for next Monday.

Arrests prompt IMPD action

Call for random polygraphs follows bust of 3 officers
Registered: Jul 2003 By Vic Ryckaert

Allegations that three of his officers used their badges to steal from
drug dealers prompted IMPD Chief Michael Spears to announce
plans Tuesday to conduct random polygraph tests on all narcotics
investigators.
"We want to maintain the highest integrity within these specialized

units," Spears said.
Polygraph tests for officers in narcotics and other specialized units,

such as vice, were eliminated two years ago with the formation of
the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Spears said. He
said they had been standard practice under the former Indianapolis

Police Department.
"A check and balance is important, and we're going to move

forward with that," Spears said.
The polygraphs are an effort to prevent future embarrassments like

Monday's FBI arrests of officers Robert B. Long, Jason P. Edwards
and James D. Davis. Prosecutors say the officers stole cash and
marijuana from drug dealers and resold the drugs through an
Eastside music store.
Bill Owensby, president of the local Fraternal Order of Police

chapter, said the union opposes polygraphs but is willing to work
with department officials to come up with an acceptable policy.
"If it's something random, like the urine draw, we may be able to
live with that," Owensby said.
The department routinely conducts random drug tests of all officers

to ensure they do not abuse drugs. Under that policy, selected
officers are contacted during their shifts and ordered to report to a
clinic for a test within 45 minutes.
Spears said he was "disgusted" and "outraged" by the conduct of

the officers who were arrested but proud that the information that
launched the FBI probe came from other IMPD officers.
U.S. Attorney Timothy M. Morrison accused Long, 34;

Edwards, 37; Davis, 33; and music store owner Kabec
Higgins, 31, of conspiracy to deal drugs and other crimes.
The four men appeared in U.S. District Court for initial
hearings, and records show they were held Tuesday in the
Marion County Jail on federal charges.
"This is a sad day for law enforcement," Morrison said. "Not only did
these men allegedly violate drug laws, but they reduced the
reservoir of trust between the public and the police."
Edwards, Davis and Long used police vehicles and were in uniform
when they broke into private property to steal drugs and cash,
Morrison said.
The men used their badges to intercept parcels and gain access to
suspected stash houses, prosecutors say, in one case producing a
bogus search warrant to obtain a key for a unit in the Country Club
Apartments, near Troy Avenue and Brill Street.
Federal wiretaps captured telephone conversations in which the

three officers and Higgins discussed their crimes, according to an
18-page indictment.
Edwards and Long are assigned to IMPD's dangerous drug unit.

Davis is a patrol officer assigned to the Northwest District. Spears
said he would seek to have them fired.

Long and Edwards were appointed to the Indianapolis Police

Department in 1999 and graduated in the same recruit class. Davis
was appointed to the Marion County Sheriff's Department in 2004.
Edwards has been suspended without pay since his arrest in March
on theft and forgery charges.
Prosecutors say Edwards stole a money order while serving a

search warrant at a Far-Southside home. He later forged his name
and cashed the money order for $725, prosecutors say.
Long has no prior disciplinary record. Edwards' only past discipline

stems from the theft allegations in March. Davis was suspended for
two days in 2005 after he failed to remove a knife from a suspect
he arrested.
Call Star reporter Vic Ryckaert at (317) 444-2761.
RELATED INFORMATION
WHAT THEY'RE ACCUSED OF
Three Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were

jailed Tuesday in connection with an FBI probe into a marijuana-
dealing operation. Here are some of the allegations included in the
18-page indictment against Jason P. Edwards, 37; James D. Davis,
33; and Robert B. Long, 34:
» March 19, 2008: Long and Davis stole $20,000 from a suspected
drug dealer.
» April 21: Long telephoned Kabec Higgins, 31, to warn him that
detectives were planning to search his business, Ear Candy Muzik,
3009 N. Sherman Drive.
» April 25: Long and Edwards seized a FedEx package that

contained about 13 pounds of marijuana, skimming about 8 pounds
for themselves and turning about 5 pounds over to the
department's property room. Higgins sold the 8 pounds of
marijuana for $4,000.
» May 13: Long stole about 30 pounds of marijuana from a 50-

pound package in a UPS shipment and gave the drugs to Higgins to
sell.
» May 27--30: Edwards, Long and Davis conspired to falsify a

search warrant, obtain a key and enter a unit at the Country Club
Apartments, where they believed a drug dealer had stashed a large
amount of cash. The men didn't find drugs or money but kept the
key for future searches.
» June 4: Edwards, Long and Davis broke into a vacant home in the
2200 block of North Kenwood Avenue and stole $18,300 and 5
pounds of marijuana stashed behind the false wall of a closet.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A federal grand jury has indicted four

Indianapolis men for drug trafficking. Three of them are IMPD police
officers.
The federal investigation began back in March. It took several

months of surveillance and phone tapes to build the case.
However, FBI agents believe the officers may have been dealing
drugs for at least a year.
The FBI said IMPD narcotics detective 34-year-old Robert Long was
the ring leader.
Court documents say Long, while in uniform, picked up a Fed-Ex

package containing about a dozen pounds of pot.
Investigators said fellow narcotics detective 37-year-old Jason

Edwards hid the drugs in his garage.
Investigators say less than a month later, Long, again on-duty,

picked up a UPS package containing 50 pounds of pot.
Long checked 20 pounds into evidence, but investigators say he

kept the rest.
A few weeks later, investigators say Long and patrol officer 33-year-
old James Davis broke into an apartment using a forged warrant.
Long, Edwards and Davis thought there were drugs in the

apartment, but they didn't find any.
Then earlier this month, the three broke into an abandoned home
thinking there were hundred of pounds of pot and tens of thousands
of dollars.

Agents say the three found five pounds of pot and more than
$18,000 before wiping down fingerprints and leaving the home.
Investigators say three officers then recruited 31-year-old Kabec

Higgins to distribute the drug and sell drugs from his local business,
Ear Candy Muzik.
"What makes this case significant is that police officers used their
power and authority to stop vehicles, to enter residences to seize
marijuana and cash not for a law enforcement purpose, not to
enforce the law but to make money for themselves," said Timothy
Morrison of U.S. Attorney in Southern District.
Detective Jason Edwards was already suspended from IMPD for a

check forgery arrest back in March.
Now all four men are facing felony conspiracy and trafficking
charges. And the three officers are facing charges for possessing
firearms during the drug offense.

Department had begun process to fire 3 indicted in drug probe
By Kevin O'Neal
Three Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers who are

facing federal drug charges resigned Thursday.
The resignations came after the officers -- Robert B. Long, Jason P.

Edwards and James Davis -- met with police commanders at the
Marion County Jail, where they are being held after their arrests
Monday.
After Deputy Chief William Benjamin and Maj. Lincoln Plowman,

both from the investigations branch, told the three officers they
were being suspended without pay and that the department was
beginning the process to fire them, the three officers handed hand-
written resignations to the commanders, said Sgt. Paul Thompson,
spokesman for IMPD.
"They were presented with the intent to terminate them, and they
decided to quit," said Thompson.
Police Chief Michael Spears had said he wanted to move the

termination process against the officers forward as quickly as
possible, Thompson said.
Along with music store owner Kabec Higgins, 31, narcotics

investigators Long, 34, and Edwards, 37, and patrol Officer Davis,
33, were indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy
to possess with intent to distribute more than 50 kilograms of
marijuana.
The incidents in the indictment happened as recently as two weeks

ago, when the officers broke into a vacant Near-Northside house
and stole cash and marijuana, according to the U.S. attorney's
office. According to the indictment, earlier this year, Long and Davis
robbed a suspected drug dealer; Long tipped Higgins of a search at
his store, Ear Candy Muzik at 30th Street and Sherman Drive; and
Long pilfered part of two shipments of marijuana that was to be
sent to the Police Department's property room.
The officers were in uniform and used police vehicles when they
broke into private property, said U.S. Attorney Timothy M.
Morrison. The drugs allegedly were sold through Higgins' store.
Wiretaps of the four men's phone conversations about the incidents
were mentioned in the federal indictment, which came after a four-
month FBI investigation.

The process of firing the officers would have involved Merit Board
hearings, and the officers could have appealed the results. In
resigning, the officers give up any future pension benefits,
Thompson said.

Ex-officers convicted in drug theft scheme
Associated Press
3:22 PM CDT, June 13, 2009
INDIANAPOLIS
Two former narcotics detectives could face 20 years in

prison after a jury convicted them for their roles in a scheme
to steal marijuana and money from drug dealers.
Robert B. Long, 35, and Jason P. Edwards, 38, were convicted

Friday of conspiracy and drug charges, but jurors acquitted them on
firearms charges.
Although the convictions could bring the former Indianapolis police

officers two decades in prison, the gun charges could have added
up to 55 years of prison time for Long, plus five additional years for
Edwards.
U.S. Attorney Timothy M. Morrison said the jury's verdict "provides

some sense of justice to those people who think law enforcement
personnel are immune from the law."

In a win for prosecutors, the jury found that the drug

conspiracy involved an amount of marijuana above a 50-
kilogram threshold -- about 110 pounds -- that sets a 20-
year maximum sentence, instead of five years.
After two hours of deliberation, the jury convicted Long and

Edwards of conspiracy and several counts of actual or attempted
drug possession with intent to distribute.
Those half-dozen incidents played out under the FBI's watch from
March to June 2008.
Investigators arranged several of the incidents, including a $20,000

shakedown of a drug courier, an intercepted package containing
marijuana and a videotaped theft of marijuana and cash from a
supposed drug house planted there by the FBI.
A third former officer, James D. Davis, 34, has pleaded guilty

to his role and faces 10 to 15 years in prison.
Kevin McShane, Edwards' attorney, said the jury's verdict was fair.
Long's attorneys, Ralph Staples and Jeffrey Mendes, also said they
were pleased by the convictions.
They had challenged the firearms charges in part by arguing that

even when Long carried a gun, it never left his holster and didn't
further the crimes. Edwards, on suspension at the time from the
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, did not have a gun.
"They took advantage of opportunities, and that is what they should

be punished for," Staples said.

Government lawyers asked a federal jury today to convict two
former Indianapolis police narcotics detectives of a drug conspiracy
that aimed to steal hundreds of pounds of marijuana and funnel it
back to the streets.
But defense lawyers, seeking to limit potential sentences,

emphasized that the detectives only actually obtained about 20
pounds of marijuana in the end. That is below the threshold
required on the conspiracy charge to merit a stiffer sentence.
The jury was expected to begin deliberations early this afternoon

after a two-week trial in U.S. District Court.
Robert B. Long, 35, and Jason P. Edwards, 38, also face drug and
firearms possession charges based on a half-dozen schemes that
played out under the FBI's watch last year. The firearms charges
also drew defense challenges today because Long never was seen
drawing his weapon, and Edwards didn't have one -- he was under
suspension at the time from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police
Department.
A conspiracy conviction would carry up to 20 years in prison. But if

jurors find less than 50 kilograms -- or 110 pounds -- of marijuana
was involved in the officers' schemes, the maximum penalty would
be 5 years on that charge. Other charges carry separate potential
penalties.
A third former officer, James D. Davis, has pleaded guilty and

testified against Long and Edwards.
Assistant U.S. attorney Joe Vaughn told the jury that the officers
implicitly used their badges, guns and training to smooth the way
for their crimes.
"You are no longer a law enforcement officer," Vaughn said.

"What are you? Nothing but a thief and a drug dealer who's
wearing a disguise."

Trial of former IMPD cops headed to jury

Range of sentences possible for 2 accused of drug scheme

The 12 men and women have listened to dozens of witnesses,

heard hours of intercepted phone calls and watched a video
showing police officers lifting marijuana and cash from a house.
Today, at the end of a nearly two-week federal corruption trial, the

jurors will begin their solemn task: seeking a verdict in the trial of
two former Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department narcotics
detectives.
The jury's decisions to convict or acquit on a slate of charges could

make the difference between a few years in prison and stiffer
sentences verging on life behind bars -- particularly for Robert B.
Long, called the leader of the conspiracy by government lawyers.
An indictment says Long, 35, and Jason P. Edwards, 38, took part
in a half-dozen schemes to steal drugs and money last year, under
the FBI's watch.
A third officer, James D. Davis, 34, pleaded guilty and testified last
week. His agreement includes 10 to 15 years in prison.
If convicted of all charges, Long could face up to 95 years in prison

at sentencing. Edwards' total exposure is 40 years.
Defense attorneys, acknowledging a mountain of evidence, have

tried to mitigate potential penalties by chipping away at what they
see as shortcomings in a couple of key areas:
How much marijuana?

The lead charge against both men says they conspired to possess
and intended to distribute at least 50 kilograms, or 110 pounds, of
marijuana. But if the jury convicts them and finds a smaller
quantity was involved, the maximum penalty for that charge would
drop from 20 years to five.
Did officers use guns?
In three counts for Long and one for Edwards, the indictment says
they possessed firearms "in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime."
Here is the highest stake for Long: The first firearm conviction tacks
a minimum of five years onto any other prison sentence; a second
and third would add 25 years each -- in Long's case, adding as
much as 55 years.
Defense attorneys will ask for acquittals because Long was never
seen removing his gun from a holster. Edwards, who was under
suspension from IMPD, didn't have a gun with him, though
prosecutors argue he was responsible for his accomplices' weapons.

Two former Indianapolis narcotics detectives face the prospect of
two decades in prison after a jury convicted them Friday in the
city's biggest police corruption case in years.
But the penalties could have been stiffer.
Although Robert P. Long and Jason P. Edwards were convicted of

conspiracy and drug charges for their part in a scheme to steal
marijuana and money from drug dealers, they were acquitted on
firearms charges.
Convictions on the gun charges could have meant 55 years of extra

prison time for Long, 35 -- an effective life sentence -- plus five
additional years for Edwards, 38.
"It's always a sad day when police officers are convicted on federal
charges," U.S. Attorney Timothy M. Morrison said outside the U.S.

District Courthouse in Downtown Indianapolis.
The jury's verdict still will hold the men accountable, Morrison said,
and "provides some sense of justice to those people who think law
enforcement personnel are immune from the law."

The half-dozen incidents played out under the FBI's watch from
March to June 2008. Investigators engineered several of the
incidents, including a $20,000 shakedown of a drug courier, an
intercepted package containing marijuana and a videotaped theft of
marijuana and cash from a supposed drug house, planted there by
the FBI.
A third former officer, James D. Davis, 34, has pleaded guilty to his
role and faces 10 to 15 years in prison.
In court documents, prosecutors also outlined allegations of earlier

graft by Long and Edwards going back years, but the jury was
barred from hearing those claims.
Kevin McShane, Edwards' attorney, said later that the jury's verdict
was fair.
Long's attorneys, Ralph Staples and Jeffrey Mendes, were pleased

by convictions that could result in Long's release by the time his
grandchildren are born.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, didn't have a gun.
"They took advantage of opportunities," Staples said. "And that is

what they should be punished for."
In a win for government lawyers, the jury decided that the drug
conspiracy involved an amount of marijuana above a 50-kilogram
threshold -- about 110 pounds -- that sets a 20-year maximum
sentence, instead of five years.
A grand jury's eight-count indictment of the officers didn't include

actual corruption-related charges. Morrison said federal law is
murkier in such situations than Indiana law, which provides a broad
low-level felony charge of official misconduct.
Before the jury, defense attorneys conceded the mountain of

evidence but protested that investigators let the caper run long
after they had the officers pinched.
McShane compared the case to a movie during his closing argument

Friday. He even suggested a title: "The Last Temptation of Rob and

Jason."
"(The movie) was produced, scripted and directed by FBI

Entertainment, if you will," McShane said. "Robert and Jason were
invited to star in this production, and they agreed -- to their
everlasting regret."

A judge handed down a 10-year prison sentence today to a former
Indianapolis police officer who helped two detectives steal drugs
and money.
Ex-Patrolman James D. Davis, 34, received the minimum allowed

by his plea agreement, which had set a range of 10 to 15 years, in
recognition of his cooperation with federal prosecutors since his
arrest in June 2008. He testified against the other two former
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers for seven
painstaking hours during their two-week trial last month in U.S.
District Court.
Advertisement
Assistant U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler endorsed the leniency for

Davis, maintaining that 10 years still is a harsh sentence and higher
than sentencing guidelines suggest for his crimes.

U.S. District Court Judge Larry J. McKinney sentenced him on a

count of drug conspiracy, two drug dealing counts and a count of
firearm possession.
"I stand here before you a different person today," said Davis, who
said he had set out to be a good cop before being drawn into the
detectives' schemes. "I want to be that person again."
He apologized to family members sitting in the gallery, some of

them sobbing, as well as prosecutors and IMPD.
Unlike inmates in Indiana's state prisons, who typically serve only

half their sentences, federal inmates usually serve about 85 percent
of their terms. All three officers have been locked up since their
arrests.
Former detectives Robert B. Long and Jason P. Edwards, who

were convicted by the jury on multiple conspiracy and drug
counts but acquitted on firearms charges, face up to 20
years in prison each. Sentencing dates have not been set.
This afternoon, McKinney will sentence a fourth defendant, Kabec

Higgins, who was used by the officers to sell marijuana. He also
pleaded guilty and likely will receive a shorter sentence than Davis.
The three officers were accused of a half-dozen incidents that

played out under the FBI's watch from March to June 2008.
Investigators engineered several of them, including a $20,000
shakedown of a drug courier, an intercepted package containing
marijuana, and a videotaped theft of marijuana and cash from a
supposed drug house, planted there by the FBI.

A former Indianapolis patrolman heading to prison for helping two

corrupt detectives steal drugs and money said Thursday that he
hoped to one day earn his integrity back.
A federal judge handed down a 10-year sentence to James

D. Davis for his role in the corruption scandal, the worst to hit
city police in years. Davis said he had sought to serve honorably
before he yielded to temptation and joined the detectives' schemes.
"I'm humiliated. I'm embarrassed," Davis told U.S. District Judge

Larry J. McKinney, adding that he hoped to resume an honest life.
"I want to be that person again."
Davis, 34, had cooperated with the U.S. attorney's office since his
June 2008 arrest. He testified against the two Indianapolis
Metropolitan Police Department detectives for seven hours during
their trial last month. A jury convicted them on multiple conspiracy
and drug counts.
His help led Assistant U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler to endorse the
minimum sentence allowed by his plea agreement, which set the
maximum at 15 years. His sentence includes another three years
on supervised release.
Former narcotics Detectives Robert B. Long and Jason P. Edwards

face up to 20 years in prison each. Their sentencing dates have not
been set.
Later Thursday, McKinney sentenced a fourth defendant, Kabec

Higgins -- used by Long, his cousin, to sell marijuana -- to 15
months in prison and three years on supervised release; he has
nearly fulfilled the prison time already.
The three officers took part in a half-dozen incidents, all playing out
under the FBI's watch from March to June 2008, including a
$20,000 shakedown of a drug courier and a videotaped theft of
marijuana and cash inside a set-up drug house.
Davis had gotten off to a promising start: He played football at

Warren Central High School, married his sweetheart, bought a
suburban home and began raising a son, who now is 11.

His family, however, had been touched by an earlier police scandal.

Indianapolis Patrolman Myron A. Powell -- a former stepfather to
Davis -- was convicted of felony murder for his role as an
accomplice to a 1997 killing of a drug dealer; he is serving a 65-
year prison sentence.
Powell was married to Davis' mother, Alberta Weaver, from 1986 to

1994, according to divorce records.
Davis joined the Marion County Sheriff's Department in 2004 and

became an IMPD officer after the city's police merger.
Family members declined to comment after Thursday's sentencing

but praised Davis' character and devotion to his wife and son in
letters to the judge.
Davis testified at the trial that he gave in to greed and a desire for
acceptance by Long and Edwards, who worked in the drug unit he
wished to join one day.
"This is the saddest thing about this case," his attorney, Jack
Crawford, said. "He was, and could have been, a good police
officer."

Additional Facts
WHAT'S NEXT
Former Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department narcotics

Detectives Robert B. Long and Jason P. Edwards likely won't be
sentenced for at least two months. U.S. District Judge Larry J.
McKinney has not yet set dates.
» Penalties: Up to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to possess

marijuana with intent to distribute. Up to five years for drug
possession on each of Long's four counts and Edwards' three
counts. But U.S. Attorney Timothy M. Morrison said the other
counts likely will roll into the conspiracy charge for sentencing,
making 20 years the max.
» Co-defendants: Two other men covered by the indictment have

pleaded guilty. Former officer James D. Davis faces 10 to 15 years
in prison. Kabec Higgins, used by the officers to sell marijuana,
likely will receive less time. Both are set for sentencing July 9.

CASE COVERED ON TWITTER
The Indianapolis Star's coverage of the two-week trial included

frequent posts on Twitter, a microblogging service that limits
messages to 140 characters. The nearly real-time coverage
attracted the judge's attention the first day.
Federal judges have wide discretion on accommodating newly

emerging technology. McKinney, who said such coverage is a form
of broadcasting, required that a reporter leave the courtroom and
go to another floor to send posts. To read the Twitter feed, go

Indianapolis - A former Metro police officer will spend ten

years in prison for helping two detectives steal drugs and
money.
James D. Davis was arrested in June 2008 for his role in a

videotaped theft of marijuana and cash from a suspected drug
house.
Davis testified against former detectives Robert B. Long and Jason

P. Edwards who were convicted by a jury on multiple conspiracy
and drug counts. They face up to 20 years in prison.
Davis received the minimum ten years for cooperating with federal
prosecutors.
Also sentenced Thursday was Kabec Higgins, an operator of a local

business, Ear Candy Muzik. He distributed marijuana for the three
officers, according to the Department of Justice. Higgins pleaded
guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 kilograms
of marijuana. U.S. District Judge Larry J. McKinney sentenced
Higgins to 15 months in prison.

Deputies Rodney Philon, 38, of Wesley Chapel and Donald
Riggans, 34, of New Port Richey were among four suspects
arrested Sunday after an investigation by the Drug Enforcement
Administration, Tampa police and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Riggans, a road patrol deputy, was arrested by DEA agents when

he reported for work at 6:30 a.m., while Philon, a jail deputy, was
arrested after a nearly six-hour standoff with authorities at his
home.
A woman and Philon's daughter were also in the home.

Pasco Sheriff Bob White said that deputies never believed the two
were in danger but that the deputy "was weighing his options and
stalling."
Both deputies were fired immediately, White said.
"We're not going to tolerate corruption in our ranks," White said at

a hastily called news conference outside the gates of the Wesley
Pointe subdivision where Philon lives with his wife and daughter.
"We will root it out where we find it."
Riggans, Kevin Massimino, 32, of Tampa and Robert Caddick, 41, of

Oviedo were charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute hydrocodone, an addictive painkiller. Philon faces charges
of conspiracy to distribute steroids, according to the Sheriff's Office.
They were all booked into the Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough
County and are being held without bail.
White said investigators have been working on the case for about
three weeks. In one case, Riggans received $9,000 in cash from
Massimino for his help, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Neither federal prosecutors nor the Sheriff's Office would comment

on the scope of the operations or on the possibility of additional
targets. Steven Cole, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in
Tampa, said more details about the investigation would be revealed
during the suspects' court appearances today.
The personnel files of Philon and Riggans at the Sheriff's Office

should also be made available today, Sheriff's Office spokesman
Doug Tobin said. Philon had worked at the department since
December 1998. Riggans started in April 1999.
The arrests of Riggans and Philon came as a shock to their

colleagues and, particularly, to Philon's neighbors in the 28000
block of Seashell Court. Many of them got a disturbing wakeup call
on Sunday morning.
Additional deputies descended on Philon's gated community about 6

a.m. after he refused to come out of his home and surrender to
authorities. A woman answered the door when deputies arrived at
the home, but she told them Philon was not there, Tobin said.
Realizing that Philon had guns inside his home and concerned for
the safety of the woman, the Sheriff's Office enlisted the assistance
of the SWAT team about 9:10 a.m.. Authorities later determined
that Philon's daughter also was in the home.
Next-door neighbor Jammie Popolillo said he overheard deputies

trying to coax Philon out of the home for several hours.
"They were just saying stuff like, 'Rodney, come out and let's talk.
We're part of the same team,' " Popolillo said. "I wanted to leave

the house, but officers had told us to stay inside."
Some neighbors were evacuated from their homes at 11 a.m.

Negotiations with Philon went on for almost another hour before he
surrendered peacefully, Tobin said.
"We're happy this ended without anyone getting hurt or injured,"

Tobin said.
No one answered the door at Philon's home Sunday afternoon, and

a message left on his cell phone was not immediately returned.
Contact information for Riggans wasn't immediately available.
Neighbors in Wesley Pointe tried to reconcile the friendly deputy

that some called "Deebo" after the cartoonishly muscle-bound
character in the movie Friday with the man taken away in shackles.
"I'm just shocked," said Gini Ruggiero, whose children often play
with Philon's daughter. "You would never expect something like this
from the parent of a daughter who is that well-behaved."
Popolillo said: "I wish all the best for Rod. He was always so polite
and friendly."

On Sunday in Wesley Chapel, neighbors gather in the street in front

of the Wesley Pointe home of a Pasco sheriff’s deputy who was
arrested on drug charges after a nearly six-hour standoff. Rodney
Philon was fired by the sheriff, along with another deputy.

Details on allegations of deputy drug deals

Tampa, Florida - In order to break up an alleged drug ring, the

SWAT team had to be called to arrest one of the deputies. In all
four people were taken into custody: Kevin Massimino, Robert
Caddick, and Pasco Sheriff's deputies Donald Riggins and Rodney
Philon.
The criminal complaint doesn't suggest drug activity took place

where Philon was arrested. Click here to read the arrest affidavit.
(PDF)
Philon's neighbor Jamie Popolillo says he never saw traffic coming in

or out.
According to the feds, the hydrocodone and other drugs came from
an abandoned building on Clark Street in Tampa that once housed
Medipharm Pharmacy. The indictment says a man referred to as
“The Fat Man” or “Big Bob” was the chief financial officer who not
only stole the drugs, but also cooked the books.
The feds say that allowed Massimino who was working with a
confidential informant to work with Caddick to distribute the drugs.
They met in well known public places such as Wal-Mart, where they
made drug drops in the parking lot, Bally's gym, International Mall
where steroids were bought and sold, The Alltel phone store on
West Shore and Kennedy, Hooters and Publix.
But the criminal complaint says it was at the West Shore Mall where
Massimino and Caddick hatched a plan to rip off one of their drug
dealers and involve the two deputies, who Massimino said would be
willing to help for part of the take.
The plan was to have a drug courier bring $30,000 from Miami to
Pasco County, have the deputies make a traffic stop and the
deputies would take the money and the drug dealer would have to
pay twice.
Pasco Sheriff Bob White says he is shocked and won't tolerate that
behavior. He fired both deputies as soon as they were arrested
"I can assure you as your sheriff, we're not going to tolerate
corruption in our ranks, in the Pasco Sheriff's Office," White says.
"It's just not going to happen."

However, the Feds cut a deal allow the deputies out on $50,000
bond. They are asking a judge to deny bail for the men who they
say where the kingpins in the drug deal, Massimino and Caddick.

A former Pasco jail deputy convicted last year of federal drug

charges was pulled over in Brandon late Wednesday on suspicion he
was driving drunk.
Rodney Philon, 39, was sentenced in September to six months of

house arrest and two years of probation after pleading guilty to
possession of steroids with intent to distribute.
If a judge determines he violated his probation, Philon could be

sent to jail.
Philon was pulled over just before midnight Wednesday at the

intersection of Brandon Boulevard and Mount Carmel Road. He
refused a blood-alcohol test, according to the Hillsborough County
Sheriff's Office.
He was released Thursday on $500 bail.

He first made headlines last year, after authorities say they caught
Philon — a husband, father and deputy with a previously good
record — selling several tablets of Dianabol to an informant in the
parking lot of a Publix on State Road 54.
When deputies came to arrest him in his Wesley Chapel home in

March 2008, Philon held off SWAT teams in a six-hour standoff. He
later told a judge he was frightened and confused. He made his
stepdaughter answer the door and tell deputies Philon was out
fishing.
Another former deputy with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office was
also convicted in the same case. Don Riggans was convicted of
conspiring to distribute thousands of pain pills for illegal sale. He
admitted to using his position as a road patrol deputy to conduct a
bogus traffic stop on a drug runner (who turned out to be an
informant) to rip off the proceeds of the drug sale. Riggans was
sentenced in December to two years in prison.
Two others in the ring also got prison time: Robert "Fat Bob"
Caddick of Oviedo and Kevin Massimino of Tampa.
Caddick was the chief financial officer of Medipharm and was

accused of making and stealing prescription narcotics such as
hydrocodone, Xanax and Vicodin. Massimino put the pills into
circulation.
Caddick was sentenced to 27 months in prison. Massimino got three

years in prison.

MUNCIE — Drunken driving charges against an Anderson police

officer arrested in Muncie last month will be dropped if he
successfully stays out of legal trouble for a year.
Officer Marty D. Dulworth, 33, Middletown, entered into an

agreement with prosecutors during a court hearing in June — a
little less than two weeks after he was arrested on suspicion of

misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Indiana State Police Trooper David Fidler arrested Dulworth at

about 9 p.m. Saturday, June 6, near the intersection of 29th Street
and Macedonia Avenue in Muncie, ISP officials previously said.
Dulworth allegedly was driving his motorcycle more than 90

miles per hour, according to ISP officials. A breath test
determined his blood-alcohol level was 0.19 percent, more
than twice what is considered legally intoxicated in Indiana,
officials previously said.
Delaware County prosecutors charged Dulworth on June 15 with

operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person and
operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol limit above 0.15 percent.
Both charges are Class A misdemeanors that are punishable by up
to one year behind bars and a maximum fine of $5,000.
He was also charged with speeding.
At a hearing June 18, Dulworth entered into a deferral with

prosecutors and agreed to not break the law during the next year,
complete the Delaware County Community Corrections Court
Alcohol and Drug program and perform 40 hours of community
service. His driver’s license was suspended for 30 days, and then
will be on probationary status for six months, according to court
records.
Dulworth was placed on unpaid administrative leave with the

Anderson Police Department shortly after his arrest. His status with
the department wasn’t available on Friday. Department officials did
not return a message seeking comment.

A Lawrence Township school board member has been dismissed as
a Fortville reserve police officer after driving a squad car in full
uniform while allegedly drunk.
Adam Goldstein, 39, of Geist, an unpaid officer in training in

Fortville, was charged with public intoxication at the Geist Marina
early Sunday morning and later charged preliminarily with drunk
driving, police and the Hamilton County prosecutor’s office said

today.

Goldtstein and his wife, Karen, were stopped by an Indiana

Department of Natural Resources officer while boating on
the reservoir at 11 p.m. Saturday and cited for failing to
have working navigational lights, said Conservation Officer
Dave Dungan.
Apparently angry at the citation, Goldstein drove home, put on his

police uniform and gun, then drove to the Fortville police station,
where he took a squad car, Fortville Police Sgt. Derek Shelley said.
No one else was at the station at the time.
He drove the car to the Geist Marina to confront the DNR

officer who ticketed him, became unruly and was arrested
for public intoxication, Shelley said.
Dungan said he gave Goldstein a breathalyzer test, which he failed,

and he was later charged with drunk driving.
Goldstein was elected to his first term on the school board in 2008.
He is also the former owner of Automotive Service Group in
Lawrence. He began his reserve officer training Feb. 28 and was in
the field training segment, in which he rode around with a full-time
officer on patrol.
Training officers have keys to the squad cars, Shelley said.

LAWRENCE, Ind. (WISH) - A Lawrence School Board Member --

who is also a Fortville reserve police officer -- is facing
criminal charges stemming from a simple boating citation.
Fortville Police Chief Benjamin Kiphart said Adam Goldstein came

highly recommended to the force, but he has fired the reserve
officer following an early morning phone call.
Chief Kiphart answered a call from conservation officer David

Dungan at 2:30 Sunday morning. Dungan told Kiphart one of his
reserve officers, Goldstein, was under arrest for driving
drunk. In addition, Dungan said Goldstein was driving drunk
in a patrol car.
"I had to wake up a little bit and wondered why he was in a patrol
car because he is not issued a patrol car," said Kiphart. "He was
terminated from his duties that night when I showed up, got
his ID, his badge and his weapon and all his equipment --
and my car back."
Officer Dungan had cited Goldstein's wife on Geist Reservoir

earlier in the night for operating a boat without lights on
after sunset.
"We encountered numerous individuals on the boat at that time,

many of whom appear to be intoxicated. One of the individuals that
I recognized from past dealings as Mr. Goldstein," recalled Dungan.
Dungan said Goldstein returned to Geist hours later in full police

uniform and a marked car. But Dungan said he smelled alcohol and
conducted field sobriety tests.
"He failed those tests. He was given a portable breath test,

which he also failed. At that time he was placed in
handcuffs," said Dungan.
Officer Dungan said Goldstein had a blood alcohol level

of .12.
Goldstein has an initial hearing July 15 for an official misconduct

charge and operating while intoxicated charge. He may face

additional charges for taking the patrol car without authorization.

Indiana Department of Natural Resources conservation officer Dave

Dungan saw Adam Goldstein twice this weekend.
The first was a minor confrontation over boat safety Saturday night
at Geist Reservoir. That led to a second, more serious encounter on
land hours later. The third meeting could be in a Hamilton County
courtroom later this month.
Goldstein, a first-term Lawrence Township School Board member,

faces a drunken driving charge after he showed up at the Geist
Marina behind the wheel of a squad car and wearing a Fortville
Police Department uniform, Dungan said.
"He pulled alongside of me in the Geist Marina parking lot and rolled

down the window," Dungan said of Goldstein, a Fortville reserve

police officer in training. "He said he wanted to discuss his ticket,
but I'm smelling the alcohol about his breath and observing that he
had glassy eyes."
Goldstein was booked into the Hamilton County Jail on a public

intoxication charge Sunday and was released on his own
recognizance after seven hours. A preliminary charge of driving
while intoxicated was added later.
Dungan and two other conservation officers had stopped Goldstein's

wife, Karen, as she piloted the pontoon at 11 p.m. Saturday. She
was cited for failing to have working red and green navigational
lights on the boat. The boat had about eight people aboard,
including Goldstein, and officers told the group they should go
home.
Instead, Goldstein drove home and put on his police uniform, a

bulletproof vest and a holster and gun, according to Fortville Police
Sgt. Derek Shelley. Goldstein drove to the Fortville police station
and took out a squad car, then drove back to the Geist Marina as
Dungan pulled out in his squad car, police said.
Dungan suspected Goldstein had been drinking and ordered him to

take a breath test, which he flunked, Dungan said.
Shelley said Goldstein had completed a 40-hour training course and

was in the first phase of field training. He has been dismissed from
the force, and the department is seeking official misconduct charges
against him, Shelley said.
Goldstein was elected to his first term on the School Board in 2008.
He founded Automotive Service Group, an auto repair shop in
Indianapolis, in 1997 and sold it in May.
Goldstein said in a brief interview that he had spoken with

Lawrence Township Schools Superintendent Concetta Raimondi and
School Board President Susan Faldauer about the arrest. He said he
was undecided about whether he would resign from the board, and
he refused to discuss details of the incident.
Faldauer refused to comment on the arrest; Raimondi did not

return phone calls.
Call Star reporter John Tuohy at (317) 444-6303.

I'm betting that the only reason a GTA charge HASN'T been
filed against Goldstein is that to do so would bring up the
unwelcome and embarrassing question of "How on earth did
this guy get away with stealing a cop car?" To even ask such a
question would be to point out the negligence and carelessness
of the "active duty" cops who let it happen.

trying to back into his driveway.
Jail Sgt. Mike Christensen, 47, was traveling west on Black

Forest Drive in Grand Rapids when he drove off the south side of
the road, according to the Grand Rapids Police Department accident
report. He then backed up toward his driveway in the 4500
block of Black Forest Drive but missed it.

Christensen, who was injured, was removed from the vehicle and
transported to Riverview Hospital in Wisconsin Rapids.
Christensen, who was off-duty and in his own vehicle, was at the
hospital for an extended time, said Grand Rapids Police Chief Dave
Lewandowski, who arrested Christensen.
Because of the amount of time between the crash and when

Christensen was ready to leave the hospital, he was released into
the custody of a sober person, after a blood-alcohol test.
Christensen was issued a citation for drunken driving.

Monroe deputy marshal booked on drug charges

Cherry accused of possession of marijuana

The chief deputy of the Monroe City Marshal's Office has been
placed on administrative leave following his arrest on misdemeanor
drug charges over the weekend.
Robert Cherry Jr., 51, 6208 Cypress Point, Monroe, was

booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center on Sunday on
possession of marijuana, not using a turn signal and resisting an
officer.

He also was accused of illegal possession of a firearm, but a state

district judge found no probable cause for that charge.
Marshal Wince Highshaw described Cherry as a valued employee

with 26 years of experience. He said Cherry is a "great guy" and
has never presented problems at work.
"The whole office is devastated over this," Highshaw said.
Highshaw said he is waiting for the outcome of an investigation by

the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office before taking further action.
According to police reports, a deputy pulled over Cherry after he

failed to signal while turning onto Selman Drive from Blanks Street.
Cherry got out of his pickup truck, then got back into his vehicle,
despite the deputy telling Cherry to stop.
The deputy followed Cherry until he stopped again at DeSiard

Street and Kentucky Street. The deputy smelled an "overwhelming
odor of marijuana" on Cherry, the report states.
The report described Cherry as extremely uncooperative. Cherry

was handcuffed but eventually had to be subdued with a Taser to
get into the patrol unit.
Officers found a marijuana blunt during a search of the vehicle.
Cherry was in full uniform at the time of his arrest.
"We were left with no other choice," Sheriff Richard Fewell said.
"You don't make exceptions."
Fewell said he reviewed a videotape of the incident, and his

deputies behaved "by the book."
Bond was set at $1,400.

stopped by a Ouachita Sheriff's Deputy Sunday afternoon for a
traffic violation, while he was on his way home from an off duty job
at Chennault Park.
The deputy said that when Cherry got out of his car on DeSiard at
Kentucky, he "instantly detected an overwhelming odor or
marijuana on him and in his vehicle."
The arrest affidavit states a deputy found a marijuana blunt--or

thick cigarette--inside the vehicle, and that Cherry was "extremely
uncooperative and refused to comply with the deputy's commands."
The report says Cherry "had to be tased in stun mode" so he would

comply with the deputy.
Marshal Wince Highshaw says the news of Cherry's arrest is

surprising.
Said he: "... we are a family and we are just devastated behind
this. Such a great person. We'll all, we'll all miss him the time he's
away from this office."
Cherry has been with the Monroe Marshal's office for 25 years, the
last six as chief deputy.

Forty-7-year-old Lyle Hicks is charged in Jefferson County with
driving under the influence of alcohol and failure to reduce
speed.
Hicks was arrested by sheriff's deputies early on Oct. 18 after

swerving into a ditch in rural Jefferson County. He sustained

minor injuries.
A state police spokesman says Hicks has been relieved of his

trooper duties and that an internal investigation of any policy
violations by Hicks is under way.
Hicks doesn't have a listed home telephone number in Mount

Vernon. It isn't immediately clear if he has an attorney.
He's scheduled to appear in court Nov. 21.

JEFFERSON COUNTY- A state trooper facing DUI charges made

his first appearance in Jefferson County Court Friday.
Mount Vernon native Lyle Hicks was arrested in October. He's

accused of crashing a state issued vehicle while driving drunk.

Posts: 9967 he's facing charges that could end his career.
Jefferson County Sheriff Roger Mulch says, when first

responders arrived at that crash. Hicks was injured but refused
treatment.
Police say he was intoxicated and arrested for DUI.
State police say since the charges Hick's has been relieved of
his duties. His drivers license and career as an officer depend on
the outcome of the investigation and trial.
But Hicks's attorney says no discipline will be needed because

his client is innocent, " This is a situation where I think they
have just wrongly accused him."
The sheriff disagrees, he says " I think it will prove in court

probably beyond a shadow of a doubt that alcohol played a part
in this incident and the person that was arrested was guilty of
those charges."

Mulch says police officers know the law better than most and
should abide by the rules they work to uphold , "Any law
enforcement should be held at a higher standard because
they've taken an oath to up hold the laws and the constitution
but then we can't forget everybody's human also."
Hicks next court appearance will be in January.
A special appellate prosecutor has been appointed to handle the

case.

Summary charges stemming from a car accident involving a
Freemansburg police officer were filed Wednesday by Bethlehem
Township police.
Kevin Kovalovsky, 32, who lives in the township, was charged with
driving at an unsafe speed and leaving the scene of accident
without providing information in the Dec. 15 crash in front of 3030
Keystone Street in the township.

State police said that less than an hour after that accident, at about
2:30 a.m., they found Kovalovsky smelling of alcohol while stopped
in his car on Route 33 in Bushkill Township. DUI charges could
follow pending a blood-alcohol test.
Kovalovsky's car had damage to its right front side. He told state
police that his car had struck a parked car in Bethlehem Township.
Troopers took him to Easton Hospital in Wilson.
Bethlehem Township police Capt. George Boksan said Kovalovsky

told an officer his vehicle slid on an icy patch in the 3000 block of
Keystone Street and struck a parked vehicle. Boksan said the struck
vehicle traveled about 50 feet and hit a mailbox, then another
vehicle parked in a driveway.
Kovalovsky faces fines of $350 for leaving the scene of an accident

and $113.50 for driving at an unsafe speed, according to the
summonses filed at the Lower Nazareth Township office of District
Judge Joseph Barner.
Kovalovsky's future with the Freemansburg Police Department is

uncertain. In Nazareth, where is a part-time officer, Police Chief
Michael Sinclair has said Kovalovsky would not work there until the
charges are resolved.

A Freemansburg police officer who was arrested in December and

accused of drunken driving waived the charges Monday morning to
Northampton County Court.
Kevin Andrew Kovalovsky, 32, of Bethlehem Township,

waived the drunken-driving charge in front of District Judge
Adrianne Masut.
Charges were filed against Kovalovsky after a Pennsylvania State

Police trooper found him Dec. 15 parked on the shoulder of Route
33 in Bushkill Township. Kovalovsky's blood-alcohol content was
0.27 percent. The state's legal limit for driving is 0.08 percent.
Kovalovsky was also charged with speeding and leaving the scene
of a crash after he crashed his Pontiac Grand Prix, causing damage
to two parked cars, a mailbox and a fence in the 3000 block of
Keystone Avenue in Bethlehem Township, police said. The crash
happened about 40 minutes before state police found him on Route
33, police said.
Kovalovsky was suspended for 25 days without pay by

Freemansburg Borough Council. He is expected to return to work
later this week, according to the borough solicitor.
Kovalovsky was initially suspended with pay Dec. 18. He was later
stripped of his paycheck by borough council, the borough solicitor
had said in a statement.

FREEMANSBURG | A borough police officer facing drunken-driving

charges is expected to return to work this week after nearly three
months' suspension, a borough attorney said.
Once his current 25 working-day suspension expires today, Kevin

Andrew Kovalovsky is expected back on the job this week, although
a specific date has not been established, borough Solicitor Carl
Williamson wrote in an e-mail.
The 32-year-old Bethlehem Township, Pa., resident, however, must

still convince borough council he deserves to maintain employment
in the municipality, council Vice President Charles Derr said. The
borough is considering all of its options, including possibly
dismissing Kovalovsky, Derr said.
"This is a first for us," Derr said. "Everything is still up in the air."
A preliminary hearing on the officer's charges was scheduled for

today before District Judge Adrianne Masut in Wind Gap, but
Kovalovsky has asked for a postponement, court officials said.
Masut is expected to act on that request today.
Borough council members originally suspended Kovalovsky with pay

Dec. 18. Council reversed that decision in January and authorized a
25 working-day suspension without pay, Williamson previously said
in a statement.
About 2:20 a.m. Dec. 15, police found Kovalovsky on the shoulder
of Route 33 north in Bushkill Township, police said. He had a blood-
alcohol content of 0.27 percent, which is more than three times the
legal limit for driving, police said.
Within the preceding 40 minutes, Kovalovsky had crashed his

Pontiac Grand Prix, causing damage to two parked cars, a mailbox

and a fence in the 3000 block of Keystone Avenue in Bethlehem
Township, police said.
In addition to the drunken-driving charges, Kovalovsky has been

charged with speeding and leaving the scene of a crash with
damage to an unattended vehicle, police said.
Efforts to reach Kovalovsky were unsuccessful Friday. Phone calls to

his home were met with a busy signal.

The Express-Times
FREEMANSBURG | A borough police officer who recently finished a

25-day unpaid suspension after being arrested on suspicion of
drunken driving has been charged with another alcohol-related
offense.
Borough police charged Kevin Andrew Kovalovsky, 32, of the

1800 block of Seventh Street in Bethlehem Township, with
public drunkenness after he was found at 12:37 a.m. March 18 at

Spiros Restaurant in the 700 block of Washington Street.
Court paperwork did not indicate if Kovalovsky had been inside the
restaurant.
The arresting officer indicated on the citation that Kovalovsky was

"very intoxicated and had recent injuries to his face that he stated
he received in a fall."
Police said Kovalovsky refused medical treatment and was taken

home for his own safety.
The summary charge carries a fine of $25 and other costs that
bring the total fee to $153. It was mailed to Kovalovsky and filed in
District Judge Joseph Barner's office Tuesday.
Kovalovsky was slated to return to work the first week of March.

But on Monday, borough council Vice President Charles Derr said
Kovalovsky has been on paid medical leave for the past three
weeks, pending the completion of a physical to determine whether
he's fit for duty.
Kovalovsky was arrested Dec. 15 after a state trooper found him

parked on the side of Route 33 in Bushkill Township. His BAC was
0.27 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
On March 3, Kovalovsky waived charges of drunken driving,

speeding and leaving the scene of a crash to Northampton County
Court. State police said before he was found on the side of the
highway, he crashed his Pontiac Grand Prix, causing damage to two
parked cars, a mailbox and a fence in the 3000 block of Keystone
Avenue in Bethlehem Township, police said.
Phone calls seeking comment to police Chief George Bruneio, Mayor

Gerald Yob and Solicitor Carl Williamson were not returned
Thursday.
Earlier this week, Bruneio referred all questions regarding

Kovalovsky to Williamson. Yob said he can't comment about any
borough-related matters and also referred all questions to
Williamson.
"You have to talk to the solicitor," Yob said. "Whatever he says."
Williamson has not returned several messages left with his office
since Tuesday. A written request for access to the borough police
blotter and any Kovalovsky incident -- received by Williamson's
office Wednesday -- was answered Thursday.
In his written response, Williamson said access to the borough

police blotter will be given "within reasonable limitations imposed
only due to staffing concerns."
Incident reports will not be made available for public inspection,

because such reports include names of witnesses, names of victims

to sexual assault and names of minors, he wrote.
Melissa Melewsky, an attorney with the Pennsylvania Newspaper

Association, said those types of investigatory details can be
redacted from the reports, but basic information about incidents
must be provided.
"They are obligated to redact that which is not public and release
the remainder," Melewsky said.
Reporter Bevin Milavsky can be reached at 610-867-5000 or by e-

mail at bmilavsky@express-times.com.

If they reinstate him and he goes on to kill someone in an alcohol

allowing him to remain a cop when they were aware he had such

I think when cops leave the scene of an accident it is because they

By Tom De Martini | Special to The Morning Call
August 12, 2008
A Freemansburg police officer who was twice charged with alcohol-

related offenses was fired Monday for failing to provide Borough
Council documentation and status reports on the charges.
Borough Council voted 7-0 to terminate Patrolman Kevin

Kovalovsky, who began working part time for the police force in
1997 before reaching full-time status in 2002. The termination is
effective Aug. 26.
Council President Charles Derr said a part-time officer has been

promoted to a temporary full-time position. That officer, Derr said,
will become a permanent employee with benefits Aug. 26.
Kovalovsky, 32, was charged in December with drunken driving

and public drunkenness in March, a charge that was later dismissed.
Borough solicitor Lawrence Fox said repeated efforts to reach

Kovalovsky via certified letter drew no response.
He said four letters were sent to Kovalovsky by Police Chief George

Bruneio requesting the officer submit documentation of the alleged
charges in chronological order. Fox said Kovalovsky responded once
by letter, stating he did not receive documentation on either arrest.
''That would make him the first citizen in the history of

Northampton County to be charged and receive no documentation
at all,'' Fox said. ''We wish we could give you an indication about
what has transpired and what hasn't, but at this point, we can't.
Council was very patient in this matter.''
Fox said Kovalovsky's refusal to provide documentation and

updates was a violation of the borough's police manual.
''Most of the information we got was what we read in the

newspapers,'' said Derr.
The public drunkenness charge was dismissed in June.
An officer from Freemansburg cited Kovalovsky after he appeared

to be intoxicated along Washington Street in the early morning
after St. Patrick's Day. Derr said Kovalovsky received an unpaid
suspension for having called out sick earlier that day.
In November, Kovalovsky is scheduled for an Accelerated

Rehabilitative Disposition hearing on two charges of drunken driving.
In December 2007, Kovalovsky was charged after state police at

Belfast found him stopped on Route 33 in Bushkill Township.
Kovalovsky's blood-alcohol content was 0.277 percent, more than
three times the legal limit, police said.
Kovalovsky's car had front-end damage and he told a trooper he

struck a parked car earlier in the evening in Bethlehem Township.
Bethlehem Township police charged Kovalovsky with hitting a

parked car and leaving the scene of an accident.

In 2007, 7 Shreveport Police officers have been arrested on various
charges.
The latest comes after Bossier Police arrested Shreveport Sergeant

Ricky Moore on DWI charges.
Shreveport Police Chief Henry Whitehorn said Moore's arrest was a

low blow to all law enforcement.

"We have some individuals that make bad choices and they will be
held accountable for their actions. Anytime a police officer is
arrested, that's a black eye on any badge, any star that wears the
uniform," Whitehorn said.
He also said the arrests will not stop him from running a tight ship.
He said the best way to make sure his men and women in blue
follow the rules is by showing them.
Whitehorn said, "This is a professional organization, and I intend to

maintain that professionalism, and the biggest thing that's going to
happen is, I'm going to lead by example."
Detective Rod Demery said Whitehorn's serious about enforcing

discipline.
Demery admits he tries to stay objective about his colleagues who

found themselves on the wrong side of the law, but he still feels for
them.
Sergeant Ricky Moore posted $1,400 bond and was released from
jail Satuday. He was placed on paid administrative leave. An
investigation is ongoing.

Jury selection starts Tuesday in the trial of a former Shreveport
police officer accused of selling drugs.
Roderick L. "Rickey" Moore, 52, is charged with selling cocaine

and the prescription painkiller Lortab.
He'll be tried in Caddo District Court in Shreveport.
Damon Kervin, the Caddo assistant district attorney helping

prosecute the case, expects testimony to begin Wednesday. He said
he doesn't know how long the trial will last.
Moore was on leave from the Shreveport Police Department when

narcotics agents and Bossier sheriff's deputies arrested him at a
Shreveport strip club in November.
Moore is accused of delivering drugs to a confidential informant

then inviting the informant back to his home for more drugs,
according to a police report.
The department put Moore on leave following an arrest on a charge

of driving while intoxicated in August in Bossier Parish. He was fired
from the department after the drug arrest.
The Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics Task Force opened an investigation

after the Police Department received a complaint that Moore
routinely visited the club and provided drugs to the dancers in
return for favors.
Moore also faces drug possession charges in Bossier Parish

stemming from a search of his home immediately after his arrest.
Deputies and narcotics task force members found less than two-
tenths of an ounce of cocaine, a small amount of marijuana and

prescription medications at Moore's home in Princeton.
They also recovered Moore's police-issued handgun, shotgun and

Taser, as well as his uniforms, a walkie-talkie and a flashlight.
After his arrest, Shreveport police charged Moore with conspiracy to

commit malfeasance in office. They allege Moore had a fellow officer
run a license plate number to get information about the confidential
informant.
That officer, Shreveport police Sgt. Joey Willis, is charged with

malfeasance in office. He's accused of using a department computer
to run the license plate check. Willis is supposed to go to trial on
the charge Monday, his 43rd birthday.

Posts: 31403 Name-calling, a request for a mistrial and a couple of issues with
jurors interrupted testimony Wednesday in the case of a former
Shreveport police officer accused of selling drugs.
Roderick Moore was on leave from the Police Department when

narcotics agents and Bossier sheriff's deputies arrested him at a
Shreveport strip club in November.
Prosecutors labeled Moore, 52, "a bully" in opening statements

Wednesday in Caddo District Court. It was prosecutor Damon
Kervin's comment, calling Moore a "dirty cop," that led the defense
to object and ask for a mistrial.
"That's extremely prejudicial," said defense attorney Rick Candler.

"Those prejudicial remarks allow for a mistrial. ... It makes it
impossible for the defendant to have a fair trial."
Kerwin maintained the term referred to the defendant being

prosecuted, not convicted, for selling drugs and prior investigations
into his alleged drug activity.
Those prior investigations were sparked by tips that were never

proved true, said Henry Whitehorn Jr., a narcotics agent with the
Caddo sheriff's office.
The judge refused the defense motion, instead instructing jurors to

ignore the comment.
Two members of the jury — comprised of seven women, five men

and two female alternates — were called in individually by Judge
John Joyce.
During a recess, a male juror was seen talking to a member of the

media. He told Joyce the conversation was about his two nieces,
whom she used to baby-sit, and was unrelated to the trial.
Later, a female alternate was questioned after she informed the

court she was signed up to join the Army and scheduled to report to
basic training today. Instead of finding a new alternate, the court
was able to extend her leave date until Monday.
During the day, the jury heard testimony from Whitehorn, who said
he found a locked briefcase containing drugs and drug
paraphernalia during a search Nov. 1 of Moore's home.

Whitehorn said the three-digit code for the combination lock on the
briefcase was Moore's badge number.
Jurors also heard recordings of messages Moore allegedly left on an

informants answering machine, inviting her to "ride the bike" and
"ride the white horse."
Whitehorn said those expressions were street terms, commonly

used to describe using Xanax and cocaine, respectively.
On his cross-examination, Candler tried to show Moore owns and

has motorcycles and horses at his home in Princeton.
A videotape of an alleged exchange of drugs between Moore and

the informant, a stripper at Deja Vu Strip Club, also was admitted
into evidence. Jurors watched as Moore sat at the strip club's bar,
ordered a beer and spoke with the informant.
Prosecutors pointed out an exchange they say occurred when Moore

put his closed fist over the informant's hand.
Both Whitehorn and Detective Jack Miller with the Shreveport Police
Department admitted narcotics can not be seen in the exchange.
Defense attorneys say it's unclear what the video shows. They will
attempt to discredit the informant saying Moore didn't hand her
drugs and she set him up to get the $2,000 Crime Stoppers reward.
Both Whitehorn and Miller testified that the informant didn't know
about the money until after she assisted in the arrest.
Testimony will resume at 9 a.m. today.
In all, prosecutors plan to call about 10 witnesses and do not know

how long the trial will last.

A former Shreveport police officer was sentenced Wednesday to 15

years in prison for supplying drugs to strippers in exchange for
sexual favors.
Roderick Moore, 53, must serve the first five years of his
sentence without probation or parole, a Caddo District Court judge
ruled Wednesday.
Judge John Joyce handed down the 15-year sentence for

distribution of schedule II narcotics and five years for distribution of
schedule III. The sentences will run concurrently.
A seven-woman, five-man jury convicted Moore as charged in June

for distribution of cocaine and hydrocodone. He faced two to 30
years in prison for distributing cocaine and up to 10 years for the
hydrocodone, according to the district attorney's office.
"The court felt that the sentence imposed was proper in light of the
evidence adduced at trial and Mr. Moore's position of employment,"
said Assistant District Attorney Damon Kervin, who helped
prosecute the case.
"The Caddo Parish sheriff's office, Shreveport Police Department

and DEA Task Force investigated and arrested Mr. Moore. This was
comprised of acquaintances, co-workers, and a fellow SPD officer
who went to the police academy with him. Additionally, a family
member was a witness in this matter. All of these individuals

testified at his trial."

routinely visited the club and provided drugs to the dancers.
In October, a dancer contacted authorities alleging Moore gave her

drugs inside the Déjß vu Strip Club. Prosecutors say the informant
contacted Moore on Nov. 1, and he agreed to bring her drugs to the
club. Moore gave the woman powder cocaine and Lortab.
Prosecutors say he delivered drugs to a confidential informant, then

invited her back to his home for more drugs.

"Mr. Moore's family members were present throughout the trial and
sentencing, and I can only imagine the hardship and burden he
placed upon them, as well as his fellow officers and co-workers,"
Kervin said. "But the agents involved in this case performed their
duties exemplary and did what was necessary and what we all
expect them to do."

He is set to go on trial Aug. 25 on one count each of possession
with the intent to distribute schedule I marijuana, schedule II
cocaine, schedule II methadone, schedule II oxycodone, schedule
III hydrocodone, schedule IV alprazolam and schedule IV
lorazepam, according to authorities.
He also faces one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia

and possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled
dangerous substance.

Associated Press
MONROE, La. -- An off-duty Ouachita Parish sheriff's deputy was

arrested by a state trooper on several charges, including drunken
driving.
Troopers say 28-year-old Douglas R. Stewart of West Monroe

was booked Saturday night with driving while intoxicated,
possession of alcohol in a motor vehicle, simple battery, resisting

an officer, no turn single and no taillights.
A police report states the state police officer was leaving the Troop
F parking lot in Monroe and noticed the deputy's personal vehicle
making a left turn into the Troop F parking lot without signaling.
When the trooper got behind his vehicle, Stewart got out of the car.
Troopers say Stewart allegedly grabbed a man, who was walking

towards the trooper's car, around the neck and punched him
several times in the head.
Authorities say Stewart did not follow the trooper's order to stop
until he deployed pepper spray into Stewart's face.

When the trooper got behind his vehicle, Stewart got out of the car.
At the same time, an older male, coming from an unspecified

The Seminole County sheriff reacts to a local police officer's arrest.
"The whole matter is not only dangerous. It's repulsive," Seminole

County Sheriff Don Eslinger said.

Clay Adams spent only a short time on the county's elite drug
squad before he was arrested on drug charges on Monday night.
Kicked out for a lack of effort, he's now accused of running
marijuana grow houses -- even trying to get on the drug squad so
he could learn how to avoid detection.
"Quite obviously we're all disturbed by this, and you just hope to
resolve any issue left undone," Eslinger said.
"Not only disappointing but disheartening; he worked to cast a

shadow over the badge," Robert Merchant said.
Altamonte Springs police chief spoke Tuesday about his officer

apparently going bad -- an officer not only accused of growing and
selling pot, but handing over sensitive information about
undercover agents such as names, cars and tactics.
"Took a lot of effort to get all that, then he handed it over to

someone he thought was a drug trafficker," Eslinger said.
The criminal complaint also included that Adams threat to shoot the
supervisor who had him removed using a high powered rifle and a
silencer.
"We took it as a serious threat to the safety and well being of one
particular agent and his family," Eslinger said.
The agent and his family were relocated until Adams' arrest.
Eslinger said he's never seen anything like this in 30 years of law
enforcement. To comment on this story, send an e-mail to Dave
McDaniel.

Altamonte Springs police officer, wife arrested on federal

An Altamonte Springs police officer - recently kicked out of a

countywide drug task force -- and his wife have been arrested on
federal drug and weapons charges. Authorities said he also was
planning to kill a former drug unit supervisor.
Clay T. Adams, 36, a master patrolman, was arrested by a task

force of agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fireams
and Explosives; the Florida Department of Law Enforcement; and
the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. His wife, Robyn, also was
charged.
Adams has been suspended without pay, Altamonte Springs Police

Chief Robert Merchant said at a press conference held Tuesday.
"I am extremely upset," he said. "We work very, very hard to build
our reputation only to have it brought down by (Adams') actions."
Adams was arrested as he reported for duty at 7:30 p.m., said

Altamonte Police spokesman Tim Hyer. "It was shocking to hear,"
PFC. Robert Pelton said. "It hit us out of left field. It's disappointing
that one of your own could do something like that."
At a brief bail hearing Tuesday afternoon in federal court, attorneys

for the couple asked that proceedings be delayed until Friday so
they could prepare their defense.
Throughout the hearing, Robyn Adams wept and covered her face
with a tissue. Her husband conferred with his lawyer and briefly
answered questions from the judge.
Assistant U.S Attorney Rob Bodnar asked that the couple be

detained without bail because the case involved weapons and that
both defendants had made threats against the informant and others
in the case. Bodnar said the couple faces up to life in prison, if
convicted.
They are being held without bail at the Seminole County Jail.
A complaint filed by ATF agent Timothy Gunning charges that

Adams was a cop gone bad, who ran a marijuana grow-house

operation which supplied distributors in Tallahassee and dealt illicit

prescription drugs. It also said Adams provided weapons to an
informant who is a convicted felon and who tipped authorities about
the scheme earlier this month.
The informant, who recorded numerous conversations with the

couple, said Clay provided him with driver's license photos,
undercover and real names of drug agents of Seminole's City-
County Investigative Bureau, their vehicle descriptions and
techniques used by them.
Adams joined CCIB earlier this year to learn investigative

techniques used to detect marijuana growing operations, Gunning
wrote. But he was forced out of the unit last month.
"Clay was extremely upset a month ago when he was reprimanded

by a supervisor," Gunning wrote. "As a result of the reprimand,
Clay was removed from CCIB. Clay advised [the informant] that he
will let the issue cool off for a couple of months and then "take [the
supervisor] out" when he least expects it, utlizing a .308-caliber
rifle equipped with a silencer," Gunning wrote.
CCIB Capt. Sammy Gibson said Adams served in the unit from
March to June, when Adams transferred back to his agency. He
referred inquiries about the case to federal authorities.
The complaint gives this account of the investigation: On July 7,

ATF interviewed the informant, who had known Adams for years
since he joined the Altamonte force in 1999. The informant said
Adams secretly was addicted to OxyContin, a powerful pain reliever,
and that he observed Adams at an Orlando pain clinic. He said
Adams feared his job would be in danger if his employer discovered
his addiction.
Adams' wife, Robyn, is employed by an orthopedic surgeon and

obtained OxyContin for him. She also had a mail box in her name to
obtain marijuana seeds shipped in her name over the Internet from
the Netherlands, Gunning wrote.
The informant said Adams approached him with an offer to "get

rich" from a $5,500 investment in a marijuana grow-house
operation -- including $2,000 for the purchase of an assault rifle to
protect the grow-house. On July 9, the informant gave the money
to Adams and was instructed to find a home for the operation and
steal a license plate for vehicles driven to the site. Meanwhile,
Adams went to various stores to buy hydroponic equipment.
Adams, who carried multiple firearms, had a hidden room in his

home with several assault weapons, shotguns and grenades, the
informant said. He provided the informant an Uzi-type semi-
automatic rifle for $2,000.
Adams told the informant that "he would never lose his job and go
to jail without a fight and that he would kill anyone who [messed]

with him," the complaint said. Robyn Adams also told the informant
she would kill anyone who exposed the operation.
The officer bragged to the informant that he mastered the

thwarting of employment polygraph examinations by taking Valium
pills to reduce his blood pressure and avoid deceptive readings.
Eventually, the informant and investigators leased a home for

Adams to set up the marijuana growing site. On Sunday, Adams
told the informant he and his wife set up the growing operation
over the prior few nights. Police raided the home after the arrests.
The couple is charged with several firearms violations including

possessing firearms in a drug-trafficking offense, unlawful transferr
of a machine gun and conspiracy.
Sentinel staff writer Vincent Bradshaw contributed to this report.
Altamonte Springs Police Chief Robert Merchant speaks

during a press conference at the Altamonte Springs Police
Department. Master Police Officer Clay Adams was arrested
and charged with various drug and weapons charges during
a joint operation conducted by the The Bureau of Alcohol and
Firearms and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

But this time, the FBI said, the criminal enterprises were anything
but fake.
On Thursday, investigators cracked down on what they called very

real gambling and cocaine organizations -- arresting two longtime
Miami-Dade officers accused of tipping off criminals to police stings.
Officers Michael King, 42, and Antonio Roberts, 46, were

among almost 40 suspects charged with state racketeering and

federal drug charges. Marvin ''Cone Head'' Coney, 42, an ex-Miami-
Dade jail guard, was also arrested.
Investigators say King was a gambler who loved betting on pro

basketball games and had fallen into debt.
Miami's U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta called the officers'

suspected crimes ``the ultimate act of betrayal.''
''They put at risk the lives of their colleagues,'' Acosta said.

``Policing is dangerous enough without the many honest men and
women of policing having to worry about informants in their ranks.''
The two police officers join a list of eight from the Broward Sheriff's
Office and Hollywood and Miami police departments arrested by
federal agents within the past year and a half. Those officers,
agents say, were tricked into offering protection to criminals who
were actually undercover informants.
On Thursday, 19 people were arrested on state racketeering

charges related to illegal gambling. The rest were indicted federally
on cocaine distribution-related charges.
King and Roberts were veteran street officers on Miami-Dade's

north end. Roberts was hired in 1981, King in 1989.
NEIGHBORS
Investigators are trying to piece together exactly how the officers

may have hooked up with the suspected criminals. Roberts and
Coney live across the street from each other in North Miami-Dade.
King lives three houses down from FBI headquarters in North Miami
Beach -- agents walked there to arrest him.
Coney was a Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation guard from

1988 to 1998. He was fired for drug abuse, said jail spokeswoman
Janelle Hall.
The investigation began two years ago when agents listening to a

wiretap began hearing a former Miami-Dade jail officer named
Marvin Coney calling King.
''From the contents of the conversations, it became clear that

Michael King often received his betting lines and made financial
arrangements with another individual, now known as Ricardo
Muñoz,'' Miami-Dade internal affairs Detective Silvio Alvarez wrote
in his arrest warrant.
Detectives soon began listening to King's cellphone conversations

and watching the duplex, 161 NW 37th St., where Muñoz, 48, was
believed to have run his operation.
They recorded King acting as a bookmaker 16 times between March

and May, usually taking bets from Coney and a man named
Mohammed Jadallah.
He wasn't just running bets, police say.
UNDERCOVER TRUCK
On April 8, detectives say, King noticed an undercover pickup truck.

King pulled the truck over and was met by a Miami-Dade sergeant
who told him he was surveilling a heroin drug operation, according
to police.
King called Muñoz to say: ''I just stopped one of my lieutenants at

the corner watching ya'lls s--t, man,'' the arrest warrant said.
Also in April, detectives say, King -- sitting in his green-and-white

patrol car -- gave a client $450 in gambling money. The exchange
was videotaped by Dade internal affairs detectives.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, at an

afternoon news conference, showed a still frame of King's hand
outstretched from his patrol car.
''This is what really hurts,'' she said.
That was not all.
On April 3, King was working with a Miami-Dade police drug unit

known as the Tactical Narcotics Team, or TNT, as it was gearing up
for a sweep.
King called Coney to tell him to ''shut down,'' and then he ''put his
phone up to his police radio so that Coney could hear dispatch
calls,'' Acosta said.
Roberts had also worked with TNT. On Feb. 20, he called Coney and
said ''keep your ass home today . . . till 12 o'clock,'' according to
federal prosecutors.
Coney, in turn, called 10 more people to warn them.
Roberts also provided advice to Coney after one of his alleged

cohorts, Japtalian Evans, was stopped, and crack and powder
cocaine were seized from his car, prosecutors said. Roberts
theorized to Coney that the organization was under surveillance by
drug investigators.

WINNIPEG -- The chief of the police department investigating a

fatal crash involving an off-duty officer told a fellow policeman that
the officer involved, Derek Harvey-Zenk, was drunk at the time of
the accident and had to be whisked away from the scene, an

inquiry heard yesterday.
Cecil Sveinson, a sergeant in the Winnipeg Police Service, had

rushed to the accident scene that day in February, 2005, after
hearing that his cousin, Crystal Taman, a 40-year-old mother of
three, had been killed in a crash.
Sgt. Sveinson told the public inquiry yesterday he was invited to sit
in a police cruiser with Harry Bakema, a former Winnipeg police
officer who at the time was chief of police for East St. Paul, a
municipality that borders Winnipeg to the northeast.
He said he was dumbfounded when Mr. Bakema told him the man
responsible for the crash was a fellow officer.
"I asked him, 'Was he - ?' And I didn't even get it out and Chief
Bakema said, 'Pissed? Oh yeah. We had to get him out of here right
away,' " Sgt. Sveinson said.
The Taman inquiry is looking into the conduct of police and

prosecutors during the investigation and prosecution of the case
against Mr. Harvey-Zenk. It's still not known why charges of
refusing a breath analysis, impaired driving causing death and
criminal negligence causing death against Mr. Harvey-Zenk were
dropped. He eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of
dangerous driving causing death, and received a conditional
sentence of two years house arrest.
Sgt. Sveinson, who leads the Winnipeg aboriginal and diversity

policing section, said he initially went to the scene to perform a
traditional ceremony that would allow his cousin to continue her
spiritual journey after death.
It was while waiting for investigators to complete their

measurements and calculations that he sat with Mr. Bakema in his
patrol car. He said Mr. Bakema seemed frustrated by his presence.
"I could tell it was an uncomfortable situation for him," Sgt.

Sveinson said. "I wish I knew what [Mr. Bakema] meant by, 'We
had to get him out of here right away.' At the time I was still
dealing with the fact that a fellow WPS member was drunk and
killed my cousin.
"He also told me there was a witness who saw [Mr. Harvey-Zenk's]
truck all over the road and it didn't stop, it didn't brake, it drove
right into the back of Crystal and knocked her into another vehicle."
Sgt. Sveinson said he had known Mr. Harvey-Zenk his whole

career, had trained him and tested him. Afterward, he did his best
to learn more about the investigation and was told by a friend on
the Winnipeg force that Mr. Harvey-Zenk had been drinking with
other members of his shift into the early hours that morning.
"He told me that Derek Harvey-Zenk had tried to leave [the party]

a few times throughout the night, but some people there had
stopped him, and ultimately somehow he got his keys and left," he
said.
The inquiry also heard yesterday from paramedic Edward Rosser,

who said it was obvious when he spoke to him at the scene that Mr.
Harvey-Zenk smelled of alcohol.
"I could smell liquor on his breath," Mr. Rosser said. "Sitting with
him for 10 minutes I knew for sure that he'd been drinking."
He added that the off-duty officer seemed "pretty worried" and was
"very careful in what he was saying." When Mr. Rosser asked him if
he had been drinking, Mr. Harvey-Zenk stayed silent, he said. Mr.
Rosser concluded that his general quietness was calculated to make
him seem less intoxicated.
He didn't pass on any information to police because that's not his

job, and not permitted under privacy regulations, he said.
The inquiry is expected to run through the end of September.

Commission Council David Pacioccio grilled one-time officer Ken

Graham about his recolections at a car crash where 40-year-old
Crystal Taman died.
Pacioccio challenged the witness on discrepncies between his

testimony and previous statements Graham made about
timeframes, dealings with the Taman family on the scene, and
conversations with his former chief.
Questions about the accident investigation surfaced after

Derek Harvey-Zenk, a former Winnipeg cop, was able to cut

WINNIPEG - A police chief told one of his junior officers not to
mention the smell of alcohol in his notes about a crash
caused by another police officer that killed a mother of
three, a high-profile public inquiry heard Monday.
Const. Jason Woychuk gave his version of events at a public inquiry

that's reviewing the investigation and prosecution of former
Winnipeg police officer Derek Harvey-Zenk.
Harvey-Zenk killed Crystal Taman on Feb. 25, 2005, when his

vehicle struck hers from behind after she had stopped at a red light
in East St. Paul.
Woychuk said Monday that former chief Harry Bakema

instructed him not to include a paramedic's comment that
Harvey-Zenk smelled of alcohol in Woychuk's report into the
crash.
Bakema was the chief of the police force in East St. Paul, just
outside Winnipeg, where the crash took place.
"I was told I didn't need to put that in my notes," Woychuk told
Roger Salhany, a former Ontario judge who is heading up the
inquiry.
Harvey-Zenk had been out all night partying with fellow officers.
Following the crash, he agreed to a plea bargain that spared

him jail time, sparking public outrage and an inquiry into the
handling of the case by authorities.
The inquiry heard Monday that paramedic Ted Rosser made a

comment about alcohol to the junior officer.
The inquiry has already heard Bakema was a Winnipeg police officer
for more than 30 years before taking the post in East St. Paul.
He and Harvey-Zenk worked in the same Winnipeg district police

station.
It's alleged the failure to properly document the paramedic's claim

and other signs of impairment spoiled any opportunity to prosecute
Harvey-Zenk for impaired driving causing death.
It's also alleged to have contributed to the controversial plea

bargain in which Harvey-Zenk received a two-year conditional

sentence - house arrest - for dangerous driving causing death.
Woychuk only came clean Bakema's role in his note-taking when he

told current East St. Paul Police Chief Norm Carter about it, claiming
he believed Bakema and another officer didn't want to see Harvey-
Zenk prosecuted for impaired driving because he was a Winnipeg
police officer.
The Manitoba government called the inquiry to explore how the

Taman case was investigated and prosecuted.
Bakema, who was removed as chief because of the affair, is to

testify later this week. He is currently working as a real-estate
agent.
Woychuk, under questioning by inquiry lawyer David Paciocco, said

he did not do anything to verify that Harvey-Zenk was impaired,
nor did he include it in his notes.
"If you had taken notes about the conversation we wouldn't be in

this difficulty," Paciocco said.
The inquiry has heard Harvey-Zenk had worked a long week of

shifts and had gone to a bar with several officers and then to a city
police officer's house outside the city with a number of other
officers to drink.
The inquiry has heard one or more of the officers at the residence
took Harvey-Zenk's truck keys away from him at one point because
they believed he was in no condition to drive.
Harvey-Zenk lost his job as a Winnipeg police officer.

A former East St. Paul police officer was booted out of the Taman
inquiry Tuesday morning in connection to a verbal confrontation
outside the Winnipeg Convention Centre hearing room.
Former East St. Paul Police constable Ken Graham was barred
from the hearing after he allegedly got into an exchange of words
with East St. Paul Police Const. Bryan Maloney, the inquiry was told.
The exchange happened as Maloney was waiting in the hallway for

his turn to testify at the ongoing inquiry looking into the conduct of
East St. Paul police in the death of Crystal Taman in a Feb. 25,
2005 car crash. Graham, now a real estate agent, has already
testified about his role that day and was at the inquiry as a
spectator.
Maloney reported to inquiry lawyers David Paciocco and Vincent

Clifford that at about 10:30 a.m. during a break an agitated
Graham told him in the hallway, "You guys are nothing but a bunch
of f------ traitors."
Paciocco relayed the incident to inquiry head Roger Sulhany after

the break, saying Graham should be excluded from the hearing
room because he allegedly intimidated a witness. Sulhany agreed.
Graham, addressing Sulhany, said Maloney's statement about him

was wrong.
He said Maloney tried to initiate the conversation in the hallway and

that he told Maloney that he "didn't speak to liars." Graham may be
recalled after Maloney testifies to rebut Maloney's evidence.
It's believed no one in the second-floor hallway witnessed or

overheard the exchange. During breaks, witnesses, lawyers, the
Taman family and media mingle with one another.
Graham then left the room as three sherriff's officers stood

prepared to remove him forcibly if needed. Moments later the
hearing room was cleared for the noon hour when a spectator
suffered a seizure.
The exchange between Maloney and Graham goes back to how

each perceives the East St. Paul investigation into the crash that
killed Taman and how the department handled the arrest of former
Winnipeg police officer Derek Harvey-Zenk for impaired driving
causing her death.

The failure of East. St. Paul police to properly document indications

Harvey-Zenk was impaired is one of the reasons Harvey-Zenk was
not prosecuted for impaired driving causing death, and instead
accepted a controversial plea bargain in which he got a conditional
sentence and essentially two years of house arrest. The inquiry is
also being held to examine how the case was handled in the courts.
Maloney testified the police first at the scene, including then chief
Harry Bakema, handled the investigation poorly.
"There was a Charter issue, for sure," Maloney said, adding there
was about a 40-minute gap between when Harvey-Zenk was
detained in the back of a police vehicle and given his right under
the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to call a lawyer.
In a 2006 interview with RCMP, Maloney said Bakema was a "poor

manager and a poor policeman." RCMP were investigating if anyone
obstructed justice in Harvey-Zenk's arrest. No charges were laid.
In the RCMP report of their investigation, Maloney also said he was

convinced Bakema's motivation to pass Harvey-Zenk to junior
officer Const. Jason Woychuk was to distance himself from the
arrest, and that Bakema and Graham would do anything to get out
of being associated with the arrest of a Winnipeg police officer.
Bakema worked at the same Winnipeg police station with Harvey-

Zenk before he retired to take the chief's post in East St. Paul. He
has since been removed as chief and works in the same real estate
firm as Graham.
Graham testified last week that he told the RCMP he detected a

strong smell of alcohol when he entered Harvey-Zenk's truck on the
day of the crash, but that Bakema couldn't smell any alcohol.
Graham could not explain why he didn't put that observation in his
notes made at the time of the crash.
In earlier testimony Tuesday, Woychuk said he was not

intentionally involved in any plan to protect Harvey-Zenk from
being prosecuted for impaired driving causing death.
He told the inquiry that he was a new officer and only following the
orders of his boss at the time, then chief Harry Bakema.
"I believed chief Bakema was a leader and would not give me bad
direction," he said
Woychuk also said Bakema instructed him to exclude a paramedic's

observation Harvey-Zenk smelled of alcohol from his police notes of
the crash. He admitted he deliberately falsified his notes even
though he didn't feel comfortable doing so.
Woychuk also denied he was intentionally soft on Harvey-Zenk, by

not recording signs of impairment, because Harvey-Zenk was a
fellow police officer.

Bakema and his successor as chief, Norm Carter, are to testify this
week. The inquiry does not sit Friday.

CHICAGO | Veteran East Chicago police officer Xavier Herrera

was arrested Thursday after a U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration source recorded on videotape the officer trying to
buy 3 kilograms of cocaine for about $60,000, federal agents
reported.
Herrera, 47, is in jail in Chicago pending a detention hearing

Wednesday to determine whether he will get bond or remain behind

bars throughout his trial.
The DEA affidavit filed against Herrera describes him as a

middleman in the cocaine transaction, helping to arrange a sale
between a government informant and a man named Fedrick Farmer.
After Herrera's arrest in a Burger King parking lot in Summit, Ill.,

he waived his right to talk to a lawyer and signed a statement
admitting his role, government records say.
"Herrera further said he would make $500 on the transaction," the

DEA affidavit says.
Authorities arrested Farmer, Herrera and a third man, Juan

Gutierrez, who is described as handing the informant a duffel bag
filled with cash totaling more than $60,000 in exchange for 3
kilograms of cocaine.
The DEA affidavit also says the investigation into Herrera

began after an unnamed suspect was arrested in March
during an investigation of methamphetamine sales.
The suspect told police he had personally delivered 20 kilograms of

cocaine smuggled directly from Mexico to an East Chicago police
officer's home, federal records say. The suspect placed a recorded
phone call to Herrera in which the officer agreed to discuss a future
cocaine sale with an associate of the suspect, the DEA alleges.
The suspect has since "disappeared" and now is a fugitive from

justice, the affidavit says.
Soon afterward, another DEA informant called Herrera and claimed

to be the associate of the meth suspect.
The affidavit alleges Herrera initially agreed to buy multiple

kilogram quantities of Mexican cocaine from the DEA
informant during numerous phone calls and three in-person
meetings at a Mexican restaurant in Bridgeview, Ill.
During their fourth meeting, when the drugs allegedly were to be

exchanged, Herrera was arrested.
At the time of his arrest, Herrera had a fully loaded .45-caliber Colt
semi-automatic handgun tucked into his waistband in addition to
a .357-caliber unloaded handgun in the center console of his
vehicle, the DEA alleges.
Herrera, who was not on duty at the time of his arrest, is an 18-
year veteran of the department.
Police Chief Angelo Machuca said Monday he will be requesting to

have Herrera placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the
outcome of the case.

"It is regrettable that my department's image has been tarnished

by one individual's actions," Machuca said in a written statement.
"It bothers me to hear of an officer that has gone wrong because I
do have an outstanding, dedicated group of officers."

A man identified by authorities as an East Chicago police officer has

been charged in a federal drug conspiracy case, according to
prosecutors.
Xavier Herrera, 47, was charged in a criminal complaint last week

with conspiring to possess cocaine with the intent to distribute it,
court records show. On Thursday, Herrera allegedly brought
$60,000 to what he thought would be a drug deal for 5
kilograms of cocaine.
The source of the drugs was working for the Drug Enforcement
Administration, prosecutors said. Herrera, who was off-duty, was
arrested at the sale location in the parking lot of a fast-food
restaurant in Summit.
Arrested along with Herrera were Juan Gutierrez, 29, and Federick
Farmer, 34, both of Chicago. All three men were expected to
appear in federal court in Chicago for a detention hearing
Wednesday.
A call to the East Chicago Police Department was referred to the

police chief, who was not immediately available for comment.

EAST CHICAGO -- A veteran East Chicago police officer caught in a

federal drug sting has been charged with trying to buy $60,000
worth of cocaine from a police informant, officials announced
Monday.
Xavier Herrera, 47, and two other suspects are being held in the
Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago pending a Wednesday
detention hearing before Magistrate Judge Susan Cox in U.S.
District Court.
Herrera was arrested Thursday with two Chicago men on federal

charges of conspiracy to possess and distribute 3 kilograms of
cocaine.
According to a federal affidavit, Herrera tried to buy the

cocaine Thursday morning in a Summit, Ill., Burger King
parking lot from a confidential source working with the Drug
Enforcement Agency. Summit is a small community just west
of Chicago's Midway Airport.
Herrera was arrested on the scene, along with suspects Juan

Gutierrez and Fredrick Farmer, officials said.
East Chicago Police Chief Angelo Machuca said he would

recommend to the city's Board of Public Safety that Herrera be

placed on leave without pay pending termination.
"I further believe that this is an isolated incident and no other

officers were involved," Machuca said in a statement.
Herrera, an 18-year veteran of the East Chicago force, is the

brother of former Lake County Sheriff's Department
employee Ponciano Herrera, who pleaded guilty this year to
misdemeanor vote fraud for irregularities involving absentee
ballots in the 2003 East Chicago mayoral primary.
Thursday's Burger King meeting followed several months of

conversations between Xavier Herrera and federal informants.
Herrera came to the DEA's attention after a man was arrested in

March for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, according to
the affidavit.
In a plea bargain, that man agreed to cooperate with federal

agents. He told them that in 2006, he delivered 20 kilograms of
cocaine from Mexico directly to a man later identified as Xavier
Herrera, according to the affidavit.
After contacting Herrera, the man disappeared and is now a fugitive

from the DEA, according to the affidavit.
The police informant in Thursday's drug sting posed as an associate

of the methamphetamine suspect.
During previous meetings with the informant, Herrera talked

about buying as many as 20 kilograms of cocaine at $18,000
per kilogram. He said he could then sell each for $21,000,
according to the affidavit.
At 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Herrera arrived at the Burger King parking

lot in one vehicle, Gutierrez and Farmer in another.
Herrera brought the informant to Farmer's car, where Gutierrez

passed the informant a duffel bag Herrera said contained "60 ...
and change," according to the affidavit.
Once he exited the car, the informant signaled to federal agents,

who arrested all three men.
When he was arrested, Herrera had a loaded .45 semi-automatic

handgun in his waistband. He told officers he was brokering the
cocaine sale for Farmer, the affidavit states.

with consipracy to possess and distribute cocaine.
Xavier Herrera, 47, an East Chicago, Ind., police officer; and

Juan Gutierrez, 29, and Fredrick Farmer, 34, both of Chicago, were
arrested Thursday morning at a Burger King parking lot in south
suburban Summit, according to the federal criminal complaint.
The investigation began in March when a man arrested by DEA

agents for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine agreed to
cooperate in exchange for a possible sentence reduction. He told
DEA agents that in 2006, he transported two loads of cocaine from
Juarez, Mexico to the Chicago area, the complaint states.
He told agents that each load contained approximately 10 kilograms

of cocaine, according to the complaint. He identified the recipient of
the two loads as an individual named “Javier,” whom agents later
identified as Herrera, the complaint said.
The cooperating witness, after phoning Herrera to talk about a drug

deal, later disappeared and is now a fugitive, the complaint said.
On April 2, a paid confidential source working with the DEA placed a

recorded call to Herrera and during this conversation, the source
introduced himself as a friend of the other man and suggested
meeting with Herrera to discuss the possibility of his selling multiple
kilograms of cocaine to Herrera, the complaint said. Herrera agreed
to meet with the source in Chicago.
On April 15, the two met at a Mexican restaurant in Bridgeview to

discuss the deal, the complaint said. Herrera allegedly told the
source he could sell each kilogram of cocaine for $21,000 and
therefore wanted to purchase the cocaine at $18,000 per kilogram.
Herrera said that if the price was right, he would be able to
purchase 10 kilograms, the complaint states.
After many more calls between the men, they met Thursday
morning in the parking lot of the Burger King at Archer and Harlem,
the complaint states.
Herrera was driving a black Toyota Tundra, with another man in the
passenger seat. A Chevrolet Impala, driven by Farmer, then got to
the scene. Gonzalez was in the passenger seat of the Impala, the
complaint said. After the two vehicles arrived, Herrera got out of
the Tundra and approached the source. Herrera told the source he
only had enough money for three kilograms of cocaine

and asked the source if he would front the remaining two

kilograms. The source refused to front any cocaine and asked to
see the money.
Herrera then led the source to the Impala. Herrera and the source
got into the back seat of the Impala and once inside, Gonzalez
handed the source a duffel bag. The source opened the duffel bag
and looked inside. Herrera told the source that there was “sixty . . .
and change” inside the duffel bag. The source understood this to
mean that there was a little more than $60,000 inside the bag, the
complaint said. After receiving the money from Gonzalez, the
source got out of the Impala, gave the arrest signal, and DEA
agents and Summit police officers arrested Herrera, Gonzalez and
Farmer.
When officers arrested Herrera, they found a fully-loaded .45

caliber Colt 90 semi-automatic handgun in his waistband, the
complaint said. Another unloaded .357 caliber handgun was found
in the center console of the Tundra. Herrera was not on duty at the
time.
The three men are charged with conspiracy to possess and

distribute three kilograms of cocaine.
They had their initial court appearances after their arrests and are
being held in federal custody pending a detention hearing at 10:30
a.m. Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Cox in U.S.
District Court in Chicago.

Norwich, Conn. —
Veteran Norwich Police Lt. Michael Blanchette was arrested

Friday in New York City on heroin possession charges, police
said.
Norwich Police Chief Louis J. Fusaro has ordered an internal

investigation seeking details of the arrest.
“I’m disappointed,” Fusaro said. “I certainly hope this does not

reflect on the hard work being performed by the men and women at
the department.”
Blanchette, 43, has been on medical leave and collecting worker’s

compensation for about 16 months because of a knee injury.
As per department policy, Blanchette was stripped of police powers

and placed on administrative suspension after 30 days of absence
from the department.
He is one of four lieutenants on the force.
Blanchette was charged with criminal possession of a controlled

substance at 11:30 a.m. Friday in the Bronx, said New York City
police Det. Brian Sessa. The charge is a misdemeanor, Sessa said.
Norwich Police Deputy Chief Warren Mocek, who has been assigned
to conduct the internal investigation, said the department was
notified of the arrest by New York City police.
“At this point, we are seeking more detailed information about the
arrest,” Mocek said. “This is a difficult thing to hear. We’re held to a
higher standard, and the public has a right to expect that.”
Like Fusaro, Mocek said he hoped the allegations did not lead the
public to think less of the officers at the department.
This is not the first legal trouble for Blanchette. In 2004, he

was arrested by fellow officers in connection with a series of
domestic disputes with his wife during divorce proceedings.
The charges later were dismissed after the court ordered Blanchette
to attend counseling and a family violence education program.
Legal proceedings are still pending for fired Norwich Police Officer
Jamie Longolucco, who faces assault, threatening and burglary
charges in three separate criminal cases.

Posts: 31403 Bronx, N.Y. — A Norwich police lieutenant who has been out on
medical leave for more than a year was arrested Friday morning on
drug possession charges.
Lt. Michael Blanchette, 42, was arrested at about 11:30 a.m. after
he left a building in the vicinity of 2840 Bailey Ave. in Bronx, N.Y.
known for drug activity, according to Officer Martin Brown, a
spokesman for the New York City police.
Brown said Blanchette — a 20-year veteran of the department —

was stopped by officers and found in possession of a small box
containing crack cocaine residue. Other individuals arrested at the
scene were in possession of heroin, Brown said.
Blanchette was arrested for seventh-degree possession of a

controlled substance, a misdemeanor. Police said he was taken into
custody without incident and released that day on a promise to
appear in Bronx Criminal Court June 30.
Norwich Deputy Chief Warren Mocek was assigned to conduct an

internal investigation into the incident after New York City police
notified the department.
The Norwich chief and deputy chief referred comment to Norwich
Police Capt. Timothy Menard, who said Blanchette will be given an
opportunity to be interviewed as part of the Norwich investigation.
Blanchette, who has been out for 16 months following knee-
replacement surgery, has been placed on administrative suspension
and will continue to collect worker’s compensation pay.
Alderman Mark Bettencourt, chairman of the City Council Public

Safety Committee, said it would be inappropriate to comment on
the charges until the case is adjudicated.
“Obviously, the department is going to have to conduct an internal

investigation,” Bettencourt said. “I’m certainly not going to interfere
with that.”

But referring to an extensive survey of Norwich police officers

completed last year, Bettencourt said there apparently are morale
and behavioral problems within the department. Police leaders and
the city manager are responsible for enacting changes within the
department to address the shortcomings in the survey.
Bettencourt said the Public Safety Committee has discussed the

issues in the survey with city and police administrators and should
do so again this summer, once the budget deliberations are
completed. The committee would want to know what measures
have been put in place to improve the police department and what
else should be done.
“If the charges are true, it’s a disappointment that a police officer
would be involved in that type of behavior, especially a supervisor,”
Bettencourt said.
Aldermen William Nash and Jonathan Jacaruso, the other members

of the Public Safety Committee, were not available for comment
this afternoon.
Menard said the charges against Blanchette are not part of a larger
problem at the police department.
“Basically, it’s a personal integrity type issue. It’s not reflective of

the police officers here as a whole, nor is it reflective of police
officers in the country,” Menard said. “Police officers are human
beings and they are susceptible to the same temptations and issues
that the general population are.”
Jamie Longolucco, who was fired from the Norwich police

department in December, has three criminal cases pending against
him for assault, burglary and threatening.
Blanchette was arrested in 2004 on domestic disturbance charges

after his estranged wife told police that he had repeatedly harassed
her, entered her home uninvited and shoved her. The charges
against Blanchette were later dismissed after Blanchette agreed to
attend family violence education classes and counseling.
A Bronx Criminal Court clerk said the details of Blanchette’s arrest

have not yet been filed in court.

The brother of a Norwich police officer arrested Friday on drug
possession charges in New York City, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to
multiple felony drug charges.
Anthony Blanchette, 29, of Norwich, faces two counts of third-

degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third- and
second-degree criminal trespass, fourth-degree criminal possession
of a controlled substance and seventh-degree criminal possession of
a controlled substance.
He was arrested with 390 envelopes of heroin, New York City Police
said.
Norwich Police Lt. Michael Blanchette, 42, Anthony

Blanchette’s brother, faces the misdemeanor charge of
seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled
substance.
The elder Blanchette, who was released on the day of his arrest, is
scheduled to appear June 30 in a Bronx court. He is now the subject
of an internal investigation at the Norwich Police Department.

Norwich, Conn. —
A high ranking city police officer recently arrested on drug charges

in New York is planning to retire, city officials said Wednesday.
Lt. Michael Blanchette, 42, who reached the 20-year mark at the
department earlier this year, is expected to come before the
Personnel and Pension Board at an undetermined date.
Human Resources Director Thomas Dawkins said the board — a mix

of residents and city employees — will decide whether Blanchette
qualifies for retirement and, if so, the amount of his pension. He
declined further comment.
Blanchette was arrested May 16 on misdemeanor drug

possession charges in New York City. His brother, Anthony
Blanchette, faces more serious felony drug possession
charges in an arrest the same night.
Michael Blanchette is due to appear June 30 in a Bronx

criminal court.
Blanchette’s arrest prompted an internal investigation by Deputy

Chief Warren Mocek.
Norwich Police Capt. Timothy Menard said Blanchette’s retirement

“has no bearing on whether we continue our investigation.” He
conceded that any discipline would be moot if Blanchette retired
before the investigation is completed.
Blanchette had been on medical leave for 16 months leading up to

his arrest. Under department policy, he was placed on
administrative suspension after 30 days absence.
Pension Board Chairman Paul Schroder could not be reached

Wednesday for comment. The board’s next scheduled meeting is
June 17, though an agenda has not been posted for the meeting.
Blanchette was arrested in 2004 in connection with a

domestic incident with his former wife. The charges later

were dismissed.

Melvin Hernandez, a spokesman for the Bronx district attorney's

Anthony Blanchette is due in court again July 29 on several

charges. The younger Blanchette was charged with possession of a
controlled substance with intent to sell, a Class B felony, criminal
possession of a hallucinogen and criminal trespass. He allegedly
was found in possession of 390 bags of heroin.
While his New York case appears resolved, Lt. Blanchette and his
brother also are part of a federal Drug Enforcement Administration
investigation into drug activities of two other local men facing
serious drug trafficking charges. An affidavit for alleged drug dealer
Shawn Wawrzynowicz includes information that Anthony
Blanchette, Wawrzynowicz and his partner Joshua Zinewicz all
purchased heroin from the same supplier at the Bronx apartment
complex where the Blanchettes were arrested.
The expanded investigation has complicated the internal

investigation city police officials are conducting on Blanchette's

arrest. That investigation, which could lead to disciplinary action,

remains ongoing.

In the midst of the high profile case of Jimmy Fennell, the

Georgetown Police Department is facing yet another hurdle.
“I would say it seems like it would be kind of a tough time for

them,” Georgetown Asst. City Manager Jim Briggs said.
Georgetown Police Chief David Morgan's daughter was arrested

June 15 and spent a week in jail before posting bond.

“You can’t fault David in this particular case for the actions of his
daughter,” Briggs said.
Police said they found a plastic bag containing a large

amount of marijuana on the backseat floor in front of 18-
year-old Samantha Morgan's seat.
They also found more than $1,200 in cash.
An arrest affidavit said she was a passenger in a vehicle that was

pulled over by Georgetown police.
Police said Samantha Morgan resisted arrest and kicked an officer in

the thigh before being subdued.
She was then taken to the jail where she was searched.
Police said they also found cocaine in her possession.
Morgan is charged with possession of a controlled substance,

assault of a public servant, delivery of marijuana and evading arrest.
She was released on bail on Monday.
David Morgan has been police chief since 2000.
“David’s going to have a tough time dealing with this, personally. I

think professionally, he has done a very competent job,” Briggs said.
But, it seems some others are questioning that, especially due to

the Fennell case.
The city contends Chief Morgan’s job is not in jeopardy.
“It’s hard being a parent, and it’s hard working through that, and
we all face those challenges,” Briggs said.
For Chief Morgan, those challenges include others already facing his
department.
Chief Morgan released a statement Wednesday saying he was

saddened by his daughter’s arrest, but that not everyone is a
perfect parent with perfect children.

GEORGETOWN — Samantha Ann Morgan, the 18-year-old daughter
of Georgetown Police Chief David Morgan, could face up to 22 years
in prison on charges stemming from an altercation with a police
officer.
Officials said Samanatha was riding with three males in a

sport-utility vehicle that was stopped June 15 for a broken
headlight. When officer Shanna Shelly obtained permission
to search the vehicle, she found a purse that contained a bag
of marijuana and $1,247 in cash, the affidavit said.
When the officer attempted to arrest Morgan, she ran about 200
yards then dropped to the ground, the affidavit said. While the
officer attempted to put her in the police car, Morgan kicked the
officer in the thigh, the Austin American-Statesman reported in its
online editions Thursday.
Morgan was strip-searched in the Williamson County Jail, and

officers found 2.7 grams of crack cocaine. She was charged with
assault on a public servant, evading arrest and delivery of
marijuana and was released Saturday with bail set at $3,500.
"They performed their duty and held my daughter accountable for

her behavior, just as they would any other citizen. As a parent,
though she is an adult, she will always be my daughter and I will
always be there for her with love in my heart," David Morgan said
in a written statement.

MUNCIE - A Delaware County sheriff’s deputy was among the 11
drunken driving arrests made by Indiana State Police during
sobriety checkpoint last weekend.
A checkpoint on Broadway near Wabash Avenue stopped deputy

Ray A. Dudley, 39, just after midnight early Sunday.
ISP trooper Nicholas Hoffman reported that Dudley’s eyes were

bloodshot and glassy and he had a strong smell of alcohol.

Dudley, who was driving his private car, was preliminarily

charged with driving while intoxicated after tests measured
his blood-alcohol content at 0.10 percent. In Indiana,
motorists with a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher are
considered intoxicated.
The deputy bonded out of jail after posting $500.
County sheriff’s Capt. Mike Scroggins said Dudley was taken off of
road duty and assigned to administrative duties in the sheriff’s
office pending an investigation.
Pending the outcome of the drunken driving case, Dudley also could
face disciplinary action.
Dudley has been a county deputy since 1998 and also has been a
drug abuse resistance education officer for the department.
State police conducted sobriety checkpoints last Thursday and

Saturday nights, making nine misdemeanor drunken driving
arrests, two felony arrests involving previously convicted drunken
drivers and six more arrest sfor suspended drivers.
The checkpoints also resulted in 28 traffic violations and another 35

traffic warnings.
State police also arrested a teenager after noticing a car driving on

the sidewalk and going left of center near the checkpoint.
Dane M. Watters, 18, was preliminarily charged with minor

consuming and driving while intoxicated after failing a field sobriety
test.
State police intend to continue drunk driving patrols and

checkpoints throughout the summer.
(For more information, see www.thestarpress.com later and read

Tuesday's print edition of The Star Press.)

Muncie - A Delaware County sheriff deputy is in trouble after state

police arrested him for drunk driving at a sobriety checkpoint.
Ray Dudley, a 10-year veteran of the department, was among 11

people arrested for drunken driving at the police checkpoints.
Dudley was driving his personal car early Sunday when he was
arrested with a blood alcohol content of .10. The legal limit in
Indiana is .08.
Ironically, Dudley is also a DARE officer for the department, who

speaks in schools about the dangers of substance abuse.
The department said no one was available to comment on Dudley's

arrest Tuesday. In addition to criminal charges, he could also face
disciplinary action.
Tuesday, public reaction to the arrest - particularly given Dudley's

role as a DARE officer - was swift.
"I'd say he needs to practice what he preaches," said Muncie

resident Sandy Stewart.
"The law pertains to everybody and not just certain people. The law
in Indiana says no drinking and driving. That pretty much covers
itself," said retired deputy Rex McCoy.
"My child's not in school, he's four," said Amanda Harper. "Once he
goes to school, I wouldn't want that kind of person saying, 'Don't do
this', when they turn around and do it."
State Police say they'll continue drunk driving patrols and

checkpoints through the summer. They conducted checkpoints
Thursday and Saturday. Dudley was pulled over and arrested by a
trooper working Saturday night.
He was released from jail on bond and has been placed on

administrative duties in the department pending an investigation.

A federal investigation of steroid use among law enforcement
officers including Metro Police has spread to Murfreesboro, with a
city officer there being decommissioned as part of the probe.
In addition, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the

investigation said it would likely spread to involve officers from
other Middle Tennessee communities, including nearby Wilson
County.

Murfreesboro Police Officer Phillip Hatcher was decommissioned

Friday as part of the federal investigation, according to Officer Kyle
Evans, spokesperson for the department.
A spokesperson for the Metro Nashville Police Department has

confirmed Metro was involved with Hatcher’s case. Three
Nashville police officers, Mike Evans, Danny Cage and
Stephen Reece, were decommissioned late last month after
officers arrested a man Feb. 19 for possession of steroids for
resale.
“I can confirm that Metro detectives were among those who

interviewed Murfreesboro Police employee Phillip Hatcher on
Friday,” said Don Aaron, Metro Police spokesperson.
The federal Drug Enforcement Agency field office in Nashville is

conducting the investigation into steroid use among law
enforcement officials in Middle Tennessee. DEA Special Agent in
Charge Harry Sommers confirmed an investigation was ongoing,
but would not disclose how long the agency had been investigating
steroid use among police officers in Middle Tennessee.
The arrest of Wilson County resident Scott Haines eventually led to

the decommissioning of the three Metro officers, Aaron said,
although he did not indicate the direct connection among the four,
if any at all.
“As a result of the investigation that led to [Haines’] arrest in mid-

February, information was received that potentially linked the three
officers to steroid use,” Aaron said.
Haines was arrested after officers allegedly saw him conducting

sales from his vehicle, according to police. They recovered 2,200
dosage units, which can be in liquid or tablet form, of anabolic
steroids and $3,090 cash.
The following day, officers at Haines’ home in South Nashville found

500 additional dosage units of steroids and 300 grams of powder
used to manufacture steroids.
One law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation

said it was likely officers living in Wilson County would next surface
in the federal probe.
Although no officers have been decommissioned, steroid use

allegations have also been swirling around the Tennessee Highway
Patrol.
“We are investigating allegations against… two [officials] and that’s

requiring that we do some testing to see whether there’s any truth
to those allegations,” said Mike Browning, spokesperson for the
state Department of Safety.
There is no official investigation currently, according to Browning,

and he did not indicate any connection with the federal

investigation that has touched Davidson and Rutherford counties.
The Murfreesboro and Metro Nashville Police Departments continue

to investigate the alleged steroid usage, while the federal
investigation is ongoing.

Murfreesboro Officer Snagged In Steroid Probe

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- A federal investigation into steroid use

among police officers and the public has ensnared another officer
and a personal trainer.
On Friday, Murfreesboro Officer Phillip Hatcher graduated from the

police academy and was stripped of his gun and badge on the same
day. Investigators arrived the same day to interview the new
graduate.
"I can confirm that Metro officers were among those who
interviewed an employee of the Murfreesboro Police Department on
Friday. That is part of this ongoing steroid investigation,” said Metro

police spokesman Don Aaron.
Hatcher, three Metro police officers and an unknown number of

state troopers are being investigated.
A photograph obtained from authorities by the Channel 4 I-Team

showed nearly 100 vials of drugs that were seized as part of a joint
Metro police and Drug Enforcement Agency investigation into
steroid use in middle Tennessee.
"Make no mistake, there have been a lot of steroid material seized

over the past several weeks," said Aaron.
A large quantity of the drugs, according to police, was sold by

former personal trainer Scott Haines.
Metro police arrested Haines last week when officers said they
found him dealing steroids out of his car and apartment.
Police said they believe Haines was supplying the three Metro
officers with the drugs.
The I-Team has also learned that investigators are awaiting drug
tests on some state troopers to see if they will test positive for
steroids.
"This investigation is not over by any means," said Aaron.
The head agent of the DEA said the investigation falls under a much
larger probe into steroid use and distribution in middle Tennessee.
Channel 4 News was told by authorities that the investigation will

go far beyond a single supplier of the drugs.
Hatcher has been stripped of his police powers and placed on

administrative duty. The three Metro officers have also been
decommissioned and must remain at home pending the
investigation.
Haines is in jail because his arrest last week was a violation of his
probation for a methamphetamine conviction.

UPDATED: 7:39 pm CST March 5, 2008
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A widespread investigation into steroids has

snared three Metro police officers.
Channel 4 first reported on Tuesday night that east precinct Officer

Mike Evans, Hermitage precinct Officer Danny Cage and warrants
Officer Stephen Reece had been stripped of their guns and badges.
"Currently three members of the police department and members

of the community are under a joint police and federal
investigation,” said Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas.
Evans, Cage and Reece all received letters from Metro police that
stripped them of all police authority pending the outcome of an
investigation into steroid use.
The investigation goes beyond the officers, Channel 4’s Jeremy

Finley reported. The Drug Enforcement Agency is in the midst of a

large investigation into the manufacturers and distributors of

steroids in middle Tennessee, according to Finley’s information.
It is not clear how the three officers are thought to be involved, but
Finley confirmed that Reece use to own a health supplement
company.
“The partnership between us and the federal agencies will give us a

chance to fully explore the allegations,” Serpas said.
The allegations mean the officers cannot go to work and must

remain in their homes during normal work hours and also must call
into to the chief's office twice per day. The restrictions are in place
while investigators try to determine if the officers have taken part
in illegal activities.
“We're going to let the investigation run its course and see where it
brings us,” Serpas said when he was asked if he was disappointed.
Reece’s attorney said Reece would not be commenting on the

investigation at this time. According to their files, none of the
officers had serious disciplinary actions taken against them.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Highway Patrol is facing

another scandal.
Video: I-Team: Troopers Investigated In Steroid Probe
I-Team reporter Jeremy Finley reports that state troopers are being
investigated in a steroid probe that has already ensnared three
Metro police officers.
A THP spokeswoman confirmed to Finley that an internal

investigation is under way into allegations of troopers using or
selling steroids.
The investigation comes two weeks after the I-Team spoke to Metro
Police Chief Ronal Serpas. Serpas indicated in the interview that his
officers weren't the only ones being investigated.
"Currently, three members of the police department and members

of the community are under a joint police and federal
investigation," he said.
It was unclear at the time that members of the community Serpas

may have been alluding to also included state troopers.
The three Metro officers have been temporarily stripped of their

badges and guns during the investigation. The THP spokeswoman
said no troopers have been taken off the streets while the
allegations are being investigated.
The Drug Enforcement Agency, which is heading the investigation,

said only that it has a large investigation under way and will not say
what role -- if any -- the officers and troopers played.
The Office of Professional Accountability for the THP is investigating

the allegations.
The spokeswoman for the THP said she did not know if any other
agencies were investigating.
A trooper was charged last year and accused of exchanging sexual

favors with an adult film star to get her out of a ticket. In 2006, the
Gov. Phil Bredesen ordered sweeping changes to the force after
troopers were discovered with criminal backgrounds and were also
accused of getting promotions for political contributions.

Posts: 31403 RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. - A Murfreesboro police officer has
been decommissioned after being linked to a federal steroid
investigation.
Federal drug agents have taken the lead in the investigation that
has also implemented three Metro police officers.
Murfreesboro police officer Phillip Hatcher may have found his

career over before it began. Just days after graduating from police
academy Hatcher lost his badge after being linked to a federal
steroid investigation.
In February, Scott Haines was arrested and accused of selling

steroids. A Metro police detective told NewsChannel 5 that Haines
arrest was connected to Hathcer's case.
The detective also said the investigation into three Metro police
officers and an unknown number of THP officers also falls under the
same federal probe.
Hatcher has been working with the city of Murfreesboro since 2005
as a police dispatcher. Officials said since that time, Hatcher had a
total of five disciplinary incidents on his record - including misuse of
sick leave and insubordination.

Officials said Hatcher has been placed on desk duty until the
Murfreesboro Police Department can perform its own internal
investigation.

Two Tennessee Highway Patrol officers have been placed on
administrative leave with pay pending an internal investigation.
The Department of Safety says Sgt. Larry Hitchc*ck and Trooper

William Futrell are under investigation by the Office of
Professional Responsibility.
Spokeswoman Laura McPherson would not give further details on

the investigation, but the Highway Patrol has said it is looking into
allegations of troopers using or selling steroids.
The investigation into the two officers started on March 12 after the
department received external information about the employees.
Hitch**** began his career as a trooper in January 1994 and was

promoted to sergeant in 2003. He is currently assigned to the THP's
3rd District in Nashville and previously worked in Wilson County and
the THP Training Center.
Futrell joined the THP as a trooper in January 2005 and is currently

working at the THP Training Center. His previous assignment was in
District 4 in Hardeman County.
A similar investigation into steroid use or sale by officers at the

Nashville Police Department led to temporary disciplinary action this
year against three officers, who were stripped of badges and guns.

Investigations into anabolic steroid use by police officers have led
to resignations and terminations in at least two Middle Tennessee
police agencies.
Officers from Metro police and Murfreesboro police have been

implicated in the wide-reaching steroid bust and an accompanying
federal investigation. At the same time, two officers from the
Tennessee Highway Patrol were put on paid administrative leave as
part of an unspecified internal investigation.
Murfreesboro Police Officer Phillip Hatcher was fired

Wednesday after he was found to be using steroids,
according to a press release. He was stripped of his police
powers last week after police officials learned he was part of
a federal investigation.
According to a letter from Murfreesboro Police Chief Glenn Chrisman

to the city manager, Hatcher admitted he had been injecting
steroids since high school.
Officers on leave from the THP are Sgt. Larry Hitch**** Jr.,
36, and Trooper William D. Futrell, also 36. Hitch**** was
assigned to the Nashville headquarters and worked previously at
the THP training center. Futrell was most recently assigned to the
THP training center.
THP officials confirmed early this month they were looking into
allegations of steroid use among troopers. But THP spokesman Mike

Browning said he could not confirm whether these suspensions are

related.
He also said he didn't know whether criminal charges were

anticipated. "It's still too early in the investigation, so it would be
premature one way or another," Browning said.
Police trainee resigns
Three Metro police officers were decommissioned Feb. 29 after they

were implicated in steroid use. Officers Mike Evans, Danny Cage
and Stephen Reece are on "administrative assignment" with
pay and required to be at home from the work hours of 7:30
a.m. to 4 p.m., police spokesman Don Aaron said.
A police trainee also resigned after he was questioned in the

investigation, Aaron said.
Sena Omer, 24, was set to graduate from the police academy
March 6. He resigned the day before after questioning from
detectives, police said.
The investigation was sparked in part by the Feb. 19 arrest of Steve

Haines, a part-time personal trainer who police said was recently
employed at the Nashville Athletic Club in Antioch.
Detectives recovered 2,200 doses of anabolic steroids and $3,090

in cash from Haines' car.
Aaron declined to specify what relationship Haines had, if any, to

the Metro officers.
"All I can say is that information came to the attention of the police
department in late February suggesting the possibility that three
may have steroid involvement," Aaron said.
The officers were told to check in with officers and be prepared to

report to the department at any time during work hours. The
department also advised the officers to review laws on interfering
with government operations and obstructing justice.
Turner Hutchens of Gannett Tennessee contributed. Contact Kate

Howard at 726-8968 or kahoward@tennessean.com.

Posts: 31403 NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Hendersonville police officer was fired after
being accused of buying steroids.
Chief Terry Frizzell said Thursday Charles Cakora broke the law
before he became an officer.
Cakora is the eighth officer in the region to be fired or

decommissioned due to the federal investigation.
The investigation has focused on several police officers.
Metro police officers Mike Evans, Charles Cage and Stephen Reece
were recently suspended as federal agents investigate their possible
connection to steroids.
The appeal of bulging muscles and increased strength is a natural

draw for men in high-risk, physical professions, a source told
NewsChannel. His name and identity were withheld.
"Law enforcement officers should be held to a higher standard.

They should be, but they're human, too," said the source only
identified on air as Joe.
He said he does not use or deal steroids, but he is in a position to

know the scene.
He said it has become low key in recent weeks.
"Since the investigation has started, I would say, yeah, people are
kind of scared," he said.
Not enough to stop taking steroids despite the risks including so-
called 'roid rage.
"I've see patients who have almost committed homicides just from
being so revved up from steroids," said Dr. Richard Garman, one of
the team physicians for the Nashville Predators.

The National Hockey League tests for steroids. Garmen said the
players know not to use them.
But he said he can understand the appeal for police officers.
"I don't want to condone the use of steroids, but on the other hand
it may not be a bad idea to have a really strong police officer," he
said.
"The officers I see coming in my store are doing it the right way,"
said Mark Johnson, who owns American Nutritional Wholesalers, a
favorite among Metro police officers.
Johnson said scientific advances make legal supplements a safe

alternative to steroids.
"The FDA has a banned list and everything on my shelf is legal. It

hasn't been banned," he said.
Personal trainer Johnny Ward said he steers clients to legal

supplements even though some often ask about steroids.
"I don't recommend it," he said.
But Ward said some are driven to look like James "Flex" Lewis, a
world-class bodybuilder. Lewis said he uses supplements, not
steroids. He said good results do not come quickly.
"With bodybuilding it's not going to come overnight," Lewis said

during a recent visit to Nashville. "Contrary to what people think it's
not going to happen overnight."
Sources said plenty of people look at Lewis as the ideal.
"From a cop's perspective bigger is better than small and tough is

better than weak," Joe said about why some officers opt for steroids
to improve their physiques.
He said more officers are using steroids in Middle Tennessee, but it

is unclear if they will be named in the federal probe.
Most police officers do not use illegal steroids and only a few
Midstate police have been accused. No one has been convicted.
Health experts said steroids may build muscle, but they are
associated with a wide range of health problems and side effects
including heart disease, cancer and uncontrollable aggression.

UPDATED: 5:39 pm CDT June 16, 2008
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Metro Police Department announced on

Monday that all officers will be tested for steroids in addition to
their current drug testing program.
The decision comes just months after three officers were

decommissioned after a steroid investigation.
"This police department insists on the highest standards of behavior

from our employees in providing the most professional police
services possible. It is imperative that the communities we serve
have strong confidence that this is an agency totally committed to a
drug-free work force. That drug-free definition includes anabolic
steroids," said Chief Ronal Serpas.
An officer who was still going through training also resigned in

March after his name came up in the investigation.
According to the Metro Police Department, Nashville joins other

police departments, including Dallas and New York City, which this
year added, or are about to add, anabolic steroids to random drug
testing programs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Channel 4 I-Team reported that someone

hired by the state to keep drug users on the right path admitted to
using and selling steroids.
Watch This Story

http://www.wsmv.com/video/16689367/index.html
State probation officer Mike Lankford was placed on

administrative leave after admitting to using and selling steroids to
investigators, the I-Team's Jeremy Finley reported on Monday.
Finley said the officer also has ties to the chief suspected dealer in a
steroid investigation that has a number of law enforcement officers
caught up in it.
"Whenever there's any kind of allegations of illegal activities, it

bothers us," said Office of Probation and Parole representative Jack
Elder.
In a Metro police investigative report obtained by the I-Team,

Lankford told investigators he purchased steroids, injected them
into himself and sold them.
In the report, Lankford names Scott Haines, the trainer charged

with selling steroids to officers in middle Tennessee.
Before Haines was arrested on the steroids charges, he was on

probation for a methamphetamine conviction.
Haines was on probation in the same office where Lankford worked.

In the report, Lankford admits to purchasing the drugs from Haines.
"Well, if all that plays out, it is troubling," Elder said.
The I-Team also reported that Lankford also admitted to telling a

"named individual" that Haines was about to be arrested on steroid
charges before Haines even knew of the warrant out for his arrest.
"We have no knowledge of that situation," Elder said.
Lankford also told investigators that he and his wife were using
ecstasy pills while he was employed as a state probation officer, the
I-Team reported.
Lankford has not been arrested or charged. Attempts made to get

Lankford's side of the story were unsuccessful.
The state said Lankford was allowed to keep his job and keep
working after admitting to the allegations in the report because
they didn't get the findings from investigators until last Thursday.
Lankford was put on administrative leave with pay the next day.

Buttomfly Minneapolis cops Scott D Mars, William D Thornbury charged in gunshot

Junior Member incident (MN)
Registered: Mar 2008 Off-duty officers accused of drinking

Location: Wisconsin
Posts: 18 Two Minneapolis police officers have been charged with firing their
handguns while off duty outside a party in Minneapolis last month.
Scott D. Mars, 34, and William D. Thornbury, 28, both face

charges of intentional discharge of a firearm and reckless discharge
of a firearm — felonies — and carrying a pistol while under the
influence, a misdemeanor, in the May 28 incident, according to the
Dakota County attorney's office.
The Hennepin County attorney's office handed off the case to

Dakota County to avoid a conflict of interest.

According to prosecutors:
A neighbor to a Minneapolis house party told a couple of partygoers

to quiet down or he was going to call police.
The man then walked back to his yard. A black SUV pulled up
nearby, and a man inside yelled a profanity out the window.
The neighbor then heard gunshots coming from the direction of the
SUV as it sped away. Officers called to the scene found two 9 mm
bullet casings and three .45-caliber casings.
Police later located a black Chevrolet Tahoe nearby being driven by

Mars. Thornbury was a passenger.
Mars admitted he had discharged a handgun out of the truck's

sunroof.
During a search of the vehicle, police found a 9 mm handgun

registered to Mars and a .45-caliber handgun registered to
Thornbury. Officers also found nine 9 mm casings.
Both men had been drinking; Mars had a blood-alcohol level

of 0.19 percent, more than twice the 0.08 limit that
presumes impairment, and Thornbury had a concentration of
0.074 percent.
Later tests by the Minneapolis Police Department's Weapons

Identification Unit indicated the discharged bullets from the
scene matched cartridges fired from the guns found in the
car.
Mars and Thornbury have been charged by summons and complaint

and are expected in court within 30 to 45 days.
http://www.twincities.com/crime/ci_9652397
Funny how this is not being charged as drive-by shooting like all
others in MN. Statutes in MN would mean felony charges with at
least 3 years prison, forfeiture of the vehicle and a 10 year felony
conviction. Also they are not being charged with a DUI even though
they were seen driving and should have been given breathalizers. It
will be interesting to see how they whitewash this incident and
somehow plea deal out of the felony charges.

and 28-year-old William Thornbury fired their guns outside of a
party in South Minneapolis last month while they were off duty.
On the night of May 28th, Minneapolis Police responded to a 911

call in a south Minneapolis neighborhood. When they arrived they
never expected to be investigating two of their own.
According to the criminal complaint, earlier that evening a neighbor

walked over to a nearby home where a party was taking place and
asked some people standing outside to keep it down.
They apologized, but a little while later a black Chevy Tahoe left the
party and pulled in front of the man's house. The men inside the
SUV yelled a profanity and then fired several gunshots into the air
through the vehicle's sunroof.
"This is a very dangerous situation. Individuals easily could have

been seriously injured or killed," said Dakota County Attorney
James Backstrom.
Police arrived and pulled the Tahoe over. Inside they found two
guns and spent shell casings. They identified the driver as Officer
Scott Mars and the passenger as Officer William Thornbury.
Dakota County is handling this case because of conflict of interest,

but the case will still be tried in Hennepin County. Backstrom said
the two officers put lives in danger and their careers in jeopardy.
"They are going to be treated exactly the same as anyone else who
be doing a similar thing under these circumstances," said
Backstrom.
Both officers are on paid administrative leave until the case is

resolved. The men face two felony charges each, and Mars, the
driver of the Tahoe, also faces a drunken driving charge. His blood
alcohol level was 0.19 -- more than twice the legal limit.
If convicted of the felony charges, the men would lose their license
as police officers. They could also face a year in jail and thousands
of dollars in fines.

Two Minneapolis Police officers are on paid administrative leave

after officials say they fired their weapons in the city while they
were off-duty.
Police say it happened during a party last night on the 4200 block
of Wentworth Avenue South.
Neighbors say the officer frequently has loud parties at his home.
"I was awakened at 11:51 p.m. by what I thought was fireworks,"

said neighbor Linda Cohen. "We were so excited to have a police
officer move into our neighborhood—all the neighbors were talking
about it and how great it was going to be. Apparently it’s been
nothing but trouble."
Police say the two off-duty officers left the home and began firing
their weapons.
"I mean, c’mon. He’s a police officer. I hold them a little higher
standard," Cohen said.
The officers are being investigated internally. Officials told 5

EYEWITNESS NEWS there is also criminal investigation.

There were no injuries. Their names have not been released.

Two Minneapolis Police officers have been charged with felony
counts of Intentional Discharge of a Firearm and Reckless Discharge
of a Firearm in a Municipality.
Scott Donald Mars, 34, and William David Thornbury, 28,

were charged Friday morning in Dakota County Court,
accused of firing a weapon through the sunroof of an SUV.
Mars was also charged with two counts of fourth-degree DWI. Mars'
mug shot has not been released.
The charges stem from an incident on May 28 incident in

Minneapolis. The case was charged in Dakota County to avoid a
conflict of interest.
According to a news release from the Dakota County Attorney,

officers were dispatched to a south Minneapolis neighborhood on a
call of shots fired after a loud party. Witnesses said shots came
from a black SUV.
Investigating officers found two .9mm cartridge casings and

three .34 caliber discharged cartridge casings at the scene.

Later that night, Mars and Thornbury were pulled over in the same
neighborhood driving a black SUV. Police found two guns in the
vehicle.
When questioned by officers, Mars and Thornbury admitted to firing

shots in the neighborhood through the sunroof of the vehicle. They
were off-duty at the time the shots were fired and when they were
pulled over.
Blood-alcohol tests at the time they were pulled over

showed Mars, the driver, with a BAC of .19 and Thornbury
with a BAC of .074.
The Minneapolis Police Department’s Weapons ID unit determined

that the shell casings found at the scene had matching
characteristics to the cartridges found inside the vehicle.
The officers are on paid administrative leave from the department.
Each officer faces a maximum sentence of up to four years in

prison for the weapons charges.

Posts: 31403 FORT LAUDERDALE – A veteran Fort Lauderdale officer has been
arrested and fired after allegedly falsifying a police report.
Former Police Officer Robert Merkel, 45, has been charged with
one count of official misconduct, a felony, and one count of
falsifying official records, a misdemeanor, records show.
The exact circumstances surrounding Merkel’s arrest remain

unclear, but sources close to the investigation – who requested that

their names not be published – told the South Florida Times that
the case centers on cash that Merkel allegedly seized from a
suspect, but did not properly document.
“I’ve talked to them [prosecutors], and basically they believe some

information contained in a police report to be false,” said Fort
Lauderdale attorney Michael Dutko, who is representing Merkel.
Dutko said he has not yet received background materials on the

case.
Of Merkel’s termination from the Fort Lauderdale Police

Department, Dutko said, “I’m not involved in that. I’m just
representing him in the criminal case.”
Kim Fontana, assistant to Broward State Attorney’s Office

spokesman Ron Ishoy, confirmed the arrest, but declined to discuss
details of the case.
Merkel was arrested on May 29. City officials and union

representatives said they learned of the arrest when a reporter
contacted them.
“I’ve been out of town, and I haven’t seen or heard anything about
this,” said Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle, who is in Boston for a
League of Cities convention. “I just don’t have any details in order
to comment.”
“I was not aware of any arrest,” said a surprised Jack Lokiensky,

president of the Fraternal Order of Police union that represents
Merkel. “I thought the investigation was still pending.”
“I was not aware of his arrest, but will do what I can to get any
information on it,” city spokesman Chaz Adams said.
According to records on file with the Broward County Clerk of

Courts, Merkel faces arraignment before Broward Circuit Judge
Martin J. Bidwill on June 30.

Posts: 31403 LAUDERDALE – Two rookie police officers noticed that a 14-
year veteran of the force had taken $315 in cash from a drug
suspect they had just arrested, according to police reports.
“This is how we do things,’’ Officer Robert Merkel allegedly told

them. They did not take his word for it, though, and reported him
to their supervisor.
But rather than admit to taking the money, Merkel filed his own
police report saying he had found the money somewhere else.
These and other details emerged in the Internal Affairs reports on

Merkel from his own department, which has arrested Merkel and
accused him, among other things, of falsifying a police report.
Merkel was arrested and charged May 29 with one count of official
misconduct, a felony, and one count of falsifying official records, a
misdemeanor, police records show.
The South Florida Times first broke the news of Merkel’s arrest and
charges on Friday, June 13, and obtained further details of the case
in the Internal Affairs and police reports on Monday.
According to the documents, the case centers around $315

taken from a narcotics suspect who had just been arrested
by officers Christopher Clemons and Grant Moule, the two
rookies, following a brief foot chase on Aug. 26, 2007.
Moule and Clemons counted the money they found after searching
the suspect, then placed it on the ground next to him with his other

belongings. They placed his cell phone on top of the money to

protect it from the wind.
The two rookies left the suspect in the custody of other officers
while they retraced the suspect’s path, seeking to find any
discarded drugs.
Merkel arrived as backup, then took possession of the

confiscated cash. When the rookies returned, Merkel told
them it was standard practice in the department, according
to the Oct. 23, 2007 Internal Affairs report from Capt. Rick
Maglione to then-Chief Bruce Roberts.
Clemons and Moule consulted other officers, then reported Merkel’s

actions to a supervisor.
City officials and union representatives said they only learned of the
arrest after being contacted by the newspaper.

spokesman Ron Ishoy, declined to discuss details of the case.
Nevertheless, the arrest affidavit and warrants are shedding light
on the circumstances surrounding the arrest and charges.
“On August 26, 2007, City of Fort Lauderdale Police Officers

Christopher Clemons and Grant Moule arrested Reginald Wilson at
1313 Northeast 5th Terrace. Officer Clemons immediately searched
Mr. Wilson and located $315.00 and other personal property in Mr.
Wilson’s pants pocket. The $315.00 was placed on the ground next
to Mr. Wilson by Officer Clemons,” the police report states.
Fort Lauderdale attorney Michael Dutko, who is representing Merkel

in the criminal case, said he had not yet receive background
materials on the charges.

information contained in a police report to be false,” said Dutko,
who is representing Merkel.
The documents obtained by the newspaper further detail how

Merkel took possession of the money and then refused to return it
to the rookie arresting officers, even though they told him it had
been taken from Wilson’s pants pockets and counted in front of him.
“City of Fort Lauderdale Police Officer Robert Merkel responded to

1313 NE 5th Terrace to assist Officers Clemons and Moule in the
arrest of Mr. Wilson. Officer Merkel arrived at the location of Mr.
Wilson’s arrest and observed $315.00 along with other personal
property placed on the ground next to Mr. Wilson by Officer
Clemons. Officer Merkel took possession of the $315.00 without
being told to do so by Officers Clemons and Moule,” it further
alleges.
Merkel then filed what prosecutors are calling a “false police

report,” where he wrote, “I found three hundred and fifteen

dollars laying in the grass,” at a location blocks away from
the actual scene. The money was placed into the evidence as
“Found Property,” and never mentioned the suspect, the
officers, or the actual case number.
The incident was reported to department brass who turned it over

to Internal Affairs for investigation. During the internal probe,
Merkel was ordered to give a sworn statement. In it, he reasoned
that the money likely came from a robbery, but offered nothing to
support the notion.
In an Oct. 27, 2007 closeout memo from Capt. Rick Maglione,

director of the Internal Affairs Division, department officials
concluded that Merkel violated department policy by providing false
statements and filing the false report.
“Although Officer Merkel himself did not personally/

financially benefit from his actions, it is apparent he falsified
an official police report and further apparent his actions
were intentional to either prevent or delay the arrested
subject from retaining/recovering his money,” Maglione
wrote. “It is additionally disconcerting that Officer Merkel
did not rethink his actions when the two rookie Officers
expressed concern. Officer Merkel further aggravated the
situation when he informed Officers Clemons and Moule that
his actions were the typical manner in which a Fort
Lauderdale Police Officer handled these types of incidents.”
In a Nov. 30, 2007 memo, assistant police chief Robert J. Carter

concurred with the Internal Affairs investigation’s conclusion, and
recommended Merkel’s termination, though Merkel’s last date of
service remains unclear.
Merkel could not be reached for comment, but faces arraignment on

the charges before Broward Circuit Judge Martin J. Bidwill on June
30.

Ft. Lauderdale Cop Arrested For Lying On Report

Posts: 31403
FT. LAUDERDALE (CBS4) ― A Ft. Lauderdale police officer has been
fired and charged with falsifying and official report.
Former police officer Robert Merkel, 45, faces one count of

official misconduct, a felony, and one count of falsifying official
records, a misdemeanor.
The arrest and charges stem from an incident last year in which
Merkel confiscated money from a drug suspect and mislabeled it
when he turned it over to the police department's evidence room.
An internal affairs investigation said rookie officers Christopher

Clemons and Grant Moule made the original arrest of the drug
suspect after a brief foot chase in the 13-hundred block of
Northeast 5th Terrace. During the arrest, officers found $315
dollars in the man's pockets along with other items and a cell
phone. Clemmons counted the money in front of the man and then
placed it beside him on the ground along with his other
possessions. He then placed the cell phone on top of the cash to
keep it from blowing away. Both Clemons and Moule then left the
drug suspect with another officer so they could search the
surrounding area for any drugs the man may have thrown away
during the chase. When they returned, Merkel was holding the drug
suspect's cash in his hands.
When asked to return it for their arrest investigation, Merkel

reportedly refused and stated he was going to enter it into the
evidence room as found property. He allegedly told Clemons and
Moule that he had 14 years with the department and this was how
it was done. He later told Clemons that if their suspect wanted his
money returned he would have to provide proof of identification and
proof of employment.
When Merkel filed his report on the 'found money', an internal affair
investigation revealed that he not only failed to list the drug
suspect's name as the owner of the money, he also incorrectly
listed the address where it was found. In checking the cash into the
department's Evidence room, Merkel listed the money as "Found

Property" and did not mark that it should be "Return to Owner." On

the Evidence/Property form, Merkel also failed to list the drug
suspect's name or criminal charge.
Clemons discussed his misgivings about Merkel's actions with two

superiors who agreed that the veteran officer's actions were
improper. Internal Affairs then launched their investigation.
In a sworn statement to investigators Merkel said the

incorrect address he provided about where he 'found' the
money was an error. Investigators said Merkel then tried to
explain that he believed the drug suspect taken into custody
was involved in a robbery and that the money's real owner
may not have reported it. Merkel, however, was at a loss to
explain why he failed to mention this information in his
police report.
Internal affairs investigators concluded that while Merkel didn't

financially benefit from his actions, he did falsify a police report to
intentionally delay or prevent the arrested subject from getting his
money back.

LAUDERDALE – Two rookie police officers noticed that a 14-year

misdemeanor, police records show.
The South Florida Times first broke the news of Merkel’s arrest and
charges last week and obtained further details of the case from
documents filed by state prosecutors and the Internal Affairs and
police reports.
According to the documents, the case centers on $315 taken from a

Christopher Clemons and Grant Moule, the two rookies, following a
brief foot chase on Aug. 26, 2007.
Moule and Clemons counted the money they found after searching

Clemons and Moule consulted other officers, then reported Merkel’s

actions to a supervisor, Sgt. Hector Matinez.
Internal Affairs began its investigation the next day on Aug. 27,
2007 and interviewed several witnesses over a three-month period,
including the suspect.
In the Oct. 27, 2007 closeout memo from Maglione, director of the
Internal Affairs Division, department officials concluded that Merkel
violated department policy by providing false statements and filing
the false report.
“Although Officer Merkel himself did not personally/financially

In a Nov. 30, 2007 memo, assistant police chief Robert J. Carter

concurred with the Internal Affairs investigation’s conclusion, and

recommended Merkel’s termination.
The Internal Affairs division undertook a standard review and

reconsideration of the case and on Dec. 3 upheld its previous
conclusions and further determined crimes may have been
committed.
The entire matter was then forwarded to prosecutors with the

Broward County State Attorney’s Office that same day.
As prosecutors continued to build a case against Merkel, he was

fired from the force on Jan. 15, after 14 years of service, for
violating department policies.
Some four months later, on May 19, formal charges were filed
against Merkel and a warrant issued for his arrest. He was taken
into custody on May 29.
City officials and union representatives said they only learned of the
arrest after being contacted by the newspaper.

By Gary L. Wright
gwright@charlotteobserver.com
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers Gerald Holas and Jason

Ross are accused of helping a suspected drug dealer avoid police
detection and protecting his illegal drug activity, according to the
FBI.

Holas is accused of warning the alleged drug dealer about an

impending drug bust earlier this month. He's also accused of
advising the suspected dealer to move because his home was “hot”
and that police might soon swoop in.
The two officers also allegedly gave the suspected dealer the
address of a person who had robbed him, allowing the dealer to
seek revenge.
The details about the police officers' activities were revealed in a 27-
page affidavit unsealed in federal court in Charlotte Tuesday.
Holas and Ross, both 35, resigned last week and were charged
with conspiring with alleged dealer David C. Lockhart to distribute
crack cocaine. The charge is punishable by up to life in prison and
carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.
Lockhart, 25, also is charged in connection with the conspiracy.
The affidavit says the former officers have admitted to authorities

that they protected Lockhart's cocaine distribution, but say they did
so in exchange for Lockhart providing them information they could
use to arrest his suppliers and customers. The officers also
admitted participating in a number of acts to further Lockhart's
drug distribution, the court document says.
Lockhart has admitted that he moved large quantities of cocaine

with others, the affidavit says, and confirmed the officers' account
that he would get their protection in exchange for information that
would help in arresting others.
In a case that has drawn criticism from police brass and the
Charlotte mayor, the FBI disclosed a series of incidents linking the
officers and Lockhart.
Among the incidents cited in the affidavit is a May 14 police search

during which Lockhart gets advice from officer Holas in series of
phone calls.
It began when police went to Lockhart's home and searched him

and several others in the front yard. They suspected that Lockhart
was involved in distributing cocaine and might have a weapon, the
affidavit says.
Electronic surveillance showed a series of six phone conversations

between Lockhart and officer Holas during the search. Lockhart
initiated several contacts, and Holas also phoned Lockhart, the
court document says.
The affidavit details this exchange between the two:
Officer Holas: “Just you know, whatever it is, just be as cooperative

as you can be, but you don't have to let…”

Lockhart interrupts: “I'm trying to be cooperative, man. But they

just messing with me, man.”
Holas: “Are they detaining you?”
Lockhart: “I don't know if they detaining me or what.”
The call ended with Holas instructing Lockhart to “get in the house”
once the search was over.
Holas soon called back, the affidavit says, and the pair talked for
eight minutes and 22 seconds.
During that conversation, Lockhart spelled out what had happened.
Lockhart told Holas that things could have gone bad for him but
that police hadn't found any illegal drugs or guns during the search.
He told Holas that he had been selling drugs to a “white girl” just
before police arrived, but that he was not “dirty” when police
showed up, the affidavit says.
Holas told Lockhart the girl must have been an informant and
instructed Lockhart to move to a new location because his current
address was now “hot” and that the investigating officers will come
back, the affidavit says.
Lockhart then instructed a relative to come get him and hid his
drugs, money and a gun based on Holas' warning, the affidavit says.
The affidavit also describes a June 3 incident in which Holas tips off
Lockhart about a possible drug bust at a hotel.
Holas was working that night with a drug interdiction team around
Sugar Creek Road and Interstate 85 where illegal drug activity was
suspected at several hotels.
At 9:32 p.m., officer Holas phoned Lockhart and asked him if he

was at the Economy Inn. When Lockhart said yes, Holas asked if he
was “dirty.” Lockhart said yes, he was carrying drugs, the affidavit
says.
Holas told Lockhart that police or informants were watching the

hotel and that Lockhart should leave immediately, the affidavit
says. At 9:36, Holas called Lockhart back and warned that police
activity at the hotel was likely forthcoming.
Lockhart asked Holas if he was “golden” to leave right then.
Holas told him that he was “clear to 85.”
“This activity and these overt acts by Holas were to prevent

Lockhart's arrest, and, thereby allow his illegal cocaine distribution
business to continue,” FBI agent Eric Davis wrote in the affidavit.
The investigation began about six months ago after a confidential

source informed the FBI that Lockhart was involved in the

distribution of cocaine, and that at least two CMPD officers knew
about it and were protecting him, the affidavit says. The source told
the FBI that Lockhart had been in continuous contact with the
officers since July 2007.
The affidavit also outlines an October incident that involved officer

Ross helping Lockhart find an enemy so he could get revenge.
Lockhart and at least one of his associates had been the victims of
an armed robbery, the affidavit says, citing a confidential source.
The robbers took cocaine and money from Lockhart.
Lockhart asked Holas and Ross for assistance in identifying the

person who robbed him.
Within a day Lockhart had the name of the person he believed had
robbed him.
Officer Ross accessed a report that showed a possible address for

the robber, the affidavit says.
Lockhart poured gasoline in at least four large beer bottles and

placed rags in the bottle openings. He set fire to the bottles and
threw then against the house, shouting expletives, the affidavit
says. The suspected robber, along with other residents, ran from
the burning house.
In the next 48 hours, there were 16 separate contacts between

Holas or Ross and Lockhart's phone.
“There is no apparent law enforcement reason for Holas or Ross to

share an address of a robbery suspect in a drug robbery with the
victim ...,” agent Davis wrote in the affidavit.

Former CMPD Officers Appear In Federal Court On Drug

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Two Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers

resigned after they were arrested on federal drug charges late
Thursday.
Authorities said the arrests of Gerald Henry Holas and Jason

Adam Ross, both 35, were the result of a joint investigation

between the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The two walked handcuffed, with their heads down, into federal
court Friday afternoon to appear on charges of conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine over 50 grams.
A third man appeared in court alongside the former officers. David

Lockhart, 25, is charged with conspiracy and actual possession of
crack cocaine in the ongoing investigation headed by the FBI.
A CMPD spokesman said the U.S. Attorney’s Office has asked the
department not to speak on the arrests at this time. Federal
documents with details on the investigation and charges are still
sealed. A filing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office states that revealing
the contents of the documents could cause co-conspirators not yet
apprehended to flee and would impair the investigation.
Holas worked on the street crimes unit for almost 10 years and
Ross worked in the Freedom Division for six years. District Attorney
Peter Gilchrist said their arrests could affect the prosecution of
cases they investigated.
“We will review all cases where either of these officers are listed as
witnesses and determine whether or not to proceed with
prosecution based upon the necessity for their testimony," he said.
The attorney for a client arrested on cocaine trafficking charges

based on information an informant gave Ross said she’s considering
reviewing her client's case based on the charges Ross faces.
Holas and Ross face a maximum sentence of life in prison if

convicted of the charges against them. They are being held in the
Mecklenburg County jail.
The officers and Lockhart will have detention hearings in district

court on Thursday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- An affidavit unsealed by a judge Tuesday

provides a lengthy, detailed account of alleged police corruption, of
how federal agents say two Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers
protected a suspected drug dealer and how their own phone calls
led to their arrests.
When Jason Ross and Gerald Holas walked into a federal court last
week shortly after resigning from the police force, no one would say
exactly what the former officers had done. Now the 27-page court
document details what federal agents say was a year-long bargain
to protect an accused drug dealer named David Lockhart.

Agents say Lockhart first met officers Ross and Holas outside a
business on Tuckaseegee Road. Their affidavit states Lockhart was
found with cocaine, thousands of dollars in cash and a gun. Despite
that, he wasn't arrested. Instead, agents say the officers gave him
protection and, eventually, confidential information that was
supposed to be for police eyes only.
For example, before police raided two drug-plagued motels on

Independence Boulevard in April, agents say phone records show
Ross called Lockhart the night before, they believe to warn him.
Agents also claim that when Lockhart was robbed of drugs and
money last October, he asked Holas and Ross for help in finding
who did it. They say Ross accessed police computers and gave
Lockhart the suspect's address. Within hours, Lockhart allegedly
used Molotov ****tails to set it on fire.
The affidavit claims Holas and Ross also told Lockhart he was being
investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but they didn’t
know that they were being investigated, too.
There's no mention in the affidavit of Holas and Ross taking any

money in exchange for protection. Agents say Holas and Ross claim
they got information from Lockhart that they used to arrest his
suppliers and customers.
But according to the affidavit, Lockhart was never a registered

informant with either officer.
The two officers will be back in court Thursday. During that hearing
the judge will determine whether they will have to stay in jail until
the trial.

FBI: Officer may have failed to report money from drug bust
Federal affidavit says 2 police officers linked to arsons committed
by suspected drug dealer.

The case against two Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers accused

of helping a drug dealer may also involve unreported money from a
drug bust and arsons at two houses – including one that was
mistakenly burned, court documents show.
Officer Jason Ross seized cocaine, drug scales, and a pistol from
alleged drug dealer David Lockhart last July during a search of a
business on Tuckaseegee Road, court records show.
Officer Ross did not report finding any money, records show.
But a confidential source has told investigators that Lockhart had

$6,000 in cash at the time of the search, court documents show.
The source says he had helped count the money.
Lockhart told investigators that he had at least $2,500 at the time,

and that the two police officers allowed him to keep the money,
according to an FBI affidavit.
Officers Ross and Gerald Holas resigned last week and were
charged with conspiring to distribute crack cocaine. Lockhart is also
charged in the conspiracy. All three made brief appearances in
court Thursday but their bond hearings were postponed.
Holas and Ross, both 35, are accused of helping Lockhart, 25, avoid
police detection and of protecting his illegal drug activity.
Police Chief Rodney Monroe said he's disappointed in the officers'

arrests.
“It pisses off a lot of officers,” said Monroe, whose department

worked with the FBI in the investigation. “We're going to stay on
task. We're going to rise above it.”
Court documents paint a yearlong relationship and cite several

incidents in which the officers helped Lockhart – warning him about
possible drug busts and once helping him find a man so he could
take revenge.
According to the affidavit, Lockhart claimed he had been robbed of

cocaine and money last October and asked officers Ross and Holas
to help find the robber.
Within a day, Lockhart had a name and soon received a text

message from a police officer - not named in the affidavit - with a

possible address.
Lockhart then went to the house, poured gasoline on the back, and
set it on fire, the affidavit says. A police arson report locates the
house on Beech Nut Road in west Charlotte.
Lillie Cunningham remembers that night, Oct. 21, being awakened

by the smell of smoke, and racing with her husband and son from
the house.
“Smoke was on the inside ... It was just black,” Cunningham said
Thursday. She remains unsure why anybody might have targeted
her home and family, she says.
The affidavit says Lockhart waited outside the house to see if the
man he was after fled.
When Lockhart didn't see him, he told his associates he had the
wrong house, the affidavit says. So he again contacted Holas and/or
Ross.
Officer Ross looked up a report that showed another possible

address for the man Lockhart was after, the affidavit says.
Lockhart then went to that house on Oct. 22, according to the

affidavit, and threw flaming bottles filled with gasoline against the
house. The affidavit says the man Lockhart was after ran from the
house, also in west Charlotte.
Makinya Lawrence, who was asleep in the Reeves Court house that
night, told the Observer Thursday she was shaken awake by her
mother around 1 a.m.
“Wake up, wake up, the house is on fire,” she remembers her
mother saying.
The two got out safely.
Lawrence said she's never heard of David Lockhart and that her
family remains puzzled about the attack.
Lockhart's only criminal record in North Carolina was a conviction

for resisting an officer and fleeing to elude arrest in a 2006 incident.
After their court appearances Thursday, Lockhart and the former

officers Ross and Holas were returned to the Mecklenburg County
jail. Holas and Ross are being held in protective custody, away from
the general population.
Federal probation authorities are recommending that the officers

remain in jail until their trial.
The officers' attorneys have declined to discuss the charges.

“Jerry Holas is a fine man,” attorney Tony Scheer said Thursday.

“His wife and two small kids want him home very badly.”
Holas, on the force since 1998, was assigned to the street crimes
division.
Ross' attorney, Chris Fialko, said: “All Americans have a

presumption of innocence. That should especially apply to police
officers who have been protecting our community.”
Ross was a patrol officer on the force since 2002.
Victoria Cherrie contributed.

Former San Joaquin County Sheriff Baxter Dunn was arrested

Thursday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol
during a car crash, a felony because someone was injured, officials
said.

Dunn was booked and had his photo taken at the same jail that he
once oversaw. He retired on the same day in January 2005 that he
pleaded guilty in connection with a public corruption scandal,
He is still on federal supervised release from that conviction, which

means that he could face federal prison time, aside from any
punishment if convicted on the new allegations.
"He's got problems. The government's going to be unhappy with

him," said defense attorney Mark Reichel, who spent 13 years as a
federal defender before going into private work.
Dunn spent six months in a low-security prison but Reichel, who is

not involved in the case, said Dunn could wind up facing much more
time in prison as a result of Thursday's arrest.
Dunn, 60, of Manteca, was driving east on Highway 120 in Manteca

around 10:10 p.m. Thursday in the fast lane when traffic slowed,
California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Adrian Quintero said.
Dunn, who was driving at about 65 to 70 mph, moved to the right

lane to pass traffic and then rear-ended a 1979 International two-
axle flatbed truck belonging to a Manteca sign company, Quintero
said.
Dunn's silver 2006 Chrysler 300 received major front-end damage

and the airbags deployed. He was not injured, Quintero said.
The other driver, Jorge Albert Becerra, 32, of Ceres, had abdominal
and back pain, and he was taken by ambulance to Doctors Hospital
in Manteca, Quintero said. By Friday evening Becerra was no longer
hospitalized.
Both Becerra and Dunn were wearing seat belts.
Dunn, whose full name is Temple Baxter Dunn Jr., cooperated with
officers at the scene, Quintero said.
"He'd been drinking so he was evaluated for DUI," Quintero said.

"He was very cooperative and complied with officers' commands."
CHP guidelines do not allow Quintero to release Dunn's blood-

alcohol content level, but Quintero said it was over California's legal
driving limit of 0.08 percent.
Officers handcuffed Dunn and took him to the county jail in French
Camp, where he was booked at 12:43 a.m.
Dunn, who still receives his pension of roughly $130,000, soon

posted $50,000 bail and was released from custody. Jail records
show that he is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 10 in Manteca.
He could not be reached for comment.
Dunn pleaded guilty Jan. 13, 2005, to mail fraud in the corruption

case that brought down several other public figures. That June he
began serving a six-month sentence in a low-security prison in Taft
and then spent six months on house arrest after taking a plea deal.
He retired the same day he pleaded guilty and kept his pension,
leading lawmakers to subsequently pass a bill that prevents future
public officials from collecting their retirement if convicted of a
crime related to their position.
Dunn and others were accused of using their positions to influence

people in money-making schemes. Others convicted in the case
were former county Supervisor Lynn Bedford; his aide, J. Tyler
Reeves; attorney and state criminal justice planner N. Allen
Sawyer; and Monte McFall, a former marshal who took his case to
trial and is now serving a 10-year prison term.
After Dunn was released from prison in December 2006, he began

three years of supervised release, which is similar to the state
system of probation.
As part of that release, a federal judge ordered Dunn not to commit

any other crime.

MANTECA — It was a best case scenario for the embattled former

San Joaquin County Sheriff late Friday afternoon.
The San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office filed charges in

connection with a Nov. 29 accident involving Temple Baxter Dunn,
60.
Dunn was charged with vehicle code violations for driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs and causing bodily injury. He was also
charged with having a blood alcohol content greater than .08
percent, the state's legal limit.
But the charges were filed as misdemeanors not felonies which

would carry a more severe penalty upon conviction.
Repeated calls to the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office

Friday were unreturned.
Dunn, of Manteca, was travelling between 65 and 70 mph in his

Chrysler 300, when he made a lane change and couldn't slow down
fast enough before colliding with a 1979 International truck driven
by Jorge Albert Becerra, 33, of Ceres, California Highway Patrol
officials said.
When emergency crews arrived, both parties were out of their

vehicles and on the side of the roadway, CHP officials said.
Dunn provided a breath sample, and although CHP Officer Adrian

Quintero said he can't release the results, he did say the sample
tested over California's legal limit.
Dunn also failed other field sobriety tests before being arrested on
suspicion of felony driving under the influence charges for injuring
someone other than himself in the accident, Quintero said.
Dunn — who served as San Joaquin County Sheriff from 2001 to

2005 — was booked into San Joaquin County Jail and was quickly
released after posting $50,000 bail.
He was ordered to appear at 9 a.m. Monday in San Joaquin County

Superior Court in Manteca.
Dunn spent six months in a federal prison in Taft, Calif., after

pleading guilty in federal court to mail fraud charges in exchange
for his testimony against a former partner in a corruption case.

Dunn had teamed with Monte McFall and N. Allen Sawyer — the
former executive director of the Governor's Office of Criminal
Justice Planning — to secretly form two companies which
represented — for a $2 million commission — Sunlaw Energy in its
bid to build a power plant.
The trio conspired to extort Calpine Co. into dropping plans for a
competing power plant at the Port of Stockton.
Following his guilty plea, Dunn announced his retirement after 38

years with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office and is currently
collecting $12,000 a month in pension benefits.

Former San Joaquin County Sheriff Baxter Dunn has entered a no-
contest plea in a November car crash that injured a truck driver.
Through his attorney, Dunn, 60, pleaded no contest Monday

to one misdemeanor count of driving with a blood-alcohol

content of 0.08 or higher, with injury. In exchange,
prosecutors dropped a charge of driving under the influence,
which is a different charge, said Dunn's attorney Al Ellis.
In essence, there is no difference between the two charges, except

in the standard of proof, San Joaquin County Deputy District
Attorney Tom Montez said. The penalties are the same for both,
Montez added.
The charge to which Dunn pleaded is used when blood or breath

testing has been done -- in Dunn's case, his blood-alcohol content
registered 0.11, Montez said.
Under DUI laws, a person can be charged even if there is no testing

if there are physical signs of alcohol consumption, such as red eyes
or failing a field sobriety test, Montez added.
Dunn, who resigned his post in 2005 and served six months in
federal prison for his role in a public corruption scandal, was
arrested Nov. 29 on suspicion of drunken driving after authorities
said he rear-ended a flatbed truck in his 2006 Chrysler 300 sedan
on Highway 120 near Union Road in Manteca. The truck driver, 32-
year-old Jorge Albert Becerra, complained of back pain and was
treated at Doctors Hospital of Manteca. At the time, a CHP officer
said it was believed that Dunn couldn't stop because he was
impaired by alcohol.
Ellis said that as part of the deal, San Joaquin County Superior
Court Judge Roger Ross ordered Dunn to serve 15 days in jail with
two days' credit for time served after his arrest. The judge
recommended Dunn for an alternative work program, which could
be community service or home monitoring, Ellis said.
Dunn still is under the supervision of the federal probation

department because of his 2005 case. Ellis said he and Dunn expect
a recommendation shortly from the federal probation department
on any additional sanctions Dunn might face.
Montez said he's been told that Dunn's federal punishment likely
will be served "consecutively" to his state sentence, meaning he'll
complete one before beginning the other.
"We don't know exactly what that means, though," as far as length
of the federal sentence, Montez said.
Bee staff writer Inga Miller can be reached at imiller@modbee.com

or 578-2324.

SACRAMENTO - A federal judge sentenced former San Joaquin

County Sheriff Baxter Dunn on Thursday to 30 days in prison for
violating his probation because he was convicted early this year of
misdemeanor drunken driving.
U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. ordered Dunn, 61,

to begin his prison term Aug. 11. Upon a request from
Dunn's attorney, England recommended Dunn serve the term
at a federal prison in Sheridan, Ore., a low-security lockup
near Portland.
Dunn could have had to spend up to nine months in prison, but

England said he chose the shorter term because Dunn showed
"outstanding" behavior on federal probation since pleading guilty in
2005 following an FBI corruption probe.
England also said Dunn owned up to the Nov. 29 drunken driving

accident in Manteca.
"It's not often that one comes before the court and admits what
occurred and takes responsibility," England told Dunn in the
Sacramento courtroom. England said he was disappointed to seeing
Dunn again, but he called the recent arrest an "aberration."
The four-term sheriff came before England to answer for the

drunken driving conviction because he remains under federal
probation until December for pleading guilty nearly three years ago
to mail fraud for his part in a corruption scheme.

Late last year, Dunn rear-ended another vehicle while driving on

the Highway 120 Bypass in Manteca, his hometown. He was
sentenced in San Joaquin County Superior Court to 15 days in jail,
which he served through a work program.
Stockton attorney Albert Ellis said Dunn's health challenges also

played a role in the judge's short sentence. Ellis declined to say
specifically what ails Dunn, but Ellis said his client's unresolved
health problems are "serious and significant."
Ellis said the monthlong sentence was adequate, considering other

repercussions the drunken driving conviction have had in Dunn's
life. His driver's license was suspended, so he can't operate his
water truck, Dunn's new vocation.
Dunn continues to collect a $140,000 pension from 38 years in

county law enforcement.
Dunn, who was recently married, left the courtroom holding his
wife's hand. In the hallway, he shook hands with his probation
officer, who recommended the one-month term, and Assistant U.S.
Attorney Benjamin Wagner, who wished Dunn good luck.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A former Lexington police officer who

arrested country singer John Michael Montgomery is now facing the
same charges.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Joshua Cromer was arrested

early Friday and charged with DUI and carrying a concealed weapon.

Cromer arrested Montgomery on those charges after pulling him

over in February 2006.
Montgomery entered an Alford plea, in which he didn't admit guilt,

but acknowledged there was sufficient evidence for a likely
conviction.
Cromer was later fired for comments he posted about

Montgomery's arrest on the Web site MySpace.com.
Lexington Police Lt. Dwayne Holman says Cromer blocked a car

from leaving the scene of a minor hit and run. Holman says
responding officers suspected Cromer was impaired and gave him
field sobriety tests, which he failed.
They found a handgun in his car, for which Cromer allegedly had no
permit.

Posts: 31403 Former Lexington police officer Joshua Todd Cromer was arrested
early Friday on charges of DUI and carrying a concealed weapon —
the same charges for which he arrested country singer John Michael
Montgomery in 2006.
Cromer was fired in February 2007 over postings on the social

networking Web site MySpace.com, some of which involved the
officer’s role in arresting Montgomery.
Police arrested Cromer about 1 a.m. Friday in the parking lot of the
Shillito Park apartment complex at 3500 Beaver Place Road after he
blocked a vehicle from leaving the scene of a hit-and-run.
Lt. Dwayne Holman said Friday morning that officers who were
called to the scene found Cromer blocking a vehicle’s path with his
SUV. The occupants of the other vehicle had fled on foot.
When the officers talked to Cromer, “they realized he was impaired”

and performed sobriety tests that Cromer failed, Holman said.
Cromer told the officers he was “drinking for an upcoming
birthday,” according to the police report. His birthday is listed as
June 24, 1976. His blood-alcohol level was measured at .147,
according to the report. The legal limit for driving in Kentucky is .08.
Officers searched Cromer’s Nissan Pathfinder and found a handgun

and bulletproof vest in the front seat, according to the police report.
Cromer did not have a permit for the gun.
The handgun was a .40-caliber Glock, Holman said.
It appears from the report, Holman said, that Cromer “took some
affirmative action to stop one of the vehicles from leaving” the
parking lot.
Private citizens can make citizens’ arrests, but “we would obviously

prefer those people become good witnesses,” Holman said. Holman

didn’t have details on the hit-and-run, but he said he didn’t think
anyone was hurt.
Cromer was arrested and booked into the Fayette County jail, but
bonded out Friday morning. A jail spokesman said Cromer posted a
$2,700 bond.
Defense attorney Fred Peters entered a not-guilty plea on Cromer’s

behalf during the former officer’s arraignment Friday afternoon in
Fayette District Court.
Peters said it “doesn’t seem fair” that Cromer has been charged
when he was trying to prevent a car thief from leaving the scene of
an accident. Peters said he doesn’t think the gun in Cromer’s
vehicle was concealed.
Cromer was asleep inside his apartment when he heard a thud in

the parking lot, Peters said. He went outside and realized a driver
had hit another vehicle and was trying to escape.
Cromer got into his car, Peters said, and tried to stop the vehicle
from leaving the parking lot. A neighbor later told Cromer that the
vehicle was stolen.
Peters said he’s not sure whether Cromer has been treated
differently from others because of the case involving Montgomery,
but Peters added that “he’s paid his price for what he did.”
Cromer is scheduled to return to court at 10 a.m. July 2.
At the Shillito Park apartment complex earlier Friday afternoon,

Cromer declined to comment on his arrest, and referred questions
to Peters.
Also at apartments, a property manager declined to discuss the

matter and said she was encouraging other tenants not to talk
about it. She did say that Cromer is employed by the apartments,
but she declined to discuss his duties.
Cromer arrested Montgomery in 2006 after the performer left the

Austin City Saloon. A police report written by Cromer on Feb. 14,
2006, said he saw Montgomery run a red light at Tates Creek Road
and Laredo Drive.
During the traffic stop, two guns were found in Montgomery’s

Dodge pickup. He was charged with two counts of having a
concealed weapon.
On Cromer’s MySpace page, some of the postings congratulated

Cromer on the high-profile arrest. One officer posted an altered
photograph of Montgomery and a fan, in which Cromer’s face had
been substituted for the head of the fan.
Montgomery, of Jessamine County, eventually entered an Alford

plea to a drunken-driving charge, which means he did not admit

guilt but acknowledged that prosecutors had enough evidence to
convict him.
The Urban County Council unanimously approved Cromer’s firing,

citing misconduct, inefficiency, insubordination and conduct
unbecoming a police officer. Cromer filed a lawsuit against the city
seeking reinstatement and back pay. Cromer’s attorney, Shane
Sidebottom, argued that Cromer’s firing was arbitrary, capricious
and not justified based upon the circumstances.
Fayette Circuit Judge Thomas Clark ruled in March 2008 that the
city was justified in firing Cromer.

A former Lexington police officer who was fired after postings on his
MySpace.com web page about country singer John Michael
Montgomery was arrested on a DUI charge early Friday.
Joshua Cromer was arrested at about 1 a.m. and charged with

DUI and carrying a concealed weapon. Police had been called to the
scene of a hit and run in which Cromer was a witness. After officials
talked to him, they concluded that Cromer was drunk and later
found a gun in his car.
Cromer was fired last year for postings on his MySpace.com page
following the arrest Montgomery in May 2006. After an internal
investigation, Cromer was charged with insubordination,
unbecoming conduct, dishonesty and other charges.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A former Lexington, Kentucky, police officer

who arrested John Michael Montgomery for drunken driving in 2006
is now facing the same charges.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Joshua Cromer was arrested

and charged with DUI last week.
Cromer arrested Montgomery on those charges after pulling him

over in February 2006.
Montgomery entered an Alford plea, in which he didn't admit guilt,

but acknowledged there was sufficient evidence for a likely
conviction.
Cromer was later fired for comments he posted about

Montgomery's arrest on the Web site MySpace.com.

ALEXANDRIA — A Rapides Parish DARE officer is arrested on drug
charges, but it is Rapides Parish school principals and teachers left
dealing with the aftermath.
How do you explain to children that the person teaching them not
to use drugs was arrested on drug charges?
“It isn’t easy,” Alma Redwine Elementary School Principal Deidra

Anderson said. “We had to explain that everyone is human and
makes mistakes.”
Principals at some elementary schools were left Friday and today

picking up the pieces following the arrest Thursday of Pineville

Police Officer Raymond Smith.
Smith served as an officer in the Drug Abuse Resistance Education

program for a number of schools, including Alma Redwine, Julius
Patrick Elementary, W.O. Hall Magnet Elementary and Lessie Moore
Elementary.
Smith was arrested following an undercover drug operation on the

campus of Lessie Moore in Pineville.
Rapides Parish Sheriff Chuck Wagner said Smith met with an

informant — whom the sheriff’s office had given cocaine from its
evidence room — in the school’s parking lot while school was in
session.
Smith was on duty and the two talked of a trip to Detroit to sell the
cocaine, law enforcement officials said.
Smith was conducting DARE classes at Lessie Moore and Julius

Patrick this semester. W.O. Hall and Alma Redwine had DARE this
past semester.
Principals Fred Moore of Lessie Moore and Faith Washington of

Julius Patrick said they planned to move on with their fifth-graders.
Lessie Moore will hold DARE graduation Wednesday, with Julius
Patrick holding its graduation next week.
“We have told them people make mistakes and they don’t need to
make the same mistakes,” Moore said.
Washington said she met with her students Friday, the day Smith
was supposed to be on their campus.
She said her students were disappointed and that “the news was
numbing to them.”
But they wanted to move on and continue to have their graduation

and write their DARE essays.
“They told me they knew that they were not supposed to do what
he did,” Washington said.
That is the message Anderson took to her students.
She said it was hard on Friday. Students were sad and disappointed
and some cried.
Anderson said the most hurtful part is the example it gives

students, as Smith was the one telling them to not use drugs and
then is arrested on drug charges.
“They didn’t need this letdown,” Anderson said. “We just stressed to
them that they did not need to make the same mistakes.”

Posts: 875 what do you suppose their ideas of LEO's and specifically the

DARE has been a miserable failure in communities across the US...

A number of DARE officers have been found breaking the very laws
they attempt to teach the kids not to, if leading by example were
an option the tax payers who fund these programs are not getting
their monies worth.
The following Report from the United States General Accounting

Office sums it up!
GAO Report Exposes DARE as Complete Failure
The quoted part below deals with how much funding DARE got from
the Federal Government to operate:
quote:
In fiscal year 2000, the Department of Justice’s Bureau

of Justice Assistance, which
supports various substance abuse prevention programs
for youth, provided about
$2 million for DARE regional training centers to support
the training of new police
officers that help deliver the DARE program lessons.
Also, in fiscal year 2000,
Education provided states about $439 million in grants
for schools and communities
under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and
Communities Act (SDFSCA) of 1994.6
Some of the SDFSCA grant funds could have been used
to support DARE. However,
Education has no estimate of the amount of SDFSCA
fiscal year 2000 state grant
funds that were used for DARE.

liberranter The silver lining to this "cloud" is that the kids now realize that
Super Moderator the average cop is an even bigger scumbag than the average
"criminal." May many more such "disappointments" present
themselves to these kids, to the point where they'll realize that
their misplaced feelings of respect for cops were just child-like
delusions, akin to their belief in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny,
or the Tooth Fairy. Now if only more ADULTS could wake up to
reality...

SWAMPSCOTT — A Swampscott police officer has been charged

with dealing prescription drugs — at times while on duty and in
uniform.
Thomas C. Wrenn, 37, of Nahant is facing up to 20 years in

prison after his arrest Thursday night on federal charges of
possession with intent to distribute oxycodone. His lawyer told a
judge yesterday that Wrenn has been suspended without pay by
the department.
Wrenn, a 10-year veteran, was arrested by federal agents and

Swampscott police after allegedly purchasing 50 Percocet pills from
a person who, unbeknownst to Wrenn, was cooperating with
authorities.
Wrenn referred to the painkiller as "Pez" and even used his

child's Batman Pez dispensers to store the drugs, according
to the eight-page affidavit filed by a federal agent. One of
those Pez dispensers was found in his police locker, and
another was found in a gym bag in his home, according to
the affidavit.
After his arrest, Wrenn allegedly admitted that he had been selling
the drug to others, including a former Nahant police officer, and
that he had been using Percocet and cocaine. Percocet is a brand
name for a form of the drug oxycodone, the active ingredient in
OxyContin.
Federal prosecutors say Wrenn, for more than a year, had

been routinely using and distributing drugs, at times out in
the open at local bars.
Swampscott police, who had been tipped off about Wrenn's alleged
"serious" drug use in January 2007, said they were unable to do
anything about the situation until this week. When Swampscott
police Chief Ronald Madigan confronted Wrenn and asked him to
take a drug test, Wrenn refused, according to the court affidavit.
He allegedly told the chief that he had recent dental work done and
was taking Percocet and Vicodin.
Madigan did not return calls seeking comment yesterday. Town

Administrator Andrew Maylor referred questions about the case to

It would be a year before police were able to build a case against

Wrenn, after the arrest of an associate of his who would become a
cooperating witness.
The witness told a Drug Enforcement Administration agent that he

had been dealing with Wrenn for the past 15 months, according to
the affidavit of federal agent Dennis Barton. The witness said he
saw Wrenn snorting cocaine at a Salem bar, accompanied by a
young woman. Wrenn allegedly purchased pills that night and
shared them with a young woman and another associate.
Over the next several months, the witness sold pills to Wrenn "on a
routine basis," according to the affidavit, sometimes while he was
on duty.
Sometimes Wrenn, who is married and the father of two young

children, would party at the home of the witness, where he would
use both Percocet and cocaine, according to the affidavit. During
this time, the witness would also see Wrenn giving pills to another
associate and a young woman with whom Wrenn was having a
romantic relationship, Barton wrote.
But the relationship between the witness and Wrenn soured in April.
The witness said he stopped selling pills to Wrenn after he thought
Wrenn tried to rip him off.
Months later, after the witness and another person were arrested
on a heroin-related charge, Wrenn ran into him at the police station
while on duty. He allegedly took the witness to an ATM to get bail
money for the other person. During that trip, the two men became
reacquainted, according to the affidavit.
Wrenn didn't realize that the witness would agree to cooperate with
law enforcement. Several weeks later, they met up again in
Swampscott, where the officer was working a police detail. The
witness was wearing a recorder.
Wrenn allegedly offered to help the witness with his pending case
and claimed he'd vouched for him with Swampscott detectives.
During a series of meetings that included the witness, an

undercover DEA agent and associates of Wrenn, investigators said
they learned that Wrenn had expressed interest in buying pills
again from the witness, and that Wrenn had been using and
distributing the pills while on duty.
One of Wrenn's associates said Wrenn kept a police badge on the

visor of his yellow Hummer, that he liked to share the drugs with
girls and that he had given pills to a friend "in connection with his
sexual relations with her."
Investigators set up another meeting at a restaurant in Nahant on

March 3, where an associate discussed plans he and Wrenn had to

purchase 100 pills for $3 each.
A week later, on March 10, the witness called Wrenn, saying he'd
gotten his pills and offered to sell some to Wrenn. Wrenn said he
had just gotten his own prescription that day, but said, "If I need
any more, I'll keep you in mind," the witness said.
One of the associates, who had been planning to purchase and split
pills with Wrenn, was arrested on Tuesday after he purchased the
pills.
Confronted, the associate also agreed to cooperate with

investigators. That evening, he called Wrenn and told him that he
had the pills.
The two men arranged to meet on Thursday night at a Lynn

restaurant.
"I want you to put some Pez aside 'cause I want to buy some," the
associate said Wrenn told him.
Wrenn was arrested after allegedly paying for 50 pills.
During a hearing in U.S. District Court in Boston yesterday, the

burly Wrenn was led into court wearing two sets of handcuffs linked
behind his back. He pleaded not guilty and was released on a
$15,000 bond, after he passed a drug test and his wife showed up
with a check for $5,000.
His release was briefly called into question after the prosecutor,
John McNeil, pointed out that Wrenn had told police he was using
cocaine, something he denied to court probation officers who
interviewed him before his court appearance.
McNeil suggested that Wrenn had been untruthful with the court.
Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler ordered Wrenn to submit to an

immediate drug test. When he passed the test, McNeil and his
lawyer, Tracy Miner, agreed on the bail — and a long list of
conditions.
Among those conditions are that Wrenn not leave eastern

Massachusetts — or sail more than a mile offshore — that he
submit to random drug testing and treatment at the discretion of a
probation officer, that he surrender his passport and any weapons
he owns, and that he have no contact with any witnesses in the
case.
During the hearing, Miner was appointed to represent him after the
judge found he was unable to pay for his own attorney — despite
an income of just over $97,000 last year, according to public
records. Wrenn said he and his wife were paying a $634,000
mortgage on a $650,000 home.
Miner suggested that the couple may have little or no equity in the

home given the current real estate market.
A probable cause hearing was scheduled for March 24.

Posts: 31403 SWAMPSCOTT - Swampscott police officer Thomas C. Wrenn has
been suspended without pay following his arrest by the Drug
Enforcement Agency.
Wrenn, 37, 17 Prospect St., Nahant was arrested late

Thursday night in Lynn and was charged in a criminal
complaint with possession with intent to distribute
oxycodone.
Police Chief Ronald Madigan said the investigation is still ongoing

and confirmed Wrenn has been suspended without pay.
Madigan said Wrenn, a Swampscott Police officer since 1998, is still

a member of the police department, but he declined to comment
further.
Madigan declined to answer questions about whether Wrenn was on

restricted duty or regular duty during the investigation, which has
been going on for more than a year.
"I cannot comment on personnel matters," he said.

DEA agents working with Swampscott police arrested Wrenn
Thursday night after he allegedly purchased a quantity of Percocet
pills from one of his regular suppliers.
According to a press release from U.S. Attorney Michael J. Sullivan's

Office, federal agents knew of the planned transaction and took
Wrenn into custody shortly after he took possession of 50 tabs of
Percocet from a dealer.
During a hearing in U.S. District Court in Boston on Friday,

Wrenn pleaded innocent and was released on a $15,000
bond. He was also ordered to surrender his passport and
weapons. He is also required to submit to random drug
testing and he was ordered not to leave eastern
Massachusetts or sail more than a mile offshore. He was also
instructed not to have any contact with any witnesses in the
case.
Wrenn, who earned $97,000 last year, was given a court

appointed attorney. Wrenn told the court he and his wife are
paying a $634,000 mortgage.
Wrenn is scheduled to return to court on March 24 for a probable

cause hearing.
According to the complaint, Wrenn, who is married and has two

children, used a Pez dispenser belonging to one of his children to

dispense the drugs at a party in the Wrenn home.
"Wrenn jokingly loaded his child's candy Pez dispenser with

Percocet or Vicodin pills and then dispensed the pills from the toy
Pez dispenser," the complaint states.
A search of his police locker turned up a Batman Pez dispenser and

a second Pez dispenser was found in a bag in his bedroom.
In a criminal complaint filed in federal court last week, the

government alleges that Wrenn purchased Percocet pills over a
period of months beginning in the fall of 2006 and he routinely
consumed Percocet pills and cocaine and, in some instances, he did
so while in uniform.
According to the affidavit from DEA Special Agent Dennis A. Barton,

allegations of Wrenn's drug use and distribution first came to light
in January 2007 when a confidential informant reported Wrenn's
drug habits to the Swampscott Police Department.
Madigan confronted Wrenn a few days after being contacted by the

informant and asked him to submit to a drug test "in order to dispel
the allegation" but he refused to submit to a drug test, the affidavit
states.
According to the affidavit, Wrenn also distributed a quantity of

Percocet pills to a former Nahant Police Officer and a young woman
in connection with a romantic liaison.
The former Nahant Police Officer referred to in the affidavit is Paul

English Jr.
U.S. Attorney's Office Spokesman Christina D'Orio Sterling said

English pleaded guilty in October 2007 to federal drug charges and
was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison followed by three
years supervised release.

SWAMPSCOTT — The town's punishment of a suspended

Swampscott police officer accused of dealing prescription drugs lies
in the hands of the selectmen.
Thomas C. Wrenn, 37, of Nahant was arrested Thursday on federal

charges of possession with intent to distribute oxycodone. As of
Sunday, police Chief Ronald Madigan had suspended Wrenn for five
days without pay.
Any suspension of more than five days must be administered by

selectmen, the town's appointing authority. The board, if Madigan
asks it to, could address Wrenn's status as early as its meeting
tonight, Town Administrator Andrew Maylor said.
The selectmen could place Wrenn on leave and appoint someone,

probably Maylor, to conduct a hearing and recommend appropriate
disciplinary action — from additional suspension time to
termination. Or selectmen could decide to hold the hearing
themselves, Maylor said.
The last time the town went through a procedure like this was in
2006. At that time, selectmen placed police Lt. Peter Cassidy on
leave and asked Maylor to hold a hearing and recommend a course
of action.
The board eventually fired Cassidy after multiple disciplinary

suspensions and a drunken-driving arrest in Vermont.
Wrenn has worked in Swampscott for 10 years. Saying he could not

comment on an employee's personnel record, Maylor would not say
if Wrenn had been subject to departmental discipline prior to
Madigan's suspension of him.
Federal agents and Swampscott police arrested Wrenn after he

allegedly purchased 50 Percocet pills from a person who,
unbeknownst to him, was cooperating with authorities.
According to an eight-page affidavit filed by a federal agent, Wrenn

admitted after his arrest that he had been selling the drug to
others, including a former Nahant police officer, and that he had
been using Percocet and cocaine.
Percocet is a brand name for a form of the painkiller oxycodone, the

active ingredient in OxyContin.
Federal prosecutors said Wrenn for more than a year had been
routinely using and distributing drugs, at times out in the open at
local bars.
Swampscott police were tipped off about Wrenn's alleged drug use
in January 2007. Madigan asked Wrenn to take a drug test, but the
officer refused. He also told the chief that he recently had dental
work done and was taking Percocet and Vicodin, according to the
affidavit.
"Given the information he had, the chief could not compel the
officer to take a drug test," Maylor said. Madigan could only
recommend one.
"The chief took the steps that were within his rights to take,"
Maylor said. "We don't have language (in the police contract) that
would have offered him more authority."
Madigan could not be reached for comment yesterday.
The police contract, which expires in 2010, does not include specific
provisions related to drug testing, Maylor said. The town does not
drug-test any of its employees.
Only employees licensed to operate heavy equipment are

potentially subject to testing under federal guidelines.
The department suspended Wrenn without pay, his lawyer said in

court last week. Selectmen Chairman Adam Forman could not be
reached for comment yesterday about whether the board will
address the officer's situation tonight.
Selectmen will meet at 7:30 in the Swampscott Public Library.
If convicted of the charges, Wrenn could face up to 20 years in

prison.

Swampscott -
Swampscott police officer Thomas C. Wrenn, 37, of Nahant has

been arrested and suspended without pay from the force while
awaiting a scheduled probable cause hearing on drug charges
March 24.
Wrenn appeared in U.S. District Court on March 14 and pleaded

innocent to charges on a criminal complaint filed against him late
Thursday, March 13, that charges him with possession of and intent
to distribute oxycodone. Percocet is a form of oxycodone.
He was released on a $15,000 bond, ordered to surrender his

passport and weapons, required to submit to random drug testing
and not to leave eastern Massachusetts or sail more than a mile
offshore. Further, he was ordered not to have contact with any of
the witnesses in his case. Wrenn, who earned $97,000, was
assigned a court-appointed attorney after he told the court he and
his wife are paying on a $634,000 mortgage.
U.S. Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, June W. Stansbury, special agent

in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New England
Field Division and Swampscott Police Chief Ronald Madigan
announced the criminal complaint against Wrenn.
The government alleges that Wrenn purchased Percocet pills over a

period of months, beginning in the fall of 2006. During that period,
according to the complaint, Wrenn allegedly routinely consumed
Percocet pills and cocain, in some instances while in police uniform.
According to the sworn affidavit filed in the federal court, Wrenn

also distributed a quantity of Percocet pills to a former Nahant
police officer and a young woman in connection with a romantic
liaison. That former Nahant officer, Paul English Jr., is serving time
in federal prison on drug charges.

Wrenn was arrested by Drug Enforcement Administration agents,

acting in concert with the Swampscott Police Department, late on
the evening of March 14 after he allegedly “purchased a quantity of
Percocet pills from one of his regular suppliers,” the government’s
complaint said.
Federal agents knew of the planned transaction and took Wrenn

into custody shortly after he took possession of 50 tabs of Percocet,
Sullivan said in a press release.
According to the affidavit, allegations of Wrenn’s drug use and

distribution first came to light early in 2007 when a citizen reported
information about Wrenn’s habits to the Swampscott Police
Department. The sworn affidavit also alleges that Wrenn refused to
take a drug test at the time, claiming he would likely fail because
he had dental work done and was taking prescription medication,
specifically Percocet and Vicoden.
The complaint further alleges that Wrenn was observed “snorting

cocaine with a young woman” during the second half of 2006.
On the evening Wrenn was arrested (March 13), he met an

“associate,” who was accompanied by a DEA undercover officer, at
a restaurant in Lynn. The ensuing conversation was surreptitiously
audio recorded. The affidavit states that after his arrest, Wrenn
“agreed to speak with officer. Wrenn admitted that he had
possessed and distributed Percocet pills on a number of prior
occasions including distribution to Associate B and a former Nahant
police officer. Wrenn also admitted to possession and consumption
of cocaine on prior occasions.”
It continues with allegations that a search of his police locker, to

which Wrenn consented, revealed a Pez candy dispenser and a later
search of his home uncovered another Pez dispenser in a bag which
also contained Wrenn’s gym clothes.
The complaint alleged that in a conversation with a government

witness on March 12, both Wrenn and the witness referred to
Percocet as “Pez.”
Wrenn’s address is listed as 17 Prospect St. in Nahant and he was

employed as a Swampscott Police Department officer in early 1998,
the affidavit states. He also has an appointment as an Essex County
deputy sheriff and prior to his employment as a law enforcement
officer, Wrenn was employed by the Swampscott School
Department as a custodian.
The investigation was conducted by the DEA and the Swampscott

Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorney John T. McNeil is Sullivan’s Public Corruption United.
Chief Madigan said he cannot comment on personnel matters.
In an interview with the Swampscott Reporter published Dec. 4,

1997, Wrenn, then 27, said he graduated from Swampscott High

School in 1988 and received a bachelor of science in criminal justice

from Suffolk University in 1992. After college he worked as a
private investigator for an insurance company. For the last few
years he's done custodial and maintenance work at Swampscott
High School.
"I've always looked up to police officers," Wrenn said more than 10

years ago. "I had them as coaches (He played football in high
school) and saw the great work that they did."
Wrenn said he wanted to be a "peace officer," not just dealing only

with bad issues like he did as an insurance investigator. "I'd just
like to be there for people who need it," he said.

SWAMPSCOTT — The case against a Swampscott police officer

accused of dealing prescription drugs will move forward after a
federal judge yesterday found enough evidence to support the
charge against Thomas Wrenn.
Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler made her ruling following a

probable cause hearing in U.S. District Court in Boston. The

decision means Wrenn, 37, of Nahant, will face prosecution on a

charge of possession with intent to distribute oxycodone.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John McNeil said that Wrenn was caught
"literally red-handed" buying Percocet pills from an associate who
was cooperating with federal authorities. Then the veteran officer,
who has worked for 10 years in Swampscott, confessed to giving
the drug to five other people on a number of prior occasions, McNeil
said.
Wrenn's lawyer tried unsuccessfully to argue that the evidence

detailed in an affidavit compiled by Special Agent Dennis Barton of
the federal Drug Enforcement Agency failed to support the
distribution charge against Wrenn.
"They do not have the distribution part," defense attorney Tracy

Miner said. "There's simply not enough (evidence)."
Federal agents and Swampscott police arrested Wrenn on March 13.

The married father of two children pleaded not guilty and was
released on $15,000 bond. If convicted of the charge, Wrenn could
face up to 20 years in prison.
Barton took the witness stand yesterday in Boston and described

the circumstances immediately preceding Wrenn's arrest. Wrenn
and an associate who was aiding the federal investigation without
Wrenn's knowledge met at the Green Tea Chinese Restaurant on
the Lynnway, Barton said.
Barton, parked in the adjacent Dollar Tree lot, said he watched

Wrenn and his associate complete a transaction just outside the
restaurant's front door.
"I had a clear field of vision," Barton said. "I could see what
happened. I saw a hand-to-hand transaction."
The associate gave Wrenn a brown pill bottle with 50 Percocet pills,
Barton said. Wrenn handed the associate $21 cash, which was
supposed to be a down payment, the agent said.
During an interview in a car after his arrest, Barton said Wrenn

admitted to providing Percocet to five other people, including a
former Nahant police officer with whom he owns a lobster boat.
Barton described the other parties Wrenn identified as a 21-year-
old woman, a woman from Lynn, a woman from Nahant in her 20s
and a woman from Lynn in her 20s.
Wrenn told federal agents that he did not charge for the drug.
"He used the word 'gave,'" Barton said. "He said he did not get
money."
The affidavit chronicles numerous taped conversations variously

involving a cooperating witness, an associate of Wrenn and
sometimes Wrenn himself that implicate the officer in drug use,

including Percocet and cocaine, and distribution. Percocet is a brand

name for a form of the painkiller oxycodone, the active ingredient in
OxyContin.
Wrenn's lawyer highlighted instances from the affidavit when Wrenn

declined an offer for Percocet pills. But Barton pointed out that
Wrenn always left open the possibility for future transactions.
"He never actually closed the door," Barton said.
Miner said a search of Wrenn's car and house did not turn up any
drugs. She also called into question the credibility of the help
offered by a witness who cooperated with the police and federal
agents. She said it came in exchange for a reduced punishment on
a drug charge.
Barton said that there might have been an agreement with

Swampscott police, but there was no arrangement with federal
authorities. The charge against the witness — knowingly being in a
place where heroin is kept — was also not one that typically results
in a jail sentence, Barton said.
"I think that there was an outside chance that this person would go
to jail," he said.
Given Wrenn's confession, "whether the cooperating witness is an

angel or a devil has very little relevance," McNeil said.
Wrenn wore a suit and sat quietly next to his lawyer during
yesterday's hearing
The town has placed him on unpaid leave, and the selectmen will
consider additional punishment, up to and including termination,
after Town Administrator Andrew Maylor holds a hearing.

SWAMPSCOTT — A former Swampscott police officer arrested on

drug charges in March is scheduled to plead guilty next week to
charges of distributing both Percocet and cocaine, according to
court records.
Thomas Wrenn, 37, of Nahant was charged last month in a

superseding complaint with possession with intent to distribute both
oxycodone, the active component of Percocet, and cocaine.
According to the case docket, a status hearing earlier this

week was canceled and a change of plea hearing was
scheduled for June 12 in U.S. District Court before Judge
Joseph Tauro.
Wrenn was originally arrested March 13 outside a Lynn restaurant,

where he had allegedly just accepted a package of Percocet pills
from someone who was cooperating with federal investigators.
A judge subsequently found probable cause for the case to move

forward to trial. Wrenn resigned from the force in April, citing
"personal reasons."
Last month, federal prosecutor John McNeil filed what is known as

an "information," a criminal complaint that is filed directly by
prosecutors, rather than issued by a grand jury. That complaint,
which replaces the original indictment against Wrenn, included the
new cocaine charge, as well as a request for the forfeiture of his
2003 yellow Hummer H-2 SUV, where prosecutors allege some of
the drug transactions took place. Police seized the vehicle at the
time of his arrest outside the Green Tea Chinese restaurant in Lynn.
Wrenn was a 10-year veteran of the Swampscott Police Department

and a deputy sheriff. In early 2007, someone raised concerns about
Wrenn's alleged drug use to Chief Ronald Madigan. But Madigan
was powerless to do anything after Wrenn refused to take a drug
test.
Then, a former associate of Wrenn was arrested on a charge of

being present where heroin was kept. The associate and Wrenn had
allegedly had a falling-out over a soured drug transaction months
earlier but renewed their acquaintance after the arrest, prosecutors
said.

That associate would turn out to be a cooperating witness against

Wrenn. On the night of March 13, he and Wrenn arranged to meet
at the Lynn restaurant, where Wrenn allegedly gave him a $21
down payment on 50 Percocet pills — pills Wrenn allegedly referred
to as "Pez." Wrenn allegedly stored pills inside his child's Batman
Pez dispensers — one of which was found in his police locker,
authorities said.
After his arrest, Wrenn allegedly admitted to using and distributing

Percocet and to using cocaine. The complaint against him covers a
five-year time frame, starting in 2003 and ending on the day of his
arrest. It alleges that the Percocet distribution took place over that
entire five years. The cocaine charge covers a shorter period,
between August and October 2006.
Wrenn's attorney, Tracy Miner, had argued during a probable cause

hearing that prosecutors would be unable to prove the element of
distribution against her client.
No plea agreement had been filed with the court as of yesterday.

The potential penalty for possession of oxycodone with intent to
distribute is 20 years in prison.
Neither the prosecutor nor Wrenn's attorney returned calls seeking

comment yesterday.

BOSTON—A former Swampscott police officer has pleaded guilty to

federal charges of selling oxycodone and cocaine.
Thirty-eight-year-old Thomas Wrenn of Nahant pleaded guilty in

federal court in Boston on Thursday. He also agreed to forfeit a car
prosecutors said was linked to the drug deals. A sentencing hearing
is set for September.
Wrenn was arrested in March after allegedly buying 50 pills from a

police informant.
Federal prosecutors said the investigation began after Swampscott

police were tipped off about Wrenn's alleged drug use last year.
They alleged he had distributed illegal painkillers on about 20
occasions in the past five years, and had distributed cocaine on
three occasions in 2006.
Wrenn resigned from the police department after his arrest.

Staff Writer
BOSTON — In a voice barely audible, former Swampscott police

officer Thomas Wrenn pleaded guilty yesterday to two counts of
possession with intent to sell cocaine and oxycodone while he
worked as a patrolman and as an Essex County deputy sheriff.
U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Tauro delayed acceptance of the

plea until Wrenn is sentenced on Sept. 18 at 2:15 p.m. That
sentence, according to guidelines, could bring the disgraced officer
anything from probation to 20 years in prison, plus a $1 million fine
on each count.
He has already forfeited his Hummer, an extravagant vehicle

prosecutors said was purchased with drug money. Tauro referenced
a plea bargain between Wrenn and the United States attorney, only
to note that he is not bound by it.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John McNeil outlined the case against the
37-year-old Wrenn, which began in January 2007 when someone
described only as "a concerned citizen" approached the police with
stories that the officer was using illegal drugs.
"This citizen said that Wrenn was a serious drug user," McNeil said.
Confronted by police Chief Ronald Madigan, Wrenn denied any drug

use even as he refused drug testing. About a year later, a second
informant came forward to say he had sold Wrenn a quantity of
Percocet tablets — a prescription painkiller — about nine times,
McNeil said.
This informant, also unnamed, said he later struck up a friendship

with Wrenn.
"And they started taking drugs together," McNeil said.
The two had a subsequent falling out over some unpaid drug bills —
but during the past winter, local police and federal Drug
Enforcement Agency operatives persuaded the informant to renew
the friendship.
It was a relationship they would monitor closely, sometimes

recording telephone calls.
On March 13, during an exchange of drugs with the informant in

front of the Green Tea Chinese Restaurant on the Lynnway in Lynn,

Wrenn was arrested.
Eventually, more drug users admitted dealing with Wrenn. For his
part, he cooperated with the police, revealing, for example, that he
sold drugs to former Nahant police officer Michael Kairevich.
"Mr. Kairevich also testified that he and Wrenn snorted cocaine,"

McNeil said.
Wrenn resigned as a Swampscott police officer three days after the

arrest, and he was later dismissed as a deputy sheriff.
A Swampscott officer for 10 years, Wrenn was involved with the

drug trade for five of those years, McNeil said.
He admitted to possession with intent to distribute oxycodone,

which is found in Percocet, and possession of cocaine with intent to
distribute.
In a mostly vacant courtroom, with his father looking on, Wrenn

said little during the hearing; He politely declined to speak to a
reporter on the advice of his attorney, Tracy Miner. A Nahant
resident, Wrenn is married with two small children.
Wrenn made his plea only after he was carefully questioned by

Tauro to ensure he understood the ramifications of his decision. He
also waived his right to appear first before a grand jury. When the
hearing ended, Miner changed course and offered a statement on
her client's behalf.
"Mr. Wrenn accepts responsibility for his personal failure," she said,
"and he is sorry he put his family through so much pain."

Posts: 31403 SWAMPSCOTT - A 10-year veteran of the Swampscott Police
Department has pleaded guilty to federal felony charges of
distributing oxycodone and cocaine over a five-year period.
Thomas Wrenn, 38, 17 Prospect St., Nahant pleaded guilty in U.

S. District Court in Boston Thursday afternoon before Judge Joseph
L. Tauro.
During the hearing, the government alleged that Wrenn began

purchasing and distributing Percocet pills approximately five years
ago. Prosecutors also alleged Wrenn distributed Percocet or Vicodin
pills on approximately 20 occasions and distributed cocaine on three
occasions in 2006. During the same period, he also snorted cocaine
and abused Percocet or Vicodin pills on dozens of occasions.
U.S. Attorney's Office Spoke-sman Christina D'Orio Sterling said

Wrenn is due back in court Sept. 18 for a sentencing hearing. He
could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison and fined $1 million
for each count.
Wrenn was arrested March 13 on the Lynnway by the Drug

Enforcement Agency. A criminal complaint against him alleged he
bought Percocet pills, which are a form of oxycodone, over a period
of months beginning in the fall of 2006. According to the affidavit,
Wrenn allegedly routinely consumed Percocet and cocaine and in
some instances did so while in uniform and conducted some drug
transactions out of his vehicle.
According to a published legal notice, the DEA seized Wrenn's bright

yellow 2003 Hummer H2 on March 13, which was the same day of
his arrest. Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, June W. Stansbury, special
agent in Charge of the DEA's New England Field Division, and
Swampscott Police Chief Ronald Madigan, announced Wrenn agreed
on Thursday to forfeit the car he used in connection with his
purchase and distribution of narcotics.
*
Wrenn was arrested in front of the Green Tea Chinese restaurant
where he allegedly purchased 50 Percocet pills from an associate
who was cooperating with law enforcement. After his arrest, Wrenn
allegedly told authorities he had used cocaine and Percocet.
According to prosecutors, Wrenn also admitted to Federal
prosecutors he provided Percocet to five other people. According to
the affidavit, Wrenn distributed a quantity of Percocet pills to a
former Nahant police officer and a young woman in connection with

a romantic liaison.
On March 14, in a hearing in U.S. District Court, Wrenn pleaded not

guilty to possession with intent to distribute the painkiller
oxycodone and was released on a $15,000 bond.
Wrenn had also served as a Deputy Sheriff for Essex County. Before
he started working for the Swampscott Police Department, Wrenn
was employed by the Swampscott Public Schools as a custodian.
Wrenn earned $97,000 last year and lives in a $634,000 home, but
received a court appointed attorney because he claimed he was
unable to afford an attorney. Attorney Tracy Miner, who is with the
firm of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky, and Popeo, was
appointed to represent Wrenn. Miner represented former FBI agent
John Connolly a few years ago. In March, Wrenn surrendered his
passport and weapons to the court.
On March 16, Wrenn was suspended for five working days without
pay and was placed on unpaid administrative leave. The Board of
Selectmen voted to hold a disciplinary hearing, which was never
actually scheduled because Wrenn resigned voluntarily before a
hearing could be held.

BOISE - A Boise Police officer was cited for driving under the
influence Saturday morning – but didn’t show up on the arrest list
on the Ada County Sheriff’s Office website. The omission is leading
some to ask if an officer is treated differently than the general
public.
Gary Miller, 37 is a ten year veteran of the Boise Police

Department. An Idaho State Police trooper stopped him in his
private vehicle just after midnight near Saint Alphonsus Regional
Medical Center at Curtis Rd. and Irving St.
Miller was taken to the Vernon L. Bisterfeldt Public Safety Building

on Barrister St. in Boise – but was not booked into the Ada County
Jail.
Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Andrea Dearden said the

decision not to book Miller was made by the arresting Idaho
State Police officer.
Idaho State Police spokesperson Rick Ohnsman would not talk

specifically about this case – saying that his supervisors have
instructed him to refer questions to the Boise Police Department.

Ohnsman said in general police officers in this situation would not

be booked into the jail.
"Rather than take the guy to jail with other prisoners, what they will
very often do is they will run him through the process, take his
information - then release him,” he said. “His arrest is still valid and
he will face the charge."
Dearden notes officials could potentially create a situation where an

officer was in proximity to people he had arrested.
"You can't put a law enforcement officer in with potentially

dangerous people,” she said – but also noted “If someone comes to
our jail, we'll keep them safe.”
Miller’s name, mug shot and charges did not show up on the
“arrests” list on www.adasheriff.org because he was not booked
into the jail.
The media was notified of the incident by a news release from the
Boise Police Department - not Idaho State Police - Saturday
afternoon.
In addition to criminal proceedings, Boise Police spokesperson Lynn

Hightower says Miller will be subject to an internal investigation.

What a bunch of PR crap. Anytime you arrest and book a person,

you put them with postentially dangerous people. They can always
ad seg the officer if they want too.

BOISE - Boise's Police chief is speaking out about the arrest of one
of his patrol officers over the weekend.
Chief Mike Masterson talked about the incident in which Boise

Bench patrol officer Mike Miller was arrested for allegedly driving
under the influence. Idaho State Police arrested Miller over the
weekend.
"It's something that we don't tolerate," Masterson said. "We hold

our folks to a higher standard and there will be consequences as a
result of his actions."
The alleged incident drew some heat over the weekend when it was
learned that Miller was not booked into the Ada County Jail, which
ultimately meant a mugshot of Miller would not be posted onto the
Ada County Jail website. Officials said they didn't put Miller into a
holding cell due to safety concerns.
Miller has been taken off patrol pending the department's internal
investigation. Although there will be consequences, Masterson said,
Miller's job, is still in tact.
"We're not going to fire him," Masterson said.

BOISE, IDAHO --
A Boise Police officer, sworn to serve and protect, is accused of

putting lives on the line.
37-year-old Gary Miller was off-duty Friday night, when he was

arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. He was taken to the Ada
County jail, cited and released.
Now some are questioning why Miller never had to see the inside of
a jail cell.
Idaho State Police made the arrest, and aren't commenting.
Boise Police Capt. Scott Mulcahy says officers are often kept out of
jail for safety reasons.
"If we were to take him into jail with people he may have arrested
the previous week or month, that puts the jail in an awkward
position of keeping them separated," he said.
Mulcahy added Miller has already been finger-printed for his job.
Also, considering where he works, it wouldn't be difficult to track
him down if he doesn't show up for court.
But several residents think Miller got "preferential treatment."
Bill Schwartz, of Boise, thinks Miller should've been booked into jail,
and then fired from the department.
"He's not acting like a leader. I don't think Boise City Police needs
something like that on their force," he said.
Kristin Beckman thinks the jail could have found a separate cell to
put him in.
Donnie Jarwin, of Boise, thinks Miller set a very bad example.
"Police officers are there to protect us. And when they're

caught doing the same thing they arrest people for, what
kind of role model is that? Especially drunk driving. There
are so many innocent victims killed in car accidents. It's
appaulling," Jarwin said.
In addition to the charges, Miller faces an internal investigation and

administrative discipline. As of now, he remains on the force.
"He has a proven track record of being a good employee. He just

made a poor decision," Mulcahy said.
Miller currently works as a patrol officer in the Bench area.

From emails send to Today's Channel 6 News asking, "Why didn't

they put the officer in a holding cell and let him bond out, or put
him in an isolation cell?" to telephone calls to our news room,
people across the treasure valley want to know if Officer Gary Miller
got special treatment.
The 10-year Boise Police veteran was pulled over and arrested for
DUI. But ISP never booked him into the Ada County jail. A
spokesman for state police denies Miller got special treatment. He
said otherwise, he would have never been charged. But he was not
booked, because as an officer his finger prints and picture were
already on file. Plus, there was a safety issue in case Miller was in
jail with someone he once arrested.
Today's Channel Six News has learned that both Meridian and
Nampa police do not have policies regarding the arrests or citations

of officers. But Nampa says if it were to happen, it would have to

treat each case on a case by case basis.

Gary Miller did receive special treatment although they are denying
it. Procedures are procedures, and he should have been booked into
the jail just like any other common criminal and allowed to bond
out. I'm sure that they have some of those other criminals
fingerprints and pictures on file too. Maybe they should just release
them after arrest since the cops have their fingerprints and pictures
on file. The safety issue excuse is a bunch of BS since jails have ad

safety in general population. If we were to believe the spokesman

for Ada county jail excuse, then no one is safe in their jail.

Boise police officer fights DUI charge

Ada County asks Idaho AG to prosecute the misdemeanor case of
Gary C. Miller.

Edition Date: 06/12/08
Ten-year Boise police officer Gary C. Miller will go to court to

challenge a misdemeanor DUI citation he received in late April.
The Ada County prosecutor's office has asked the Idaho attorney
general's office to act as special prosecutor.
"We work with him (Miller) regularly as an officer where he's a

witness on our cases. That's a conflict for us," said Ben Harmer, a
deputy prosecutor for Ada County.
Bob Cooper, a spokesman for the Idaho attorney general's office,

said Miller's attorney has requested a jury trial. But no trial date
has been set.
Miller, 37, was off duty when he was arrested by an Idaho State
Police trooper at 12:15 a.m. April 26 near the corner of Curtis Road
and Irving Street.
According to court records obtained by the Idaho Statesman, the

arresting officer's report says that Miller swerved in his lane on the
Connector, failed to use his turn signal after exiting on Curtis Road
and failed to yield to oncoming traffic as he turned left off Curtis
onto Irving.
The trooper noted that Miller had a strong odor of alcohol, slurred
speech, glassy and blood-shot eyes. He admitted drinking "like, two
beers."
The arrest report says Miller refused to take a field sobriety test at
the scene, but he did agree to a take a breath test on the
Intoxilyzer 5000 and a blood test at the Ada County jail.
Miller's one attempt on the breath test yielded "a deficient sample"
of .144 blood-alcohol content, the report said.
ISP spokesman Rick Ohnsman said Wednesday that he wasn't

familiar with the details of this particular case. But he said a steady
stream of air is needed for a proper breath test reading.
"If we don't feel that the test was done properly, it might be
deemed an inappropriate or incorrect sample," Ohnsman said. "A
blood sample is a better test because it's not as easily skewed."
Ohnsman did not know the results of Miller's blood test.
Miller is at work on restricted duty, pending the outcome of the

case. That means he is not on patrol, not wearing a uniform, and
not in contact with the public doing enforcement, said Boise police
spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.

BOISE – More details are beginning to emerge about a Boise Police
officer's DUI arrest back in April.
It’s been learned that he will fight those charges.
Gary Miller of the Boise Police Department was arrested by an

Idaho State Police officer on April 24. Miller was charged with
driving under the influence.
The arrest report further explains what allegedly happened.
"I could smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage," the police
report states. "Miller's eyes were also extremely glassy and
bloodshot. I asked miller how much he had to drink but it was
slurred and I could not understand him."
Miller later told the officer he had “like two beers.”
The officer was never booked into the jail for apparent safety
concerns and a mug shot was never taken. According to the arrest
report, Miller refused to take a field sobriety test - which anyone
can choose to do.
He was taken to the Ada County jail where a breathalyzer came

back with a deficient sample of .144. A blood test was then taken
but the results are not yet in court documents.
The Ada County prosecutor has now forwarded this case onto the
attorney general's office who will handle it from here on out.
The prosecutor said since officers such as Miller are often witnesses
in their court cases, it would be a conflict of interest.

Sp. Fork cop resigns after DUI arrest

A Spanish Fork police officer has resigned after he and his wife were
arrested on DUI charges.
Officer Tony Lunceford and Janalee Lunceford were arrested
early Sunday morning and booked into the Utah County Jail on
charges of DUI, open container in a vehicle and having window
tinting that was too dark.
Lunceford was placed on paid administrative leave after the

incident, and later submitted his resignation, which will be effective

today, according to assistant city manager Seth Perrins. Lunceford
had worked for the Spanish Fork Police Department since July 2004,
Perrins said.
Lt. Al Christianson of the Utah Highway Patrol said Janalee

Lunceford was driving the couple's Ford pickup truck around 1:30 a.
m. Sunday when she veered off the right side of the road and hit a
tree and a power box at 3420 E. Riverbottom Road. After the
accident, Tony Lunceford took the wheel, Christianson said.
Spanish Fork police responded to a report of an accident and

located the vehicle near 1300 East and 200 South. Christianson said
the officers called UHP when they realized that the driver was a
member of their department.
"They contacted the highway patrol to ... take over to avoid a

conflict of interest," Christianson said.
Christianson said field sobriety and breath tests indicated alcohol

use for both Luncefords. Both refused chemical tests for alcohol,
Christianson said, but consented to blood tests after troopers
obtained a warrant. He said UHP had not received the blood test
results as of Tuesday.
State law requires that anyone who refuses a sobriety test have
their license taken for up to 18 months for a first offense.
Christianson said he did not know whether Tony and Janalee
Lunceford would lose their licenses.
"That's up to the driver's license division," he said.
Tony and Janalee Lunceford could not be reached for comment. It

was not clear whether they had an attorney in the case.

PROVO — A Spanish Fork police officer's resignation was effective

Wednesday after he was arrested last weekend for investigation of
Patrolman Tony Lunceford and his wife, Janalee Lunceford, were

arrested early Sunday morning for investigation of DUI, having an
open container in the vehicle and having their windows tinted too

dark, as well.
Spanish Fork police responded to 3420 W. Riverbottom Road just

after 1:30 a.m. Sunday where they had received a report of a truck
crashing into a utility box.
Once they realized who was in the car, Spanish Fork police called
Utah Highway Patrol officers to handle the case, said UHP trooper
Cameron Roden.
"You never like to see one of your own go down for something like
this," Roden said. "But we're going to do what we need to do. We're
officers still, but we have a job to do."
He commended Spanish Fork officers for their quick response to

getting an unbiased party to handle the investigation.
UHP officers soon learned that both Luncefords had been driving the
car — one before the crash, and one after for a few blocks.
They were cooperative, Roden said, but after they failed the field
sobriety tests, they refused to take chemical tests.
Story continues below

Officers took them to the Utah County Jail where they obtained a
warrant to obtain the chemical tests.
They were booked in just before 4 a.m. and bailed out two hours
later.
Attempts to contact the Luncefords by phone were unsuccessful.
Lunceford had worked as a patrol officer for Spanish Fork since July
2004 and was not on duty when he was arrested, said Seth Perrins,
assistant city manager for Spanish Fork.
Tuesday, Lunceford delivered a letter of resignation to the city and

the police department, which became effective Wednesday, Perrins
said.
Had Lunceford not resigned, the process would have been the same
for any arrest or allegation against a city employee, Perrins said.
"Anytime you have an incident such as this, and it affects your

ability to do your job ... (you're) placed on administrative leave,"
Perrins said. "(There's) an investigation ... a report is compiled and
recommendations are made."
It's the first time in recent years, Perrins said, that an officer has
resigned after being arrested himself.
"He was a good officer, a good guy," Perrins said. "I think
everybody's very concerned about their friend and their co-worker,
and hopes he'll be OK."

A Spanish Fork police officer has resigned after being arrested for
drunken driving Sunday morning.
Officers from the Spanish Fork Police Department were dispatched

around 1:30 a.m. after a car slammed into a powerbox near 3420
West Riverbottoms Road in Spanish Fork, said Utah Highway Patrol
spokesman Cameron Roden.
When they spotted the car, they called troopers with the Utah
Highway Patrol to avoid a conflict of interest since the driver, Tony
Lunceford, was a Spanish Fork officer, said Roden.
Troopers arrested Lunceford and his wife, Janalee, on suspicion of

driving under the influence, having an open container in a vehicle
and having tinted windows. Janalee was also in the vehicle and
admitted to driving the car after the accident, Roden said.
Lunceford was placed on paid administrative leave after his arrest,

and later submitted a letter of resignation, according to assistant
city manager Seth Perrins. He had been working for the Spanish
Fork Police Department since July 2004.

A former Indianapolis police officer who pleaded guilty to tipping off

as many as 15 drug suspects about a raid last year was acting
alone, a federal official said Monday.
Noble Duke, 39, Indianapolis, pleaded guilty Friday to unlawfully

disclosing the contents of federally authorized wiretaps with the

intent to obstruct or impede a criminal investigation.
Duke, who resigned from the Indianapolis Metropolitan

Police Department last month, faces a maximum prison
sentence of five years and a maximum fine of $250,000.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker will sentence Duke within
about 70 days, said Timothy M. Morrison, acting U.S. attorney for
the Southern District of Indiana. He said Duke is free on pretrial
release. Attempts to reach Duke for comment were unsuccessful.
Duke was charged after an investigation revealed he shared

information with an acquaintance about a major Indianapolis drug
raid planned for June 21, Morrison said. The acquaintance passed
along that information to some of the targets of the investigation,
resulting in 15 suspects fleeing before police could arrest them.
Duke's action put the lives of other police officers and citizens at
risk, Morrison said.
"Law enforcement operations like this are risky enough when

everything goes right, and when police don't have the element of
surprise on their side, it can be even worse," he said. "We're just
really lucky no one was injured as a result of what he did."
Court documents show that all but two of the 15 suspects who fled
after being tipped off have been located and arrested.
Duke found out about the drug investigation and planned roundup
of cocaine dealers while he was assigned to a multiagency drug task
force.
Court records show Duke was assigned in April 2005 to the

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives'
Achilles Task Force, a team of federal, state and local law
enforcement officers investigating cocaine trafficking in the
Indianapolis area.
As part of these investigations, officers conducted court-authorized

wiretaps of the cell phones used by individuals who were part of
several interrelated cocaine distribution groups under scrutiny.
While investigators were monitoring those cell calls, Duke was
monitoring telephone calls involving another group of suspects in an
unrelated drug case.
Work on the two cases took place in the same room at the FBI
office, and court records show Duke overheard and saw information
about the other case and planned raid.
Between May 18 and June 16, a person identified in court

documents as "Individual #1" contacted Duke on behalf of some of
the suspects and asked whether the officer could find out
information about the federal investigation. Morrison said
"Individual #1" was an acquaintance of Duke's, as well as some of

the people who were targets of the federal drug probe.
In mid-June, Duke told his contact that indictments were pending

and a raid was being planned for either June 19 or June 21,
according to court records. Several of the targets then went into
hiding or fled to avoid arrest.
Duke told his contact "he could lose his job for giving out this
information," court records show.
Morrison said the investigation into the leaked information, which

began shortly after the raid, found the information apparently
wasn't divulged for money or any other benefit to Duke.
"It was out of association or friendship (to "Individual #1)," he said.
Duke, who was dismissed from the task force in August, was
identified by "Individual #1" as the source of the leaked
information. He resigned from IMPD on March 17 and was charged
the following day.
"This type of behavior is not acceptable," said Sgt. Paul Thompson,

an IMPD spokesman. "We expect them to discharge their duties in a
professional manner."
Thompson said IMPD's human resources department could not be

reached late Monday to release the public portions of Duke's
personnel file. Court documents show Duke began working for the
Indianapolis Police Department in February 2001 and stayed with
IMPD after it merged with the Marion County Sheriff's Department.
Despite Duke tipping off several suspects, federal officials hailed the
nine-month investigation and roundup as a success. At the time,
they said the effort dismantled a loose affiliation of groups that had
distributed hundreds of kilos of cocaine since the fall of 2006.
The investigation is one of the biggest "this office has done in terms
of scope, complexity and numbers," John Dowd, assistant U.S.
attorney, said in June. The busts resulted in the confiscation of
cocaine with a street value of more than $3 million, about $125,000
in cash and 23 weapons.
Of the 36 individuals indicted, five were already in custody on other

charges, and 13 were arrested during the June 21 raid.
Morrison said some of the suspects have entered pleas, and trials
are scheduled for many of the others.
Call Star reporter Tim Evans at (317) 444-6204.

Man Suspected Of Revealing Wiretap Info In Drug Case

INDIANAPOLIS -- A former Indianapolis police officer accused of
revealing information that let several drug suspects avoid arrest
last year has pleaded guilty in the case, the federal government
said.
Noble Duke, 39, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty Friday to unlawfully

disclosing the contents of federally authorized wiretaps with the
intent to obstruct or impede a criminal investigation, according to
Timothy Morrison, acting U.S. attorney for Indiana's southern
district.
Duke was monitoring phone conversations in one court-authorized

wiretap case but was aware of another one -- a case in which
officers would try to arrest 36 people on drug trafficking charges --
being conducted in the same room at the Indianapolis FBI office,
Morrison's office said.
The federal government alleges that someone asked Duke to find

out information about the other investigation last spring. Duke
eventually told this person that certain people's phone
conversations were being monitored, that an indictment was
pending, and that police officers would try to arrest people on a
certain day, the government alleges.
On June 21, officers arrested 18 of the 36 people they wanted to

capture; three subsequently surrendered. The other 15 avoided
arrest "due at least in part to the knowledge" provided by Duke that
officers were going to be looking for them, Morrison's office said in
a news release Monday.

Duke was charged on March 18, not long after he resigned from the
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the news release said.
Duke could receive a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine

of up to $250,000, the news release said. He is expected to be
sentenced within the next 70 days.

Posts: 31403 INDIANAPOLIS - A former police officer faces up to five years in
prison after pleading guilty to tipping off suspects in a federal drug
investigation.
Noble Duke, 39, also could be fined $250,000 when U.S. District
Judge Sarah Evans Barker sentences him within about 70 days.
Duke pleaded guilty Friday to disclosing wiretaps to damage a

criminal investigation, acting U.S. Attorney Tim Morrison said
Monday.
Duke, who had been an Indianapolis police officer since February

2001, resigned last month. He had been part of a federal drug task
force from 2005 to 2007.
Federal agents monitored cell phone conversations between

members of several suspected cocaine-dealing groups as part of the
probe. Officials said Duke revealed to some of the suspects that

their calls were being monitored, that an indictment was pending

and that police planned to arrest people on a certain date.
"Compromising criminal investigations by alerting persons to their

imminent arrest creates situations that endanger both law
enforcement officers and the public," Morrison said in a statement.
"Fortunately, no one got hurt here, but we were only lucky."
A federal grand jury indicted 36 people on drug trafficking charges

in June, but prosecutors said 15 evaded arrest at least partly
because they had been tipped off by Duke.
There was no number for Duke in published Indianapolis phone

listings so he could not be reached for comment.

A former Indianapolis police officer who pleaded guilty to tipping off
as many as 15 drug suspects about a raid last year was acting
alone, according to a federal official who said today that no other
officers appear to have been involved.
Noble Duke, 39, Indianapolis, entered a guilty plea Friday to

unlawfully disclosing the contents of federally authorized wiretaps

with the intent to obstruct or impede a criminal investigation.
Duke, who resigned from IMPD last month, faces a maximum

prison sentence of five years and a maximum fine of $250,000.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker will sentence Duke within
about 70 days, said Timothy M. Morrison, acting U.S. attorney for
the Southern District of Indiana. He said Duke is currently free on
pre-trial release.
Duke was charged after an investigation revealed he shared

information with an acquaintance about a major Indianapolis drug
raid planned for June 21, 2007, Morrison said. The acquaintance
passed along that information to some of the targets of the
investigation, resulting in 15 suspects fleeing before police could
arrest them.
The officer’s action put the lives of other police officers and citizens
at risk, Morrison said.
“Law enforcement operations like this are risky enough when

everything goes right,” he said, “and when police don’t have the
element of surprise on their side, it can be even worse. We’re just
really lucky no one was injured as a result of what he did.”
Court documents indicate all but two of the 15 suspects who fled
after being tipped off by Duke have been located and arrested.
Duke passed information to the suspects after finding out about the
drug investigation and planned round-up of cocaine dealers while
assigned to a multi-agency drug task force.
Court documents show connections
Court records show Duke was assigned in April 2005 to the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Achilles Task Force, a
team of federal, state and local law enforcement officers
investigating cocaine trafficking in the Indianapolis area.
As part of these investigations, officers conducted court-authorized

wiretaps of the cell phones used by individuals who were part of
several interrelated cocaine distribution groups under scrutiny. At
the same time investigators were monitoring those cell calls, Duke
was monitoring telephone calls involving another group of drug
suspects in an unrelated case.
But work on the two cases took place in the same room at the FBI
office, and court records show Duke overhead and saw information
about the other case and planned raid.
Between May 18 and June 16, a person identified in court

documents only as “Individual #1” contacted Duke on behalf of
some of the suspects and asked whether the officer could find out
information about the federal investigation. Morrison said
“Individual #1” was an acquaintance of Duke’s, as well as some of

the people who were targets of the federal drug probe.

and a raid was being planned for either June 19 or June 21,
according to court records. After that warning, several of the
targets of the drug investigation went into hiding or fled to avoid
arrest.
Duke told his contact “he could lose his job for giving out this
information,” court records show.
Morrison said the investigation into the leaked information, which

began shortly after the raid, found the information apparently
wasn’t divulged for money or any other benefit to Duke.
“It was out of association or friendship (to “Individual #1),” he said.
Duke, who was dismissed from the task force in August, was
identified by “Individual #1” as the source of the leaked
information. He resigned from IMPD on March 17 and was charged
the next day.
Reaction from IMPD
“This type of behavior is not acceptable,” said Sgt. Paul Thompson,

an IMPD spokesman. “We expect them to discharge their duties in a
professional manner.”
Thompson said IMPD’s human resources department could not be

reached late today to release the public portions of Duke’s
personnel file. Court documents show Duke began working for the
Indianapolis Police Department in February 2001 and stayed with
IMPD after it merged with the Marion County Sheriff’s Department.
Despite Duke tipping off several suspects, federal officials hailed the
nine-month investigation and round-up a success. At the time, they
said the effort dismantled a loose affiliation of groups that had
distributed hundreds of kilos of cocaine since the fall of 2006.
The investigation is one of the biggest “this office has done in terms
of scope, complexity and numbers,” John Dowd, assistant U.S.
attorney, said last June. The busts resulted in the confiscation of
cocaine with a street value of more than $3 million, about $125,000
in cash and 23 weapons.
Of the 36 individuals indicted, five were already in custody on other

charges and 13 were arrested during the June 21 raid.
Morrison said some of the suspects have entered pleas, and trials
are scheduled for many of the others.

Officer Accused Of Alerting Suspects Pleads Guilty

Man Suspected Of Revealing Wiretap Info In Drug Case

UPDATED: 8:20 am EDT April 8, 2008
INDIANAPOLIS -- A former Indianapolis police officer accused of

revealing information that let several drug suspects avoid arrest
last year has pleaded guilty in the case, the federal government
said.
Noble Duke, 39, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty Friday to

unlawfully disclosing the contents of federally authorized wiretaps
with the intent to obstruct or impede a criminal investigation,
according to Timothy Morrison, acting U.S. attorney for Indiana's
southern district.


On June 21, officers arrested 18 of the 36 people they wanted to

capture; three subsequently surrendered. The other 15 avoided

arrest "due at least in part to the knowledge" provided by Duke that
officers were going to be looking for them, Morrison's office said in
a news release Monday.
"It's damaging enough that the arrest warrants were served,

among these individuals, half of them were gone," Morrison said.
"Some of that had to be a result of the word being passed around."
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the news release said.
"It's no problem for someone in that criminal type of element to

take somebody's life, let alone a police officer's life," said Bill
Owensby, Fraternal Order of Police Local 86 president. "It's a scary
thing, and I think we're without a doubt in a better place -- a better
police department without him."
Duke could receive a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine

of up to $250,000, the news release said. He is expected to be
sentenced within the next 70 days.

Gustine police chief faces DUI charge
Arrest made near Tracy; incident being investigated

Gustine's police chief, Kris Anderson, was arrested early Sunday

morning on suspicion of drunken driving near Tracy. He has been
placed on paid administrative leave while the incident is
investigated.

Anderson, chief since January 2007, declined comment Sunday

afternoon and referred the matter to City Manager Margaret
Silveira. She said Sgt. Devon Stavrowsky will be acting police chief
this week while Anderson's arrest is examined.
"I'm very disappointed something like this happened," Silveira said.

"Mr. Anderson will be on administrative leave until I have a chance
to investigate what happened. In the next few days, I'll have more
to say."
She said she spoke briefly with Anderson on Sunday.
California Highway Patrol Officer Robert Rickman of the Tracy area

CHP office said Anderson, 59, was arrested at 12:03 a.m. Sunday
on Interstate 580 near Corral Hollow Road after his Jeep sport
utility vehicle was observed weaving erratically and he failed a field
sobriety test.
Anderson attended the annual Gustine Chamber of Commerce

awards banquet Saturday night at the Al Goman Center in Gustine,
Judi Gandy, chamber secretary and past president, confirmed.
He was cited and released to a family member. Officers are not

required to take a drunken-driving suspect to jail, and one of the
options is citing and releasing them, Rickman said.
Between preparations for Saturday night's storm and low CHP

staffing in the area, it was not unusual for a DUI suspect to be
released without being booked, Rickman said.
Gustine City Councilman Jim Bonta said he would keep an open

mind and wants to find out the facts in connection with Anderson's
arrest and go from there. Bonta also said Anderson attended the
chamber event Saturday night.
"I'm disappointed, sorry it occurred," Bonta said. "I'm not sure what
happened; it's unfortunate. We were just starting to go forward. We
will handle everything professionally and appropriately."
Pat Thistle, union official of Operating Engineers Local 3 in Modesto,

which represents the Gustine Police Officers Association, said the
chief's arrest is another chapter in an ongoing saga.
The Gustine police association issued a unanimous no-confidence

vote against Anderson in July and labor leaders demanded he be
fired. Thistle said Sunday that nothing has been resolved.
Gustine Mayor Pro Tem Joe Oliveira said the arrest was "very
disappointing" and the council would address it.
Rickman said the CHP received a call at 11:31 p.m. Saturday about
a possible drunken driver westbound on Interstate 580. Anderson
was very cooperative, Rickman said. The arrest report will be filed
with the San Joaquin County district attorney's office for a decision

on whether to prosecute Anderson.
Anderson, a 28-year veteran of the Alameda County Sheriff's

Department and a Livermore resident, is partially through a three-
year contract as Gustine chief and his starting salary was $72,293 a
year. He was hired by City Manager Roger Wong, who was replaced
by Silveira.

Posts: 31403 Controversial Gustine police chief Kris Anderson faces possible DUI
charges after being pulled over by Highway Patrol officers early
Sunday in Tracy and failing a field sobriety test, a Tracy CHP
spokesman confirmed.
The arrest happened after CHP officers received a call of a Jeep

weaving in and out of traffic on westbound Interstate 580 near
Corral Hollow Road in Tracy at 12:03 a.m. Sunday, Tracy CHP
Officer Robert Rickman said.
Rickman said Anderson was behind the wheel of the 2002 Jeep SUV
and, after being stopped by officers, Anderson failed a field sobriety
test. A breathalyzer test was also conducted, but Rickman said the
results of that test could not be released.
Anderson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence

of alcohol, but Rickman said he was not booked into custody.

Instead, Anderson was released to a family member.
Rickman said that between preparations for Saturday night's storm

and light CHP staffing in the area, it was not unusual for a DUI
suspect to be released without going through the booking process.
For Anderson, the arrest marked the latest chapter in his

controversial tenure as Gustine's top cop. After being hired in
January 2007 to head the ten-man department, members of the
Gustine Police Officers' Association unanimously called for
Anderson's resignation with a no-confidence vote in July.
According to a Merced Sun-Star report last September, officers said

Anderson's attitude, dress and approach led to the vote.

GUSTINE -- City officials haven't yet decided whether Gustine Police

Chief Kris Anderson's Sunday drunken driving arrest will cost him
his job.
The city will launch its own investigation into the matter, after
which it will decide Anderson's future with the police department,
city officials said during a Monday afternoon news conference.
"Only after we determine all the facts of the situation will we be

able to determine how it will affect [Anderson's] ability to serve the
citizens of Gustine," Tom Ebersole, the city's attorney, said.
Ebersole said he couldn't offer any timeline for when the city's
determination might be made. In the meantime, Anderson will
remain on paid administrative leave, he said.
Sgt. Devon Stavrowsky is serving as acting chief.
Word of Anderson's arrest has spread quickly across this city of

5,200, its residents say.
"It's all over town," said Jennifer Rocha, a 23-year-old homemaker

who has lived in Gustine her whole life. "Everybody's talking about
it, and everybody's pretty disappointed. Nothing like this would
have ever happened with the last chief."
Anderson, 59, was arrested a few minutes after midnight on

Sunday morning on Interstate 580 near Corral Hollow Road, just
outside Tracy.
A CHP officer saw Anderson's Jeep sport utility vehicle weaving

erratically before pulling him over, CHP officer Robert Rickman said.
Anderson had attended the annual Gustine Chamber of Commerce

awards banquet Saturday night at the Al Goman Center. He was
about 10 miles away from his Livermore home when he was
arrested.
Though CHP officials confirm Anderson failed a field sobriety breath

test, they declined Monday to release both his specific blood alcohol
content and the CHP's arrest report.
Anderson was cited and released to a family member shortly after

his arrest -- a course of action that state-level CHP officials say was
appropriate.

Anderson didn't return phone calls Monday.

Former Gustine Police Chief Kris Anderson has pleaded no
contest to a DUI charge in San Joaquin County Superior
Court, said Sharon Morris, assistant court executive officer.
Following Anderson's plea, a judge sentenced him last month to a

three-year informal probation. He must enroll in a three-month
program for DUI offenders and pay a fine of $2,193. In addition, he
must show proof to the court that he paid his fine and enrolled in
the class by July 15, Morris said.
Morris said the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office

dismissed one DUI charge against him. He pleaded no contest to
one count of driving a vehicle with a blood-alcohol content above
0.08%.
Anderson, 59, was arrested by the California Highway Patrol on

Feb. 24 near Tracy when other drivers reported his Jeep was
weaving on Interstate 580.
Anderson stepped down from his position as Gustine's police chief

March 25.

A 28-year veteran of the Alameda County Sheriff's Department and

a Livermore resident, Anderson had a three-year contract as
Gustine police chief and had been in the post for about a year
before his arrest.

Published: 12:56 pm
EDMONTON - It is unclear whether an Edmonton police officer

charged with impaired driving in 2006 drove his vehicle, court
heard this morning.
Const. Brian Toner appeared in Provincial Court today on a charge

of impaired driving. But initial testimony from his superiors, staff

sergeants Kenneth Ogilvie and Blair Edl, indicated the arrest was
ordered without anyone seeing Toner drive the car.
On Feb. 24, 2006, Ogilvie said, he found Toner and four other
constables in the west division headquarters lunchroom. It was
shortly after 5:30 a.m., and the group was drinking alcohol and
eating snacks at the close of their shift. Of the group, Ogilvie said,
only Toner appeared drunk.
"It was very typical signs, slurred (speech) and kind of thick-
tongued."
Ogilvie ordered other officers to give Toner a ride home. Soon after,
he heard from other constables that Toner was "gone." He told
officers to find him, and Toner was soon found in his own car.
"I suspect that he drove to where he was found," Ogilvie said. "I
think it was a reasonable conclusion on my part ...
"I had seen him in recent minutes grossly impaired ... Subsequent
to that, he and his car disappear. Subsequent to that, he and his
car are found on the street."
Ogilvie said the situation made him angry because of the position
Toner put young officers in.
"No one was going to arrest him. They were simply going to drive
him home, and that's wrong," Ogilvie said. "I was angry at what he
had done, based on what we had tried to do for him. But mainly I
was angry about the position he put my men in."
Testimony continues this afternoon.

A city police officer alleged to have driven away from the west-end
station while drunk was found three blocks away asleep in his car,
court heard yesterday.
However, the defence lawyer for Const. Brian Toner is arguing the
25-year veteran officer's charter rights were breached when fellow
officers detained him and brought him back to the station, and will
be seeking an acquittal.
Toner, 49, is facing one count of impaired driving stemming from

an early morning incident on Feb. 24, 2006.
Const. Adam Woodburn testified he found Toner asleep in the

driver's seat of his Oldsmobile, which was running and parked along
the side of 165 Street near 97 Avenue. "He was seated behind the
steering wheel," said Woodburn, adding Toner was alone, upright
and facing forward and woke up when he opened the driver's side
door.
"He was intoxicated, in my opinion," said Woodburn, testifying

Toner smelled strongly of booze and was slurring.
He told court he had been asked to return Toner to the nearby

station by Staff Sgt. Kenneth Ogilvie and did so.
Under cross-examination, Woodburn agreed Toner was under his

control, but said he never felt like he was detaining him or making
any kind of arrest.
Const. Mike Taylor testified he had been asked by Ogilvie to drive

Toner home, but couldn't find him. After Woodburn located Toner
and returned him to the station, Taylor then put him in his car and
began taking him home.
A few minutes later he was told to bring Toner back and, upon his
return, Taylor said Ogilvie told him Toner had driven his car away
from the station and directed that he place Toner under arrest for
impaired driving.
Taylor testified Toner was "very intoxicated" and said he vomited in

the back of his cruiser, wet his pants and cut his forehead when he
fell while in a cell.

Ogilvie told court he had found Toner having drinks in the station
lunchroom after his shift and said he asked for him to be driven
home after noting he appeared drunk.
The Crown's case is over and Toner will either testify in his own
defence today or closing arguments will begin.

A city police officer found asleep in his car after allegedly driving
drunk from a west-end station after having drinks with colleagues
claims he was sick.
Testifying in his own defence yesterday at his impaired driving trial,

Const. Brian Toner, 49, told court he had been suffering from the
flu on Feb. 24, 2006, and had been vomiting, feeling dizzy and
upset in his stomach.
Despite being ill, the 25-year veteran admitted he went to the

station lunchroom to have "a few drinks" with fellow officers about
4 a.m. following their shift.
Toner testified he next remembers waking up to the sound of his

car door opening and seeing Const. Adam Woodburn, who told him
to get into his police cruiser.

He said he agreed and was taken back to the station and directed
to sit in the back of Const. Mike Taylor's car.
Court heard Taylor began driving Toner home, but was then
ordered to return him to the station where he was eventually
arrested for impaired driving.
Toner testified he felt like he was being "detained" in the two

officers' police cruisers. The crux of his defence is that his charter
rights were breached when the two officers did not advise him he
was under arrest and allow him a chance to speak to a lawyer.
In closing arguments, the Crown alleged Toner was not being

detained and said he could have left the unlocked police cars if he
had chosen to. The prosecutor also pointed out Toner was read his
rights and allowed to call a lawyer, which he declined, upon being
arrested.
Woodburn earlier testified he found Toner asleep in the driver's seat

of his Oldsmobile, which was running and parked along the side of
165 Street near 97 Avenue.
"He was seated behind the steering wheel," said Woodburn, adding
Toner was alone, upright and facing forward and woke up when he
opened the driver's side door.
"He was intoxicated, in my opinion," said Woodburn, testifying

Toner smelled strongly of booze and was slurring.
Taylor also testified Toner was "very intoxicated" and said he

vomited in the back of his cruiser, wet his pants and cut his
forehead when he fell while in a cell.
Staff Sgt. Kenneth Ogilvie told court he had asked for Toner to be
driven home after noting he appeared drunk and had him charged
when he learned he had driven off.
A date for the judge's decision will be set next month.

Cop guilty of driving drunk
Judge rejects flu argument

By TONY BLAIS, COURT BUREAU
A long-time Edmonton police officer was convicted of impaired

driving yesterday for driving drunk from the west-division station
after having drinks with colleagues.
Const. Brian Toner, 49, had testified he had been suffering from
the flu on the morning of Feb. 24, 2006, but provincial court Judge
Peter Johnston ruled the evidence of the 25-year veteran was "not
very convincing."
The out-of-town judge also rejected defence arguments that his

charter rights were breached during his arrest.
A date for sentencing is slated to be set next Thursday and defence

lawyer Robert Hladun told the judge he would be presenting
evidence for a curative discharge application.
Curative discharges are given to people with proven drinking

problems and result in the person being sentenced to probation
with a condition they seek treatment.
Johnston called it a "very novel" case due to the incident starting in

a police station and all the evidence coming from fellow officers,
some of whom were Toner's friends.
The judge also noted there was no evidence of how much booze
was consumed at the station's lunchroom that morning and said it
was "interesting" that none of the other four cop drinkers were
called to testify at the trial.
Court heard Staff Sgt. Kenneth Ogilvie had stopped at the table
where the men were drinking and, after noting Toner was "really
drunk," instructed him to be driven home.
However, when the junior officer assigned the task went to get
Toner, it was discovered he had disappeared.
Shortly after, another officer found Toner asleep in the driver's seat
of his Oldsmobile, which was running and parked along the side of

165 Street near 97 Avenue.
That officer returned the slurring and booze-smelling Toner to the

station, where he was placed in the locked back seat of the junior
constable's cruiser.
Toner was then being driven home when an upset Ogilvie learned
what had happened and ordered Toner to be returned again to the
station to be charged with impaired driving.
Court also heard Toner vomited in the back of the junior officer's
cruiser and wet his pants and cut his forehead when he fell while in
a holding cell at the station.
Testifying in his own defence, Toner told court he had been

suffering from the flu throughout his shift and had been vomiting,
feeling dizzy and upset in his stomach.
Despite being ill, he admitted he went to the station lunchroom to

have "a few drinks" with fellow officers in his squad about 4 a.m.
following their shift.
Toner testified he next remembers waking up to the sound of his

car door opening and seeing a fellow officer who told him to get into
his police cruiser.
He claimed he felt like he was being "detained" in the two cruisers

and his charter rights were breached when the two officers did not
advise him he was under arrest and allow him an opportunity to
speak to a lawyer.

PHOENIX -- A seven month investigation by the Maricopa County

Sheriff's Office netted a massive methamphetamine bust including
assault weapons, cash, and the arrest of a D.O.C. officer.
According to the Sheriff's office, detectives followed a car that was

under surveillance and made a routine traffic stop near 83rd avenue
and Indian School. In a search of the vehicle detectives found 4

pounds of pure methamphetamine inside a hidden compartment.
The two people inside the vehicle were taken into custody by the
detectives. The driver of the vehicle, Domingo Ruiz, was
determined to be an illegal alien by deputies.
The Sheriff's investigation started when an anonymous tip came in

saying that illegal drug activity was happening in the area. A total
of 5 houses in the west Valley were put under surveillance for the
investigation.
Search warrants were executed on Tuesday at each of the houses.

One house contained an additional 16 pounds of meth. Also seized
from the houses were weapons including AK-47s, shotguns and
pistols, scales, over $200,000 in cash and six vehicles. According to
detectives two of the vehicles were customized so that they could
hide drugs in hidden compartments.
The estimated street value of the methamphetamine seized during

the traffic stop and the house searches is about $2 million.
Detectives say law enforcement in other states also confiscated 35
pounds of meth, 12 pounds of cocaine and another $200,000 in
cash allegedly connected to the Ruiz family. They believe that the
drugs were run through Nogales and Tucson before being distibuted
to other states via Maricopa County.
In all six people have been taken into custody, all relatives of
Domingo Ruiz. One of the arrested relatives, the son of
Domingo named Noe Ruiz, is a Department of Corrections
officer at the Lewis Prison Complex in Buckeye, Arizona.

RALEIGH, N.C.
A Highway Patrol trooper accused of driving while impaired also

faces charges for kicking a Raleigh police officer in the shin,
Steven Bradley, 38, of Apex, was driving his personal vehicle when

he got distracted, ran a stop sign and drove into a pond Tuesday
night in Raleigh. Police said the car left 26 feet of skid marks.
His 7-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son were in car but not
injured.
The police report lists Bradley's blood-alcohol level at 0.11. The

legal limit is 0.08.
Bradley is facing several charges including DWI, carrying a

concealed weapon while under the influence and resisting arrest. He
also is accused of walking away from officers and failing to put his
hands behind his back when ordered.
"We expect better from our troopers, they know better," said patrol
spokesman Lt. Everett Clendenin. "Our troopers are expected to
obey the law, as well as enforce it. And when they find themselves
on the other side ... they're putting their careers in jeopardy."
Bradley has been placed on paid investigative leave, Clendenin said.
A home phone number for Bradley was unlisted. A worker at the

Wake County jail said information about the case wasn't in the
computer system, which may be due to a magistrate allowing
Bradley released on a written promise to appear in court Jan. 30.

Former state trooper pleads guilty to DWI

http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1080356.html
Location: By Sarah Ovaska, Staff Writer
Posts: 31403 RALEIGH - A former state trooper who drove his car into a pond
and scuffled with several police officers pleaded guilty this morning
to driving while impaired.
Steven Bradley, 38, received a two-year probationary sentence

from Wake District Court Judge Kristin Ruth after pleading guilty to
misdemeanor charges of DWI and assaulting law enforcement
officers in connection with the Dec. 4 incident.
Wake Assistant District Attorney Patrick Latour agreed to drop a

misdemeanor child abuse charge in exchange for Bradley’s plea.
Bradley’s 18- and 7-year-old children were in the 2006

Chrysler at the time of the accident. Bradley, who had been
with the patrol for 16 years, resigned shortly after the
incident.
Raleigh police Officer D.V. Naumuk told Ruth that when he arrived
at the pond near the intersection of Jones Franklin Road and
Macedonia Road in West Raleigh, Bradley’s eyes were bloodshot
and he appeared intoxicated.
Police think Bradley ran a stop sign and skidded before running off
the road. The car continued through woods, running into the pond
more than 100 feet off the roadway.
Bradley ignored Naumuk and walked away from him several times,
until Naumuk attempted to arrest him. In a scuffle, one Raleigh
police officer broke his hand when he pulled Bradley to the ground
and Bradley kicked another, Naumuk said.
When Bradley was arrested and brought to the Wake County jail, he
was given a breath alcohol test. He blew a 0.14 two and a half
hours after the crash. The legal limit in North Carolina is 0.08.
He attended an in-patient treatment center and was ordered by

Ruth to perform 24 hours of community service, as well as pay
$420 in court costs and fines. Ruth also ordered that he lose his
driver’s license until the Department of Motor Vehicles reinstates it.
After the hearing, Bradley apologized for his conduct.
“I just want to apologize to the arresting officers,” he said. “I’m

going to move on with my life.”
Prior to the arrest, Bradley was had been in the public eye in spring
2006 when he and his wife, Lisa, participated in an Oprah Winfrey

show on debt. According to the 'Oprah' Web site, the Bradleys were
$170,000 in debt before undergoing a successful money makeover.

State Trooper Charged With DWI, Assault on Officer

Raleigh, N.C. — A state trooper, who was once featured on "The
Oprah Winfrey Show" to discuss financial matters, faces driving
while impaired and assault charges after his personal car drove into
a pond Tuesday night when he was off duty.
Authorities said Trooper Steven Ellis Bradley, 38, was traveling

south on Jones Franklin Road when he crashed his personal vehicle
near the intersection of Jones Franklin and Macedonia roads shortly
before 11 p.m.
According to the police report, Bradley "became distracted and

diverted his attention" from where he was going. When Bradley
turned back around, his vehicle crossed into the intersection,

passing a stop sign, the report said.
The report said Bradley applied the brakes, skidding 26 feet before
the 2006 Chrysler came to rest in the pond 178 feet from the
roadway.
Investigators said Bradley had his son, Adrian, 18, and daughter,
Madison, 7, in the car with him.
Police said Bradley became combative, kicking Raleigh police Officer

K.S. Lablanc in her shins. He also walked away from an
investigative officer and failed to put his hands behind his back
when asked. An officer's hand was broken while trying to detain
Bradley, police said.
An alcohol breath test requested by Bradley at 1:21 a.m., before

his arrest, registered .14, according to court documents. His blood
alcohol content at 3:08 a.m., after he was arrested was 0.11. North
Carolina's legal driving limit is 0.08.
In addition to DWI, Bradley also faces other charges, including

failing to stop at the stop sign, child abuse, assault on a law
enforcement officer and carrying a concealed weapon.
“Troopers know when you engage in these kinds of activities and

there are charges that are filed against you, such as these charges,
there are serious consequences,” Lt. Everett Clendenin, of the state
Highway Patrol said.
Bradley and his family were once profiled on "The Oprah Winfrey
Show." The Jan. 27, 2007, episode, "This Is the Year to Get Richer,"
dealt with Bradley and his family trying to get out of debt. On the
program, Bradley admitted his family was drowning in bills and was
$170,000 in debt.
Bradley's wife, Lisa, said their life is back on track. She told WRAL
that her husband did not resist arrest, and she claimed police were
overly aggressive with him. She also said he was at a birthday
party for his mother and admitted he had too much to drink, but
maintains he did not lose control.
Lisa Bradley said that while she is worried her husband will lose his
job, she is more concerned over police reports wrongly damaging
his character.
Bradley, who has been a trooper since 1991, works in the special
operations division in Raleigh. He is also a member of the Joint
Terrorism Task Force, which includes members of several law
enforcement agencies and federal and state officials. He was placed
on paid, investigative leave after the accident.
His first court appearance is set for Jan. 30.
Clendenin said the incident was "out of character" for Bradley.

"It's surprising and disappointing that these allegations and charges

have been filed," Clendenin said.
The arrest is the latest black eye for the state Highway Patrol,
several of whose troopers have found themselves on the wrong side
of the law in recent months. Trooper Scott Harrison was dismissed
in August after being accused of targeting young women in
overnight traffic stops.
In September, Trooper Michael A. Steele resigned amid allegations

that he forced two women he pulled over on separate occasions to
kiss him. Days later, Sgt. Charles Jones was fired after allegations
surfaced of dog abuse during a training exercise.
Gov. Mike Easley has called for a review of the hiring and screening
procedures of the Highway Patrol.

Trooper Charged With DWI Says He Knows His Career's Over


Location:
Posts: 31403 Raleigh, N.C. — A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper charged
with DWI after he drove his car into a pond says knows his career is
over, his lawyer said Thursday.
"He knows he has no future with the Highway Patrol," Raleigh

attorney Russell Dement said.
Trooper Steven Ellis Bradley, 38, was charged Tuesday night with
driving while impaired and assault on a law enforcement officer
after he crossed into the intersection of Jones Franklin and
Macedonia roads, applied the brakes and skidded before the car
stopped in a pond 178 feet from the roadway.
His two children, ages 7 and 18, were in the car with him. They
were not injured. Bradley suffered a wound to his head.
Dement said Bradley is embarrassed and sad that he has brought

disrespect upon the Highway Patrol and accepts full responsibility
for the accident.

"He accepts responsibility for his actions. He doesn't blame anyone

else," Dement said, including Raleigh police.
Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Everett Clendenin said Thursday

Bradley has not been terminated and that an internal investigation
into the matter continues.
In the past two years, five troopers, including Bradley, have been
charged with DWI. All but Bradley have either resigned or been
terminated, Clendenin said.
Bradley requested an alcohol breath test at 1:21 a.m., before his

arrest, and it registered 0.14, according to court documents. His
blood alcohol content at 3:08 a.m., after his arrest, was 0.11. North
Carolina's legal driving limit is 0.08.
Raleigh police said Bradley became combative, kicking Officer K.S.

Lablanc in her shins, and that he walked away from an investigative
officer and failed to put his hands behind his back when asked.
An officer's hand was broken while trying to detain Bradley, police

said.
Dement said his client used "bad judgment" and "had no intention
of harming anyone or being unduly difficult to deal with." He was
concerned for his children and wife, Lisa Bradley.
She was not in the car at the time of the accident, but according to
911 calls released Thursday, she arrived at the scene and jumped
in the pond to try to get her husband out of the vehicle.
"They're still in the water," Bradley's sister, whose name was edited
out of the call, told the 911 operator. "His wife has gotten in trying
to pull him out, but can't get him out."
In the call, the woman also says water is coming into the car and
that her brother is hysterical.
"They did not want us to call you, but I think it's getting critical,"
she said.
In a second call to Lisa Bradley's cell phone, a man can be heard

sobbing in the background. When the operator asks if anyone has
been hurt, he can be heard saying, "Oh man."
In addition to DWI and assault, Bradley also faces other charges,

including failing to stop at a stop sign, child abuse and carrying a
concealed weapon.
Bradley, who has been a trooper since 1991, works in the special
operations division in Raleigh. He is also a member of the Joint
Terrorism Task Force, which includes members of several law
enforcement agencies and federal and state officials. He was placed
on paid, investigative leave after the accident.

Former state trooper pleads guilty in DWI case

Raleigh, N.C. — A former state trooper who was arrested after he
drove his personal vehicle into a pond while his children were inside
pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving while impaired and assault on
a law enforcement officer.
A 16-year veteran of the North Carolina Highway Patrol, Steven

Ellis Bradley was sentenced to 24 months of supervised probation, a
12-month suspended sentence and $420 in court costs and fines.

Bradley was also given a suspended 60-day jail sentence, 12

months' probation and 24 hours of community service on the
assault charge.
Judge Kristin Ruth also sentenced Bradley to a 24-day active jail

sentence on the DWI conviction. However, he received credit for
time served because he completed 24 days of inpatient alcohol
treatment.
Ruth said Bradley's 7-year-old daughter in the back seat of the car
was an aggravating circumstance that resulted in a higher sentence.
"I'm just extremely thankful that my children weren't hurt from my

seriously poor judgment on that evening," a tearful Bradley said
outside court.
He also apologized to the arresting Raleigh police officers he struck

that night, Dec. 4. Authorities said he became combative, kicked an
officer and walked away. One officer's hand was broken and
another received a large bruise.
"I think if we would have met on different terms, they would have
had a different opinion of me," Bradley said. "I apologize to my
former agency and to the courts."
Bradley, 38, resigned from the Highway Patrol in December after

the accident near the intersection of Jones Franklin and Macedonia
roads in Raleigh.
According to the police report, Bradley "became distracted and

diverted his attention" from where he was going. When Bradley
turned back around, his vehicle crossed into the intersection,
passing a stop sign.
When he applied his brakes, his car skidded 26 feet before the 2006
Chrysler came to rest in the pond, 178 feet from the roadway.
Authorities said in court Wednesday that Bradley registered 0.14 on

an alcohol breath test more than two hours after the crash.
Defense attorney Russell Dement said his client is "extremely

remorseful" and that the events of that night were "out of
character" for him.
The alcohol contributed to Bradley's poor demeanor and lack of

judgment, Dement said.
Assistant District Attorney Patrick Latour said Wednesday that law

enforcement officers have an obligation to abide by law like
everyone else.
"They should know the law," he said. "And if they don't, even if
they know it and they violate it, they need to be held accountable
for violating the law like any other citizen would."

Other charges against Bradley, including failing to stop at a stop

sign, misdemeanor child abuse and carrying a concealed weapon,
were dropped as part of the plea deal.
Bradley was assigned to the Highway Patrol's Special Operations

Division in Raleigh. He was also a member of the Joint Terrorism
Task Force, which includes officers from several law enforcement
agencies and federal and state officials.

RALEIGH - A former state trooper who drove his car into a pond
and scuffled with several police officers pleaded guilty Wednesday
to charges of assault and driving under the influence.
Steven Bradley, 38, of Apex, received a two-year probation

sentence from Wake District Court Judge Kristin Ruth after pleading
guilty to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and
assaulting law enforcement officers in connection with the Dec. 4
incident.
Patrick Latour, a Wake assistant district attorney, agreed to drop a

misdemeanor child abuse charge in exchange for Bradley's plea.
Bradley's children, ages 18 and 7, were in the 2006 Chrysler at the
time of the accident but were not seriously injured.
Bradley, who had been with the patrol for 16 years, resigned
shortly after the incident.
Raleigh police Officer D.V. Naumuk told Ruth that when he arrived
at the West Raleigh pond near Jones Franklin and Macedonia roads,
Bradley had bloodshot eyes and appeared intoxicated. Police think
Bradley ran a stop sign, his car skidding before running off the road
and continuing through woods before plunging into the pond, more
than 100 feet off the road.
At the accident scene, Bradley ignored Naumuk and walked away

from him several times, until Naumuk tried to arrest him. In a
scuffle with several other officers, one Raleigh police officer broke
his hand when he pulled Bradley to the ground, and Bradley kicked
another officer, Naumuk said.
"His behavior throughout the incident was consistently belligerent,"

Naumuk said.
When Bradley was arrested and brought to the Wake County jail, he
was given a breath alcohol test in which he registered a 0.14 more
than two hours after the crash, according to court testimony. The
legal limit in North Carolina is 0.08.
He attended an inpatient treatment center for 24 days and was

ordered by Ruth to perform 24 hours of community service and pay
$420 in court costs and fines. Ruth also ordered him not to drive
until the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles reinstates his driver's

license.
After the hearing, Bradley apologized for his conduct.
"I just want to apologize to the arresting officers," he said. "I'm

going to move on with my life."
Before his arrest, Bradley appeared with his wife, Lisa, on an Oprah
Winfrey show about debt in the spring of 2006. According to the
"Oprah" Web site, the Bradleys were $170,000 in debt before
undergoing a successful money makeover.
Bradley's plea Wednesday came the day after Michael Steele, a

former trooper in Orange County, was sentenced to as much as
nine years in prison for targeting and fondling female Hispanic
drivers.

Tucson cop suspect in extreme DUI case

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 01.31.2008
A Tucson Police Department sergeant has been placed on paid leave

after being arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of extreme DUI,
officials said Wednesday.
Sgt. Robert Lund, a 21-year department veteran, was arrested on

the East Side after a citizen called 911 to report that a motorist had
struck a curb near South Harrison Road and East 22nd Street and

was possibly impaired, said police Chief of Staff Capt. Clayton Kidd.
When officers arrived around 11:30 p.m., they found a 1999 Ford
Taurus that is owned by the city of Tucson in a parking lot on the
corner.
It is not clear whether Lund, 44, was driving in the parking lot or
was parked, but he was in control of the vehicle, meaning he was in
the driver's seat with the keys in the ignition, Kidd said.
Officers noted signs and symptoms of intoxication and began a DUI
investigation, which resulted in Lund's arrest.
He was cited and released, which is common practice on a

misdemeanor charge, Kidd said.
Lund's blood alcohol level was not released, but it was above 0.15;
the legal limit is 0.08.
Kidd would not say whether Lund was on duty at the time, saying
the internal investigation would determine that.
He has been placed on paid leave while both criminal and internal
investigations are being conducted.
He is a supervisor of the Community Response Team in Operations

Division East.
"We have 1,525 full-time employees, and the actions of one person
should not reflect negatively on everyone else," Kidd said. "He was
treated like any other citizen would be."
Lund's attorney, Mike Storie, said his client "deserves all of the
presumptions any ordinary citizen enjoys."
"I think that it's a shame that any time a police officer is arrested,
it's front-page news for making perhaps the same mistakes that
any ordinary citizen would make that would go unnoticed," he said.
"Too often people forget that police officers are humans, too, and
suffer through the same human weaknesses we all do."
According to police internal affairs data obtained by the Arizona

Daily Star, Lund has been investigated at least twice since 1996.
The first incident involved an allegation of "inappropriate actions"

while on duty on Nov. 20, 1996, when he was assigned to
Operations Division East.
The allegation was sustained, and the penalty was a suspension.
Lund was given a major written reprimand after he was

investigated for allegedly violating procedure during an operation
on Nov. 4, 2003.
No further information was available on those cases Wednesday

evening.

21 year veteran Sergeant Robert Lund, 22 year veteran officer

David Haggerty, Investigators say both men have been tangled in a
web of misconduct ever since Sgt. Lund was pulled over January
29th and arrested for drunk driving.
"Sgt. Lund and Officer Haggerty had met earlier during the shift and
had lunch together. It was during that time that they both
consumed alcohol on duty," Tucson Police Lieutenant Claudette
Gross explained.
In the Internal Affairs discipline summary report, while being

interviewed it reads, "Officer Haggerty admitted that he drank
alcohol and bet on the dogs."
Later that night, the report states Officer Haggerty got a call from
Sgt. Lund.
Gross said, "Sgt. Lund had called officer Haggerty and asked him to
pick him up and give him a ride. He thought he was having car

trouble."
In the meantime, Tucson Police officers pulled Sgt. Lund over near
the intersection of 22nd and Harrison for suspicion of drunk driving.
During the DUI investigation we're told Officer Haggerty showed up,
got in a heated discussion with the officers on scene, at which point
Haggerty was asked to leave.
The report says Officer Haggerty was "...later contacted by cell

phone and told to return to the scene to be interviewed by internal
affairs. Officer Haggerty never did return to the scene."
"As the office of professional standards began to investigate that

and work the circumstances backwards it was learned that officer
Haggerty was with Sgt. Lund."
When the investigation was complete both men were given notice
and a date set for the review committee hearing.
Gross told KOLD, "Having been served with a notice of intent to

terminate, they were clearly aware the chain of command had
recommended both be terminated from the police department."
But before the committee could meet, both Sgt. Lund and Officer
Haggerty retired.
We're told Sgt. Lund is still facing charges from his January 29th
arrest for extreme DUI.
We did contact Officer Haggerty, he declined comment.

Two Tucson police officers accused of drinking on the job retired the
day before a meeting about whether they would be fired, according
to internal affairs documents the department released Monday.
Sgt. Robert Lund, 44, and Officer David Haggerty, 46 - both 21-
year veterans - retired March 18, the documents said. Both were
assigned to an East Side plainclothes special-response squad, police
officials said.
They had received letters indicating the department intended to fire

them, TPD spokeswoman Lt. Claudette Gross said. Instead of
testifying at a meeting March 19 that would finalize the decision,
they requested retirement.
"They were given the opportunity to present their side," Gross said.
The retirements prevent the officers from appealing the
investigation's findings, she said.
The department's decision stemmed from Lund's Jan. 29 arrest on

an extreme DUI charge, Gross said. When officers began
investigating, they learned Haggerty had been drinking with Lund
earlier in the day, she said. The two were caught on videotape, the
documents say, but the department blacked out the location.
The documents said Lund drank beer at the beginning of his shift
and drank and bet on dog races with Haggerty that evening. Lund
admitted drinking a bottle of tequila in his unmarked police car, the
documents said.
At 11:30 p.m. that day, East Side patrol officers responded to a call
about a possible drunken driver near South Harrison Road and East
22nd Street, Citizen archives show. The officers found Lund in an
undercover police car parked near the intersection. Two breath
tests registered his blood-alcohol content at 0.202 percent and
0.183 percent, the documents said.
In 2003, Lund received a written reprimand for violating operational
procedures, according to a Citizen database of internal affairs
investigations. If convicted of extreme DUI - having a BAC above
0.15 percent - Lund could be sentenced to at least 30 days in jail,
fined at least $2,500 and have his driver's license revoked.

An internal investigation within the Tucson Police Department has
resulted in the sudden retirement of two officers.
Back on January 29, Sgt. Robert Lund was arrested near Harrison
Rd. and 22nd St. for extreme DUI. Investigators say Lund was in an
unmarked police car.
According to Internal Affairs, Lund and another officer, David

Haggerty, were drinking together on the day of Lund's arrest. Both
were on-duty in plain clothes.
Sgt. Lund retired on March 18. Internal affairs documents show the
21 year veteran blew more than two times the legal limit after
drinking beer and tequila and betting on dog races while on duty.
Lt. Claudette Gross says, "Sgt. Lund was driving a city vehicle and
when he was arrested for DUI. As a result of their actions, it was
recommended he be terminated."
Lund is still facing misdemeanor charges for extreme DUI. Natasha

Wrae represents him. "It's pretty evident that he's very regretful of
his actions, obviously remorseful when you have to deal with
something like this, and all of the people that worked with you held

you in a position of confidence."
Police officials confirm that veteran officer David Haggerty also

retired from the Tucson Police Department last week. He worked
out of the east side substation in the Bravo unit along with Robert
Lund.
Internal Affairs reports show Haggerty was with Lund the day in
question and also admitted to drinking and betting on dogs.
In an effort to be balanced, we contacted Haggerty. He declined an

interview.
According to the internal affairs report, both officers violated seven

of the Tucson police department general orders.
Since the men retired the case is closed.
Arizona Post who issues police certification will be given the

complete report.

A Tucson police sergeant arrested on an extreme DUI charge has

retired from the department after an internal investigation
determined he was drinking and gambling on duty.
Sgt. Robert Lund, a 21-year veteran, retired March 18 along with

Officer David Haggerty, a 22-year vet, who admitted to drinking
and gambling with Lund on the clock, police said Monday.
Their retirements stem from an incident Jan. 29 when a citizen
called 911 around 11:30 p.m. to report a motorist's car had struck
a curb near South Harrison Road and East 22nd Street and that the
driver was possibly impaired.
Officers found a 1999 Ford Taurus — an unmarked city police car —

in a parking lot on the corner, police said at the time.
A DUI investigation began when officers noted signs and symptoms

of intoxication. A breath test on Lund, 44, yielded results of .202
and .183 — the legal limit is 0.08, causing him to be arrested.
According to documents released Monday, an internal affairs

investigation determined Lund was drinking beer at the beginning
of his shift. Witness statements indicated Lund was seen drinking
alcohol and gambling on dog races later in the day.
He also admitted to drinking a bottle of tequila while on duty in his

unmarked police car, the documents say.
"Sergeant Lund has no memory regarding his actions later in the

shift," the documents state. "Sergeant Lund's attendance is
confirmed by video cameras at the business."
After the incident, the department's investigation found that

Haggerty was also drinking with Lund.
During an interview, Haggerty said Lund invited him to eat, so he

had a beer, cheeseburger and a Coke, the documents say. He said
he had nothing further to drink that day and only saw Lund for a
brief period of time.
Haggerty, 46, said that he later got a call from Lund saying he was
having car trouble.
He went to where Lund was stopped by patrol officers, began

yelling at the officers conducting the investigation and was asked to
leave, documents say.

Haggerty later requested another interview with internal affairs

during which time he said he was "not as forthcoming as he should
have been," the documents say. He admitted to drinking alcohol
and betting on dogs with Lund and said he did not have only one
beer as he stated in the first interview.
Both Haggerty and Lund were served with notices of intent to

terminate and were to go before the Administrative Termination
Review Committee March 19, where they could have given their
sides of the story and offered evidence. But instead they submitted
their retirement papers the day before, said Lt. Claudette Gross, a
department spokeswoman.
"Neither one of them are proud of their actions, but once again, we
have to remember that these police officers are human and make
human mistakes," said Mike Storie, an attorney who was
representing Lund and Haggerty while they were still with the
department.
Lund was the supervisor of the Community Response Team in

Operations Division East. Haggerty also was assigned to the CRT.
Both were plainclothes men and both used unmarked cars.
Lund had received a number of reprimands from the department

during his career, according to agency documents.
In 1996, he received a major-violation written reprimand after

using a mobile data terminal in his patrol car for private business,
records show. The document goes on to say that he had received
reprimands in 1994 and 1989.
"Your continued disregard for departmental rules and procedures is

disturbing," the document said. "Your unprofessional conduct
results in a negative effect on your work and on the work of others.
Your continued disregard for rules and procedures brings your
character and professionalism into question."
In the 1989 incident, Lund stopped a vehicle occupied by two

women but allowed the contact to become "too personal,"
documents state. It says that the following day, he left his area of
assignment to visit one of the women for personal reasons.
Performance reviews over the years for Lund stated that he met or
exceeded standards.

Plainclothes vet says drinking on duty part of job

A Tucson police officer who retired after an investigation revealed

that he and his sergeant were drinking on the job, said he was
acting under the orders of his supervisor.
Officer David Haggerty, a 22-year veteran of the Tucson Police

Department, defended his actions on the evening of Jan. 29, which
led to the department's serving him with a notice that he was going
to be terminated.
He, along with Sgt. Robert Lund, a 21-year veteran, retired March
18 — a day before they were to go before a police termination
review committee.
"I don't want to be painted as two officers in plain clothes who were
neglecting their duties and running wild, because that's not the
case," he said. "Had we developed a lead and made an arrest that
night, we would be receiving commendations, not termination."
Haggerty on Tuesday gave the following account of what occurred

that evening.

At about 4:30 p.m., he received a call from Lund who invited him to
Tucson McGraw's Cantina, 4110 S. Houghton Road, to eat.
"I got the impression that we were there looking for a stop-and-
arrest suspect," Haggerty said. "I drank a beer, but that's part of a
plainclothes assignment."
Later on, the pair went to Jeff's Pub, 112 S. Camino Seco — a
business they frequented in the past to develop leads, Haggerty
said.
While there, Haggerty said he was in a back room where people

were betting on dog races and he did the same in an effort to blend
in.
Haggerty and Lund parted ways at about 10:15 p.m. and Haggerty
did not hear from Lund again until he called and said he was having
car trouble.
Tucson police were notified at about 11:30 p.m. that a motorist had
struck a curb near South Harrison Road and East 22nd Street and
was possibly intoxicated.
When Haggerty arrived, he said he found patrol officers around

Lund. Tucson police say that Haggerty began yelling at officers and
was sent away, but he denied that.
Lund was subsequently arrested on an extreme DUI charge.
After the arrest, an internal investigation began and Haggerty was

interviewed. Haggerty told investigators he had one beer but drank
nothing further the rest of the night.
He requested another interview in which he admitted to betting on
dog racing with Lund and said that he had more than one beer as
stated previously.
Haggerty said he requested the second interview because he

realized later that it was possible he'd ordered another beer while at
Jeff's Pub, but he couldn't recall if he consumed it and wanted to
clarify that.
When Haggerty received the intent to terminate, he said he was

advised by a union representative that he had "no chance of going
before the committee and winning the hearing," he said.
If he did lose, the next step would be to appeal, but that wouldn't
occur until four or five months later.
"I wouldn't have any income during that time and it's hard to
support your family, make a mortgage payment and car payment
on no income," Haggerty said. "I didn't retire because I thought the
cards were stacked against us."
Haggerty said that at no time did he feel he was intoxicated and
that he was simply following the orders of his supervisor, which was
to generate leads at bars as they had done in the past without any

problems.
The Tucson Police Department said the gambling and drinking that
occurred that night were not work-related.
Department policy states that no plainclothes officer shall drink or
purchase alcoholic beverages while on duty except when necessary
in the performance of their duty and then only with the approval of
their supervisor. The same policy applies to gambling on duty.
"Mr. Haggerty is now offering a third story that is in conflict with

the other two he's provided," said Assistant Chief John Leavitt. "The
conduct exhibited by both officers in any of the three accounts is
unacceptable for members of any law enforcement agency in
Arizona and they both knew that."
Leavitt went on to say that neither Haggerty or Lund, who were
assigned to the Community Response Team, had an undercover
assignment and that frequenting bars in that capacity was going
against policy.
"It may have been standard for Haggerty and Lund, but not for
those hardworking officers in their unit or in other units across the
department — they follow the rules and abide by the law," Leavitt
said.
"I wasn't a bad cop," Haggerty said. "Because Lund apparently had
too much to drink, I feel I was caught under the Lund umbrella and
that's what frustrates me."

A Tucson police sergeant who retired two months ago after being
arrested on suspicion of drinking on the job pleaded guilty Monday
to driving under the influence and was placed on 18 months
probation.
Robert Lund will also have to serve 48 hours in jail, complete 24

hours of community service and attend a Mothers Against Drunk
Driving victim impact panel, said Tucson city prosecutor Laura
Brynwood.
If Lund, 44, fails to comply with all of the rules of his

probation, he could have to serve 58 days of a suspended jail
sentence imposed by City Magistrate Nikki Chayet, Brynwood said.
Lund's difficulties began Jan. 29 when someone called 911 around
11:30 p.m. to report a possible drunken driver near South Harrison
Road and East 22nd Street.
Officers found a 1999 Ford Taurus — an unmarked city police car —

in a parking lot on the corner, police said at the time.
Lund was asked to give breath samples because officers believed he

was intoxicated. The tests yielded blood-alcohol levels of 0.202 and
0.183, far exceeding the DUI level of 0.08.
He was arrested on a variety of DUI charges, including extreme DUI.
An internal-affairs investigation determined Lund drank beer at the

beginning of his shift and later on in the day while he was gambling
on dog races.
Lund also admitted to drinking a bottle of tequila while on duty in

his unmarked police car, the documents say.
At the time of his arrest, Lund headed up a Community Response

Team, which consists of seven officers who work mostly in
plainclothes and deal with neighborhood problems like prostitution,
drugs and graffiti.
During their investigation, authorities also learned one of Lund's

subordinates, Officer David Haggerty, had been drinking with Lund
that day.
Haggerty and Lund resigned from the department March 18, one
day before they were to go before a police termination-review
committee.

In an interview one week later, Haggerty told the Arizona Daily Star
he joined Lund at Tucson McGraw's Cantina and Jeff's Pub at Lund's
request.
He was under the impression they were looking for a suspect and
trying to develop leads, Haggerty said. He drank one beer and
gambled in an effort to blend in, he said.
He and Lund parted ways more than an hour before the 911 call,
Haggerty said.
"I don't want to be painted as two officers in plainclothes who were
neglecting their duties and running wild, because that's not the
case," he said during the March interview. "Had we developed a
lead and made an arrest that night, we would be receiving
commendations, not termination."
Haggerty said that at no time did he feel he was intoxicated and

that he was simply following the orders of his supervisor, which was
to generate leads at bars as they had done in the past without any
problems.
The Tucson Police Department said the gambling and drinking that
occurred that night were not work-related.
Department policy states that no plainclothes officer shall drink or

purchase alcoholic beverages while on duty except when necessary
in the performance of duty and then only with the approval of a
supervisor. The same policy applies to gambling on duty.
Assistant Chief John Leavitt said neither Haggerty nor Lund had an
undercover assignment and that frequenting bars in that capacity
was going against policy.
Both Haggerty and Lund had worked for the department more than
20 years.

(Wall Township - WABC, January 31, 2007) - He was supposed to
become Wall Township's next police chief. But just days before he
began his new job, Captain Bernard Sullivan had his promotion
pulled.
That's because he was arrested for driving under the influence.
New Jersey reporter Toni Yates has details on the latest New Jersey
officer to have a run-in with the law.
We're talking about an officer who is well known and apparently

very well liked. This run-in, however, may have cost him a big
promotion.

"It's just a tragedy for the town," one resident said. "He's a great
guy. My friend is best friends with him, and said he's a great guy."
According to police reports, a Wall Township officer says he

observed Sullivan run a red light a nearly cause an accident early
Saturday morning. The officer claims he stopped Sullivan a few
blocks later after he says the captain drove into the opposite lanes
of traffic. He was arrested for driving while intoxicated.
"Our obligation here is to the public," Wall Township Administrator

Joseph Verruni said. "Our police department did their job."
Captain Sullivan joined the Wall Township Police Department in

1984. Township leaders were impressed enough with his time on
the force to promote him to Chief. Today, Wednesday, is the former
chief's last day. Sullivan was set to take over Thursday.
With the charges, that decision was nullified.
"He was a 23-year police veteran," Verruni said. "He has performed
extremely well for the police department, and in this instance, he
was placed under arrest."
Captain Sullivan will face the charges in a Monmouth County

courthouse. Depending on the outcome of that, the township will
decide his future with the police department.

Posts: 2330
Stop
MANASQUAN — The borough police officer who pulled over Wall

police Capt. Bernard Sullivan but let him go before he was
arrested for driving while intoxicated about 15 minutes later in Wall,
did nothing wrong, according to his patrol supervisor.
"Based on the officer's experience and training, it was his best

judgment at the time that (Sullivan) was OK to drive,'' said
Manasquan police Capt. Elliott A. Correia, who is the department's
patrol commander.
As far as the Manasquan department is concerned, the matter is

closed at their end.

At 12:20 a.m. Jan. 27, Sullivan was stopped on Route 71 near

Crescent Place in Sea Girt for speeding, according to Manasquan
police, who released a video of the motor-vehicle stop Friday. The
footage had been requested by the Asbury Park Press under the
state's Open Public Records Act.
The video, recorded by a dashboard-mounted camera in a patrol

car, shows Manasquan Patrolman Thomas Morton radioing to his
dispatcher Sullivan's license plate number, steps out of his patrol
car and approaches the driver's side window of Sullivan's vehicle.
There is a brief exchange between the two men lasting about 15
seconds. Sullivan is never seen in the video, and there is no audible
dialogue between the men.
Morton then returns to his patrol car, and Sullivan drives off,
headed north on Route 71.
Sullivan was pulled over by a subordinate officer from his own

department several minutes later while on Belmar Boulevard in
Wall, where Sullivan lives. The arresting officer said he saw Sullivan
run a red light at the intersection of 16th Avenue and Route 35 and
proceed across four lanes of Route 35 onto Belmar Boulevard,
nearly causing a collision with another vehicle on Route 35.
The results of Sullivan's two Breathalyzer tests taken at Wall police

headquarters resulted in blood-alcohol level readings of 0.19 and
0.20, Wall police Capt. David Morris said Friday. The legal threshold
in New Jersey is 0.08. Sullivan was charged with driving while
intoxicated, reckless driving, disregard of marked lanes and failure
to observe traffic, according to the police report of the incident.

Posts: 31403 Today's Asbury Park Press has more details about the ruling by Red
Bank Municipal Court Judge William Himelman in a case in which a
Wall Township police captain was found not guilty yesterday of
drunken driving.
The case had been moved to Red Bank from Wall to avoid
appearances of conflict of interest.

Himelman found Capt. Bernard Sullivan not guilty despite testimony

from the arresting officer, Patrolman Todd Verrecchia, that Sullivan
had run a red light, nearly hit another car, was driving on the
wrong side of the road and gave a Breathalyzer test that showed
his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.
Afterward, breaking a gag order imposed on him by his superiors,

Verrecchia said the verdict was "the most disgusting and disturbing
possible outcome" for the case, according to the Press.
From the story:
quote:
Following a 10-minute recess, Himelman returned to

the courtroom with his verdict. In giving his ruling, the
judge described Verrecchia as "someone who enjoyed
his job a little too much."
Himelman also discredited Verrecchia's testimony about his own

movements prior to spotting Sullivan's car and his claim that he
didn't recognize Sullivan's vehicle.
From the story:
quote:
Himelman also discussed an hourlong DVD [defense

attorney James] Fagen had submitted into evidence
containing footage from a surveillance camera showing
Sullivan in the processing room of Wall police
headquarters after his arrest.
"I didn't see (Sullivan) staggering, I didn't see him

falling, I saw him walking around," Himelman said.
"What I saw on that surveillance tape was a man who
had five beers, not someone who had 10 beers."
Verrecchia expressed outrage afterward.
quote:
"For four months, I've had to deal with my integrity

being questioned and now a judge questions it," he said.
Sgt. Frank Lancellotti said he and Verrecchia have

received very little support from both police

administration and the Township Committee since the
arrest.
"With 18 years on the job, the justice system has failed

me . . . and the town has failed me," Lancellotti said.
"I honestly don't want to be a cop anymore,"

Verrecchia said, "because I now know that I don't make
a difference."
Lancellotti said he would feel "like a giant target"

returning to work on Monday. And although both
officers were under departmental orders not to speak to
the press, they decided to answer reporters' questions
following the trial.
"What are they going to do to me now?" Lancellotti

said. "They already called me a liar in court."
Himelman said it was the first not-guilty ruling he'd made in the last
five years.
quote:
Red Bank Municipal Prosecutor James N. Butler said he

was "shocked" by the judge's decision. "To me, it set
the criminal justice system back a long way, because
what it said is, "Don't arrest a cop,' " Butler said.
Sullivan had been tapped to become Wall's police chief in early

January, but the promotion was pulled after his Jan. 27 arrest.

allegations by police Capt. Bernard Sullivan that his arrest on
drunken-driving charges last year was without probable cause, and
that his appointment as police chief was rescinded without due
process.
The defendants also are demanding a jury trial to resolve the

matter. Court officials said no date has been set. The allegations
were made by Sullivan in his $5 million lawsuit against the
township, department, the Township Committee and the officers
who arrested him. The suit was filed after he was found not guilty
of drunken driving.
In their formal response, the township and Police Department

denied Sullivan was arrested without probable cause, and said the
resolution naming him the next chief was not "final and binding."
Sullivan "did not possess a protected property interest in the

position of police chief because the position was not effective until
Feb. 1, 2007, and he was removed . . . prior to the effective date,"
said their response, filed Jan. 30 in the Civil Division of state
Superior Court, Freehold.
On Sept. 10, Sullivan, 42, who has been an officer since March
1984, filed the suit against arresting officers Patrolman J. Todd
Verrecchia and Sgt. Frank Lancellotti and the co-defendants.
The suit also says the defendants "damaged Sullivan's reputation

and standing in the community and imposed on him a stigma that
forecloses his freedom to take advantage of other employment
opportunities." It also says he was the victim of "intentional
infliction of emotional distress" and defamation of character.
On Jan. 24, 2007, Sullivan had been named by the Township

Committee to replace retiring Police Chief Roy Hall. Three days
later, he was pulled over by Verrecchia on Belmar Boulevard, near
his Walling Avenue home in the West Belmar section.
Verrecchia, in his separate answer, states that as a public employee

he "acted in good faith, based on reasonable cause in arresting the
plaintiff."

In their responses, the defendants also deny that they violated

Sullivan's civil rights as established under the 4th and 14th
amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
They also deny that Sullivan "suffered loss of his liberty and
freedom, mental anguish, damage to his personal and professional
reputation, the expense of attorney's fees and loss of earnings," as
he contends. The suit describes those losses as "permanent or
continuing."
The Township Committee rescinded the resolution naming Sullivan

the next chief on Jan. 30, 2007. Capt. David Morris was chosen to
fill the position soon afterward.
The township also denies Sullivan's claim that there was no

investigation to justify rescinding Sullivan's appointment as chief.
Case heard in Red Bank
Red Bank Municipal Court Judge William Himelman found Sullivan

not guilty on May 14. Himelman said Sullivan's trial attorney, James
Fagen of Freehold, had created sufficient reasonable doubt as to
whether Sullivan was drunk at the time of the arrest.
In handing down his decision, Himelman said, "It's a pity. . . . Wall

should have given the court system an opportunity to work before
they decided that (Sullivan) shouldn't do the job."
Himelman's remarks were quoted in Sullivan's complaint and in its

response the township denied that "Himelman had any jurisdiction
to comment on the employment relationship between the township
and the plaintiff."
On Oct. 16, the township received a complaint and jury demand

that were filed by Sullivan's attorney, Bruce McMoran, in state
Superior Court.
In his separate answer, Lancellotti demanded "dismissal of

(Sullivan's) complaint and judgment against plaintiff for costs and
fees incurred in having to defend the within action," while
Verrecchia and Guy P. Ryan, the Toms River-based attorney
representing the township, the Township Committee and the Police
Department, demanded a trial by jury on all issues.

Former Los Angeles police officer admits to violent robbery

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - A former police officer serving 15 years in prison on

drug trafficking and weapon charges, has admitted that he and
other officers were behind a robbery spree that netted hundreds of
thousands of dollars between 1998 and 2001.
Ruben Palomares, 34, and his colleagues collected drugs, cash,

guns and other items in robberies that sometimes turned brutally

violent, according to a plea agreement and other documents, the

Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
The robberies were often staged to look like law enforcement raids,
and in one instance, the robbers even identified themselves as cops
as they stole television sets from the back of semi truck on a street
in Montebello, the documents show.
According to the documents filed Tuesday, the ex-Rampart Division

officer agreed to plead guilty to a potential life sentence in
connection with the robberies and agreed to cooperate with
authorities.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien, the lead prosecutor on

the case, declined comment.
Winston Kevin McKesson, Palomares' lawyer, said his client has

become a born-again Christian after his arrest and is trying to make
amends for his misdeeds.
"He's decided to step forward and try to see that justice is done,"
said McKesson, who also represented Rafael Perez, the LAPD officer
who launched the Rampart division corruption investigation in 1999.
"He's trying to get right with God."
The charges are the result of an ongoing federal investigation that

began when Palomares was caught buying 10 kilograms of cocaine
from undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agents in San
Diego in 2001.
Palomares and his cohorts dressed in police uniforms, drove, police

cars and flashed their badges during many of the robberies,
according to the documents.
During the spree, at least two men were shot with stun guns, while
another man was beaten with a police baton, had a gun shoved in
his mouth and was burned with a lighter, the Times reported.
The group sold the more than 700 pounds of marijuana, 50 kilos of
cocaine, and an assortment of firearms and jewelry that it collected,
the court papers state.
The officers used surveillance teams to watch for police or

witnesses and would often handcuff their victims.
Under his plea deal, Palomares can only earn a reduction in his
sentence if the prosecution finds that he has been truthful and has
provided "substantial assistance" to their investigation.
Prosecutors have already been able to corroborate much of his

allegations through outside sources, the Times reported.
The robbery crew was made up of about 20 members, including

family and friends of Palomares.

Among them were five officers on active-duty at the time of the

spree. Two were members of the Los Angeles Police Department,
one of whom was later fired for unrelated misconduct and another
who resigned. Two more were Long Beach officers assigned to desk
duties pending the outcome of the federal investigation.
The fifth was a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who now works
as a prison guard at the California Correctional Institution in
Tehachapi.
Palomares, who joined the LAPD in 1993, was a former Golden

Gloves boxer who sparred with such fighters as Oscar De La Hoya
and Shane Mosley.
He was among a number of officers identified by Rafael Perez in

1999, but Palomares was never criminally charged in the Rampart
scandal and the majority of his criminal activity took place while he
was under investigation, according to court documents.
Palomares pleaded guilty to the San Diego drug charges last year.
The investigation into the robbery ring remains ongoing.
At his sentencing, Palomares said he regretted his crime. He said he

started committing robberies to provide for his five young children
after alcohol and pain pill addictions forced him go on disability at
the LAPD.

A former Los Angeles police officer has admitted to federal

authorities that he and a group of fellow area law enforcement
officers conducted a string of brazen armed robberies across
Southern California staged to look like legitimate law enforcement
raids.

Ruben Palomares, 34, and his cohorts stole hundreds of thousands

of dollars worth of drugs, cash, guns and other items over a nearly
four-year period beginning in 1998, according to a plea agreement
and related documents filed Tuesday. The one-time Rampart
Division officer has agreed to plead guilty to a potential life
sentence in connection with the crime spree and to cooperate with
authorities.
The documents provide new details about Palomares' criminal

enterprise, which has been the subject of an ongoing federal
investigation since he was caught buying 10 kilograms of cocaine
from undercover DEA agents three years ago.
Palomares and his band wore police uniforms and badges during
many of the robberies. They would use LAPD (news - web sites)
squad cars and unmarked police vehicles during the heists, court
documents show.
Some of the armed robberies turned brutally violent. At least two

men were shot with stun guns during the robberies. Another man
was beaten with a police baton, had a gun shoved in his mouth and
was burned with a lighter, according to the documents.
The crew's crime spree yielded more than 700 pounds of marijuana
and 50 kilos of cocaine, which Palomares' crew then sold for profit,
the court papers state. In addition, the crew stole cars, money and
an assortment of firearms and jewelry. In one particularly bold
robbery, crew members identified themselves as cops as they
commandeered television sets from the back of semi truck on a
street in Montebello, the documents show.
According to court papers, Palomares' network of thieves used law

enforcement tactics during their robberies. Some crew members

were assigned surveillance duties, looking out for police and

potential witnesses. Other members — dubbed the "entry team" —
would burst into locations. Victims were often handcuffed as the
bandits looked for drugs and money.
As part of his plea deal, Palomares is required to cooperate with all

aspects of the government's ongoing investigation. Palomares has
no incentive to lie in his statements to authorities. The only possible
way for him to earn a reduction in his life sentence is for
prosecutors to determine that he has been truthful and to certify
that he has provided "substantial assistance" to the investigation.
Even before Palomares agreed to cooperate, investigators had been

able to verify many of the group's criminal acts through other
means.
Palomares and five others were active-duty law enforcement

officers at the time, court documents show. Two were members of
the LAPD. One of them was fired for unrelated misconduct; the
other has since resigned.
Two others were Long Beach officers who remain on the force,
although they have been assigned desk duties pending the outcome
of the federal investigation. The fifth was a Los Angeles County
sheriff's deputy who now works as a prison guard. He remains on
the job with no restrictions at the California Correctional Institution
in Tehachapi.
Other members included Palomares' friends and relatives, according

to sources familiar with the case. One participant was a professional
female boxer. Authorities believe there were about 20 members in
all. Palomares' wife, also an LAPD officer, has not been implicated in
any direct involvement with the ring but is suspected of knowing
about its activities, according to the sources.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Thomas P. O'Brien, the lead prosecutor on the

case, declined comment.
Winston Kevin McKesson, Palomares' lawyer, said the former officer

has become a born-again Christian since his arrest and is trying to
make amends for his misdeeds.
"He's decided to step forward and try to see that justice is done,"
said McKesson, who also represented Rafael Perez, the LAPD officer
who launched the Rampart scandal in 1999. "He's trying to get right
with God."
Palomares, a former Golden Gloves boxer who sparred with such

fighters as Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley, joined the LAPD in
1993. Because of his youthful appearance, he was assigned to a
juvenile narcotics unit where he investigated drug use in high
schools. He later transferred to the Rampart Division, where he
continued to work in narcotics.

Allegations of corruption against Palomares first surfaced in 1999

during the Rampart scandal when Perez told detectives that
Palomares once intimated that he had been involved in an
unjustified shooting and covered it up.
"I would look at everything Palomares has done, every arrest that
he's made, and scrutinize it very carefully," Perez told investigators.
Palomares was never criminally charged in the Rampart scandal.
In fact, court documents show, the height of Palomares' criminal

activity was during the same time he was under investigation by
the LAPD.
Palomares' criminal rampage ended June 8, 2001, when he and four

other men were arrested in San Diego in a cocaine sting by DEA
agents. One of the men arrested that day immediately began
cooperating with authorities, alleging that Palomares was the leader
of a gang that conducted invasion-style robberies of drug dealers,
sometimes dressed as cops.
Palomares pleaded guilty to the San Diego drug charges last year
and was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. Since his arrest, a
team of FBI (news - web sites) agents and LAPD detectives has
been attempting to piece together the extent of his criminal activity.
The investigation is not limited to off-duty crimes. Investigators

have also been looking into a 1999 police shooting by former LAPD
Officer William Ferguson, who authorities believe was a member of
Palomares' crew. Ferguson's attorney declined comment.
Also under investigation is a December 2000 killing in Huntington

Park, in which several crew members, including Palomares,
allegedly attacked a man after an argument at a restaurant.
At his sentencing last year, Palomares said he was remorseful about

his life of crime. He said he had started abusing alcohol and pain
pills after a shoulder injury forced him go on disability at the LAPD.
He started committing robberies, he said, because he desperately
needed money to provide for his five young children.
"I made the worst mistake of my life," Palomares said at the time.
"I turned away from everything I knew to be true and steadfast, a
decision I will regret every day for the rest of my life."

Feds: Five cops were robbers

'Traitors to the badge,' LAPD chief says
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/03/03/c...s.ap/index.html

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- They cased homes
containing drugs, money and weapons like suspects in any
other robbery ring, prosecutors say.
But instead of donning ski masks and stealing through windows in

the dead of night, the robbers allegedly wore police uniforms and
badges as they carried out raids that authorities say were intended
to appear like official law enforcement searches.

Five of the suspects were sworn officers at the time.
Nineteen people have been charged in the ring, led by then-Los

Angeles police Officer Ruben Palomares, prosecutors said
Thursday in announcing the results of a four-year investigation.
Palomares and his associates are accused of targeting locations

where people were suspected of selling drugs, then gaining access
by saying they were conducting a legitimate police search before
stealing valuables, prosecutors said.
"While this story sounds like a script from 'The Shield' or 'Training
Day,' it actually happened here in L.A.," said Assistant U.S.
Attorney Thomas O'Brien.
A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted six people, and those

arrested were a former sheriff's deputy now on leave from the state
Department of Corrections and two fired officers from the Los
Angeles and Long Beach police departments. Three people who
were indicted are still being sought.
The defendants face multiple counts of conspiracy to possess

narcotics with the intent to distribute, deprivation of rights under
color of law and using a firearm during a drug trafficking crime and
a crime of violence.
Thirteen people charged earlier include Palomares, 36; two

of Palomares' cousins; and Jesse Moya, 29, a former LAPD
officer who agreed to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge in
2004.
Palomares and Moya "are traitors to the badge that the men and
women of this department so proudly wear, traitors to their fellow
officers, but most importantly, traitors to the public trust," Los
Angeles police Chief William Bratton said.
Authorities contend that Palomares supplied the group with

uniforms, radios and even badges to carry out the raids. In some
cases, members drove to targeted drug houses in official LAPD cars.
Victims were allegedly restrained, threatened and sometimes
beaten while the group scoured the houses for drugs, weapons and
money.
Stolen property included 600 pounds of marijuana, TVs, jewelry,

money and rifles from Los Angeles County sites, prosecutors said.
Palomares already is serving 15 years in prison for drug trafficking

and weapons crimes dating from 2001.
"He has accepted full responsibility for his roles in these misdeeds,"
said Palomares' attorney Winston Kevin McKesson.

Ex-officer describes switching to crime

Ruben Palomares testifies in trial of two alleged members of his
crew, which robbed drug dealers.

January 9, 2008
Testifying with the confidence and poise of the expert witness he

once was, disgraced Los Angeles police Officer Ruben Palomares
told a federal court jury Tuesday how he went from being an
idealistic young officer who wanted to be a role model for troubled
kids to a cynical and corrupt cop at the center of a home-invasion
robbery ring.
Dressed in a green prison jumpsuit, Palomares faced the jury, often

arching his eyebrows or gesturing as best he could in handcuffs to
help make his points.
Palomares, who faces a potential life sentence for his admitted role
as mastermind of the ring, was testifying in the trial of two of his
alleged cohorts, fired LAPD Officer William Ferguson and his
brother, suspended Long Beach Officer Joseph Ferguson.
Palomares and 14 other defendants have pleaded guilty, but the

Ferguson brothers are fighting the charges in front of U.S. District
Judge Gary A. Feess. Palomares is hoping that his cooperation will
help him get a reduced sentence.
William Ferguson is accused of serving as Palomares' partner in

numerous drug rip-offs staged to look like legitimate police raids.

Joseph Ferguson is accused of driving Palomares and his brother to
the LAPD academy to steal police cars to be used as props in the
robberies and of acting as a lookout on some of the jobs. He is also
accused of making a fake 911 call that resulted in the arrest and
eventual imprisonment of a crew member who had fallen out of
favor with Palomares.
Palomares identified both of the Fergusons in court and detailed

their alleged involvement in various "jobs." Palomares said William
Ferguson, whom he met while the two worked together briefly in
the Rampart Division, was a thorough searcher whom he could
count on to find drugs or money hidden in locations where they
conducted their bogus raids.
"I used to joke that he was like a bloodhound," Palomares testified,

a slight smile crossing his face. "If there were drugs, I knew he
would find them."
He said Joseph, whom he referred to as "Joey," routinely scouted

locations the crew was plotting to rob and provided surveillance
while the robberies were underway.
Under questioning by prosecutor Jeffrey S. Blumberg of the Justice

Department's civil rights division, Palomares at times sounded like
an active duty police officer as he talked about "formulating a plan"
prior to doing "takedowns" on the locations.
Blumberg asked about the significance of arriving at the locations in

a police car.
"That way we wouldn't have any resistance or any problems,"

Palomares said.
Palomares testified about the details of more than a dozen

robberies or attempted robberies of the approximately 40 he says
he and his crew committed. He guessed that he and his cohorts
stole about $1 million in drugs and cash between 1999 and 2001,
when he was arrested while trying to buy 10 kilos of cocaine from
undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agents in San Diego.
Palomares said he turned to crime after getting hurt on the job and
becoming disillusioned by the suspension and subsequent firing of
officers implicated in the Rampart police corruption scandal. He also
had money troubles.
Palomares admitted on the stand that he and fellow officers

periodically planted drugs -- "cop dope," he called it -- on suspects
against whom they didn't have sufficient evidence and then wrote
false police reports, but he said he felt doing so was justified.
"We felt we were at war," he said. The officers who did such things,
he said, "were the officers who really did their jobs and didn't let
the gang members win."

He said he first entered into a deal with an old friend who was a
drug dealer. The friend told Palomares where he could find large
amounts of drugs or money to rob with his crew. The robbers then
would split the proceeds with the dealer and his wife, he testified.
He said he later forged a similar relationship with a real estate
agent who specialized in renting safe houses to Mexican drug
dealers.
The former officer described one incident in which he and Ferguson,

in uniform, raided a drug dealer's house and found 50 kilos of
cocaine. He said the two loaded the drugs into a patrol car they had
commandeered, then shifted the cocaine into an accomplice's truck
in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium before returning the police car
to the nearby LAPD academy.
Palomares is scheduled to be cross-examined today.

No, Ruben, you didn't "turn to crime." You were already a

criminal when you joined the force, like almost every one of
your brethren in blue and you engaged routinely in criminal
activity while in the line of duty. What got you into trouble was
that you began committing crimes without the sanction of
your employer, the State. You engaged in criminal activity for
your own enrichment rather than for the purpose of carrying
out the orchestrated terror campaign against the citizenry that
is your bosses' mechanism of control (and for which you were
issued a uniform, a badge, and a gun, among other things).
Had you committed your crimes under their direction, you
would be standing in front of the mayor and city council in your
dress uniform receiving a medal of commendation rather than
standing in front of a judge and jury in a prison jumpsuit.

Here we have a classic case of Valachi-ism in action: an insider

ratting on his godfathers and fellow criminals when the heat is
turned up. The difference here is that, unlike Joe Valachi, Ruben
isn't telling us anything we don't already know, But it's still
refreshing to read him confirming it. Imagine how many other
uniformed agents of the state still hold this stuff as carefully
guarded as if it was a state secret.

Former Cop Confesses To Robbing Drug Dealers

Registered: Jul 2003 Ex-Officer Testifies Against Alleged Co-Conspirators

Posts: 31403
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
Ex-Los Angeles police Officer Ruben Palomares, who admitted being

the ringleader of a group that robbed drug dealers, testified against
his alleged co-conspirators Tuesday. Palomares, 37, appeared in
prison garb, leg irons and handcuffs before the jury. He testified in
detail about home-invasion robberies that he performed in his
police uniform along with others, allegedly including former LAPD
Officer William Ferguson, 35, and his 33-year-old brother, former
Long Beach police Officer Joseph Ferguson.
Prosecutors say the group pulled off as many as 30 holdups

between 1999 and 2001. Palomares and William Ferguson, once
assigned to the LAPD's Rampart Station, were fired in 2003.
Palomares told the court how he and William Ferguson would take
squad cars from the Los Angeles Police Academy. Then, while in
uniform, Palomares and Ferguson would search homes, saying they
were on a drug investigation, he testified.
Palomares said he and William Ferguson would take drugs, money

or whatever else appeared to be valuable. Ferguson, whom he
called a "bloodhound," was particularly adept at finding drugs and
money, he said.
"I trusted him more than the other guys," Palomares said.
Palomares testified that "Armando," who had ties to Mexican
traffickers, tipped him off as to where drugs and cash were stored.
After the robberies, the holdup crew would split the cash, give the
drugs to a dealer and take a cut of the sales, he testified.
On one occasion, Palomares testified that he, William Ferguson and

another man split $150,000 after robbing a home of cash and
cocaine.
In some cases, members of the ring, including himself and William

Ferguson, would steal jewelry and other items without telling their
partners in crime, Palomares testified.
Joseph Ferguson, he said, was brought into the group at the behest
of his older brother. On several occasions, Joseph Ferguson acted
as a lookout while Palomares, William Ferguson and another co-
conspirator, all in police uniforms, robbed homes.
Joseph Ferguson also called 911 to set up fellow co-conspirator

David Barajas, who was spending his ill-gotten money recklessly,

Palomares said. Barajas, who was on probation, was arrested for

illegally possessing a gun and spent a year in jail, Palomares
testified.
He also said he and Joseph Ferguson later laughed about the 911
call that led to Barajas' arrest. The Ferguson brothers are being
tried in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles.
David R. Reed, Joseph Ferguson's attorney, said in his opening

statement last week that some of the government's witnesses are
convicted felons facing "astronomical amounts of prison time."
The Ferguson brothers are charged with depriving individuals of

their constitutional rights under color of law, possession or
attempted possession of a controlled substance with intent to
distribute and brandishing a firearm during the commission of a
violent crime.
Fifteen defendants previously pleaded guilty to their roles in the

robberies, including Palomares, who was arrested on federal
narcotics charges in 2001.
William Ferguson is jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in

downtown Los Angeles. Joseph Ferguson is free in lieu of $1 million
bond.

LONG BEACH - A former Long Beach police officer took the stand in
his own defense Wednesday, describing himself as an unwitting
participant in a home-invasion robbery ring that victimized
suspected drug dealers and their families between 1999 and 2001.
Testifying on his own behalf, Joseph Ferguson, 33, said he

was hired to do surveillance work by former Los Angeles
Police Officer Ruben Palomares - who since has pleaded
guilty to orchestrating the criminal ring and has
corroborated the government's case against Ferguson.
"Did you have a reason to suspect that there was anything illegal
about the surveillance?" Ferguson's attorney asked him during his
examination.
"Absolutely not," the defendant answered.
Ferguson and his older brother, former Los Angeles Police Officer
William Ferguson, are facing a host of federal corruption charges
before U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess that could put them in
prison for the rest of their lives.
William Ferguson is accused of playing a primary role in the gang,

which posed as police officers carrying out legitimate law-
enforcement duties. Joseph Ferguson is accused of playing a limited
role - including driving a getaway car, acting as a lookout outside
some of the homes being robbed, and providing surveillance for
future robberies. He also is accused of placing a false 911 call that
resulted in the arrest of a fellow co-conspirator who had fallen out
of favor with the group.
Joseph Ferguson's testimony followed a number of character

witnesses - including a third brother, former LBPD Officer Nestor
Ferguson - all of whom testified about Joseph's integrity and
honesty.
But, under cross-examination by U.S. Department of Justice

attorney Jeffrey Blumberg, Joseph Ferguson acknowledged lying
numerous times.
He admitted that he lied on an apartment rental application when

he said he would be the only person living in the unit. He admitted
that he lied on a police application about the last time he had been
in the presence of illegal drugs. He admitted placing an

advertisement on eBay that claimed he had spent $26,000

refurbishing a Jeep when he had actually spent only $9,000. He
admitted failing to report income to the Internal Revenue Service.
And, most strikingly, he admitted to placing a 911 call that he knew

to be false.
In the call, which was played for jurors Wednesday, Joseph

Ferguson can be heard telling the operator that he had just seen an
act of road rage in Los Angeles and that he saw the driver with a
gun. He gave an address for the driver, urged the police to come
quickly, and then hung up when asked to stay on the line.
The police did come and the man was arrested for being a parolee
in possession of a weapon. But he had not been engaged in road
rage.
Rather, evidence shows, he was a drug dealer providing information

to Palomares' gang but who had fallen out of favor.
Joseph Ferguson explained that his brother William had told him
that the man was a wife-beater, and that he decided to place the
911 call so that he would be arrested without it being traced back
to the wife.
"Restraining orders don't always work," he said.
Joseph Ferguson's testimony offered some insight into his personal

life, as well.
The son of a Navy man, Joseph Ferguson grew up primarily in

Corona and occupied all sorts of odd jobs while attending classes at
Long Beach City College and Cypress College after high school.
He worked as a waiter, repaired surfboards, fixed up Jeeps for

resale, taught sailing and worked construction, among other things,
he said.
At times, he testified, he had financial troubles but finally decided

to follow in his brothers' footsteps by joining the Long Beach Police
Academy in October 2000.
"I didn't really want to be a police officer initially," he said, "but I

came to a point in my life when I realized I needed to start doing
something with myself."
Ferguson broke down in tears twice on the stand - once at the

beginning of his testimony, when talking about his wife and 1-year-
old son; and the second at the end, when he spoke about being a
cop.
But the rest of his testimony was delivered with a composed

confidence. He constantly seemed to be suppressing a smile and
often offered more than the questions required.

At one point, when asked about a red Jeep he owned and which
allegedly had been spotted at some of the crime scenes, he said it
was the last vehicle he would use for surveillance because its color
and rattle made it stand out.
"That was what kind of tickled me and made me smile," he started

to say, before being interrupted by Judge Feess.
"We're not asking you what tickled you and made you smile," he
told Ferguson. "Confine your remarks."
Nestor Ferguson, the only of the three Ferguson brothers not to be

indicted, was fired from the LBPD in 2005 after both brothers failed
to show up for an Internal Affairs interview related to the
indictment.
On Wednesday, Nestor Ferguson acknowledged that he had been

under investigation in connection with the criminal ring but strongly
maintained that he knew nothing of it at the time.
"First of all," he said, "I'm the oldest brother. If I would have known
my brothers were doing something like that, I would have taken
care of it."
Asked to elaborate, he said: "To be blunt, it would have been a

good ass-beating."
But Nestor did admit, under cross-examination, that he interviewed

an acquaintance this week in an attempt to identify an alibi for
Joseph Ferguson for the night of Aug. 12, 2000 - the day Joseph is
accused of helping to steal an LAPD police vehicle and then doing
surveillance for a robbery.
Nestor said there had been a wedding of mutual friend that night
and that he interviewed the groom about whether Joseph had been
at the wedding.
The groom "said that he was so out of it that he couldn't

remember," Nestor said.
Asked why he waited three years to try to confirm the alibi, he said:
"Sir, I didn't know the importance of it until recently."
Under further questioning by Blumberg, Nestor said he and his

brothers were "very close" and counted on each other for help.
"If Bill needed help with something," Blumberg asked, "you would
expect him to turn to his brother, Joe, wouldn't you?"
"Yes," he answered. "That's what families are for."
The trial is expected to conclude today, with closing arguments

tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.

Rogue LAPD officer gets 13 years in prison

A disgraced former Los Angeles police officer was sentenced
Monday to more than 13 years in federal prison for recruiting and
leading fellow rogue law enforcement officers and others who
committed home invasion robberies staged to look like police raids.
Ruben Palomares, 38, admitted leading more than 40 phony raids

from early 1999 to June 2001 at homes in working-class
neighborhoods in Los Angeles County while he was still on the
police force.
U.S. District Judge Gary Allen Feess sentenced him to 158 months
in federal prison.
Along with Palomares, members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's

Department, Long Beach Police Department and California
Department of Corrections took part in the raids.
Palomares also recruited civilians, friends and family members,

including his 34-year-old cousin, Gabriel Loaiza, who was sentenced
Monday by Feess to nine years in federal prison.
Both men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the civil rights of

others, conspiracy to distribute illegal drugs, violating the civil
rights of others and using a firearm during a crime of violence.
Added into their previous sentences for possession with intent to

distribute cocaine, Palomares will have spent about 20 years in

prison, while Loaiza -- who cooperated very early in the
government's case -- will have served a total of 15 years.
Addressing the court, Palomares called his stint behind bars ``the
most embarrassing thing I've been through.''
`Ì became a criminal -- something I never wanted to do;

something I despised,'' he said.
He said he found his calling through his Christian prison ministry.
Palomares, who has been in custody since selling a large amount of

stolen cocaine to an undercover federal agent in San Diego in June
2001, became emotional when talking about his five children.
Both Palomares and family members assembled in the courtroom

began weeping when he recited his childrens' ages now compared
to before his arrest.
Feess said Palomares wouldn't see his children grow up, but his
sentence ``will give him the opportunity to be part of their lives
after he's been released.''
Both Palomares and Loaiza -- who said his crimes were the product
of ``plain stupidity'' -- could have spent the rest of their lives in
prison, but their cooperation with the FBI and federal prosecutors
led to a reduction of their potential sentences.
Both Palomares and Loaiza testified in January against two of their

co- conspirators, ex-LAPD Officer William Ferguson and his brother,
ex-Long Beach Police Officer Joseph Ferguson. Both men were
convicted.
During his testimony, Palomares described a ``war'' between police

and criminals and said he became disillusioned after the corruption
scandal that hit the LAPD's Rampart Division in the late 1990s. He
said he and other law enforcement officers decided to rob drug
dealers as a way to combat criminals -- and make quick money.
Acting on tips from an informant, Palomares and other uniformed

officers went to homes where drugs or cash were believed to be
stashed.
Palomares said he would tell the residents that officers were

conducting a ``narcotics investigation,'' then search the house. He
conceded that victims were often threatened, restrained or
assaulted during the searches.
The officers would then split the stolen cash or sell the drugs on the
street for profit, Palomares said.
In some instances, the officers got incorrect information from their

informants, and innocent people were robbed, Palomares said.

Prosecutors said that on one occasion, Palomares and others

tortured a Compton drug dealer at his home, beating him and
shoving a gun in his mouth when no drugs or cash were found.
Some of the victims of the raids included children.
Palomares also admitted to falsifying evidence, committing perjury

and writing bogus police reports during his years at the LAPD.
``He wasn't much of a police officer the last years he was on the
force,'' Feess said today.
Winston McKesson, Palomares' attorney, said the Mexican Mafia and

other prison gangs had threatened Palomares' life, and his status as
a convicted ex- cop made him a target of other inmates.
McKesson also said Palomares had risked his life by acting as a

religious minister to other prisoners.
``He is truly a man of God,'' McKesson said.
But U.S. Attorney Thomas O'Brien, who once was the lead
prosecutor on this case, had a different take.
``With brazen disregard for the safety of those he was victimizing,

Ruben Palomares repeatedly violated the sanctity of the law he was
sworn to uphold,'' O'Brien said in a prepared statement.

A true but tainted statement, since it comes from the mouth of

a federal prosecutor, one of yet another breed of violent,
lawless, predatory scumbag doing just as much, if not more,
damage to society than rogue cops.

John Wayne Black was charged Tuesday in a new indictment with a

Sheriff's Department spokesman Michael McCarter declined

A half-dozen cocke County officers have been arrested since June in

Two of the officers have pleaded guilty to drug offenses. Three

others await trial, accused of violating people's rights by shaking
them down during traffic stops.
Black and two Newport Police Department sergeants remain on duty

pending resolution of charges against them.
Black was earlier charged with trying to fraudulently get money

from a motorcycle manufacturer, filing a lawsuit that claimed the
bike he bought and wrecked was defective.
An F-B-I investigation concluded Black wrecked the motorcycle

while performing a "wheelie."
He initially was charged with perjury and two counts of mail fraud.
The superseding indictment this week dropped one of the fraud
charges and added witness tampering.

A ****e County Sheriff's Department deputy accused of perjury

and mail fraud was indicted Tuesday on an additional charge of
witness tampering, court records show.
John Wayne "Johnny" Black, 34, of Newport faces up to 10 years in

prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted of the offense,
according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Sheriff department's spokesman Michael McCarter declined to

comment.
Black is one of six ****e County lawmen arrested since June as

part of a sweeping federal probe into public corruption and
organized crime in the county. Two of the officers have pleaded
guilty to drug trafficking-related offenses, and three others are
awaiting trial on allegations that they violated the civil rights of
citizens by shaking them down during traffic stops.
Black and the other three officers awaiting trial - including two
Newport Police Department sergeants - remain on duty pending
resolution of their cases.
Black was arrested Sept. 26 by the FBI for allegedly lying about a
2002 motorcycle accident in which he and another off-duty deputy,
Jonathan Morgan, were injured.
Black had filed a civil lawsuit against the motorcycle's manufacturer

seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, according to
court records. Federal prosecutors allege the lawsuit was part of a
fraudulent scheme to collect money from the company.
Black allegedly lied under oath "by concealing that he had engaged
in an unsafe act at the time of the accident," court records state.
When he wrecked, he was allegedly "performing a 'wheelie,' "
according to the FBI.
He initially was charged with perjury and two counts of mail fraud,
but the superseding indictment issued Tuesday dropped one of the
fraud charges.
According to the new indictment, Black "did knowingly attempt to

corruptly persuade and to engage in misleading conduct toward
Jonathan Morgan by telling Morgan, 'keep your story. Whatever you
said in your deposition, keep it' and 'you didn't see nothing, son,

you said you was sitting there and all you know somebody hit your
leg.' "
Black's alleged statements toward Morgan on Sept. 22 were part of

a scheme to influence Morgan's testimony and "hinder, delay, and
prevent the communication to a law enforcement officer of
information relating to the commission of a federal offense," the
indictment states.

GREENEVILLE - If ****e Countians are, as one official has said,

waiting for the "other shoe to drop," stay tuned. It just might.
Federal authorities revealed Friday that ****e County has been the
target of a probe for at least the past four years. That probe has
included "numerous criminal violations" including drug trafficking,
organized gambling, chop shop operations, the hijacking of
"interstate shipments," prostitution, corruption and racketeering,
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy Harr told a judge.
Harr's statement came during a hearing in U.S. District Court in

Greeneville, at which ****e County Sheriff's Department Deputy
Larry Joe Dodgin admitted that he sidelined as an armed drug

dealer.
Harr told federal Judge J. Ronnie Greer that Dodgin's arrest resulted
from an ongoing probe by the FBI, the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation, the Tennessee Highway Patrol's Criminal
Investigation Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office and District
Attorney General Al Schmutzer Jr. into illegal activities in ****e
County.
It was during that probe, Harr said, that Dodgin, in the course of
bragging about other, unnamed "criminal activities," talked to a
man about "acquiring multiple kilograms of cocaine for distribution
by himself, (co-defendant) Jeremy (Scott) Jones and others," Harr
said.
That man was a FBI agent working undercover.
After several recorded telephone conversations, a deal was struck

between Dodgin, Jones and two undercover agents, one of whom
posed as a cocaine supplier, according to a factual basis filed by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert M. Reeves.
On June 17, Dodgin met one of the agents in Dandridge and

exchanged cash for 3 kilograms of cocaine, Reeves wrote. As soon
as Dodgin put the bricks of cocaine in his vehicle, authorities
arrested him.
Reeves told Greer that Dodgin had brought with him a loaded .38-
caliber Derringer-style pistol "to protect Dodgin, the money and the
cocaine."
Jones was arrested later and still faces federal charges.
Dodgin has struck a deal with prosecutors, agreeing to plead guilty

to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and possession of a gun during a
drug transaction.
According to his plea agreement, Dodgin has agreed to fill in federal

authorities on everything he knows about crime in ****e County.
He also is agreeing to testify before any federal grand jury and, if
needed, at any trial that may result.
In return, Dodgin is hoping to shave off a little time from his own
prison term. Right now, he faces a mandatory five-year prison term
on the gun charge and at least five more years on the conspiracy
count.
Despite his plea agreement, federal authorities were playing

hardball with Dodgin Friday.
When his attorney, J. Russell Pryor, asked Greer to free Dodgin

pending his October sentencing, Reeves cried foul.
"He is a lifelong resident of Northeastern Tennessee," Pryor said.

"His family is here. His children live in ****e County. His father is a

state trooper in good standing and lives in ****e County."
But Reeves quickly countered, "It is our position that he is a danger

to the community. He was a police officer for over five years and
was involved in some serious criminal activity. We feel it would be a
danger to him as well as the community to release him."
Greer sided with Reeves, saying, "I find that it falls under the
nature of the offense that Mr. Dodgin represents a danger to the
community."
Dodgin's arrest came on the heels of a massive, multiagency raid of

a ****fighting pit in Del Rio on June 11 that federal court records
indicate was, along with a second ****e County ****fighting pit,
the site of a multimillion dollar illegal gambling operation.
Federal authorities are seeking to seize both.
The raid came under fire from U.S. Rep. Bill Jenkins, who
contended it was a waste of federal resources. Schmutzer, whose
prosecutorial jurisdiction includes ****e County, fired back that the
raid was part of a larger probe.
Harr's comments in court Friday confirmed that and also added fuel
to the notion that the probe into types of crime that have long
tarnished ****e County's reputation is far from over.
Jamie Satterfield may be reached at 865-342-6308.

By J.J. STAMBAUGH, stambaugh@knews.com
July 11, 2005
NEWPORT, Tenn. — It's been two weeks since a small army of

heavily armed agents from the FBI and other agencies smashed
into a remote hollow near Del Rio to execute a federal search
warrant related to illegal gambling.
Their target was a secluded ****fighting compound that had

allegedly operated unmolested for nearly 20 years, drawing
thousands of people from neighboring states to take part in a
treasured local tradition that just happens to be a misdemeanor
crime under Tennessee law.
Many East Tennesseans — as well as their representatives in

Washington, D.C. — accused the FBI of using excessive force to
bring down a peaceful gathering of ****fighting enthusiasts.
Events have moved rapidly since then.
When the federal government filed a court action to seize the Del
Rio ****fighting Pit, it also revealed that FBI agents and informants
had been infiltrating another alleged gambling operation near
Newport for more than two years. The second pit allegedly sold
alcoholic beverages from a concession area and sometimes used
guards armed with semiautomatic rifles.
According to court documents, the operators of the pits allegedly

raked in hundreds of thousands of untaxed dollars and millions
more were wagered by spectators, some of whom also took part in
high-stakes card games and wagers on NASCAR races.
Only a few days later, Larry Joe Dodgin, a popular ****e County
Sheriff's Department deputy, was arrested by the FBI for allegedly
conspiring with a felon to buy and distribute $60,000 worth of
cocaine.
As they had during the gambling investigation, undercover FBI

agents and informants played a key role in Dodgin's arrest. In fact,
one of the FBI agents who filed affidavits in the case against Dodgin
also signed paperwork in connection with the ****fighting probes.
According to FBI affidavits, Dodgin was involved in "other criminal

activity" and other persons may have been involved in his activities.
The FBI probe into gambling and other raids by state authorities

that shut down a pair of alleged brothels last year were conducted
within the jurisdiction of the local sheriff's department, which wasn't
invited to take part due to security concerns.
When asked if the FBI probes are related or if other employees of

the ****e County Sheriff's Department are suspects in illegal
activities, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of
Tennessee declined to comment.
"The facts and details surrounding the investigations cannot be

discussed at this time," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Russ
Dedrick. "I can't comment on any of those particular issues."
Image problems
The men and women who wear the badge of the ****e County
Sheriff's Department are feeling a bit like targets these days, and
they're not happy about it.
Sheriff's spokesman Michael McCarter, in fact, has a message for

both East Tennessee and the rest of the country regarding the FBI
operations, both of which drew national attention.
The ****e County sheriff's department isn't corrupt, he says, and

deputies aren't out dealing drugs in the community or protecting
illegal gambling operations.
"It's a hard thing to be looked upon by your community as if all are

as guilty as one," McCarter said last week while discussing Dodgin's
arrest. "We've got a lot of people who wake up every day of their
lives to risk their lives to save another. ... The officers are right now
just coming out of their shells."
In fact, Sheriff D.C. Ramsey wants to cooperate with the FBI and
other agencies and it's insulting to have been excluded from the
recent gambling and prostitution probes, McCarter says.
"It's hurtful because we've done our best to fortify our image at this
department," he said.
Dedrick said the federal government has a good record of working

with ****e County authorities and plans to continue doing so when
circumstances call for it.
"The U.S. Attorney's Office tried to encourage all local law

enforcement agencies to work with and in support of federal
efforts," he said. "I think, from the U.S. attorney's perspective,
there is a demonstrated record of working with all local law
enforcement agencies, including ****e County law enforcement
agencies, and we would want to do that in every case where it's
appropriate."
One question that's been raised is how two of the largest alleged
****fighting pits in the country were able to operate for so many
years within the jurisdiction of the sheriff's department.

According to McCarter, the answer is simple: no one complained.
"We have reviewed our records at the sheriff's department and

we've not received any complaints at this Del Rio location of any
fights, any car accidents, any disagreements, any vandalisms," he
said. "We like to know what's going on in the community. We have
never received any notices from anyone in the community that it
was a problem.
"If we receive complaints, we're going to investigate if it be an

illegal operation of any sort."
McCarter also said that a lack of resources has forced the

department to prioritize investigations. The agency has a law
enforcement budget of only $1.7 million and 36 deputies to cover
more than 430 square miles, which means that hard decisions
sometimes have to be made about whether officers should focus on
misdemeanor crimes like ****fighting or aggressively pursue drugs
and homicides, he said.
McCarter also said the department has taken a proactive approach

to problems through neighborhood watch programs, a school
resource officer program that was put in place before the 1999
Columbine massacre and aggressive investigations into illegal drugs
and auto theft.
"We're the first department that ever joined the 4th Judicial District
Drug Task Force, because Sheriff Ramsey saw a problem with drugs
in the community," he said. "Our daily average jail population has
gone from 43 to 170 inmates (since Ramsey took office)."
Crime statistics from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation show

that the territory covered by Ramsey's department has a homicide
rate nearly 10 times that of Knox County, which is significantly
larger.
Last year, in fact, there were five murders in the ****e sheriff's
jurisdiction — which has a population of about 27,000 — while only
four were recorded in the population of about 220,000 patrolled by
the Knox department, according to the TBI.
McCarter cautioned against drawing too many conclusions from the

homicide rate, saying that cases need to be looked at on an
individual basis. He also pointed out that investigators have solved
the vast majority of slayings that have occurred since Ramsey took
office.
"We are blessed with good people here," he said. "We are a loving
community, a tight-knit community of people helping and giving."
Fighting its past
The recent investigations into prostitution and ****fighting may

represent the last gasps of an outlaw tradition that has made ****e
County's name synonymous with moonshine, marijuana, auto theft
and public corruption, officials say.
District Attorney General Al Schmutzer Jr., who was first elected in

1974 and immediately dived into the dangerous task of curbing the
county's lawless elements, said that things have greatly improved.
When Schmutzer first took office, houses of prostitution were

commonplace and operated openly. Chop shops, marijuana growing
and other types of criminal activity were also endemic, but years of
steady enforcement curtailed many of the problems.
"I found that the good people of ****e County way outnumbered
the criminal element," he said. "I think there was a large criminal
element that was able to control a lot of what went on in the county
and protect their interests."
When asked about the two bars that were padlocked after a TBI
sting in 2004 caught prostitutes operating from them, Schmutzer
said that initial descriptions of the operations as comparable to
those seen in days past were a "premature assessment."
"Those places of prostitution were a mere shadow of what was

going on back in 1974," he said. "Those and the ****fights are
probably the last vestiges of a lot of what was going on in ****e
County when I took office."
Although some criminals felt threatened enough by Schmutzer to

take out a contract on his life, the prosecutor said he doesn't
believe he should be praised for cleaning up the area.
"I give credit to the people of ****e County," he said.
As if to underscore Schmutzer's assertion that vice is quietly dying

away in the county, one of the bars that was recently shuttered by
court order — Brenda's Lounge on the outskirts of Newport — has
been painted white and a sign saying "Ye must be born again"
hangs on the front door.
Sheriff's officials say the building is now a church.
The ****e County way
Despite the best efforts of county leaders and citizens, however, the
legacies of the past can be hard to live down, especially in a rural
community that has a defiant tradition of doing things its own way.
Many of the county's past and present leaders — including two

sheriffs, a state representative, a county attorney and a criminal
court judge — have faced criminal charges over the past 35 years.
Even Sheriff Ramsey, who beat out a crowded field of candidates
for sheriff in 1998, has an arrest record.
In 1970, then-Constable Ramsey and several other law

enforcement officers were indicted by a federal grand jury for

allegedly extorting money from DUI suspects, records show.
Ramsey was later convicted and sentenced to prison but
successfully appealed, allowing him to re-enter law enforcement
with a clean slate.
He was also arrested for allegedly possessing moonshine in Knox

County in 1961 but the charge was dismissed.
Ramsey worked at the Newport Police Department until he became

sheriff. Almost immediately after taking office, he found himself
embroiled in a heated controversy and criminal probe into whether
he'd lied about having obtained a high school diploma.
The fact that Ramsey — who has repeatedly declined interview

requests from the News Sentinel since taking office — ended up in
hot water as a young man hasn't fazed his constituency. He easily
won re-election in 2002 and doesn't plan on running again, officials
said.
Although the sheriff's race hasn't officially begun, some expect

Ramsey's nephew, Chief Deputy Patrick Taylor, to make a bid for
the office.
Taylor declined to be interviewed for this story.
According to public records obtained by the News Sentinel from the

state Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Taylor has apparently been
drawing a paycheck from a Newport liquor store owned by his wife,
Patricia, since she purchased the store in early 2001 for $375,000.
Taylor was first approved for a state-issued permit to sell alcohol as

an employee of the business, West End Package Store, in 2001,
ABC records show.
Several other former or current employees of the sheriff's office —

including McCarter — have also been issued liquor permits as store
employees since the business was taken over by Taylor's wife,
records show.
All the permits for sheriff's office employees have expired except for
the one held by Taylor, records indicate.
Although it would be illegal for a county employee to own a liquor

store, there are no state laws that prohibit law enforcement officers
from holding off-premise liquor permits or working in one,
according to Sharon Oglesby, administrative assistant at the state
ABC office in Nashville.
"As long as the employee hasn't been convicted of a felony in the

last five years or any crime involving alcoholic beverages, they can
get a (permit)," she said.
When asked about Taylor's liquor license, McCarter said he doubted

that the chief deputy had one but added that he didn't know for

sure. He also insisted there was no impropriety or conflict of

interest in the practice and admitted that he once worked at the
store.
"It's inconsequential," he said. "What if he (Taylor) worked at Wal-

Mart? There's no difference."
Although it's legal for a law enforcement officer to work at a place

that makes most of its money from alcohol sales, some
departments condemn it as a conflict of interest and prohibit their
officers from doing so.
"It's forbidden," said Martha Dooley, spokeswoman for the Knox

County Sheriff's Office. "We feel it's not appropriate. Those types of
establishments tend to have problems that law enforcement has to
come in and solve."
Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk echoed

Dooley's comments. Liquor stores and other places that sell alcohol
come up frequently during police investigations into crimes like
underage alcohol sales and driving under the influence, he said.
"It creates a conflict," he said.
Determined to succeed
In a way, the FBI's actions couldn't have come at a worse time.

****e County has been striving for years to overcome its
reputation as the vice capital of East Tennessee by growing its
economy and focusing on good news, such as how the county came
together in opposition to a 2002 Ku Klux Klan rally.
County Mayor Iliff McMahan Jr., for instance, said the recent
negative publicity is unfair because most people in the county are
law-abiding citizens.
"I just don't like seeing a community judged by a couple of

anomalies," he said. "When people in other communities make
choices to make fun of people, they should remember that we all
live in very fragile glass houses, and we should be cautious about
how we throw stones.
"We might be an easy target at this point, but we're not letting that
deter us from keeping on the course of sustainable growth and
improving our community."
According to McMahan, the county is making steady progress

toward creating a vibrant economy "where families can raise their
children without TennCare or pulling food stamps."
"The general feeling is that we're embarrassed because it's a black

eye in a community that's traditionally had good family values," he
said. "We're in the middle of the Bible Belt, and you couldn't find
better Christian people living than those living in ****e County."

McMahan said he doesn't believe there is "a widespread conspiracy

of law enforcement." He also said he has faith that no more officers
will be arrested.
Nonetheless, McMahan acknowledges that the FBI's actions have

created a sense of uneasiness. "People in ****e County are, quite
bluntly, waiting for the other shoe to drop," he said.

Deputy charged with drug trafficking
FBI: ****e lawman tried to buy cocaine from undercover agent

Registered: Jul 2003 http://www3.knoxnews.com/kns/local_...3869982,00.html
Location:
June 21, 2005
A ****e County Sheriff's Office deputy allegedly used drugs, sold

drugs and even told a known drug dealer how to avoid being
caught, according to complaints filed Monday in federal court.
Larry Joe Dodgin, 26, of Parrottsville, was arrested Friday by the

FBI and charged with possession of more than 500 grams of
cocaine with the intent to distribute.
Both Dodgin and his alleged accomplice, Jeremy Scott Jones, of

Newport, made their initial appearances Monday before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Dennis Inman at the federal courthouse in
Greeneville.

Dodgin waived his right to a preliminary hearing, and Inman

ordered him to be jailed pending trial after listening to arguments
from his court-appointed attorney, Russell Pryor.
Pryor argued that Dodgin was not a flight risk because he is a life-
long resident of East Tennessee with relatives in Sevier and ****e
counties. In addition, Pryor said, "he has been a ****e County
deputy for some time."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith told the court that Dodgin faces
a prison term of 5 to 40 years upon conviction and a fine of up to
$2 million.
Inman said federal law presumes that a defendant facing drug

charges and a prison sentence of more than 10 years is a danger to
the community. He also said there is nothing extraordinary about
the case "except that he is a deputy in ****e County which makes
it very extraordinary."
"His position as a deputy exacerbates the situation, and if there is

no contradictory evidence from the defendant, he is presumed to be
a danger to the community," Inman ruled.
Smith said that Jones, 26, could face life in prison if convicted and
cited his past convictions for cocaine dealing in ****e County as
evidence that "there is no condition or combination of conditions
that would reasonably guarantee the safety of the community."
A preliminary hearing and detention hearing for Jones have been

scheduled for today. Inman appointed attorney Douglas Payne to
represent him.
According to affidavits from FBI agents Sandra Farrow and Thomas

Farrow, the two men were acquaintances who conspired to buy a
large amount of cocaine from an undercover FBI agent.
"Dodgin has admitted to other law enforcement officers that he has

been in regular contact with Jones, a known trafficker," according to
one of the affidavits. "Other confidential sources have advised that
Dodgin has provided information to Jones concerning law
enforcement activities, to include search warrants and arrests.
"Jones is also known to have supplied Dodgin with illegal drugs for
Dodgin's personal use, and Dodgin told cooperating witnesses that
he has distributed illegal drugs."
It's unclear from the affidavits when the FBI began investigating
Dodgin, but on March 30 an undercover FBI agent met with Dodgin
and "another man" in Newport. Dodgin and the agent later met in
Asheville, N.C., with the agent posing as a drug dealer who could
provide Dodgin and Jones with large quantities of cocaine.
"Dodgin advised that he had previously witnessed cocaine in his

friend's possession in the past and had advised him to move the
cocaine to another location as to avoid a possible search warrant
being executed," records say.
On June 2, Dodgin and Jones allegedly tried to buy three kilograms

of cocaine from an undercover agent, but the deal was called off
because "the person who was to fund the deal did not provide Jones
the money," according to records.
Last Friday, Dodgin allegedly met with an FBI agent near Exit 417
of Interstate 40 in Dandridge to purchase three kilograms of
cocaine for $60,000, records show. He was arrested after allegedly
completing the deal.
"Dodgin told the undercover agent that Jones was in the area," the
affidavit states. "Dodgin acknowledged that several calls to his cell
phone shortly after he was taken into custody were from Jones."
One affidavit also mentions a taped phone conversation between

Dodgin and the undercover agent where they discussed "other
criminal activity" but doesn't describe what the alleged activity was.
The documents filed in federal court also provide no clues as to the

identity of the person who had initially agreed to fund the aborted
June 2 transaction.
****e County Sheriff D.C. Ramsey said Monday that he had spoken
with Dodgin's family and was told the deputy might resign in the
near future. In the meantime, he said, Dodgin will be without a
paycheck from the department.
"He's on administrative leave without pay until his trial," Ramsey

said. "Under the law, he's innocent until proven guilty."
Dodgin's arrest sent shock waves through ****e County, a close-

knit rural community that has long had a reputation as a haven for
criminal activity.
Over the past several months, state and federal agents have
launched crackdowns on prostitution and illegal gambling in ****e
County, and the operations were generally conducted without the
involvement of local law enforcement agencies.
The accusations against the deputy came only days after a massive
gambling raid near the Del Rio community led to criminal charges
being filed against 143 people for ****fighting. The U.S.
Department of Justice is trying to seize the property as well as
another alleged ****fighting outfit in Newport, records show.
Federal authorities haven't disclosed whether the probes are

related, but FBI agent Thomas Farrow signed one of the affidavits in
the Dodgin case as well as both forfeiture complaints filed in
connection with the gambling probe.
On Monday, ****e County residents were abuzz with rumors that

other law enforcement officers had either resigned or been

arrested, officials said.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Michael McCarter said no one from the

department had stepped down and he had "no idea" where the
rumors were coming from.
"It's not true," he said. "When it rains, it pours. When you have an
officer arrested, it just starts a lot of people speculating and saying
this, that and the other."

NEWPORT, Tenn. - A ****e County jailer charged with taking part

in a drug conspiracy had only been working at the Sheriff's
Department for about a month before he was ensnared in a federal
sting, records show.
Corrections officer Derrick Lynn Cureton, 20, was hired by the

Sheriff's Department on June 22, 2004, and allegedly drove to
Atlanta and Miami to smuggle drug money on July 29, according to
his personnel file and an FBI affidavit.
Cureton was arrested last week as part of an ongoing probe into

corruption and organized crime in ****e County. He faces

attempted money laundering and conspiracy charges.
Through his attorney, Joanne Sheldon, Cureton has advised the

Sheriff's Department that he is taking a leave of absence pending
resolution of the charges, according to jail administrator and
department spokesman Michael McCarter.
He won't be paid while on leave, but is entitled to any vacation or

compensatory time he's accrued, McCarter said.
Cureton allegedly conspired with former Deputy Larry Joe Dodgin,

26, in a scheme to smuggle $80,000 in drug money and $250,000
in fake bonds to Miami, according to federal court documents.
Cureton and Dodgin allegedly were paid money for their trip to
Miami and discussed recruiting other deputies in the plot.
Dodgin was arrested June 17 after trying to buy $60,000 worth of

cocaine from an undercover FBI agent. Dodgin resigned and
pleaded guilty two weeks later and is cooperating with state and
federal authorities investigating numerous alleged crimes in ****e
County.
The four-year probe has included drug trafficking, organized

gambling, chop-shop operations, the hijacking of "interstate
shipments," prostitution, corruption and racketeering, according to
the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The agencies involved in the probe are the FBI, the Tennessee
Bureau of Investigation, the Tennessee Highway Patrol's Criminal
Investigation Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the IRS and the
office of Fourth Judicial District Attorney General Al Schmutzer Jr.

A ****e County Sheriff's Department deputy resigned the day

before he pleaded guilty to sidelining as an armed cocaine dealer.
Larry Joe Dodgin, 26, submitted a letter of resignation to Sheriff D.

C. Ramsey on June 30, according to department spokesman Michael
McCarter.
In his handwritten letter to his superiors, Dodgin said he wanted his

mother to receive "all funds, retirement benefits, and any other
monies which I have earned, accrued or are due to me."
McCarter said Dodgin had earned "a retirement benefit" during his
five-plus years at the department but he wasn't sure how much it
added up to.
Dodgin was arrested June 17 after allegedly trying to buy $60,000

worth of cocaine from an FBI agent. He pleaded guilty two weeks
later in U.S. District Court in Greeneville to conspiring to distribute
cocaine and possession of a gun during a drug transaction.
Dodgin agreed to cooperate with federal authorities engaged in a

massive probe into organized criminal activity in ****e County. The
four-year investigation has focused on drug trafficking, organized
gambling, chop shop operations, the hijacking of "interstate
shipments," prostitution, corruption and racketeering, according to
the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Over the past few months, multiagency task forces have raided two
bars that allegedly functioned as houses of prostitution as well as a
****fighting pit near Del Rio.
The bars were padlocked and federal authorities have moved to

seize both the ****fighting pit near Del Rio and a second pit near
Newport, arguing that the facilities were multimillion-dollar illegal
gambling enterprises.

A second ****e County sheriff’s employee was arrested today as
the result of a four-year federal probe.
Derrick Lynn Cureton, 20, assigned to the jail in downtown

Newport, was arrested by the FBI on charges of attempted money
laundering and conspiracy.
Cureton faces a federal court hearing Friday in Greeneville.
Sheriff’s deputy Larry Joe Dodgin admitted last month that he

sidelined as an armed drug dealer.
On June 17, Dodgin met an undercover FBI agent in Dandridge,

exchanged cash for 3 kilograms of cocaine and was arrested.
Dodgin’s alleged accomplice, Jeremy Scott Jones, was arrested and

is also scheduled to appear today in federal court in Greeneville.
At a court appearance for Dodgin in June, assistant U.S. Attorney

Nancy Harr said his arrest stemmed from a probe that has included
"numerous criminal violations" including drug trafficking, organized
gambling, chop shop operations, the hijacking of "interstate
shipments," prostitution, corruption and racketeering.
Harr told federal Judge J. Ronnie Greer that Dodgin's arrest resulted
from an ongoing probe by the FBI, the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation, the Tennessee Highway Patrol's Criminal
Investigation Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office and District
Attorney General Al Schmutzer Jr. into illegal activities in ****e

County — the same agencies involved in the investigation of

Cureton.
Dodgin has struck a deal with prosecutors, agreeing to plead guilty

to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and possession of a gun during a
drug transaction.
According to his plea agreement, Dodgin has agreed to fill in federal

authorities on everything he knows about crime in ****e County.
He also is agreeing to testify before any federal grand jury and, if
needed, at any trial that may result.
Dodgin’s arrest came on the heels of a massive, multi-agency raid

of a ****fighting pit in Del Rio on June 11 that federal court
records indicate was, along with a second ****e County
****fighting pit, the site of a multi-million dollar illegal gambling
operation.
Federal authorities are seeking to seize both.
Authorities issued citations to 143 people from several states.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - A ****e County Sheriff's Department jailer

was released on $25,000 bond Friday after being arrested on
conspiracy and money laundering charges by the FBI.
Corrections officer Derrick Lynn Cureton, 20, appeared before U.S.

Magistrate Judge Dennis H. Inman, who lectured him at length on
the importance of staying out of trouble while free on bond.
Advertisement
"Contrary to popular mythology, you don't have an absolute right to

be released on bail," Inman told Cureton.
Pending trial, Cureton must take drug tests, stay away from
firearms and live in the home of his uncle, Newport attorney Fred
Myers, who agreed to make sure that Cureton complies with the
terms of his release.
"If you violate any of these conditions, to jail you go," Inman said.
"Mr. and Mrs. Myers have stuck out their necks for you, and in a
real way, you're the person holding the ax."
Cureton also must report all contacts he has with law enforcement
officers. It wasn't immediately clear how the judge's orders would
affect his status as a ****e County jail employee.
Cureton, who was represented in court by Joanne Sheldon, is one of

two sheriff's employees accused in FBI documents of traveling to
Atlanta and Miami as part of a plot to move $80,000 in illegal drug
money and $250,000 in fake bonds last year.
Cureton was arrested Thursday while at work and charged with

three separate money laundering and conspiracy offenses.
Two of the crimes carry 20-year maximum sentences, while the

third offense carries a prison term of up to five years, Assistant U.S.
Attorney Neil Smith said. Also, each offense carries a potential fine
of up to $250,000.
Several of Cureton's relatives who attended the hearing gasped as

Smith described the potential penalties. Cureton's grandfather, Billy
Pat Cureton, said the young man recently completed a year of
studies at East Tennessee State University.
"He always wanted to be a police officer, but I guess that's over

now," he said.

Inman set an Aug. 10 court date for further proceedings but

stressed that he was unsure if Cureton's next court appearance
would be for a preliminary hearing or an arraignment.
Inman told Cureton there is a "practically 100 percent" chance that

he will be indicted by a federal grand jury that meets Aug. 9.
The FBI alleges that Cureton partnered with former deputy Larry
Joe Dodgin, 26, in a drug trafficking operation and planned to
involve other sheriff's department employees in the plot.
The arrest of Cureton, who has worked at the jail for about one
year, was the latest development in a four-year probe into public
corruption and organized crime in ****e County. Dodgin was
arrested last month for conspiring to buy three kilograms of cocaine
from an undercover FBI agent.
On July 29, 2004, Dodgin and Cureton drove from Newport to

Atlanta with an unnamed third person as part of a conspiracy to
transport illegal drug funds, according to an affidavit filed by FBI
Special Agent Thomas Farrow.
They were carrying $80,000 "in what Dodgin and Cureton believed
to be drug proceeds," the complaint alleges.
They met with an undercover FBI agent in Atlanta, who "provided

them with a vehicle equipped with a highly sophisticated
compartment designed for secreting cash and/or illegal narcotics,
as well as an additional $250,000 in (fake) bonds," according to the
complaint.
The three people then traveled to Miami, with Cureton allegedly

driving the car provided by the agent. When they reached southern
Florida, they allegedly handed over the car, money and bonds to a
pair of undercover FBI agents, the complaint says.
"The three individuals were paid for their services," the complaint
states. "Dodgin was paid $2,000, and Cureton was paid $1,000."
After making the delivery, Dodgin and Cureton opted to stay in

Miami for another day to hold a "planning session" with the
undercover agents "about future opportunities to transport and
protect drug proceeds."
Federal authorities recorded "plans to transport/guard vehicles,

move money and involve more members of the ****e County
Sheriff's (Department)," the complaint says.
The complaint states that Cureton was working with "others known
and unknown," but it doesn't indicate whether the other alleged
conspirators were fellow law enforcement officers.

****e club a common link
THE SHACK: Members include target of corruption probe

Location:
July 31, 2005
DEL RIO, Tenn. -- Several people targeted in a federal probe into

corruption in ****e County are members of the same private club
in Del Rio.
The club, an affiliate of the international Fraternal Order of Eagles,

is at The Shack Market & Deli on Asheville Highway.
The alleged owners of an illegal ****fighting pit, ****e County

Sheriff D.C. Ramsey and other top-ranking members of his
department are members of the FOE lodge, according to records.
In fact, Donald Poteat of Morganton, N.C., who owns the pit, and
Michael Maynard of Hot Springs, N.C., who recently sold the
property to Poteat, joined the lodge on the same day as Ramsey in
early 2000, records from the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission
show.
Another member is Raymond E. Hawk, a convicted car thief and

owner of an auto-parts store in Newport. Hawk managed the FOE
lodge until 2000, when the club moved from Newport to The Shack,
which was owned by Sheriff Ramsey's brother, John Dale Ramsey,
records show.

Other members of the private club include the sheriff's nephew and
chief deputy, Patrick Taylor, and jail administrator Michael McCarter.
Memberships -- which cost $15 each -- are also held by at least

four other deputies or sheriff's department employees; Assistant
Newport Police Chief Don Ball; two other Newport officers; and
other local officials.
Sheriff Ramsey and Chief Deputy Taylor have repeatedly declined

interview requests through McCarter, who also is the department's
spokesman.
But other officials pointed out that the nonprofit club, which has
240 members, is a popular eatery in a rural area with few
competitors.
McCarter described the lodge as being "no different" from other

state-licensed private clubs that are allowed to sell liquor.
"It's the only place in Del Rio to eat," McCarter said. "It's real good
food. That's why there's so many people from North Carolina."
The international Fraternal Order of Eagles organization, however,

has launched an investigation into the Del Rio post and could
revoke the club's charter should any wrongdoing be found, said
state FOE Executive Committee spokeswoman Gwen Cole.
The probe was begun last week after the News Sentinel contacted
the state FOE organization after obtaining membership lists for the
Del Rio lodge.
The club was already under investigation for a possible violation of

FOE rules, Cole said, and FOE board members are concerned about
the memberships granted to Hawk, Poteat and Maynard.
"Each club is governed by our local, state and (national) bylaws and
constitution," she said. "Each individual club has their house rules.
Each member is encouraged to sign a new member of good
character that is without a felony conviction and background. ...
Each club's interviewing committee is responsible for this task."?
Although federal authorities aren't disclosing many details of their

probe, it's become clear that the investigation is one of the largest
of its type in East Tennessee history. It's also reminiscent of a
series of federal probes that began in the early 1980s and
ultimately landed nearly a dozen county sheriffs in prison, including
then-****e County Sheriff Bobby Stinson.
The investigation has allegedly uncovered drug trafficking, chop

shop operations, the hijacking of interstate shipments, organized
gambling, prostitution, and racketeering, according to federal
prosecutors.
There also are allegations of criminal acts in North Carolina, Georgia

and Florida in addition to ****e County. Two of Sheriff Ramsey's

officers have been arrested by the FBI on drug trafficking charges
in the past few weeks, and one of them has already admitted in
federal court to dealing cocaine. Also, Ramsey's department wasn't
invited to a recent series of raids that uncovered a pair of brothels
and a multimillion dollar illegal gambling operation that were
allegedly thriving in his jurisdiction.
Other raids have targeted an auto-parts store, a flower shop and

the home of a Newport Police Department captain.
Since the investigation began about four years ago, criminal

charges have been filed against at least 168 people as state and
federal agents have cracked down on illegal gambling, illegal liquor
sales, prostitution, drug trafficking and other crimes.
Last week, subpoenas were issued to the ****e County Sheriff's

Department and the ****e County Trustee's Office seeking records
dating back to 2001 for the county's drug fund.
Federal officials also subpoenaed Chief Deputy Taylor.
Authorities could not be reached to discuss the nature of the

subpoenas.
**Private clubs such as the FOE lodge #4350 in Del Rio operate
through a provision of state law that allows liquor-by-the-drink
sales on the premises when such sales are otherwise prohibited by
county statute, officials said.
Terry Hill, agent-in-charge of the state Alcoholic Beverage

Commission office in Knoxville, said that many private clubs are
operated through nonprofit organizations such as the FOE.
Only club members or their guests are allowed in private clubs, he

said. "It's supposed to be exclusively for their members, nothing
that's open to the public," he said.
The FOE lodge operated from a Newport address in the late 1990s
and was managed by Hawk, a convicted car thief who also served
as the aerie's president. Records indicate the club was viewed as a
potential problem at the time by some local law enforcement
officials. A 1997 memo from a special agent with the beverage
commission indicates that then-Sheriff Tunney Moore "and
numerous other people would like to see this club denied, due to
the reputation of some of the people involved."
The club moved to its present location at The Shack in late 1999 or
early 2000 because of complaints from nearby homeowners about
"traffic and noise," documents show. There it was initially operated
by Hollis Stinson and John Dale Ramsey, whose brother, D.C.
Ramsey, had been elected sheriff in 1998.
John Ramsey owned the property, records show, and was to be

paid $1,000 a month from the FOE as part of a lease agreement.
Stinson is the manager and vice president of the aerie, and John
Ramsey serves as the club's president. They didn't return phone
calls seeking comment.
Sheriff Ramsey, Poteat and Maynard joined the aerie on Feb. 3,

2000, as part of a group of 24 people who were among the first
members to be accepted at the new location.
Applicants seeking to join the club must submit petitions that are
then voted on by other members, records show.
Beverage commission records indicate that Sheriff Ramsey and

Chief Deputy Taylor have been active members in the club,
attending major aerie meetings and playing roles in decision-
making.
County Mayor Iliff McMahan Jr., who joined the club before he was
elected in 2002, said he's never met Poteat or Maynard.
"All of those people I don't know," he said. "I wouldn't know them if
I fell over them."
McMahan said he gave "a donation" to the Del Rio club several
years ago and hasn't given any money since then. He said he
researched the international FOE organization before donating
money to ensure they were a reputable organization.
"I've taken my wife and family up there many times to eat steaks,"
he said. "I've gone up there many times." ?
Hawk, whose name remains on the Eagles club's membership

roster, runs an auto-parts business on Willis Road that has been
targeted as part of the ongoing federal probe. Hawk couldn't be
reached for comment.
The business, H-1 Auto Parts, was raided in February 2004 by

agents who executed a federal search warrant, Assistant U.S.
Attorney Neil Smith confirmed.
Smith said he couldn't discuss the search warrant because it has

been sealed.
Hawk, 51, has a criminal history that dates back to 1983 when he
was convicted of two felonies for concealing and receiving a stolen
car. During a bond hearing in that case, a ****e County judge
alluded to other criminal investigations related to auto thefts in
which Hawk's name had been mentioned.
"There is reason to believe he is a professional criminal," the judge

said. "He operated without a license, he had no sales tax number,
he had no books, he had no records."
In 1993, Hawk was arrested after a car chase in ****e County. The

arresting officers allegedly found stolen auto parts in his truck and
charged him with aggravated assault for allegedly running a
roadblock that had been set up to catch him, according to court
records.
He eventually pleaded guilty to several misdemeanors including

theft under $500, evading arrest and possession of auto parts with
an altered or removed vehicle identification number.
In 1999, Circuit Court Judge Ben Hooper II restored Hawk's

citizenship rights after Hawk petitioned that he was "a family man,
a home owner, and a businessman."
Hawk also is an associate of Grant Williams. The two told of

motorcycling together in recent testimony about a fatal traffic
accident they witnessed. Williams, 29, has a lengthy record of theft-
related crimes, according to court records. In recent weeks, federal
authorities have raided a flower shop owned by his in-laws and the
home of his father, Newport Police Department Capt. Theodore
Williams.
Newport Police Chief Maurice Shults said that Capt. Williams

remains "on the job and is doing a good job."
"The only thing I could say is that I'm aware they have served a
search warrant at his house, and I haven't received any information
that implicates Capt. Williams in any criminal investigation," Shults
said.
**Sheriff's spokesman McCarter said that it's hazardous to draw

conclusions about possible associations between people who are
Eagles members.
He pointed out that the FOE makes donations to many charitable

causes, including money that's donated to help child burn victims.
When asked whether he knew Poteat or Maynard, he replied: "I've

never met them. I don't know who they are." He said he has met
Hawk but doesn't know him on a personal level.
When asked whether he knew how memberships were granted,

McCarter said he wasn't active in the club's operations.
"A lot of people are just dues-paying members, like I am," he said.
"The last time I went to The Shack was election night (in 2002)."
According to the minutes of an aerie meeting turned in to the

beverage commission by the Del Rio club, McCarter was nominated
to serve as club treasurer last summer. McCarter insisted that the
minutes were wrong and denied being involved in the club's affairs.
"I wasn't there," he said. "I don't know who prepared the minutes."
McCarter also showed the News Sentinel his personal electronic

calendar from June 2004 that shows no mention of an FOE meeting

that day.
He also blasted Knoxville media outlets for allegedly making it "a

point to target ****e County."
"It's ludicrous to think that (Knoxville media outlets) have nothing

better to do than to try to tarnish ****e County," he said.
"We all live under one God, and we're no better and no worse than
anywhere else in the United States. But I'll tell you one thing -- I
wouldn't trade ****e County for 10 Knox Counties. We don't have
the drive-by shootings, we don't have meth labs blowing up on the
interstate. ... I think (Knoxville media) have covered ****e County
better than they've covered the war in Iraq."

Navigatr1 Jailer likely to plead guilty in drug scheme

Extended Sabatical
Jailer likely to plead guilty in drug scheme
Man, 20, accused of aiding ****e County deputy in operation

Location:
August 15, 2005
NEWPORT, Tenn. - A ****e County jailer accused of aiding a patrol

officer in a drug trafficking operation is expected to plead guilty this
morning in federal court.
Derrick Lynn Cureton, 20, was arrested last month at the ****e
County Jail on attempted money laundering and conspiracy charges.

He is accused of traveling to Atlanta and Miami last summer with

former ****e County Deputy Larry Joe Dodgin as part of a scheme
to transport $80,000 in cash and $250,000 in fake bonds. The plot,
however, was actually a sting operation by undercover FBI agents,
who also allegedly taped them discussing how to guard future
shipments and the possibility of recruiting other deputies to help
them.
Cureton, who was a newly hired jailer when the alleged incident
occurred, was freed on bond the day following his arrest and has
been staying with relatives.
Dodgin was arrested June 17 after buying 3 kilograms of cocaine

from an undercover FBI agent. He pleaded guilty and is cooperating
with federal and state authorities investigating crime in ****e
County.
The four-year probe has uncovered drug trafficking, chop-shop

operations, the hijacking of interstate shipments, organized
gambling, prostitution, public corruption and racketeering,
according to federal prosecutors.
The probe, which has relied heavily on undercover agents,

informants and wiretaps, became public knowledge shortly after a
massive June 11 raid at an illegal ****fighting pit near Del Rio.
Federal prosecutors then moved to seize both the Del Rio pit and a
second alleged ****fighting operation near Newport, the 440
****fight Pit, arguing in court papers that they were illegal
gambling operations.
Additional raids have targeted an auto parts shop, a flower store,

several taverns, the home of a Newport Police Department captain
and at least two buildings where electronic gaming devices were
stored.
Other recent developments include:
# Patrick Taylor, nephew of ****e County Sheriff D.C. Ramsey and

the department's chief deputy, has gone on medical leave,
according to department spokesman Michael McCarter. Taylor, who
was subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury Aug. 9,
recently has been ill and is undergoing medical tests, McCarter said.
Capt. Billy Wayne Moore has assumed Taylor's duties until he is

able to return to work, McCarter said.
Also, Deputy Christopher Smith has taken a leave of absence. The

News Sentinel has asked to review Smith's personnel file under the
state Public Records Law, but department officials declined to
release the file because it's part of an ongoing internal affairs
investigation.
Officials have declined to discuss the substance of the internal

affairs probe.
# Last week, several ****e County sheriff's employees and a

Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper were notified that some of their
telephone conversations had been monitored by the FBI.
"There is a legal requirement that they be notified if their

conversations might have been intercepted," said Assistant U.S.
Attorney Neil Smith, who declined to comment on the notifications.
Court documents show that Dodgin's telephone was tapped before

his arrest, and he was recorded discussing "other criminal activity."
# A Tennessee Department of Transportation employee, George

Hicks, was assigned a court-appointed attorney last week in federal
court. Prosecutors contend he was allegedly the operator of the 440
****fight Pit, but court records indicate he has yet to be charged
with a crime.
Hicks had received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice

informing him that he was a target of the probe, court records
show. He petitioned U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis H. Inman last
Thursday to appoint him a lawyer because he is the "sole source of
monetary support" for his wife and adult daughter, who is unable to
care for herself, records state.
Hicks, a former constable, was sent to federal prison in 1983 for

conspiring with then-****e County Sheriff Bobby Stinson to import
cocaine from South America, officials said.
# State and federal authorities on Wednesday searched Newport

Games on North Street and a storage locker on Old Cosby Highway.
Authorities allegedly confiscated eight illegal gambling machines
from the storage unit, but Smith declined to discuss the raids
because the search warrants are under seal in federal court.

****e jailer quits, pleads guilty to laundering
FBI subpoenas records of deputy under probe

Location:
August 16, 2005
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - A ****e County jailer resigned four hours

after pleading guilty to a single count of attempted money
laundering Monday in federal court.
Also Monday, a ****e County Sheriff's Department official

confirmed that the FBI has taken the personnel file of Deputy
Christopher Smith as well as a videotape of a traffic stop he was
involved in.
"(The FBI) do have it," said administrative assistant Deborah

Gregg. "They subpoenaed that."
Smith has taken a leave of absence from the department pending

the outcome of an internal affairs investigation. Officials have
declined to discuss the substance of the probe.
Two sheriff's department employees have been arrested in recent

weeks by state and federal authorities who are investigating public
corruption and organized crime in ****e County.
One of them, 20-year-old Derrick Lynn Cureton, left the federal

courthouse Monday morning a convicted felon who could end up
spending the next two decades of his life in federal prison.
Although the former jailer may get probation, U.S. District Judge J.
Ronnie Greer made it clear that he could sentence the corrections
officer to 20 years behind bars.
After Greer explained the potential penalties to Cureton, he asked

the officer if he still wanted to plead guilty to a one count-
information filed by prosecutors.
"Yes, sir," Cureton replied.
Cureton was arrested at the ****e County Jail last month. He was
accused of conspiring in July 2004 with former sheriff's deputy
Larry Joe Dodgin, 26, to smuggle $80,000 in cash they believed to
be illegal drug money and $250,000 in counterfeit bonds.

The scheme, however, was an undercover sting operation by FBI

agents operating in three different states, according to court
records.
The two officers and an unidentified third person allegedly drove the
cash to Atlanta, where an FBI agent put the fake bonds and cash
into a secret compartment installed in a car the agent provided to
them. They next traveled to Miami in the two vehicles and gave the
money and bonds to a pair of undercover agents posing as drug
traffickers.
Dodgin was paid $2,000 for the trip and Cureton was paid $1,000,
records show.

cocaine from an undercover FBI agent in Dandridge. He pleaded
guilty to that offense and is cooperating with authorities.
Cureton, who admitted his guilt in court Monday, will remain free on
$25,000 bond pending a Dec. 5 sentencing hearing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith said Cureton could be sentenced

to probation or up to 20 years in prison. Cureton also faces a
maximum fine of $250,000, he said.
Greer explained to Cureton that, by pleading guilty to a felony, he

was losing many of his citizenship rights including the right to vote,
the right to hold public office and the right to possess "any kind of
firearms."
As part of his plea agreement, Cureton promised to cooperate

"fully, truthfully and completely" with investigators and to testify
before a federal grand jury or in other court proceedings.
Sheriff's department spokesman and jail administrator Michael

McCarter said Cureton tendered his resignation Monday afternoon.
McCarter described Cureton's case as a tragedy and stressed that

illegal drug activity affects "educators, firefighters and every
profession and every field."
According to McCarter, Cureton was a dependable employee who

impressed his co-workers.
"Bad choices will ultimately lead you on a path you'll regret,"

McCarter said. "It's tragic to see. This was a shocker."

Three men indicted for drug charges in ****e probe
Government also seeks forfeiture of cash seized during investigation

Location:
September 19, 2005
A four-year probe into organized crime and public corruption in

****e County led to the indictment of three men on cocaine
trafficking charges last week.
Two of the men, including ****e County school bus driver Dewey
Lynn Phillips, were already in federal custody on related charges
when a grand jury in Greeneville returned the five-count indictment
Tuesday.
Advertisement
Also indicted were Michael Carl Vassar, 53, and James Mark
Thornton, 32, both of Newport. The three men are accused of
conspiring with "others known and unknown to the grand jury" to
distribute 5 or more kilograms of cocaine between Jan. 1, 2004,
and Aug. 24, 2005.
Phillips, 50, was arrested Aug. 25 and accused in a federal

complaint of hawking "multikilogram quantities" of cocaine on a
weekly basis.
He allegedly struck cocaine deals at the ****e County garage

where school buses and other county vehicles are kept, according
to federal authorities. A search of two self-storage units rented by
Phillips uncovered 11 kilograms of cocaine, 33 "bricks of marijuana"
and $32,000, according to the FBI.
Vassar was charged Aug. 9 with federal cocaine offenses allegedly

committed in 2002 and this year. He was also accused of

possessing ammunition as a convicted felon and has been held
without bond since shortly after his arrest.
Authorities said he has a lengthy criminal history, including

convictions for distributing marijuana, trafficking in auto parts with
altered vehicle identification numbers, altering VINs on auto parts,
and mail and wire fraud.
Thornton is an inmate at the ****e County Jail, where he has been

held since June 27 on a charge of violating his probation, a jail
official said. It wasn't clear what Thornton's original charge was.
The government is also seeking to force Phillips, Vassar and

Thornton to forfeit approximately $112,000 in cash seized during
the investigation.
Three other ****e County men have been arrested on federal

charges in recent months in connection with the ongoing probe,
including two ****e County Sheriff's Department employees.
Former deputy Larry Joe Dodgin, 26, has pleaded guilty to trying to
buy $60,000 worth of cocaine from an undercover FBI agent.
Former jailer Derrick Cureton, 20, has pleaded guilty to
accompanying Dodgin to Miami in a scheme to launder illegal drug
money. A third man, convicted cocaine dealer Jeremy Scott Jones,
has admitted to conspiring with Dodgin to traffic cocaine.
Federal charges are also expected in connection with a massive

June 11 raid at a ****fighting pit near Del Rio where state troopers
issued misdemeanor citations to 143 people. Federal authorities are
trying to seize the Del Rio pit and a second alleged ****fighting pit
near Newport, arguing that the facilities were illegal gambling
operations.

Ex-****e deputy asks for change of attorney
Court-appointed lawyer has been unresponsive, letter to judge says

Registered: Jul 2003 http://www3.knoxnews.com/kns/state/...4109289,00.html
Location:
September 26, 2005
A former ****e County Sheriff's Department deputy awaiting

sentencing in a corruption case says he's telling federal authorities
everything he knows but isn't sure that his own lawyer even cares.
"I want an attorney that is willing to stand up for me and fight for
me on my behalf of my cooperation with the government," Larry
Joe Dodgin wrote in a recent letter to U.S. District Judge J. Ronnie
Greer in Greeneville.
Advertisement
Dodgin, 26, pleaded guilty in July to attempting to buy $60,000

worth of cocaine from an undercover FBI agent and has been
behind bars in Washington County since his June 17 arrest.
His arrest was part of a four-year probe by state and federal

authorities into organized crime and corruption in ****e County.
For Dodgin, who faces the possibility of spending at least a decade

in federal prison for sidelining as an armed cocaine dealer when he
was supposed to be locking up drug offenders, the issue of
cooperation is of vital importance. Under federal sentencing
guidelines, the only way he can shave time off his sentence is to
give federal authorities information about other criminals.
In the handwritten letter dated Aug. 30, Dodgin blamed no one but
himself for his predicament but said he felt the performance of
court-appointed attorney J. Russell "Russ" Pryor has been wanting.
Dodgin accused Pryor of having met with him only three times
although Dodgin had been "incarcerated for 74 days" when the
letter was written, and also said the attorney had refused to accept
his phone calls.
"Russ has not even gave (sic) me a business card," Dodgin wrote.
"I had to get his phone number and address off of an inmate here.
Russ is probably a great guy but I don't feel he has earned any of
the money that your court pays appointed attorneys!"

Dodgin said that his incarceration has been "tough on me mentally

and physically" and asked that another lawyer, Bruce Poston of
Knoxville, be appointed to represent him.
"Your honor, I have never been in trouble before and I am very

scared as to what may happen and I can't even get any of my
questions answered by my own attorney," he wrote.
Pryor said last week that he couldn't ethically discuss the specific
allegations made by Dodgin but said he was still representing the
former deputy.
"I know that the court is aware of it (Dodgin's letter)," Pryor said. "I
don't know that the court has taken or is going to take any action -
that's up to the court. As far as I know, I'm still his attorney.
"I intend to go forward and represent him at the sentencing

(hearing)."
Poston said he has been contacted by Dodgin's family about

representing him. He also said the family indicated that Greer had
rebuffed the former lawman's bid to switch lawyers.
A notation in the federal court's electronic filing system states that

"Greer will not be treating this (Dodgin's letter) as a motion."
Dodgin's sentencing hearing has been set for Oct. 17. For carrying
a firearm during a drug-trafficking offense, he faces a mandatory
minimum five-year prison term that must be served consecutively
to a five-year sentence for cocaine trafficking.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, 100 percent of

whatever sentence Dodgin gets will have to be served behind bars.
Dodgin told Greer that he has followed through on his plea

agreement with federal prosecutors by telling them everything he
knows about criminal enterprises in ****e County.
"I have 100 percent helped with all and to the best of my
knowledge," he wrote.
Dodgin also apologized to the court for his crimes and conceded
that his situation is of his own making.
"Your honor, I have done wrong and I'm very sorry I did, and not
only does it effect (sic) me but also my family, and they along with
me deserve someone who does in fact have my best interest at
heart at such a difficult time as this, which I created!" Dodgin wrote.
A second Sheriff's Department employee, jailer Derrick Lynn

Cureton, has pleaded guilty in connection with a 2004 trip to Miami
with Dodgin that was part of a scheme to launder drug money.
Both officers were snared by FBI sting operations that were part of
the ongoing ****e County probe, which has relied heavily on

undercover agents, informants and wiretaps.
The probe became public knowledge shortly after a massive June

11 raid at an illegal ****fighting pit near Del Rio. Federal
prosecutors then moved to seize both the Del Rio pit and a second
alleged ****fighting operation near Newport, the 440 ****fight Pit,
arguing in court papers that they were illegal gambling operations.
The investigation has allegedly uncovered racketeering, drug

dealing, organized gambling, chop shops, the hijacking of interstate
shipments, and prostitution.

Deputy accused of perjury, mail fraud

September 28, 2005
A ****e County Sheriff's Department deputy accused of mail fraud

and perjury was released on his own recognizance Tuesday at a
federal court hearing in Greeneville.
John Wayne "Johnny" Black, 34, of Newport, was the third ****e
County officer to be arrested on federal charges since June as part
of a four-year probe into public corruption and organized crime.
The charges against Black stem from a June 13, 2002, motorcycle

accident that injured Black and a second deputy, Jonathan Morgan.

The FBI alleges that Black filed a civil lawsuit against the Alcoa
dealership where he bought his Suzuki GSX-R1000 bike as well as
Suzuki Motor Corporation and American Suzuki Motor Corporation
as part of a fraudulent scheme to collect more than $750,000 in
damages.
Black allegedly committed perjury by claiming his injuries "were

due to defects in the motorcycle, by concealing that he had
engaged in an unsafe act at the time of the accident, and by giving
false testimony under oath in a federal court deposition as to the
cause of the accident."
Black was allegedly "performing a 'wheelie' " when he wrecked,

according to the FBI.
The accident was investigated by Newport Police Department Sgt.

James Roach Jr., who said in his report that Black "lost control as
he came up to" a stop sign and collided with Morgan's bike.
Newport Police Chief Maurice Shults said Tuesday it appeared that

Roach had properly investigated the crash. "I don't see anything
that indicates to me that he did anything other than write an
accident report based on what he was told at the scene," Shults
said.
One of Black's attorneys in the civil suit, Richard Talley, said

Tuesday he was surprised by the allegations against his client. He
also said the case was recently settled but the agreement hasn't
been filed in federal court.
"This is kind of hard to believe," he said.
Deborah Stevens, one of the lawyers representing Suzuki,

confirmed there was a settlement agreement. "This is the first time
this has ever happened to me," she said. "I don't know what our
next course of action is going to be."

September 29, 2005
A ****e County Sheriff's Department deputy accused of mail fraud

and perjury returned to work Wednesday and is expected to remain
on duty unless a federal judge deems he can no longer carry a gun,
officials said.
****e County Sheriff D.C. Ramsey said in a statement issued

through his administrative assistant that John Wayne "Johnny"
Black hasn't been suspended or placed on leave.
Black, 34, was arrested on a federal warrant Monday alleging that

he lied during the course of a civil lawsuit he filed in connection
with a 2002 motorcycle wreck that injured him and another deputy.
He was released without having to post bond.
Black was hired by the sheriff's department as a bailiff in 1996. He

began working as a patrol officer in 1997 and later became one of
the department's two K-9 officers, according to the sheriff's
department.
On Wednesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis H. Inman ruled that

Black may continue to possess firearms even if he is later indicted
by a grand jury. Inman had ruled one day earlier that Black would
only be allowed to possess guns while on pretrial release if an
indictment against him hadn't been returned.
Inman wrote that he initially felt there was no need to strip Black of
his right to possess a gun before a grand jury hears the case
because doing so "would be tantamount to terminating his
employment," records show.
A pretrial services officer, however, called Inman's attention to the

fact that federal law only prohibits a third party from giving
firearms to a person under indictment or for someone who has been
indicted to transport or receive guns "in interstate commerce,"
Inman wrote.
"A person under indictment may continue to possess the same

firearms and ammunition as he did before he was indicted," he

ruled.

A sweeping probe into public corruption and organized crime in

****e County will likely continue into next year, according to
Although the probe has already lasted for more than four years and
yielded numerous arrests - including three ****e County Sheriff's
Department officers - it's not likely to come to an end until at least
early 2006, authorities said.
Prosecutors filed a motion last week to postpone Oct. 17 sentencing

hearings for former Deputy Larry Joe Dodgin and his co-defendant,
Jeremy Scott Jones, according to court records.
Dodgin and Jones have pleaded guilty to trying to buy $60,000

worth of cocaine from an undercover FBI agent June 17 and have
been cooperating with federal and state authorities who are looking
into a wide array of alleged crimes including racketeering, drug
trafficking, stolen vehicles and gambling.

Under federal sentencing guidelines, Dodgin and Jones may be

eligible for shorter prison terms if they provide "substantial
assistance" to authorities, records show.
"Dodgin's cooperation is ongoing and is not expected to be

completed before the scheduled sentencing date (Oct. 17),"
Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith wrote in a motion filed in federal
court in Greeneville. "Investigations and prosecutions in which
Dodgin is cooperating or may cooperate will not be completed until
January 2006 at the earliest."
A similar motion was filed for Jones, and Smith wrote that
prosecutors wouldn't be able to make a sentencing recommendation
for the men until their roles in the probe are complete.
Dodgin also allegedly made a 2004 trip to Miami with then-****e

County jailer Derrick Cureton as part of a scheme to smuggle
$80,000 in cash and $250,000 in fake bonds.
Dodgin hasn't been charged in that case but Cureton has pleaded
guilty to attempted money laundering. Cureton has a Dec. 5
sentencing hearing, but no motions to postpone his case have been
filed, court records show.
Since state and federal authorities began cracking down on vice

activities in ****e County four years ago, more than 170 people
have been charged with crimes ranging from ****fighting and
prostitution to cocaine dealing and illegal liquor sales.

Man pulled from cell at ****e County Jail to give testimony

Location:
October 10, 2005
NEWPORT, Tenn. - An inmate of the ****e County Jail who was

pulled from his cell by the U.S. Marshals Service last week and
transferred to a federal holding facility will testify before a federal
grand jury Tuesday in Greeneville, records show.
The grand jury, which has been reviewing evidence for several
months as part of a four-year probe into public corruption and
organized crime in ****e County, will hear testimony from Dustin
Lee White about "his knowledge in certain matters to be
presented," according to records obtained from the ****e County
Jail through a request under the state Public Records Law.
Since at least mid-summer, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office have
been probing an Oct. 4, 2003, incident in which White was pulled
over by ****e County Sheriff's Department deputies for reckless
driving. The officers allegedly confiscated a quarter-ounce of crack
cocaine, marijuana and pills during the traffic stop.
White, 20, of Newport was charged with several criminal offenses,

but all the charges against him were dropped 10 months later when
then-Deputy Larry Joe Dodgin failed to show up in ****e County
General Sessions Court to prosecute the case, records show.
Dodgin, 26, was arrested about four months ago for trying to buy
$60,000 worth of cocaine from an undercover FBI agent and later
pleaded guilty. The former lawman has been cooperating with state
and federal authorities looking into a wide array of alleged crimes in
****e County including racketeering, drug trafficking, organized
gambling, ****fighting, chop shops and prostitution.
The News Sentinel filed Public Records requests with the sheriff's
department in July seeking information about White's case and to
review the personnel file of Deputy Chris Smith, who was one of the
deputies involved in the incident. The records were unavailable,
however, because federal authorities had seized them as part of the
corruption probe along with a videotape of the traffic stop.
At the time, Deputy Smith was taking a leave of absence while

internal affairs investigators looked into the incident, according to
sheriff's department Sgt. David Crum. Smith has since returned to
work, and the internal probe showed no evidence of wrongdoing,
Crum said.

"As far as our department goes, he's been cleared," Crum said,
adding that it was unclear precisely what type of alleged crime
federal prosecutors were investigating.
The drugs confiscated during the traffic stop have been turned over
to federal authorities, Crum said.
According to ****e County Jail records, White has a misdemeanor

arrest record and was serving time for a probation violation when U.
S. Marshals took him from the jail Oct. 4.
He was transported to the Washington County Detention Center in

Jonesborough, the main holding facility for federal prisoners in
Upper East Tennessee. Documents show that White was to be held
"in the ****e County Jail" pending his grand jury appearance, and
it was unclear what precipitated his transfer to Washington County.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith said he couldn't confirm or deny

that a federal grand jury investigation is under way because of
grand jury secrecy rules.

A ****e County Sheriff's Department deputy was indicted Tuesday

in connection with a 2002 motorcycle accident.
John Wayne "Johnny" Black, 34, of Newport, was charged with two
counts of mail fraud and one count of perjury by a federal grand
jury in Greeneville that has been hearing testimony related to a
four-year probe into public corruption and organized crime in ****e
County, records show.
On June 13, 2002, Black was injured in a motorcycle accident that

also hospitalized fellow deputy Jonathan Wayne Morgan. He
subsequently filed a civil lawsuit against the bike's manufacturer,
Suzuki Motor Corp. and American Suzuki Motor Corp., seeking
hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, according to court
records.
Federal prosecutors allege the lawsuit was part of a fraudulent

scheme to collect money from the motorcycle manufacturer. Black
is accused of lying about the cause of the crash while under oath
and then had copies of legal documents containing false statements
sent through the mail, which led to the mail fraud charges,
according to the three-count indictment.
Black was arrested Sept. 26 by the FBI and freed on his own
recognizance. He resumed his patrol duties after his release and
has been given permission by U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis H.
Inman to carry firearms pending trial.

The recent arrests of five ****e County law enforcement officers by

the FBI could lead to the dismissal of up to 21 pending criminal
cases involving the lawmen due to credibility issues raised by the
charges against them, District Attorney General Al Schmutzer said
this week.
Since June, three deputies from the ****e County Sheriff's

Department, as well as two sergeants from the Newport Police
Department, have been swept up in a federal probe into public
corruption and organized crime in the county.
The Newport Police Civil Service Board reinstated Sgts. Patrick

Sheldon and Jimmy Roach Friday evening, though their activities
will be somewhat limited under a plan developed by Newport Police
Chief Maurice Shults.
In a Thursday letter to Shults and ****e County Sheriff D.C.

Ramsey, Schmutzer asked the two law enforcement chiefs to avoid
giving the accused officers assignments that might require their
testimony in future cases until their own cases are resolved.
"These officers are innocent until proven guilty under the law, but
obviously these charges will hurt their credibility in court,"
Schmutzer wrote. "If the officer's testimony is not critical to
conviction or can be independently corroborated, we will prosecute
it. Otherwise, it will have to be dismissed."
When asked about the types of cases that are in jeopardy due to
the charges against the officers, Schmutzer said it appears that
"most of them are misdemeanors."
"Fortunately, the impact is relatively minimal because most of the

officers are uniformed (patrol) officers and are involved in
prosecuting misdemeanors," he said. "If it was an investigator that
was involved in a murder case or a crime of violence, there would
be a tremendous impact."

Examples of misdemeanor offenses include most DUIs, possession

of illegal drugs for personal use, simple assault, petty thefts and
public intoxication. Felony offenses are more serious and include
offenses such as drug dealing, burglary, rape and murder.
The first patrol officer arrested in the probe was Deputy Larry Joe
Dodgin, 26, who later resigned and pleaded guilty to sidelining as
an armed cocaine dealer. Since then, Deputy John Wayne "Johnny"
Black, 34, has been charged with mail fraud and perjury, and
Deputy Christopher Smith, 28, has been charged with stealing
property from a drug suspect. Ramsey has allowed Black and Smith
to return to work.
A ****e County jailer, 20-year-old Derrick L. Cureton, recently

resigned and pleaded guilty to attempted money laundering
charges, but his case isn't expected to affect any ****e County
prosecutions, Schmutzer said.
Roach, 29, and Sheldon, 33, had been on administrative leave

without pay since being indicted for taking money and property
from two Hispanic males following a traffic stop in March.
During Friday's hearing, Shults announced that his plan to utilize

Roach and Sheldon would comply with the federal court orders,
maintain the integrity of future cases, and also "prevent them from
being hammered to death on the witness stand."
The Civil Service Board reinstated the pair at a meeting attended by

more than 60 people. Law enforcement officers and relatives of
Roach and Sheldon made up the bulk of the crowd.
After the meeting, Shults said the officers would be placed on patrol
but be required to surrender their weapons while off duty.
Sheriff's department spokesman Michael McCarter said that most

crimes are investigated by more than one officer, which will enable
the department to present corroborating evidence in court when
needed.
"When we investigate crimes, we send as many officers as we have

available, depending on the circumstances, so we can have both the
victims' statements and the officers' statements for a jury," he said.
McCarter also pointed out that most cases are resolved through
plea bargains, adding, "I feel we can show it's the case that when
we've made arrests that the officers were doing their jobs.
"Our job is to arrest the accused, bring them before a judge, and let
the state decide what avenue of prosecution they want to proceed
with. Once they charge (a suspect), the officer has no discretion
whatsoever about what happens from that point forward."

Jury convicts ****e County deputy

GREENEVILLE — A ****e County Sheriff’s Department deputy was

convicted today of perjury and witness tampering in federal court in
Greeneville.
Deputy John Wayne "Johnny" Black, 34, faces up to 15 years in

prison and half-million dollars in fines.
Federal Judge Ronnie Greer set a sentencing hearing for July 10.
Black declined to comment.
His attorney Joanne Sheldon said, "Obviously we’re disappointed,

but we respect the jurors and their taking the time to consider
everything."
Jurors deliberated about two hours before delivering the verdict.
Black was charged in connection with a 2002 motorcycle accident in

which he and another off-duty deputy, Sgt. Jonathan Morgan, were
injured.
Federal authorities maintain that Black, who later filed a lawsuit

against his bike’s manufacturer, lied about the cause of the accident
and then tried to influence the testimony of Morgan by telling him
to "keep (to) your story" after Black was interviewed by a quartet of
FBI agents last September.
"At its core, this case is about lying ? and getting other people to lie
for you," Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith said in his opening
statement Wednesday.
Sheldon offered up another theory while describing a sheriff’s

department that was torn apart by paranoia as word spread last
year that the FBI had "a snitch" working from the inside.
"This case is simple," she said. "They (the FBI) wanted my client to
be a snitch, and he said no."
Black, a longtime deputy, is one of seven ****e County lawmen

arrested since June as part of a sweeping probe into organized
crime and public corruption known as "Operation Rose Thorn."
Sheldon argued that Black’s lawsuit was legitimate and he was

arrested because he refused to "wear a wire" at the behest of

federal authorities. "He made the agents mad," she said, referring
to a Sept. 22 meeting between Black and the FBI at the Tennessee
Highway Patrol post in Newport. "He was disrespectful."
The government alleged that Black was performing a "wheelie"

when the accident occurred but had denied driving recklessly in his
lawsuit deposition.
At the heart of the government’s case are audio recordings secretly

made by Morgan and former Newport Police Department officer
Derrick Webb. Jurors heard several recordings Wednesday in which
Black stressed to Morgan and Webb the importance of not changing
their testimony.
In the recordings, Black also expressed scorn for the FBI agents
who had questioned him.
"Son, I got hot," Black said to Morgan in one Sept. 22 recording. "I
said, ‘I know one thing, guys ? you’ins are not my friends, you’ins
are my enemies and I know that, so I’m gonna try to defend myself
as much as I can from all of you guys."
The next day, Black told Morgan: "I’ve lived a life of struggle. ?
They’re not gonna get me that easy. I won’t roll on nobody, I won’t
tell on myself, I’m not gonna do it, you know, I’ve got more pride
than that."
Webb and Morgan testified Wednesday they first lied about the
crash on Black’s behalf in order to help out "a friend" but then
carried on the alleged deception by going on to provide false
statements in depositions for Black’s civil lawsuit. They said they
notified the FBI of their false testimony last year because they
realized they had behaved unethically.
Webb said he was a reserve ****e County deputy at the time of

the accident and has since been forced to resign from a position at
the ***eon Forge Police Department due to the false statements he
initially made in the case. "I knew it was the wrong thing to do, but
I did it anyway," he said. "It’s something I’ve had to live with."
Sheldon elicited testimony from Webb, a Newport officer from 2003

until last September, that he had been working with the FBI for an
indeterminate period of time although he had first indicated his
involvement with the probe began around the time he left the
Newport agency. Webb admitted to having used an FBI recorder,
for instance, while speaking to Harold Grooms sometime before
Sept. 7, 2005.
Grooms, a prominent Democrat who helped raise more than

$64,000 for Gov. Phil Bredesen, has emerged as a target of the
Rose Thorn probe due to allegations of cocaine and marijuana
trafficking.

Sheldon attacked the credibility of Webb and Morgan by pointing

out that the government has decided not to charge them for their
false statements. She also played a tape in which Webb told an
undercover Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper that Morgan believed
the FBI would "make it painfully known" that he’d helped uncover
corruption and then back him in the upcoming sheriff’s race.
Morgan, however, denied the FBI had ever promised to support him
as sheriff. He recently picked up qualifying papers for the position,
he said, but has since opted to drop out of the race.

Times-News
GREENEVILLE - A former ****e County deputy received an eight-

year prison sentence this week for attempting to purchase 3 kilos of
cocaine from an undercover FBI agent last year.
Larry Joe Dodgin pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Greeneville

last June to a two-count information charging him with conspiracy
to distribute cocaine and possession of a firearm during a drug
trafficking offense.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Ronnie Greer sentenced Dodgin to

96 months in prison - 36 months on the drug charge and 60
months on the weapons charge - along with four years probation.
According to court records, in March 2005 an undercover FBI agent

met with Dodgin and Jeremy Scott Jones in Newport for the
purpose of discussing a cocaine purchase.
Court records state Dodgin inquired about the possibility of the

undercover agent's "organization" selling cocaine to Jones.
Over the course of several months, Dodgin contacted the

undercover agent at least six times to work out plans on how to
conduct the transaction. Eventually, the undercover agent agreed
to sell Dodgin 3 kilograms of cocaine for $60,000.
On June 17, Dodgin met the undercover agent near Exit 417 of
Interstate 40 in Dandridge and purchased a black bag containing
the cocaine.
At this point, Dodgin was taken into custody. Soon after, Dodgin
admitted that several calls to his cell phone shortly after his arrest
were from Jones.
Court records state that Dodgin brought with him to the exchange a
loaded derringer, the money and cocaine.
Court records state Dodgin has admitted to law enforcement

officers that he has been in regular contact with Jones, a known
drug trafficker, and that he has provided information to him
concerning law enforcement activities, including search warrants
and arrests. Jones has also been known to have supplied Dodgin
with illegal drugs for personal use and distribution.
Jones was convicted on Jan. 12, 2000, in ****e County Criminal

Court of sale of cocaine and possession of cocaine with the intent to
sell.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
A former ****e County sheriff is accused of being paid thousands

of dollars in exchange for protecting illegal gambling operations
while in office, FBI records show.
D.C. Ramsey, 67, allegedly sent deputies to ****fighting pits to

keep out suspicious vehicles and had those who ran the operations
warned they were being investigated by authorities, according to an
FBI affidavit filed in May 2004.
The affidavit, which was unsealed earlier this month in federal

court, sought permission to conduct a secret search of the Del Rio
****fighting Pit as part of the "Rose Thorn" corruption probe.
Authorities have been cracking down on gambling, illegal liquor

sales and prostitution in ****e County since 2001. More than 180
people have been charged, including eight local lawmen, and two
****fighting arenas were shuttered.
Ramsey, who resigned in January 2006 amid the arrests, hasn't

been charged. Ramsey and his attorney did not return calls to the
Knoxville News Sentinel for comment.
Federal prosecutors also refused to comment, citing the pending

investigation.
The affidavit outlines evidence gathered by the FBI, the Tennessee

Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The
information was obtained mainly from informants or
cooperatingwitnesses.
The "Rose Thorn" probe found three ****fighting rings in ****e

County: the Del Rio pit, the 440 ****fight Pit near Newport and
one located in Cosby.
On several occasions, deputies were allegedly seen at the pits

betting on the contests, providing security or picking up what
appeared to be payoffs to Ramsey.
For instance, an informant who went to the 440 pit in March 2003
said he talked to Ernest Arrowood Jr., who was selling tickets at the

door.
Arrowood showed him the money box and said he had more than
$8,000 in it but "once D.C. (referring to Ramsey) received his cut,
the total would be less."
Later that night,the informant saw a sheriff's deputy come into the
ring and meet with Arrowood, who gave the officer a "rolled up
paper bag."
Though FBI records do not say exactly how much money was
allegedly paid to the sheriff, the agency was told Ramsey might
have been collecting $4 or $5 per each admission ticket. The pits
routinely drew crowds of more than 200 people and held regular
animal fighting matches.
No witnesses listed in the affidavit claimed to have seen Ramsey

accept money.
In March 2002, an informant told authorities the sheriff had told

area ****fighters to shut down temporarily because the TBI was
expected to raid them.
Thefollowing year, the operator of the Cosby ****fighting operation

told an informant he was no longer "running chicken fights"
because Ramsey and Sgt. Ken Whaley had told pit operators the
business "was too hot and needed to be shut down" due to an FBI
investigation.
Whaley also had allegedly installed a private telephone line that

allowed ****fighters and liquor dealers "to call the sheriff's office
and run tags of strange cars in the area," the affidavit said.
Whaley, who works as a departmental dispatcher, said last week

the allegations were false.
"None of that is true," Whaley said. "I have no comment because I

don't know nothing about it."

Former ****e County Sheriff D.C. Ramsey may have pocketed tens
of thousands of dollars in payoffs to protect illegal gambling
operations during his term of office, according to FBI records.
The protection racket allegedly included sending deputies into area

****fighting pits, checking out suspicious vehicles around gambling
operations, and warning criminals that the FBI or the Tennessee
Bureau of Investigation was investigating them, records show.
One ****fight pit employee even bragged that he was protected

not only by the ****e County Sheriff’s Department but also could
count on being tipped off to pending raids by the Tennessee
Highway Patrol and the TBI.
The allegations are laid out in an FBI affidavit filed in May 2004
seeking permission to conduct a secret search of the legendary Del
Rio ****fighting Pit as part of the “Rose Thorn” corruption probe.
The affidavit was unsealed early this month in federal court.
Ramsey, 67, resigned in January 2006 after it was revealed in court

records that he’d been targeted by the FBI. He cited bad publicity
and health problems for his departure.
Ramsey hasn’t been charged, but his nephew and chief deputy,
Patrick Taylor, was recently sent to federal prison for a stolen
property conspiracy.
Ramsey, who lives in Del Rio, and his attorney did not return calls
for comment.
Federal prosecutors also refused to comment, citing the pending

nature of the investigation.
The 33-page affidavit by FBI Special Agent Thomas Farrow outlines

evidence gathered up to May 2004 by the FBI, the TBI and the THP.
The information was culled largely from the reports of informants or
cooperating witnesses.
The Rose Thorn probe didn’t initially focus on chicken fights, but as
the investigation progressed agents discovered there were
apparently three ****fighting rings in ****e County: the Del Rio
pit, the 440 ****fight Pit near Newport and one in Cosby.
The facilities were relatively sophisticated operations with numerous

employees, security guards and — in the case of the Del Rio pit — a
restaurant that was at one time run by Ramsey’s brother, John Dale
Ramsey, according to the FBI.
In 2001, the FBI was told that patrol officers at the Sheriff’s
Department knew “to ‘leave the ****fights alone’ as they belong to
the sheriff,” the affidavit said.
On several occasions, deputies were allegedly seen at the pits

betting on the contests, providing security, or even picking up what
appeared to be payoffs to Sheriff Ramsey.
For instance, an informant who went to the 440 pit in March 2003
said he talked to Ernest Arrowood Jr., who was selling tickets at the
door. Arrowood showed him the money box and said he had more
than $8,000 in it but “once D.C. (meaning Sheriff D.C. Ramsey)
received his cut, the total would be less.”
Later that night, the informant saw a sheriff’s deputy come into the
facility and meet with Arrowood, who gave the officer a “rolled up
paper bag.”
A month later, the same informant was told by Arrowood “they

feared undercover agents were at the chicken fights and because of
that fear, officers quit coming to the fights to pick up money.”
Arrowood said the money would be taken to Ramsey later.
Exactly how much money flowed into the sheriff’s pockets is unclear
from the documents. The FBI was advised at various points that
Ramsey might be collecting $4 or $5 per each admission ticket.
The pits routinely drew crowds of more than 200 people — the Del
Rio pit alone had bleacher seating for 500 spectators — and held
regular animal fighting matches.
No witnesses listed in the affidavit claimed to have seen Ramsey

accept money.
Also, John Dale Ramsey was apparently used as a mediator during

a 2002 dispute between rival pit operators over a fire at the Del Rio
arena that had triggered a $5,000 bounty on a man’s head, the
affidavit said.
Another figure who is mentioned several times in the affidavit is

George Ray Hicks, a former constable who went to federal prison in

1983 along with then-****e County Sheriff Bobby Stinson when the
FBI busted the lawmen trying to smuggle cocaine.
Hicks eventually went to work for the Tennessee Department of

Transportation at the state garage in Newport, a position that
brought him into close contact with the state troopers stationed in
****e County.
Although Hicks is a felon, he was sometimes seen carrying a

handgun while on duty at the 440 pit, the affidavit said. Hicks also
liked to brag that the pit was protected not only by Ramsey but also
by state troopers and even the TBI.
Arrowood also made similar comments, allegedly telling an

unnamed FBI witness that state troopers were going to direct traffic
at a particularly large chicken fight.
The same witness — who had reported being shot at after

cooperating in an earlier investigation — also said he had been
threatened by Arrowood after asking too many questions. “You
could wind up with a case of dynamite under your house,”
Arrowood allegedly said.
THP Lt. Col. Tracy Trott, who supervises THP’s Eastern Bureau, said
through Department of Safety spokesman Mike Browning that the
only time state troopers directed traffic was when they helped raid
the Del Rio pit in 2005.
“As to any allegations of us being involved, we don’t know anything

about that, nor is anyone involved that we know of,” he said.
Browning said further questions should be directed to federal

authorities.
TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said last week that the mid-2005
raid at the Del Rio pit wouldn’t have happened if TBI agents were
tipping off Hicks at the 440 pit.
“If we were tipping someone off, the raid wouldn’t have

happened,”_ she said. “But subsequently the ****fighting pit was
raided.”
The attorneys representing the 440 pit defendants wouldn’t

comment for this story.
In March 2002, an informant told authorities that the sheriff had

told area ****fighters to shut down temporarily because the TBI
was expected to raid them.
The following year, the operator of the Cosby ****fighting

operation told an informant he was no longer “running chicken
fights” because Sheriff Ramsey and Sgt. Ken Whaley had made a
round of visits to pit operators to let them know the business “was
too hot and needed to be shut down” due to an FBI investigation.

Whaley also had allegedly installed a private telephone line to the E-

911 system that allowed ****fighters and liquor dealers “to call the
sheriff’s office and run tags of strange cars in the area,” the
affidavit said.
Whaley, who joined the Sheriff’s Department 20 years ago and

continues to work as a departmental dispatcher, said last week that
the allegations made by the informant were false. “None of that is
true,” Whaley said. “I have no comment because I don’t know
nothing about it.”
****e County E-911 Director Kathy Cody — who took over the
position from Patrick Taylor’s wife, Patricia Taylor, in 2000 — said
two private lines are in service at the E-911 center to allow
dispatchers to make personal phone calls that aren’t recorded.
“It is my opinion that everyone has a right to their privacy,” she

said. “The only reason the lines are installed are for personal use,
for when during work hours when someone receives or needs to
make a personal call.”
When asked if it was possible for the phone lines to be used as

described in the affidavit, she replied: “It’s possible There’s no way
to tell. But all the dispatchers up here are very professional and
they realize that we don’t run tags for anyone other than law
enforcement. If law enforcement calls and requests information, we
provide it and don’t ask questions.”
At the time of the secret 2004 search, the Del Rio pit was owned by
Michael Maynard of Hot Springs, N.C. During the search, the agents
copied a computer hard drive but couldn’t find a laptop they’d been
looking for.
Three months later, Maynard was notified of the midnight visit to

his property and told federal authorities that he wasn’t involved in
the pit’s day-to-day operations.
“Maynard said he feels that law enforcement in ****e County

knows that the ****fighting pits are there and chooses just to
leave them alone,” records state.
In early 2005, Maynard sold the Del Rio pit to Donald Poteat for
$100,000. Four months later, more than 100 state and federal
agents raided the facility and charged more than 140 people with
misdemeanors.
Maynard’s attorney, Richard L. Gaines, said Maynard had been in

the process of getting out of the ****fighting business to “comply
with the law, but it was too late.”
Poteat’s lawyer, Jeffrey Z. Daniel, said he had no comment on the

case. “We’re just looking forward to getting this behind us,” he said.
“His wife has been very ill. They’re good people. They just got

caught up in a bad situation and are trying to make the best of it.”

Sneak-and-peak warrants debated

Patriot Act used to search for evidence in ****fighting case

Monday, August 13, 2007
Just after midnight on May 13, 2004, a small team of FBI agents
crept into the legendary Del Rio ****fighting Pit in ****e County.
The illegal gambling arena was closed, and agents were able to
copy a computer hard drive before slipping away. They didn’t notify
the property’s then-owner, Michael Maynard of Hot Springs, N.C., of
the search for another three months.
Acting under the authority of the Patriot Act, the agents had
obtained a search warrant that allowed them to clandestinely enter
the property, search for evidence and not tell anyone about it until
the government or a judge was ready to let the owners know they’d

been there.
Originally touted as a tool in the struggle against terrorism, the

Patriot Act now was being used in the hills of East Tennessee as
part of a shadowy war that had been going on for decades, a
struggle that pitted the federal government against a homespun
Appalachian culture that had churned out generation after
generation of proud outlaws.
The use of delayed-notice search warrants, which also are called

“sneak-and-peek” warrants, is very rare, according to the most
recent figures from the federal government.
As of 2005 — the most recent year for which data is available — the
U.S. Department of Justice reported to Congress that less than 0.2
percent of all search warrants involved requests to delay
notification.
Such warrants weren’t a new tool that was created by the Patriot
Act, according to the Justice Department. The ability to conduct
such searches had been upheld by the courts for many years, but
the 2001 Patriot Act codified how they are to be used and,
according to critics, greatly expanded the conditions under which
they can be sought.
To Joe Baker, an attorney who represents alleged Del Rio pit

employee Gerald David Allen II, the use of the Patriot Act in
domestic investigations is problematic because it was touted as a
tool to fight international terrorism.
While Baker said “it would be inappropriate to comment” specifically

on his client’s case, he said the use of Patriot Act provisions in
cases with no ties to terrorism is questionable.
“When the Patriot Act was enacted, it was done to protect us from
the devastation and destruction of terrorism, and I think the
lawmakers who passed the law at the time would certainly rethink
their votes now, knowing that this powerful tool is being used to
investigate nonviolent, small-time criminal offenses,” Baker said.
U.S. Attorney Russ Dedrick, who oversees federal prosecutions in

East Tennessee, declined to comment for this story because of
pending criminal cases.
The Del Rio search was part of the “Rose Thorn” probe, a massive
investigation into public corruption and organized crime in ****e
County.
Based on what federal authorities had heard by the time of the

search, the stakes could hardly have been higher, according to
court records. Then-Sheriff D.C. Ramsey and several relatives
allegedly were milking the Del Rio pit and other illegal gambling
operations for cash. The FBI also was looking into drug smuggling
and auto theft rings.

When FBI Special Agent Thomas Farrow sought the warrant, he

cited the dangers that prompt disclosure might pose to those who
were secretly cooperating with federal authorities as well as to the
investigation as a whole. One witness, for instance, allegedly had
been told their house might be dynamited if they kept asking
questions.
But the use of such warrants poses thorny issues about privacy and
the constitutional right to be free of unreasonable searches or
seizures, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which has
been critical both of the use of sneak-and-peek warrants and how
the federal law was changed in 2001.
“This is one of the few provisions of the Patriot Act that was
sneaked into the Patriot Act in the middle of the night so that no
one knew it was there,” said Michelle Richardson, a legislative
consultant for the ACLU’s Washington, D.C., Legislative Office. “It
was passed without everyone knowing about it.”
Prior to the Patriot Act, she said, federal courts had held that
agents could conduct secret searches and defer notifying the
targets for short periods of time in very limited circumstances, such
as when someone’s life might be in danger.
“But this broadens it to include (the risk of) interference with an

investigation, and this creates a sort of catch-all for law
enforcement when it’s inconvenient for them to follow the rules,”
she said.
She also said federal authorities aren’t required to release

information on how many of the searches are done each year,
although in 2005 the government confirmed that only 12 percent of
them were related to terrorism.
“The rest are mostly drug cases,” she said. “They don’t even
purport that this is a terrorism tool.”
A spokesman for the Justice Department’s National Security

Division said he couldn’t discuss particulars of the Del Rio search
but did explain the department’s stance on delayed-notification
warrants.
Federal authorities believe the section of the Patriot Act dealing with
such searches helped strengthen a valuable tool, he said.
“Delayed-notification search warrants are a long-existing crime-

fighting tool upheld by courts nationwide for decades in organized
crime, drug cases and child pornography,” said spokesman Dean
Boyd.
Federal authorities still must convince a federal judge of the

necessity of such a search, and judges must periodically review the
case to ensure that keeping the warrant secret is required.

“The reasonable delay gives law enforcement time to identify the

criminal’s associates, eliminate immediate threats to our
communities and coordinate the arrests of multiple individuals
without tipping them off beforehand,” he said. “In all cases, law
enforcement must give notice that property has been searched or
seized.”

****e jailer quits, pleads guilty to laundering

FBI subpoenas records of deputy under probe

Tuesday, August 16, 2005
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - A ****e County jailer resigned four

hours after pleading guilty to a single count of attempted
money laundering Monday in federal court.
Also Monday, a ****e County Sheriff's Department official

confirmed that the FBI has taken the personnel file of Deputy
Christopher Smith as well as a videotape of a traffic stop he was
involved in.
"(The FBI) do have it," said administrative assistant Deborah

Gregg. "They subpoenaed that."
Smith has taken a leave of absence from the department pending

the outcome of an internal affairs investigation. Officials have
declined to discuss the substance of the probe.
Two sheriff's department employees have been arrested in recent

weeks by state and federal authorities who are investigating public

corruption and organized crime in ****e County.
One of them, 20-year-old Derrick Lynn Cureton, left the

federal courthouse Monday morning a convicted felon who
could end up spending the next two decades of his life in federal
prison.
Although the former jailer may get probation, U.S. District Judge J.
Ronnie Greer made it clear that he could sentence the corrections
officer to 20 years behind bars.
After Greer explained the potential penalties to Cureton, he asked

the officer if he still wanted to plead guilty to a one count-
information filed by prosecutors.
"Yes, sir," Cureton replied.
Cureton was arrested at the ****e County Jail last month. He was
accused of conspiring in July 2004 with former sheriff's deputy
Larry Joe Dodgin, 26, to smuggle $80,000 in cash they believed to
be illegal drug money and $250,000 in counterfeit bonds.
The scheme, however, was an undercover sting operation by FBI

agents operating in three different states, according to court
records.
The two officers and an unidentified third person allegedly drove the
cash to Atlanta, where an FBI agent put the fake bonds and cash
into a secret compartment installed in a car the agent provided to
them. They next traveled to Miami in the two vehicles and gave the
money and bonds to a pair of undercover agents posing as drug
traffickers.
Dodgin was paid $2,000 for the trip and Cureton was paid $1,000,
records show.

cocaine from an undercover FBI agent in Dandridge. He pleaded
guilty to that offense and is cooperating with authorities.
Cureton, who admitted his guilt in court Monday, will remain

free on $25,000 bond pending a Dec. 5 sentencing hearing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Smith said Cureton could be sentenced

to probation or up to 20 years in prison. Cureton also faces a
maximum fine of $250,000, he said.
Greer explained to Cureton that, by pleading guilty to a felony, he

was losing many of his citizenship rights including the right to vote,
the right to hold public office and the right to possess "any kind of
firearms."
As part of his plea agreement, Cureton promised to cooperate

"fully, truthfully and completely" with investigators and to testify
before a federal grand jury or in other court proceedings.

Sheriff's department spokesman and jail administrator Michael

McCarter said Cureton tendered his resignation Monday afternoon.
McCarter described Cureton's case as a tragedy and stressed that

illegal drug activity affects "educators, firefighters and every
profession and every field."
According to McCarter, Cureton was a dependable employee who

impressed his co-workers.
"Bad choices will ultimately lead you on a path you'll regret,"

McCarter said. "It's tragic to see. This was a shocker."

investigators say he sold them prescription pills. Indiana State
Police arrested Frankie Mikel during an undercover sting in
Clarksville.
Mikel is out on bond now and under home detention until next week
when he's expected to be officially charged.
In the meantime, Police continue their month-long investigation.
"We have to go back and see what kind of information has been
been breached," said Sgt. Jerry Goodin with the Indiana State
Police.
Information about other police investigations that Sgt. Jerry Goodin

and the Indiana State Police are concerned leaked because of this
man, 34 year old Frankie Mikel, a Clarksville Police Officer and
Sellersburg Town Court Judge candidate.
"When we get a report of a road cop or a dirty cop we immediately

want to get onto that," said Goodin.
It all went down in the parking lot of the Greentree Skateland

Skating Rink at around 9:00 Wednesday night. Investigators say
Mikel sold 30 morphine pills to undercover state troopers.
"Any time that you sell drugs around children preschools, schools,

playgrounds even this skating rink will fall into that it's going to
inhance that charge to an A felony," said Goodin.
The investigation began about a month ago when the Indiana State
Police were tipped off to Mikel's alleged drug dealing. "It was a
fairly quick investigation that we did here and we were able to get
him off the street," said Goodin.
Now out of the Clark County Jail on a $50,000 bond, he's facing 3
felony charges of dealing a controlled substance. "This is usually a B
felony charge this charge has been inhanced to an A felony because
a skating rink is actually a location where children do come and
hang out," said Goodin.
As for Mikel's political future as a Sellersburg Town Court Judge,

Defense Attorney Larry Wilder says it's too late to remove Mikel's
name from the ballot. "It's no admission of guilt, but it is believed
that it will be most appropriate under the circumstances," said
Wilder.
Mikel does opporate and lease the skating rink where the drug bust
happened. He has no prior criminal record. Clarksville Police Chief
Dwight Ingle delcined to comment on camera about this case, but
he did say Mikel is on administrative leave.

The Clarksville Police Department officer who was arrested

Wednesday night for allegedly selling morphine pills to an
undercover police officer is out on bond, and prosecutors have not
yet filed official charges against him.
Franklin E. Mikel, 34, was released on a $50,000 court-cash bond —

which means $5,000 was actually paid — and will be placed on
home incarceration until his next court appearance, which has been
scheduled for Wednesday. Prosecutors say they plan against Mikel
three charges of dealing in a schedule II substance within 1,000
feet of a gathering place for children, all likely as class A or B
felonies.
Indiana State Police arrested Mikel at Greentree Skateland, 1515

Lynch Lane Lane in Clarksville, about 9 p.m. Wednesday. In 2005,
Mikel took over ownership of the skating rink in an effort, he said at
the time, to give kids a safe place to hang out.
According to a release issued Wednesday from Indiana State Police,

troopers received information about a month ago that Mikel — an
eight-year veteran with the Clarksville Police Department and a
resident of Sellersburg — was dealing drugs. The investigation
culminated with Mikel allegedly selling 30 extended-release
morphine pills to undercover officers. He was not on duty at the
time of his arrest and was not driving his police cruiser.
On Thursday, Clarksville Police Department Chief Dwight Ingle said

Mikel had been placed on administrative leave without pay.
However, Mikel’s attorney, Larry Wilder of Jeffersonville, said
following the bond hearing that he had been suspended with pay.
Ingle said Mikel’s future with the department would be decided at

the next Clarksville Police Commissioners meeting, which could be
at least a month away.
Ingle said he was not aware of ISP’s investigation into Mikel’s

alleged actions, and called the arrest a “real slap” to the Clarksville
Police Department.
“If we had any idea, there would have been something done,” Ingle

said. “We had no idea at all.
“I have no doubt that he’s in very bad trouble. If he is guilty of this,

I’m very happy that they got him. We have no use for drug
pushers, and I hope he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
Wilder said Mikel was a running for Sellersburg Town Judge in May’s
primary on the Democratic Party ticket. While it is too late for Mikel
to withdraw from the race, Wilder said Mikel “would not pursue that
actively.”
Wilder added that Mikel had no prior criminal record and that his
arrest had been “a difficult time” for his family.
In an interview with The Evening News and The Tribune in 2005,

Mikel said the skating rink had developed a bad reputation as a
place for loitering and drug dealing and that he hoped to turn it into
“a family entertainment center” and a positive place for kids to
spend their time.
Indiana State Police said one handgun was seized from Mikel during
the bust and that he was arrested without incident.

A Clarksville Police officer — who in 2005 took over ownership of a

Franklin E. Mikel, 34, was arrested at Greentree Skateland, 1515

Lynch Lane in Clarksville, about 9 p.m. Wednesday, according to
Indiana State Police. He faces three A felony counts of dealing in a
schedule II controlled substance.
According to a news release from Indiana State Police, troopers

Mikel, an eight-year veteran of the Clarksville Police Department,

began leasing Greentree Skateland in 2005. In an interview with
The Evening News and The Tribune at that time, Mikel said the
skating rink had developed a bad reputation as a place for loitering
and drug dealing and that he had dealt with his share of problems
at the skating rink during his time with the police department.
By taking over ownership of the facility, Mikel said he hoped to turn

it into “a family entertainment center” and a positive place for kids
to spend their time.
“It was a pretty bad place, and a lot of parents didn’t want their
kids going there,” Mikel told The Evening News and The Tribune in
2005. “We’ve turned that around and now we have a lot of church
groups coming here and a lot of people in the community
supporting us.
“It’s the closest thing we have to a community center for kids in

Clarksville. It’s really important it’s there for the community.”
Indiana State Police said one handgun was seized from Mikel during
the bust and that he was arrested without incident.

Thirty-5-year-old Franklin Mikel was sentenced Thursday under a

plea agreement reached with prosecutors. He admitted selling
morphine pills to a police informant three times in March and April
last year at the Greentree Skateland roller rink he owned in
Clarksville.
Mikel was a candidate for town judge at the time he was arrested.
The 8-year veteran officer was suspended from the force and later

The prosecutor said he thought that prison time was appropriate for
Mikel.

Franklin Mikel, a former Clarksville police officer, exchanged tearful

hugs with his family yesterday after he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to 10 years in prison for dealing drugs.

Clark Superior Court Judge Cecile Blau also sentenced Mikel, 35, to
a year of home incarceration and a year of probation under a plea
agreement his attorneys reached with Deputy Prosecutor Robert
Bottorff.
"Ten years -- God! -- that's a long time," Mikel exclaimed just

before he was handcuffed and taken out of the courtroom by jail
officers.
The plea deal reduced the three charges against Mikel from Class A
felonies to Class B felonies and cut his maximum potential sentence
from 50 years on each count to no more than a total of 12 years.
Mikel admitted selling morphine pills to a police informant three

times in March and April last year at the Greentree Skateland roller
rink he owned in Clarksville. The deals were done while Mikel, who
was an eight-year veteran of the Clarksville Police Department, was
on duty and in uniform.
During a two-hour hearing, defense attorneys Larry Wilder and

James Voyles urged Blau to order that Mikel spend a larger part of
his sentence on home incarceration or probation.
Bottorff asked for a full 12-year prison term.
"The fact that Mr. Mikel was a police officer entrusted with enforcing
the laws of our state … tips the balance" toward a longer sentence,
Bottorff said.

But Mikel's attorneys said he is an alcoholic and was using illegal

drugs at the time of the crimes but has since joined Alcoholics
Anonymous.
"Mr. Mikel has been doing the rehabilitation that we … often do not
see until incarceration begins," Voyles told the judge. He urged "a
large period of home incarceration" so his client's recovery could be
monitored.
Blau, after listening to the arguments, said: "Being accountable

means being accountable. It's that simple."
"The fact that you made these transactions while on duty while in
uniform is an aggravator," she told Mikel.
The judge also noted that children were in and out of the skating
rink where the drug deals were made. And Blau said she was "a
little offended" that Mikel was a candidate for Sellersburg town
judge at the time of the crimes.
After the hearing, Bottorff said, "I think it was appropriate that he
go to the Department of Corrections."
Wilder agreed that "going to prison for some period of time was
something that was appropriate."

When KGMB9 confronted James A. Urban outside his Ewa Beach

home about his recent DUI arrest, he didn't say anything and
drove off.
The 31-year-old police officer has been with the force for four
years. He was off-duty at the time of the arrest but sources tell
KGMB9 he was in a blue and white police cruiser when he was seen
driving erratically.

If that was the case, he could be in even more trouble because it's
against HPD policy for an officer of his rank to be driving a cruiser
while off-duty.
Urban is assigned to a police station in Kapolei. After he was

arrested, he was held there before posting bail.
A check of court records show a James A. Urban, who is the same

age, was found guilty of DUI in 2006. We couldn't confirm he's the
same man but take a look at the two mugshots.
The man in the 2006 case was sentenced to two days in jail and his
license was suspended for 90 days.
Anyone convicted of DUI twice within five years can't drive for one
year. Plus, he or she must serve at least 240 hours of community
service, pay at least a $500 fine and spend at least five days in jail.
It's common procedure to still be allowed to drive after a DUI

arrest, until a hearing.
Urban is set to be in court May 27.

New Details on HPD Officer Charged With DUI

Honolulu Police Officer James Urban, 31, is charged with drunk

driving and is now on paid leave.
KGMB9 News has learned he refused to take a breathalyzer test.

And his arrest comes while he was already on restricted duty
because of a prior DUI conviction.
Urban was off duty and driving a blue-and-white police car when he
was arrested at 2:20 a.m. Tuesday.
Sources said his police car was parked outside Leslie's Place, a bar
in Kalihi, hours before his arrest. One employee we spoke to
believes he saw Urban drinking beer inside.
The 4-year veteran was arrested at the Kapolei police station.
We've also confirmed in December 2006, Urban pleaded no contest

leaving the scene of an accident and driving under the influence. He
was sentenced to two days in jail, lost his license for 90 days and
was ordered to pay $500.
"You think it's kind of a problem when you see a person getting
arrested twice within a short period of time," said DUI Attorney Paul
Cunney.
In 25 years of practice, he said he's only seen one officer come in

for a DUI case.
"You've got the brotherhood of the police officers, I guess you see
someone and you feel compelled to give them a ride home."
Sources said Urban was already on what's called ROPA, Restricted

Police Activity because of his previous DUI conviction.
His gun and badge had been taken away.
Patrol officers are not allowed to take police cars home.
So what was he doing driving a blue and white while off duty, which
is against police policy?
That is part of HPD's internal investigation.
Whatever happens, Cunney says it doesn't look good for the officer.
"I would think a second DUI, I think the Honolulu Police Department
would be very damaging to someone's career.

The penalty for a second DUI offense within 5 years is 5 days in jail
or 240 hours of community service and losing your license for a
year.
However, when you refuse to take a breathalizer on a second

offense, you can lose your license for 2 years.

Extended Sabatical Officer Had Previous DUI Conviction

Posts: 31403 HONOLULU -- The Honolulu Police Department on Wednesday said
it is investigating how an off-duty officer ended up drunk and
driving a police cruiser early Monday morning.
Police leadership refused to be interviewed on Wednesday about

how it happened and why at least one of the official records in the
case was doctored.
What a police spokeswoman would say is that Kapolei Officer James

A. Urban was arrested and charged with driving under the influence
early Monday morning. She confirmed Urban was off-duty, but was
driving a blue-and-white police cruiser. He was arrested when he
brought the car back to the Kapolei station.
It is the second time the 31-year-old officer faces DUI charges. In

2006, he was convicted of DUI and leaving the scene of a minor
accident. He pleaded no contest, did two days in jail, paid $900 in
fines and had his license suspended for 90 days.
If convicted of this second DUI, Urban will be banned from any

driving for a year and any car registered in his name will have its
registration revoked for a year as well.
During the Monday morning incident, Urban was assigned to the

Kapolei station on restricted duty due to the 2006 conviction,
sources said. He is now on leave with pay, free on $1,000 bail
pending the outcome of the case.

Police officials would not be interviewed about their policy on

officers convicted of DUI. They also would not say how an off-duty
officer with a prior DUI conviction could have access to an official
vehicle.
Police commanders at the Kapolei station have been instructed to

correct the arrest log on Urban. When KITV checked that record on
Wednesday morning, Urban's home address, unlike that of all the
other arrestees, was covered up.

to deliver some paperwork, then disappeared.
Sources say, at one point, the blue-and-white car he took was seen
parked in front of a bar on Kokea Street in Kalihi.

UPDATED: 10:50 am HST May 7, 2008
HONOLULU -- KITV has obtained police records on the arrest of an

officer for drunk driving in a police cruiser that show Officer James
Urban covered a lot of miles and seemed happy to be getting
arrested.
The records show Urban, who had no police powers because

of a prior DUI, checked out the blue-and-white while on duty
and did not return it until another officer found him and told
him to take it back.
Urban left the Honolulu Police Department's Kapolei station with

HPD Car 917 at 10 a.m. during his shift, police reports said. It
would be more than 12 hours later that anyone realized he and the
car were missing.
At about 11:30 p.m. Sunday, an officer was called to the bar I

Kalihi about an argument. The officer spotted the blue-and-white
cruiser parked next to the canal. It was completely unlocked. He
looked around for anybody who would take responsibility for the
car, including in the bar, but couldn't find anyone.
He called dispatch to see if it was stolen and finally left it there,

thinking it might be part of an undercover investigation, according

to the report.
By the time Kapolei commanders realized it was their car, it was

gone. An officer, who said he did not see signs Urban was drunk,
spotted at Urban about 1:40 a.m. on a street in Ewa. He told Urban
his sergeant wanted the car back. When Urban finally returned to
the Kapolei station a half hour later, his sergeant and another
officer were waiting for him.
"I asked him if he'd been drinking and he smiled and said 'yeah,'"
the arresting officer wrote. "Urban was cooperative and almost
jovial, putting his arms around both sergeant and me."
They reported Urban "glassy-eyed" and smelling of alcohol. He was

failing a field test when he decided to refuse all further tests and
got serious.
"He said things about how he was going to have to resign

and move back home. He said he did not want to work for his
father, but he guessed that you have to do what you have to
do," an officer stated in the report. "He started to talk about
selling his house, and we both noted that this was a bad
time to be selling."

The Honolulu Police officer arrested for DUI last week tried but
could not complete a field sobriety test. That's one of several new
details from James Urban's arrest report.
Police said the Kapolei officer checked out a patrol car on April 27
then went missing for more than 16 hours.
When he finally returned it, one officer noted, his eyes were red
and glassy. His speech was mumbled and sometimes difficult to
understand. The officer asked if he had been drinking and Urban
smiled and said "yeah."
When the officer said he was under arrest, Urban said "you have to
do what you have to do."
Urban, who had a prior DUI, is now on paid leave and his drivers
license has been revoked for 2 years.

Sheriff Long was a veteran officer, who surprised many with his win
over longtime Sheriff John Cupp in 2006.
Long brought with him a host of law enforcement colleagues,

friends and supporters when he took office.
The news of Sheriff Billy Long's arrest came as a shock to the

people we talked to today. And as you might expect citizens and

county officials are not quite sure what to think of Hamilton

County's top cop facing up to 50 years in jail.
Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey admits, "its a sad day for
Hamilton County. it's a sad day to be a public official in Hamilton
County."
Ramsey reacts to the news about Sheriff Billy Long's arrest. Chief
Deputy Allan Branum's reaction is not much different, saying, "i'm
very surprised. And if these allegations are true I'm very
disappointed."
Branum has assumed the sheriff's duties in the interim.
County residents like Nola Rucker, are shocked to find that instead
of protecting citizens, someone in Billy Long's position may have
been threatening them instead.
Rucker says, "thats kind of scary. You would trust your sheriff to be
an honest person and to do the right thing."
And while Sheriff Long is in charge of the county law enforcement,

his actions reflect on the city of Chattanooga as well.
Jamie Greiner adds, "certainly as a citizen of Chattanooga its

disappointing, You know you hate to have anything that would be
detrimental to the face of the city."
A visably shaken Mayor Ramsey says that the county has an

obligation to provide good law enforcement to the people, and now
county officials have to take the next step. "Its important that we
pick up the pieces and move forward. Its important that we have
good law enforcment."
Chief Deputy Branum also says that this devastates many in the
community and citizens agree. "Very shocking and quite disturbing
actually."
County Mayor Ramsey, along with commission Chairman Bill

Hullander met with sheriff's department employees later today, to
ask for their cooperation in maintaining strong law enforcement in
the county while the investigation is going on.

Posts: 31403 Hamilton county Sheriff Billy Long is behind bars tonight, charged
with bribery and extortion.
The sheriff was arrested this morning after an apparent FBI sting
operation. Hamilton County Sheriff Billy Long faced a judge in
federal court Saturday afternoon. U.S. Attorney Gary Humble
requested he remain in custody because he's a danger to the
community. Sheriff Long faces a total 50 years in federal prison and
$500,000 in fines if convicted.
Sheriff Billy Long took office less than two years ago and promised
to uphold the law, now he's accused of breaking it.
Special Agent Richard Lambert, U.S. Dept. of Justice, says, "This is

a sad day for all of us working for law enforcement in East
Tennessee."
Saturday afternoon US Attorney Rick Lambert spelled out the case

against Sheriff Long. Long was arrested this morning after an
investigation that began in April 2007. Agents say Sheriff Long
attempted to shakedown convenience store owners, one of which is
located on Rossville Blvd. He is accused of extortion and bribery.
Lambert says, "Sheriff Long accepted 12 payments totaling $17,400

representing what he was told were payments from ethnic Indian
store owners to protect their video poker business and other illegal
activities."
Another investigation began in December 2007 and ended just last

month on January 24th. Investigators say Long got involved with
what he thought was a money laundering and drug trafficking
operation. Investigators says he accepted payments totaling $6500
dollars. Agents say tackling public corruption is their number one
priority.
Agent Lambert adds, "When any law enforcement officer puts his
desire for money above the sworn duty to protect and to serve, we

all suffer."
Sheriff Long is also accused of supplying a firearm to a felon, who

turned out to be a cooperating witness. Agents say he also provided
a sheriff's badge to the man as part of an effort to extort money.
The FBI says the investigation is still on going on and there could
be more arrests and more charges against Sheriff Long.
He will appear here in federal court on Monday.

posted February 2, 2008
Federal officials announced Saturday afternoon they had arrested

Hamilton County Sheriff Billy Long for bribery, money laundering
and providing a gun to a felon.
Russ Deaderick, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee,

said Sheriff Long accepted a number of cash bribes over a lengthy
period.
The sheriff was taken into custody Saturday morning by the FBI. He
was brought in handcuffs before Federal Magistrate Bill Carter at 3
p.m.
Magistrate Carter ordered him detained until a detention hearing on

Monday at 2 p.m. after prosecutor Gary Humble called him "a
danger to the community." He said the sheriff could face more
charges. He apparently will be held at an outlying jail.
Sheriff Long, who looked dazed and had his head bowed during his
brief court appearance, was told he could face up to 20 years in
prison for bribery and money laundering and up to 10 years in
prison on the gun charge. He also could face a fine up to $250,000
on the Hobbs Act charges.
Sheriff Long said he will secure an attorney by the Monday

afternoon hearing.
Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Richard

Lambert said the sheriff took 12 payments totaling $17,400
between April 3 and Dec. 14 of last year that he was told were for
protection of video poker operations for Indian store owners.

He said the sheriff also received five cash payments totaling $6,550
from De3. 3 to Jan. 24 of this year that was supposed to be to
protect $625,000 in illegal drugs.
The FBI recorded and videoed numerous encounters the sheriff had
with a confidential informant and was filmed taking numerous
payoffs, officials said.
Mr. Deaderick said the investigation is ongoing and there may be

additional charges filed.
County Commissioner Curtis Adams said, "I couldn't be more

disappointed and heart-broken. Dot and I sort of adopted him. I've
never known anybody that I learned to like so much in such a short
time. It's hard to believe he would do something like this."
Commissioner Adams said, "He has done some good things, and the
County Commission has been solidly behind him. We've given him
everything he asked for, including the funding for the SROs. And
he's been good to attend our commission meetings."
If Sheriff Long steps down, it will be up to the County Commission

to name a temporary successor.
The election for a new sheriff would be in August. Since the primary
has already passed, the political parties would need to caucus to
choose nominees.
Allen Branum, former police chief in Soddy-Daisy who is the chief

deputy to Sheriff Long, said the office will continue on with
"aggressive law enforcement."
He said he believes no others in the sheriff's office are involved.
Chief Deputy Branum, who broke down at one point while he was
being interviewed, called it "the worst day I can remember in my
law enforcement career."
Chief Branum said, "I'm as surprised as anybody. If Sheriff Long is

guilty of these charges, I am very disappointed."
He added, "This absolutely devastates a lot of people and I'm one

of them."
He was meeting with personnel in the sheriff's office on Saturday

afternoon.
County Mayor Claude Ramsey said he was "saddened and

disappointed" when he was notified by FBI officials of the arrest
early Saturday.
He called it "a sad day for Hamilton County. It's a sad day to be a
public official in Hamilton County."
Mr. Deaderick said, "Law enforcement corruption cannot be

tolerated and must be dealt with quickly and professionally. Local,

state and federal agencies must work together and rely on each
other to protect our citizens and to insure a safe environment. The
Hamilton County Sheriff's Department, its deputies and staff, have
worked effectively to support these ideals in the past and I am sure
will do so in the future."
Agt. Lambert said, "More than any other crime, it is public

corruptions that tears most at the fabric of democracy. When the
desire to make money overshadows the duty to serve, not only is
the fidelity of government threatened, but our very way of life is
jeopardized. It is for those reasons that public corruption is the
FBI's top criminal investigative priority."
Sheriff Long, a Democrat, had a 31-year career in the sheriff's

office before winning an upset victory over veteran Sheriff John
Cupp in 2006.
In an affidavit, FBI Agt. James Melia said on March 20, 2007, he

was with a cooperating witness when the CW received a call from
Sheriff Long.
He said the call "led to a series of events beginning with a trip by

the CW and Sheriff Long to shake down the owner of a store, an
ethnic east Indian, and coerce him to make good on what the
sheriff claimed was a promised campaign contribution from this
individual and other ethnic Indian store owners. Thereafter, the FBI
was able to introduce two undercover agents posing as
representatives of the store owners interested in obtaining the
sheriff's protection."
It says after the 12 payments from the store owners, "the FBI
introduced the sheriff to what he believed was a drug trafficking
and money laundering operation" and there were five cash
payments involved in that.
The affidavit says the Indian store owners had pledged $50,000 to
support the Long campaign in 2006 "but had fallen far short of their
pledge, in fact contributing only $12,000."
The CW said he and Sheriff Long planned to visit a specific Indian

store owner "who supported Long in his campaign for sheriff. Upon
visiting the store owner, they planned to threaten him with official
action by members of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department
whom Long controlled if the store owners did not resolve their debt
with Long."
In a recorded phone call, Sheriff Long "confirmed that the Indian

store owners owed him approximately $38,000, that he was aware
the store owner was 'selling s---' that's wrong,' and he would 'go
down there and straighten his a-- out.'"
On April 3, the CW and the sheriff rode together in Sheriff Long's

official vehicle to the store at 4510 Rossville Blvd. The sheriff, CW

and store owner met in a back room where the owner was told "he
and the other Indian store owners were responsible for paying the
remainder of the $50,000 debt owed to Sheriff Long."
The affidavit says Sheriff Long "threatened the store owner by

saying, 'We're going to have to shut it down down' and 'if we go
after one store we'll go after all of them.' Finally Long told the store
owner that 'From here on out there will be action taken to make
you understand.'"
At the close of the meeting, the CW asked the store owner to give
Sheriff Long $200 to appease him. The meeting then moved to the
sheriff's car. The owner offered $100, but the sheriff instructed him
to give it to the CW. The CW then "asked the store owner to give
the sheriff another $100 to calm him down, which he did."
After the owner left, the sheriff told the CW to keep all the money,
saying he knew he was having financial hardships.
The affidavit says Sheriff Long continued to pressure the CW to

pressure the store owner "to cause him and other store owners to
pay the campaign debt."
The CW and Sheriff Long met April 16 at a business operated by the

CW. The CW said he had money for the sheriff from the store
owner. Sheriff Long asked that they move away from a window so
he could not be seen. The CW gave Sheriff Long $1,000 during this
meeting.
The affidavit says Sheriff Long told the CW "to keep the pressure on
the store owner to provide more money to Sheriff Long and to tell
him, 'I don't know how much longer I can hold the sheriff back.'"
It says the sheriff knew the store owner was involved in illegal
activity, saying, "We know we can get him for certain things. We
know all that meth s--- and all that stuff. We know all that."
The affidavit says the sheriff told the CW "to make sure the store
owner knew the sheriff could close his store down for 30 days
including Memorial Day, costing the store owner to lose a large
amount of money."
Sheriff Long also directed the CW to contact "a person Long

believed to the the leader of all Indian stores in the area and to
arrange a meeting. Since Long had never met this supposed 'leader'
and had little information about him, the FBI developed an
undercover sting operation wherein undercover FBI agents would
pose as nephews of the 'leader'."
On April 26, undercover FBI agents met with Sheriff Long at the CW
at the India Mahal restaurant at 5970 Brainerd Road. At the
meeting, Sheriff Long "granted permission for Indian stores to
operate illegal gambling machines, as long as the machines were
kept in back rooms. He also granted permission for the stores to

engage in other lucrative money making activity, including selling

ingredients used for the manufacture of methamphetamine. Long
stressed to the undercover agents that it was important to conceal
the illegal activities, and that when possible, Long would attempt to
warn the store operators when he became aware that other law
enforcement agencies were focusing on these illegal activities. Long
further informed the undercover agents that he was aware of many
of the businesses operated by Indians in Chattanooga and that he
expected to be paid a part of the earnings generated by all of the
businesses."
The agents offered to give the sheriff cash, but he said all money
should be paid to the CW.
The affidavit says following the meeting Sheriff Long directed the
cW to tell the Indians "they would have to pay $100,000 per
quarter for his protection."
It says on May 3 Long said by phone to again to tell the nephews

he wanted $100,000 per quarter, and he said he was concerned
that the 'nephews' were actually FBI undercover agents.
FBI Agts. James Melia and Scott Barker met with Sheriff Long on
June 24 under the guise of updating his FBI security clearance.
They said they asked him numerous questions "to which he gave
false and misleading answers."
On July 2, the sheriff and the CW met at the CW's business. Long
said he wanted to continue with the plan to take money from the
Indian store operators. He said all money should go to the CW, and
then the CW could make it appear he was loaning money to him
(Long).
Sheriff Long said, "I can't take no money from them personally you
know, because I'm afraid they're going to be feds. They'll have me
and you both in jail."
On Aug. 31, the CW said he had been getting money from the
Indian store operators. He handed $3,500 to Sheriff Long, who
returned $500 and kept the rest.
The 12 payments were $1,000, $3,500, $2,000, $2,000, $1,900,

and seven for $1,000 each.
On Nov. 16, "at the behest of the FBI, the CW informed Long that
the CW had been approached by the head of a Mexican drug
trafficking operation about using a business operated by the CW as
a means of shipping money generated by the sale of illegal
narcotics to Mexico."
The sheriff was told the money would be hidden in cremation urns
and shipped to Mexico. Sheriff Long agreed to go along with the
scheme and asked to split the money with the CW. During this

meeting, the CW gave the sheriff $1,000 that he was told came
from the "nephews".
Sheriff Long drove from the meeting in a red Chevrolet Trailblazer

registered to the sheriff.
On Nov. 23, the CW suggested he might be "hauling a--" with some

drug money and requested he be made an "auxiliary" or "reserve"
deputy sheriff. Sheriff Long offered to supply him with a badge.
Sheriff Long drove from this meeting in a red SUV - his personal
vehicle.
On Nov. 26, there was again discussion about the need for a badge
in case the CW was stopped on Sand Mountain. Sheriff Long said,
"I'll get you a badge."
On Nov. 29, Sheriff Long presented the CW "with a brand new

Hamilton County Sheriff's Department patrolman's badge." At the
same time, the CW showed the sheriff supplies to be used to send
the illegal drug proceeds to Mexico. Sheriff Long warned the CW to
"watch your back."
The CW informed Sheriff Long on Dec. 3 he had sent $25,000 in

drug proceeds to Mexico. He gave the sheriff $550 - approximately
half of the fee he claimed he charged the drug organization.
On Dec. 7, Sheriff Long and the CW met at the business operated

by the CW. It was recorded on a video system installed by the FBI.
The CW displayed a box in which he told the sheriff contained
$50,000 provided to him by the drug organization. Sheriff Long
helped the CW open the box and observed several packages
wrapped in Mexican newspaper. The CW opened several of the
packages in the sheriff's presence and displayed a large amount of
cash. The FBI had provided the $50,000 in cash. The CW told the
sheriff he could expect to be paid the next week.
Sheriff Long was paid $1,000 by the CW at a meeting at the CW's

business on Dec. 14. At this meeting, the sheriff was told the
Indians were complaining they had not been tipped off about a raid.
Sheriff Long said he did not believe the raid involved their
businesses and "if he needs to be tipped, we'll tip him."
Also, on Dec. 14, the CW opened a box and displayed $100,000 in

cash that the FBI had supplied. The CW told Sheriff Long, "This is
easily going to be a half million dollars every week." Sheriff Long
responded, "Well, come on with it, you know what I mean."
The CW said he felt uncomfortable keeping the money in the

business as he did not have any protection. Sheriff Long promised
to obtain something "unmarked" to the CW. Sheriff Long went from
this meeting in his official vehicle, a gray Ford Explorer, to his home
at 2504 Cedarton Court.
On Dec. 20, the sheriff and the CW again met at the CW's business,

and the sheriff took a $2,000 payment. Sheriff Long presented the
CW with a loaded .32-caliber Industria National De Armes revolver.
The CW made several references to the fact he had a felony
conviction and was not supposed to be carrying guns. Sheriff Long
"instructed the CW never to disclose from whom the CW obtained
the gun, and that if the CW shot someone, the CW should get rid of
the gun."
It was found the gun was made in Brazil and shipped to Elliot Sales
in Rome, Ga., in 1968.
The CW phoned Sheriff Long on Jan. 18 in New Orleans where he

was attending a conference and said he had a $1,000 payment
awaiting him when he returned.
Sheriff Long said he would be back Saturday and would get with
him to get the payment.
Sheriff Long and the CW met at the CW's business on Jan. 20, and
the sheriff was given the $1,000 payment. During the meeting,
Sheriff Long expressed his opinion that "feds" were involved in
previous dealings with the Indians. Sheriff Long stated, "And I hate
feds any d--- way."
The FBI arranged a "drug show" for Sheriff Long on Jan. 24. He
went to the CW's business and was paid $2,000. The CW then
opened a 10-kilogram package of cocaine that the FBI had obtained
from Miami.
The CW told the sheriff he had not been expecting the drug
shipment and had called the leader of the drug organization (Chico)
to find out what was happening. He told the sheriff that Chico
advised him to place the 10 kilograms of cocaine in a box and, after
dark, place the box next to a dumpster outside of the CW's
business. A runner would be sent to retrieve the package.
Sheriff Long expressed his concern that someone else might take
the package, and that he hoped the right person got the package.
Sheriff Long agreed to accept $20,000 for the cocaine shipment.

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/...y-long-arrested
Hamilton County Sheriff Billy Long made his initial appearance in U.

S. Magistrate Court today in handcuffs, listening with his head
bowed as a judge read extortion, money laundering and gun
charges against him.
Sheriff Long was arrested this morning by the FBI on charges he

had shaken down local Indian store owners for money and received
payoffs for allowing a drug trafficking and money laundering
operation between April 2007 and Jan. 24, said Assistant U.S.
Attorney Gary Humble.
He is accused of accepting 12 payments totaling $17,400,

representing what he was told were payments from the store
owners to protect their video poker business and other illegal
activity.
He also allegedly received five cash payments totaling $6,550 for

allowing the laundering of $625,000 in drug trafficking proceeds,
Mr. Humble said during Mr. Long’s brief hearing.
A hearing to determine whether Mr. Long — who is being held in

federal custody in an undisclosed location — will be granted bond is
set for 2 p.m. Monday.
Sheriff Long was elected in August 2006. He worked in the sheriff’s

office for 31 years before retiring to make his bid for sheriff.
Sheriff Long was a U.S. Army Airborne trooper for three years and
spent 17 years with the Tennessee Army National Guard.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The sheriff of a southern Tennessee county
was arrested Saturday in an FBI sting and charged with extorting
money from video gambling operators.
Between April and mid-December, Hamilton County Sheriff Billy

Long accepted $17,400, which he was told were payments from
store owners "to protect their video poker business and other illegal
activity," according to a federal affidavit.
Long, 55, promised to inform them when he became aware of any

investigation focused on their involvement in illegal activities,
including selling ingredients used to make methamphetamine, the
court record said.
Then the FBI set up a sting, introducing "the sheriff to what he

believed was a money laundering and drug trafficking operation,"
the affidavit said.
The affidavit said Long also accepted $6,550 in cash as "his payoff
to a cooperating witness supposedly laundering $625,000 in drug
trafficking proceeds."
Long was given $1,000 by the confidential informant, money

provided by the FBI, and told that drug trafficking money "would be
hidden in the cremation urns to a funeral home in Mexico."
A judge ordered Long detained after federal prosecutor Gary

Humble described Long as a "danger to the community." Long told
U.S. Magistrate Bill Carter that he would hire a lawyer before a
Monday afternoon detention hearing.
Long, a Democrat, was elected in 2006 after 31 years of law

enforcement service.
"Law enforcement corruption cannot be tolerated and must be dealt

with quickly and professionally," U.S. Attorney James R. Dedrick
said in a statement.

Dedrick said no other law enforcement officer was a suspect in the

investigation, which he said is ongoing and could lead to additional
charges. Dedrick declined to say if anyone outside of law
enforcement is a suspect.

Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Don Poole ordered today that
the jury selected to hear the corruption case against former
Chattanooga police officer Lawrence Goodine will be sequestered
during the trial.
Defense attorney Lee Davis said recent publicity regarding law

enforcement officers facing legal woes prompted him to ask that
the jury be sequestered.
Mr. Davis cited publicity about former Sheriff Billy Long’s arrest on
federal firearms, drug, extortion and money laundering charges, as
well as the arrest last week of former Lafayette (Ga.) police officer
Sam Parker in the death of his wife. He said the publicity could
prevent Mr. Goodine from receiving a fair trial.
Executive Assistant District Attorney Neal Pinkston said he does not

oppose jury sequestration.
Mr. Goodine is charged with nine counts each of official oppression

and theft and one count each of extortion and aggravated perjury.
His trial is scheduled to begin Feb. 26, but officials said jury
selection likely will take place Feb. 25.

ERIE, Pa. — An Erie police officer has been arrested for allegedly
stealing cocaine from the police department's evidence room.
Forty-six-year-old police Lt. Robert Liebel was arrested Sunday

night in a sting operation by investigators from the police
department and the state Attorney General's Office.
Investigators say they used surveillance equipment to observe

Liebel taking 12 grams of cocaine from a larger amount of the drug

placed in the evidence room as part of the sting.
Arrest records say Liebel told the investigators he took the cocaine
and that it was for his personal use.
Liebel is charged with theft, tampering with evidence and other

offenses.

An Erie Bureau of Police lieutenant has been arrested on charges he

stole cocaine from an Erie police evidence room for his personal use.
Robert Liebel, 46, was arrested late Sunday night in a sting

operation run by Erie police internal affairs investigators and an
investigator with the state Attorney General’s Office, according to
the arrest records.
The investigators alleged they used surveillance equipment to

observe Liebel — who was on duty at the time — take 12 grams of
cocaine from a larger amount of cocaine that investigators had
placed in an evidence room as part of the sting on Sunday.
The room was not the main property room at the police station. The

evidence room in question is similar to a walk-in closet, and is

where Erie police hold evidence on a temporary basis before the
evidence goes to the main property room.
The investigators said they confronted Liebel, and that he had some
of the cocaine in his hand and had hidden the rest of it elsewhere in
the Erie police station. Liebel admitted to the investigators that he
took the cocaine, and said it was for his personal use, according to
the records.
Liebel was arraigned at 11:55 p.m. Sunday on charges including

theft, tampering with evidence, receiving stolen property and
obstructing the administration of law.
Though he was arrested in Erie, Liebel is in the Crawford County

Correctional Facility on $100,000 bond. It was not immediately
clear why Liebel was jailed in Crawford County.

Earlier drug case led to investigation of police lieutenant

Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel was charged with stealing 12 grams
of cocaine from an evidence locker.
But a question remains:
What happened to another missing 26.9 grams of cocaine?
The disappearance of those drugs came up at a preliminary hearing

in December -- a hearing that sparked the investigation of Liebel.
Erie police seized the cocaine in the earlier case on Nov. 2, but the
drugs weren't discovered missing until a preliminary hearing Dec.
12.
Erie police Lt. Steve Goozdich testified he had logged in

approximately 84 grams of cocaine during the course of the arrest
of the four defendants in November, according to court records and
those involved in the case.
Court papers, however, indicated that the four defendants were

found in possession of 57.1 grams of cocaine -- discrepancy of 26.9
grams, or 0.94 ounce.
Attorney Keith Clelland, who represented one of the defendants,

asked Goozdich about the discrepancy during the Dec. 12 hearing.
"He said he couldn't answer, that he didn't know," Clelland said

Tuesday. "He said when he left there, he was going to find out what
happened."
That promise launched the two-month joint investigation by the

state Attorney General's Office and the Erie Bureau of Police. The
probe led to Sunday's arrest of Liebel, a 22-year veteran of the
force, in a cocaine sting.
Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk said he asked the Attorney
General's Office to start the probe as soon as he learned of the
discrepancy in the amount of cocaine at the Dec. 12 hearing.
Foulk declined comment on how the discrepancy in the earlier case

would affect the case of Liebel, who has been charged with taking
only the 12 grams of cocaine.
Foulk said, however, that the Liebel case is a "continuing

investigation."
Liebel was arrested after a surveillance camera caught images of

him tampering with cocaine in the evidence locker room that is
adjacent to the office for the Erie police's shift officer in charge, of
which Liebel was one. Investigators had placed the drugs in the
locker room as part of the sting.
Liebel, 46, later admitted to taking the drugs for his own use, police
said.
A review of procedures
The discrepancy in the amount of cocaine in the earlier case has

prompted Foulk to try to dispose of that case as he has his staff
review other drug cases.
Foulk said his office in January offered a plea deal to all four
defendants in the earlier case, agreeing to drop the felony drug
charges because of the problems with the amount of cocaine.
"I didn't feel we could proceed in good faith," he said.
No one knows yet if any other drug cases might have also been
compromised. Foulk said he has asked his assistant district
attorneys to give him a list of pending drug cases.
He said his office is focusing on cases in which drugs were held in

the evidence locker room at the Erie police station, which is used by
the officer in charge to store evidence when the main property
room is closed -- weeknights from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. and on
weekends, Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said.
Franklin said the police are also checking to see whether any other
drugs seized by police might have been tampered with. He would
not detail how the investigation is being conducted.
"We have a way of going back," Franklin said. "We can't go into
that because it's an ongoing investigation. But we do have a means
by which we can determine if anything's been compromised."
He said that finding drugs that have been tampered with isn't as
simple as weighing the drugs.
That's because the Erie Bureau of Police does not routinely weigh
drugs before sending the drugs to the Pennsylvania State Police
crime lab for testing, Franklin said.

"Most times officers are taught not to measure," he said.
Goozdich weighed the drugs because he formerly was part of an

FBI-led task force -- E.A.G.L.E., for Erie Area Gang Law
Enforcement -- that taught him to do so, Franklin said.
"There are different procedures they follow," Franklin said. "In this
case, he weighed what he had seized and then packaged it for the
lab."
Goozdich could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Franklin said when the property room is closed, officers are

supposed to follow a list of procedures in placing evidence in the
locker room. That evidence is later transferred to the property room.
"As a matter of protocol, no matter what, evidence is sealed and

tagged," Franklin said.
Franklin said the Erie police are also reviewing evidence procedures
in light of the Liebel case.
"I don't think our system is really compromised," he said. "It's

worked for more than 30 years and we've never had this problem.
But if there's something we can do to tighten it up, we will."

-- Policy allows Liebel to get pay
Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel will continue to receive his annual
pay of $59,160 until at least his preliminary hearing on charges he
stole cocaine from an evidence locker on Sunday.
Liebel's suspension with pay is based on long-standing policy at Erie

City Hall. The city, in past cases involving police officers charged
with crimes, has routinely suspended the officers with pay until the
preliminary hearing.
If the case is ordered to trial after the preliminary hearing, the city
has typically suspended the officer without pay.
"The concept is that they are entitled to due process," said Connie
Cook, the city's resource manager.
Gerald Villella, an assistant city solicitor, also said the city for years
has suspended arrested employees with pay until the preliminary

hearing.
Liebel, 46, joined the Erie Bureau of Police in 1986. He earns

$59,160 a year, according to city records. His preliminary hearing is
scheduled for Feb. 20.
Liebel since his arrest has been at the Crawford County Correctional
Facility on $100,000 bond. Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk
said Liebel was placed there, instead of Erie County Prison, for
Liebel's safety.

Authorities say electronic surveillance caught veteran Erie police Lt.

Robert J. Liebel stealing 12 grams of cocaine from a police evidence

locker in a sting operation on Sunday afternoon.
What the authorities want to know now is whether other drugs

stored at the Erie police station were similarly tampered with.
"We are investigating and will continue, along with the Erie Bureau
of Police, to investigate to ensure that no past or current cases
have been compromised by this officer," Erie County District
Attorney Brad Foulk said.
If authorities find that other drugs stored in the Erie police station
have been tampered with, those problems could jeopardize the
prosecution of those cases.
Chief Erie County Public Defender Tony Logue said his office is
reviewing past cases and that he plans to arrange a meeting with
Foulk and representatives of the Attorney General's Office, which is
prosecuting the Liebel case, after the Liebel investigation is finished.
Logue said he wants to make sure that there are no other cases
that could be affected.
"We have a chain-of-custody issue," he said.
To ensure fairness, evidence obtained for criminal prosecution is

supposed to be safeguarded through an official "chain of custody"
to ensure that the evidence remains the same from the time it was
seized until its use in court against a defendant.
Liebel, 46, of the 2800 block of Ellsworth Avenue, was arrested

Sunday and arraigned on misdemeanor charges after police said
they caught him stealing the 12 grams -- or 0.42 ounces -- of
cocaine.
In announcing the charges Monday, Foulk, Erie police Chief Steve

Franklin and Mayor Joe Sinnott each voiced their disappointment
and surprise at the arrest.
Liebel, a 22-year veteran of the Bureau of Police, had reached the

rank of lieutenant in the patrol division, was active in the Erie
police's programs in the Erie School District and worked security for
the Erie County Convention Center Authority, which manages the
Warner Theatre, Tullio Arena and Jerry Uht Park.
Liebel was also a designated officer in charge for the Erie police,
making him the top official at the police station during some work
shifts.
Liebel is on paid leave while the case proceeds, Franklin said. He

said he has known Liebel for years and was crestfallen when he
learned that Erie police had to arrest one of their fellow officers.
"I can't even express in words how I feel," Franklin said.

Foulk declined to comment in detail on what triggered the

investigation.
He said only that authorities opened the probe after a preliminary

hearing in December. He said prosecutors and police discovered an
apparent discrepancy in the amount of cocaine that was supposedly
seized in a drug arrest.
To avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, Foulk asked the

state Attorney General's Office to investigate the case in January.
Agents from the Attorney General's Office and internal-affairs

investigators with the Erie Bureau of Police then sought to
determine whether evidence was being tampered with at the police
station.
According to the criminal complaint against Liebel, a technician

installed an electronic surveillance system in the evidence locker,
which is a secure area similar to a walk-in closet. It is located off
the office at the Erie police station that is reserved for the officer in
charge of a shift.
The locker was used to store drugs temporarily until they could be
processed and an evidence officer could place them in the main
evidence room at the police station, Foulk said.
According to police, the surveillance caught images that suggested

Liebel tampered with cocaine that had been placed in the locker by
the state Attorney General's Office.
Liebel, a lieutenant who was in charge of his shift Sunday, first

entered the evidence locker room adjacent to his office about 2 p.
m. Sunday and then exited it, leaving the door ajar, police said.
Investigators determined that the package of cocaine that had been

placed in the locker had been moved.
About 4:40 p.m., the investigators said, Liebel re-entered the

locker room and exited it. When he left, the cocaine was missing,
they said.
About five minutes later, Liebel returned the cocaine to the room,
but testing later showed that 12 grams had been removed from the
original package, police said.
Deputy Erie Police Chief Joseph Emerick confronted Liebel minutes

after he left the evidence locker. Emerick observed cocaine in
Liebel's left hand, according to the criminal complaint. The
remainder of the 12 grams was found hidden elsewhere in the
police bureau, police said.
In an interview, Liebel said he took the cocaine for personal use,

police said in the complaint.
Liebel was arraigned late Sunday before Erie 2nd Ward District
Judge Paul Urbaniak. Liebel is accused of tampering with or
fabricating physical evidence, obstructing administration of law or
other governmental function, theft by unlawful taking, receiving
stolen property and possession of a controlled substance.
Attorney General Special Agent John Piasecki and Inspector Jim

DeDionisio, who is in charge of the Erie police's Office of
Professional Standards, filed the charges.
Liebel was placed in the Crawford County Correctional Facility after

failing to post $100,000 bond.
Foulk said Liebel was placed in the Crawford facility for his own
safety.
He said the police and the Attorney General's Office worked the
case against Liebel diligently and swiftly. He said the prosecutors
asked for the high bond.
"Mr. Liebel was treated no differently than anyone else," Foulk said.
LISA THOMPSON can be reached at 870-1802 or by e-mail.
What's Next
The preliminary hearing for Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel is

tentatively set for Feb. 20 before Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom
Robie. Liebel is in the Crawford County Correctional Facility with
bond set at $100,000. Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk said
authorities had Liebel jailed in Crawford County, rather than at the
Erie County Prison, for Liebel's safety. Liebel is suspended with pay
from the Erie Bureau of Police pending further action in the case.
Liebel said to be 'highly regarded' by other officers
Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel has worked for the Erie Bureau of
Police for 22 years, and has also become a familiar officer at some
of Erie's public schools and the city's most popular entertainment
venues.
His arrest on charges he stole cocaine from a police evidence locker

prompted somber remarks Monday from three of the people who
said they knew Liebel -- Mayor Joe Sinnott, Erie Police Chief Steve
Franklin and Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk.
Liebel, Sinnott said, has been "highly regarded by his fellow officers
and others in charge." Sinnott described Liebel as "a troubled
officer who had some problems."

Franklin said Liebel's arrest had left him at a loss for words, and
Foulk also said the situation was unfortunate.
Foulk said police and the state Attorney General's Office, which is
prosecuting the case, investigated Liebel as they would any other
accused person.
Liebel, 46, had reached the rank of lieutenant in the Erie police
patrol division and was active in Erie police programs in the Erie
School District. He worked in the fall at Wilson Middle School, 718
E. 28th St., as part of Safe Passage, a program in which Erie police
conducted on-site patrols during the daily dismissal of students at
Wilson and at McKinley Elementary School, 933 E. 22nd St.
Liebel for the past 11 years also worked security for the Erie County
Convention Center Authority. The authority's executive director,
Casey Wells, said Monday the authority will not schedule Liebel for
future events.
At the Erie police station, Liebel was a designated officer in charge,

making him the top official at the police station during some work
shifts.
The head of the Erie Fraternal Order of Police, John Barber, a

detective sergeant, said the local union will follow Liebel's case.
"If he needs help," Barber said, "the lodge will be there."

Erie police need to better handle drug evidence

Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel is charged with stealing 12 grams of
cocaine from a locker that is used to store evidence when the
property room is closed at night and on weekends. Liebel, who
police said later admitted he took cocaine for his own use, was the
target of a sting operation.
The Liebel arrest and other details that have emerged about the

way police typically handle drug evidence have led many Erie
residents to correctly conclude something doesn't add up. That isn't
the way Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin saw it initially.
"I don't think our system is really compromised," Franklin said. "It's
worked for more than 30 years, and we've never had this problem.
But if there's something we can do to tighten it up, we will."
Franklin was essentially saying the Liebel case is an isolated case --

perhaps the result of a troubled, high-ranking officer with access to
the police evidence locker abusing his power by taking the drugs --
and that police procedures are probably just fine, because they've
worked for years.
The facts say otherwise. How Liebel had unilateral access to the
room is question one. A new revelation that as many as 14 officers
had keys to the room is another.
It's also been revealed that the Erie Bureau of Police and many
other police departments don't weigh drug evidence, which was
standard procedure for an FBI-led task force called the E.A.G.L.E.
task force (Erie Area Gang Law Enforcement), which has handled
major drug cases in the region for years.
Police agencies that don't weigh drugs fear that various ways of
weighing the drugs initially might not eventually match the amounts
logged later at the Pennsylvania State Police crime lab. Disparities
could render the evidence questionable at trial. So it's often an
accepted practice to seal, but not weigh, the drug evidence in the
belief that any tampering would be visually detected.
That's a reasonable argument, but we now have seen the potential

consequence of not weighing the drugs. Some of the content could
be taken if tampering with the evidence bag is not detected.
The bottom line is that Erie police need to establish uniform

procedures for handling drug evidence, including seriously
considering weighing the drugs, both for a temporary holding area
and the main property room. Access to evidence and how officers
handle other evidence should be reviewed as well.
This is a serious issue of credibility, not just procedure, and

Franklin's reaction, at least at first, seemed inappropriately
complacent. In light of the Liebel case, he should have wanted to
urgently question the handling of all evidence and who should have
access to it.
Fortunately, Franklin and the bureau appear ready to deal with the
access issue. But they should resist dismissing out of hand the idea
of weighing drug evidence.
They need to answer why doing so is standard procedure for a drug

task force made up of federal, state and local law-enforcement

agencies. Franklin and Mayor Joe Sinnott must see to it that
procedures are put in place to better protect evidence and to
prevent a situation like the Liebel case from happening again.

Liebel's lawyer says lieutenant plans to cooperate with investigation

The Erie police lieutenant charged with stealing cocaine from an

evidence storage room plans to cooperate with authorities as they
investigate whether any pending drug cases were compromised by
his actions, his lawyer said.
David Ridge, lawyer for the arrested officer, Robert J. Liebel, said
Liebel cooperated fully on Sunday, the day he was arrested in a
sting operation at the police station.
"It would be our intention to continue to cooperate as appropriate,"

Ridge said.
Ridge also said Friday that he planned to ask the state Attorney
General's Office to agree to a bond reduction for Liebel, who is
being held in the Crawford County Correctional Facility on $100,000
bond.

Liebel told police when he was arrested that he took the cocaine for
his personal use, according to the criminal complaint filed against
him.
"Lt. Liebel, his family and I are looking into the appropriate places
for treatment for the issues that led to the filing of these charges,"
Ridge said.
Ridge said he did not have a figure in mind for the new bond.
Ridge said if he does not reach an agreement with the Attorney

General's Office, he plans to file a motion in Erie County Court on
Tuesday seeking a reduction of Liebel's bond. The courthouse is
closed Monday for the Presidents Day holiday.
Liebel, 46, a 22-year veteran of the force, was arraigned Sunday on

misdemeanor charges after police said they caught him stealing 12
grams -- or 0.42 ounces -- of cocaine while he was the officer in
charge of a shift.
Liebel is on paid leave.
The investigation began in December after a discrepancy was

discovered in the amount of drugs seized in a pending drug case.
In that case, the amount of the drugs weighed at the Erie police
station differed from the amount later recorded at the state police
crime lab.
Investigators from Erie police internal affairs and the state Attorney
General's Office began investigating after the discrepancy came up
at a preliminary hearing Dec. 12.
District Attorney Brad Foulk's office asked the Attorney General's

Office to step in to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Ridge said he had not received information on whether more

charges would be filed against Liebel.
Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said the Bureau of Police has been
researching ways to improve evidence storage.
Foulk said his office is continuing to review cases in which evidence

was stored in the locker room at the Erie police station. His
assistant district attorneys are looking for discrepancies in the
amount of drugs seized versus the amount recorded in court.

Ex-chief wanted Liebel demoted

Police lieutenant's conduct as supervisor questioned in 2005
investigation

Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel had a high rank and lots of
responsibility when he was accused of stealing 12 grams of cocaine
from a police evidence locker a week ago.
Two years earlier, Erie's then-police chief wanted that rank and
responsibility reduced.
In late 2005, Chief Charles Bowers recommended that Liebel be

demoted to the rank of sergeant because of concerns over how
Liebel was conducting himself as a supervisor in the Bureau of
Police, according to the now-retired Erie police officer who
conducted the probe of Liebel.
Liebel held on to his job after the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge
No. 7 filed a grievance over the recommended demotion, according
to the city Solicitor's Office.
The union and the administration of Mayor Joe Sinnott resolved the
grievance in 2006, and Liebel remained a lieutenant, the Solicitor's
Office said.

By remaining a lieutenant, Liebel also got to continue his role as an

officer in charge of a patrol shift at the Erie police station.
Investigators said Liebel was the officer in charge, with access to
the police locker, when he was accused of stealing the cocaine on
Feb. 10.
Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin, who succeeded Bowers as chief in

April 2006, was in charge of the Bureau of Police when the Sinnott
administration resolved Bowers' recommendation that Liebel be
demoted.
"Whenever you think you have grounds to demote someone, you

have to ask yourself, in the final analysis, is that really the right
move?" Franklin said last week. "Obviously, he's still a lieutenant."
Franklin, citing privacy issues and personnel concerns, declined to

comment on the reasons Bowers wanted Liebel demoted. Franklin
was told the Erie Times-News understood the issues concerned how
Liebel conducted himself as an officer in charge, and how he used
his time as a police officer.
"You're hearing one side of that," Franklin said. "There's at least

two sides to every story. I'm not going to comment on previous
disciplinary action against anyone."
Concerns over conduct
Liebel, 46, a member of the Erie police force since 1986, makes
$59,160 as a lieutenant. He is suspended with pay pending the
outcome of the preliminary hearing on the misdemeanor drug and
theft charges. The hearing is schedule March 12.
Liebel since his arrest has been in the Crawford County Correctional
Facility on $100,000 bond. His lawyer, David Ridge, said he hopes
to get the bond reduced so Liebel can get out of prison and enter
treatment.
Ridge also said Liebel intends to continue to cooperate with

investigators in the drug case. Police said Liebel told the
investigators he had taken the cocaine for personal use.
In 2005, allegations of drug use did not come up during the internal
investigation of Liebel, said David Robarts, a retired assistant police
chief who conducted the probe. He said personnel and privacy
issues prevented him from commenting in detail, but he said Liebel
was under investigation for how he was behaving in a position of
authority.
"It was a question over his conduct as a police supervisor in charge

of a shift," Robarts said. "The more I uncovered, the more I made
the recommendation that he be demoted."
Robarts also said his probe focused on how Liebel ran a drug
investigation.

"There were some procedural problems," Robarts said.
Robarts said he recommended that Liebel be demoted to a

patrolman -- "He shouldn't be a supervisor," Robarts said -- and he
forwarded his findings to Bowers.
He said Bowers recommended that Liebel be demoted to a

sergeant, and Bowers forwarded the recommendation to Sinnott,
who took office in January 2006. Bowers had been police chief
under Sinnott's predecessor, Mayor Rick Filippi.
Bowers declined comment.
Bowers also briefed Franklin on the recommendation to demote

Liebel when Franklin became chief, Robarts said.
"He knew what the recommendation was," Robarts said of Franklin.

"He had the whole file."
Robarts, who was an Erie police officer for 32 years, said requests
for demotions were rare.
'A troubled officer'
The solicitor for the Sinnott administration, Greg Karle, said he

could not comment in detail on the internal case against Liebel
because of privacy and personnel issues.
But Karle said city records show the police union filed a grievance
over the recommended demotion for Liebel, and that the union and
the Sinnott administration resolved the grievance in 2006, with
Liebel retaining his rank.
If Liebel had been demoted to a sergeant, he likely would still have

had access to the evidence locker from which he was accused of
taking the cocaine. Fourteen ranking Erie police officers, including
three lieutenants and nine sergeants, have keys to the evidence
locker. The closetlike room, next to the office for the officer in
charge, is where Erie police temporarily store evidence when the
police's main evidence room is locked on weekdays between 6 p.m.
and 7 a.m. and on weekends.
As a sergeant, however, Liebel would have received less pay than a

lieutenant and would have had less authority and fewer supervisory
powers.
In commenting on the arrest of Liebel at a news conference a week

ago, Franklin, Sinnott and Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk
called the situation unfortunate.
Liebel, Sinnott said, has been "highly regarded by his fellow officers
and others in charge." Sinnott described Liebel as "a troubled
officer who had some problems."

The president of the Fraternal Order of Police, Detective Sgt. John

Barber, said the union would monitor the case.
"If he needs help," Barber said the day after Liebel's arrest, "the
lodge will be there."

Drugs and other evidence that Erie police officers gather on nights
and weekends is stored behind a locked steel door.
But the room is far from impenetrable, as shown by Sunday's arrest

of Erie Police Lt. Robert J. Liebel on charges that he stole 12 grams
of cocaine from the room.

As many as 14 Erie police officers are in a position to have keys to

the evidence locker.
Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said nine patrol sergeants, three
patrol lieutenants and two other police officials have keys to the
room. The lieutenants are the officers in charge of the three shifts,
and the sergeants -- three per shift -- are also in posts of authority.
"These are the people who normally would put evidence in the
lockers," Franklin said.
The police will review the practice of distributing keys, as well as

other procedures affecting the temporary storage of evidence, in
light of the Liebel case, Franklin said.
The only person with a key to the temporary evidence locker should
be the person in charge of the main property room, said the
president of the Burbank, Calif.-based International Association for
Property and Evidence.
"Once it's in the temporary locker, no one should have access to

that evidence other than the property room custodian. No one,"
said Joseph Latta, who is also a retired police lieutenant in Burbank.
Latta said police should store evidence temporarily by placing it in

lockers that cannot be reopened except by the property room staff.
The Erie police property room is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

weekdays. Evidence seized when the room is closed is stored in the
temporary evidence locker, which Franklin said is actually a 4-by-5-
foot room with shelves for the evidence. Franklin said the room
used to be a cell used to house drunks while they sobered up.
Steve Szwejbka, a criminal justice professor at Mercyhurst College,

said it appears Erie police need to tighten up their controls of
evidence.
"Even if it's temporary storage, a chain of custody has to be

maintained at all times for evidence to have weight in the
courtroom," Szwejbka said.
"Obviously, they are lacking some accountability."
Liebel, 46, a member of the Erie police force for 22 years, was on
duty and the officer in charge of his shift when he was accused of
taking the drugs from the evidence locker Sunday. He told
investigators the drugs were for his own use, police said. He is in
the Crawford County Correctional Facility on $100,000 bond on
misdemeanor drug charges.
Franklin said the Bureau of Police since the arrest has been
researching ways to improve the system for temporarily storing

evidence. He said one option under consideration is installing a box

-- similar to a post office box -- that cannot be accessed after drugs
are placed inside.
Franklin also said the bureau is considering a policy that would

require two witnesses to be present when drugs are stored in the
temporary evidence locker.
Mercyhurst's Szwejbka said those were the types of procedures in

place at the Jamestown (N.Y.) Police Department when he retired
from there as an acting lieutenant in 1996.
Szwejbka also said a narcotics officer was required to weigh the

drugs before they were submitted as evidence.
Erie patrol officers are not trained to weigh drugs. The drugs are
usually not weighed until they reach the Pennsylvania State Police
crime lab.
A rare instance in which an Erie police officer weighed seized drugs

helped launch the probe that ended in Liebel's arrest. In that case,
involving an arrest in November, the amount of the drugs, as
weighed at the Erie police station, differed from the amount as
recorded at the state police crime lab. Erie police and the state
Attorney General's Office started investigating after the discrepancy
came up at a preliminary hearing Dec. 12.
Most police agencies nationwide do not weigh seized drugs before

placing them into evidence, said Latta, of the International
Association for Property and Evidence.
He said factors that can affect the recorded weight of seized drugs
include different scales, a change in moisture and different
packaging.
Rather than risk a discrepancy in weights -- which could be a

problem in a courtroom and lead to accusations of drug theft from
an evidence locker -- many departments don't weigh at all and let
the crime lab do the measuring, Latta said.
"If you have the right packaging, you don't need to," he said.
"Because then you know if it's been tampered with."
He said his organization advises departments to heat-seal bags, put

evidence tape around them and then sign the tape, so that it is
obvious if a bag's seal has been broken.
Franklin said evidence bags containing drugs are stapled shut and
an evidence card attached at the Erie police station.
"It's more of a concern of things falling out of the bag than things
being stolen," Franklin said.

Tim Lucas, an Erie defense attorney, said lawyers in Erie County

rarely question the chain of custody.
"Now, I think that everyone will pay attention," he said. "It's always
been something that's generally not challenged, but I think you'll
see that more because of this."
Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk said his office is continuing
to review cases in which evidence was stored in the locker room at
the Erie police station. His assistant district attorneys are looking
for any discrepancies in the amount of drugs seized and the amount
recorded in court.
But Foulk said the Liebel case is unusual. "This is the first time I can
remember this happening," he said. "To a certain extent, you have
to rely on the integrity of the people involved in the system."
Franklin said that the Erie police's current system for logging
evidence has been in place for decades.
"This system has worked and the integrity has never been
questioned, until this," Franklin said.

Liebel arrest prompts brief legal rumpus

Fallout from an Erie police officer's arrest on cocaine theft charges

reached federal court in Erie briefly on Wednesday.
Shannon L. Mathis, a repeat drug offender awaiting sentencing for a

federal drug conviction, asked a judge to postpone his sentencing
hearing until the case against Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel could
be fully investigated.
Mathis' request was rejected within a matter of hours. But it

marked what is believed to be the first attempt to use Liebel's Feb.
10 arrest to challenge drug evidence.
Mathis, 36, of Erie, had argued unsuccessfully at his June trial in U.

S. District Court that Erie police planted drugs on him in a
September 2006 arrest.
Mathis' lawyer, Michael Hadley, of Oil City, said the defense needed
time to allow the Liebel case to play out "to see if this was a lone
criminal or just the tip of the iceberg."
Liebel is accused of stealing 12 grams of cocaine from the Erie

police evidence locker on Feb. 10 while he was acting as a shift
supervisor.
Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk said he knew of no similar

challenges being filed in Erie County Court based on Liebel's arrest.
"There have been no challenges whatsoever -- not that I am
inviting them," he said.
Foulk said if any challenges to pending drug cases are filed, they
will be dealt with "on a case-by-case basis."
"I remain confident in the integrity of the system," he said.
U.S. District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin rejected Mathis' motion

without comment just hours after it was filed.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Marshall Piccinini said the Mathis and Liebel
cases were not connected in any way, particularly because the
drugs at play in Mathis' case were never stored at the Erie police

station.
An Erie police internal affairs inspector and an agent from the state
Attorney General's Office arrested Liebel in a sting operation on
Feb. 10.
They said he removed cocaine from an evidence locker adjacent to

his office. At the time of his arrest, Liebel said he took the cocaine
for personal use, police said.
Liebel is in the Crawford County Correctional Facility on $100,000

bond.
The investigation that led to Liebel's arrest began in December after

an apparent shortfall of cocaine was discovered during a
preliminary hearing in Erie County Central Court for four drug
defendants.
The amount of cocaine recorded at the time of arrest was nearly 27

grams more than the amount that was sent to the state police
laboratory for analysis.
Once that discrepancy was discovered, prosecutors offered a plea

deal to all four defendants, agreeing to drop the felony drug
charges because of the problems with the amount of cocaine.
In addition, the day after Liebel's arrest, Foulk announced that his
staff will review pending drug cases to ensure that no drugs were
missing.
He said Wednesday that review is continuing.
Mathis is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday. A jury found him

guilty in June of two counts of possessing cocaine with intent to
distribute it.
Mathis was on probation for an unrelated federal drug conviction

when he was arrested in September 2006 on charges he sold
cocaine to a police informant. He faces a mandatory minimum
sentence of at least 10 years in federal prison because of his prior
criminal record, which includes three prior drug convictions.
Piccinini has asked McLaughlin to issue a more severe sentence.

Mathis threatened three witnesses who helped build the case
against him, Piccinini said in court filings.
He said Mathis also tried to get a man to lie at trial for him.

The requests are the first of their kind to be filed at the Erie County
Courthouse in response to the arrest of an Erie police lieutenant on
charges he stole 12 grams of cocaine from an Erie police evidence
room on Feb. 10.
The lieutenant, Robert J. Liebel, has not been charged in connection

with the missing 28 grams of cocaine, which disappeared after Erie
police arrested the two men and two co-defendants on drug and
conspiracy charges Nov. 2.
However, the disappearance of the cocaine in the November case

prompted investigators to launch the undercover probe that ended
in Liebel's arrest on Feb. 10, District Attorney Brad Foulk has said.
The two defendants who filed motions are Joseph R. Wayne, 18,
and Kevin McLaurin, 20. Their lawyers want Judge John Garhart to
suppress as evidence the remaining 57.1 grams of cocaine that
police said they seized from a car in which Wayne, McLaurin and
the two co-defendants were riding in the 1200 block of Ash Street.

Wayne's lawyer, John Carlson, said the evidence is tainted. He

argued in a court motion that Erie police, according to preliminary-
hearing testimony, said an officer initially seized 85.6 grams of
cocaine -- or 3 ounces -- but that police sent only 57.1 grams -- or
2 ounces -- to the state police crime lab for testing.
Missing is 28.5 grams of cocaine -- or 1 ounce.
"There is a grave conflict between the amount of drugs allegedly

seized from the car and the amount submitted to the lab," Carlson
said in the motion, filed Wednesday.
"The discrepancy calls into question the identity of the drugs tested.
Furthermore, the discrepancy suggests that the evidence has been
tampered with. In light of the discrepancies, it is impossible to
establish that the identity and condition of the original evidence
remained intact. Therefore the evidence is inadmissible."
The lawyer for McLaurin, Garrett Taylor, filed a similar motion

Wednesday. Taylor referred to Liebel's arrest and linked Liebel to
the missing drugs in his client's case. Authorities have said the
investigation of Liebel is ongoing.
"It is believed that the city of Erie police have reason to believe that
the drugs seized in this case were tampered with by this same
officer, and in fact the disappearance of drugs in this case may
have been the impetus for the investigation into this particular
officer," Taylor said.
Also charged in the November case were McLaurin's brother, Dorrell

McLaurin, 26, and Thea A. White III, 22, according to court records.
The lawyer for Dorrell McLaurin, Michael DeJohn, said he plans to

file a suppression motion over the missing cocaine. The lawyer for
White, Keith Clelland, said he has talked to Foulk and believes the
case will be resolved to his client's benefit. Clelland said he does not
intend to file a suppression motion.
Foulk has said his office in January offered a plea deal to all four
defendants, agreeing to drop felony drug charges because of the
problems with the missing cocaine, which was initially thought to be
26.9 grams rather than 28.5 grams. The defendants were also
charged with misdemeanors.
Foulk said Wednesday he will discuss the case with his staff on
Friday, and that Carlson filed his motion Wednesday to meet a
deadline.
"This motion does not come as a surprise," Foulk said.
Liebel, 46, who is suspended with pay, is scheduled for a

preliminary hearing March 12. He was released on bond Tuesday so
he could enroll in a drug rehabilitation program.

Liebel is accused of taking cocaine from a room that temporarily

stores evidence. He was the supervisor of the shift at the police
station when the cocaine disappeared Feb. 10. Police said he told
investigators that he took the drugs for personal use.
In the case involving Wayne and the other defendants, Erie police
Lt. Steve Goozdich testified at a preliminary hearing in December
that he had logged 85.6 grams of cocaine during the course of the
arrest of the four defendants in November, according to court
records.
At the hearing, Clelland, the lawyer for White, asked Goozdich why
the state police crime lab said the drugs amounted to 57.1 grams.
Goozdich said he didn't know, but that he would find out.
That promise launched a two-month joint investigation by the state

Attorney General's Office and the Erie police. The probe led to the
Feb. 10 arrest of Liebel, a 22-year veteran of the force, in a sting
involving the 12 grams of cocaine.

Tale of 2 cocaine cases

State law details difference between personal use, intent to deliver
Location: BY ED PALATTELLA
Posts: 31403
Published: March 10. 2008 6:00AM
Duran M. Seawright, a 24-year-old Erie resident, was accused of

having a bag of 3.9 grams of cocaine as he was walking in the 700

block of Wallace Street in July.
Police said they also found plastic bags, scales and ***** blades as
part of the case.
If convicted, Seawright faces a mandatory minimum sentence of

one to two years on the drug charge.
Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel, 46, a member of the force for 22
years, was accused of stealing 12 grams of cocaine from an Erie
police evidence room in February.
Police said Liebel told investigators the cocaine was for himself.
If convicted, Liebel faces no more than one year in prison on the

drug charge.
The difference?
Seawright was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to

deliver, a felony that carries mandatory minimum sentences.
Liebel, who is accused of having nearly three times as much cocaine

as Seawright, was charged with possession of cocaine, a
misdemeanor that carries no mandatory minimum sentences.
If Liebel were charged with possession with intent to deliver, he

would face a mandatory minimum sentence of three to six years
because of the amount of the cocaine.
The difference in the handling of the two investigations points to

how Pennsylvania law can work in cocaine cases.
The Pennsylvania courts have long said that the amount of drugs
alone is not enough evidence to automatically charge a suspect with
possession with intent to deliver, or PWID, rather than simple
possession.
The courts have said police usually must point to other evidence --
the presence of scales, for example, or ***** blades, or plastic
bags or money -- to prove the suspect possessed the drugs with
the intent to deliver.
In some instances, the amount of drugs might be so large -- a

kilogram of cocaine, for example -- that drug trafficking is apparent.
When the amount of cocaine is not enormous, however, whether a

drug case turns into a felony or a misdemeanor can often become a
matter of how the police and the prosecution choose to apply the
law, given the facts of the case.
For some local defense attorneys, the handling of the Liebel case is

unusual -- even taking into account Pennsylvania law's requirement

that supporting evidence is needed to support a charge of
possession with intent to deliver.
"Every case that I have ever handled when a person has 12 grams
of cocaine, they were charged with PWID, initially," said Erie County
Public Defender Tony Logue, who estimated his office handles 90
percent of the drug cases in the county. "I don't believe anyone
else on my staff has seen anything different."
The Public Defender's Office is handling the Seawright case. It is

also handling the case of another defendant, Ronald Curry, 26,
whom Erie police originally charged with possession with intent to
deliver 0.11 grams of cocaine in October. That charge was later
withdrawn, and Curry now is facing only the third-degree
misdemeanor of possession of drug paraphernalia, according to
court records.
Erie defense lawyer Tim Lucas, who was an assistant district

attorney in the 1980s, said he believes someone accused of
possessing 12 grams of cocaine usually faces a felony PWID charge
immediately.
Lucas said he doubts any local defense lawyer, him included, "can
remember a time when they had a client initially charged with
possession only, a misdemeanor, with that quantity."
'Intended for personal use'
In arresting Liebel Feb. 10, an agent with the state Attorney

General's Office and the internal affairs inspector for the Erie police
said Liebel admitted to taking the cocaine, which was being stored
in a room that holds evidence temporarily at the police station.
Liebel, the investigators also said in the criminal complaint, told

them the cocaine "was intended for his own personal use." Police
found no drug paraphernalia on Liebel, who is accused of stealing
the drugs while on duty.
Liebel's lawyer, David Ridge, on Feb. 26 got a judge's approval to

move Liebel from prison to a drug rehabilitation facility while Liebel
awaits his preliminary hearing, which has been rescheduled to April
28. Ridge's focus on Liebel's need for treatment has underscored
the defense's contention that Liebel intended to keep for himself the
cocaine he is accused of stealing.
"We are very firm in that position," Ridge said.
He said the way police treated Liebel is also consistent with

Pennsylvania law regarding charging a suspect with possession with
intent to deliver cocaine.
"The quantity in itself is not dispositive," Ridge said. "It is a factor,

but it is not dispositive."

Though Liebel has been charged with stealing only the 12 grams of
cocaine, his case has prompted questions of whether more cocaine
was stolen from the police station.
Discrepancies that surfaced in an Erie drug case at a preliminary

hearing in December triggered the probe that led to Liebel's arrest.
At the December hearing, testimony showed that Erie police initially
seized 85.6 grams of cocaine -- or about 3 ounces -- in a November
arrest but that police sent only 57.1 grams -- or about 2 ounces --
to the state police crime lab for testing.
Missing is 28.5 grams of cocaine, or about 1 ounce.
One of the defense lawyers in the case is alleging Liebel also

tampered with the 28.5 grams. That claim puts the total amount of
tampered cocaine at 40.5 grams, or 1.4 ounces -- the 12 grams
Liebel is accused of stealing, and the 28.5 grams that is missing.
A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, Kevin Harley, said

he could not comment on the specifics of the Liebel probe.
"Our investigation is continuing," Harley said.
Questions of tolerance
Liebel is also facing other charges, including theft, tampering with

evidence and obstruction of justice, and those counts could add to
his possible sentence, if he is convicted.
And Seawright, the 23-year-old drug defendant, has a lengthy prior

record, which would add to any sentence he would receive in his
drug case, if he is convicted.
Pennsylvania's sentencing laws for drug offenses, however, will be

the major influence in the cases of Liebel and Seawright, just as
they are in any case involving cocaine and other controlled
substances. Those sentencing laws are clear: The charge of
possession with intent to deliver carries a mandatory minimum
sentence of one to two years if at least 2 grams of cocaine are
involved.
The law does not mean that police in all such cases must charge a
defendant with possession with intent to deliver cocaine. Even in
cases in which the amount of cocaine is much more than 2 grams,
PWID might not be appropriate, Erie lawyer Leonard Ambrose said.
He said a longtime addict with a high tolerance for cocaine could
use 12 grams of cocaine on his or her own.
"In my experience, there are people who can use even more than
that over two days, depending on the purity," Ambrose said. "Once
the tolerance increases, the amount used is going up."

Lucas, who regularly tries drug cases, said he recently represented

a client who was accused of possession with intent to deliver for
having 17 grams of cocaine. Lucas said a police agency in the
county charged his client despite having "no other indicia to suggest
anything other than the fact that this kid had 17 grams of cocaine
to party with."
Lucas said the jury convicted his client only of possession. He said
drug cases he defends often center only on whether the defendant
is guilty of possession with intent to deliver or simple possession.
"Many trials are on that issue," Lucas said. "The stakes are huge."
What's next
The preliminary hearing for Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel, accused
of stealing 12 grams of cocaine from an evidence room, has been
rescheduled from Wednesday to April 28. His lawyer, David Ridge,
said he asked for the postponement because Liebel remains at a
treatment center. Liebel, who makes $59,160 as a lieutenant, will
continue to be suspended without pay pending the outcome of his

Hearing: More cocaine taken


Posts: 31403
Published: April 03. 2008 6:00AM
The question has been lying in wait since the day authorities said
they caught Erie police Lt. Robert J. Liebel stealing 12 grams of
cocaine from an evidence locker at the police station in February.
Had any other drugs been stolen?
Investigators answered the question at a hearing in Erie County

Court on Wednesday.
They presented as evidence a grainy surveillance videotape that

showed Liebel coming and going from the same evidence locker on
a weekend in November, when he was not scheduled to work.
Erie police Inspector James DeDionisio testified that Liebel admitted

he stole about 28.5 grams of cocaine -- or approximately an ounce
-- during the November trips to the locker.
The cocaine DeDionisio said Liebel stole in November was supposed

to be evidence against four men Erie police arrested Nov. 2 at the
intersection of East 12th and Ash streets -- brothers Dorrell
McLaurin, 26, and Kevin McLaurin, 21, and co-defendants Joseph R.
Wayne, 18, and Thea A. White III, 22.
Judge John Garhart held Wednesday's hearing to evaluate a

defense request that he throw out the cocaine as evidence because
it had been tampered with,
Police have not charged Liebel over the cocaine that DeDionisio said
was stolen in November.
The state Attorney General's Office charged Liebel in the February

case, accusing him of misdemeanor charges of drug possession,
theft and other charges connected with a sting at the police station
Feb. 10.
Investigators said Liebel, a shift supervisor on duty at the time,

admitted removing the 12 grams of cocaine. The drugs had been
left as bait in the evidence locker -- a closet-like space where police
temporarily store evidence before moving it into the main evidence
room.
A spokesman for the state Attorney General's Office could not be

immediately reached for comment about whether Liebel will face

additional charges. The spokesman, Kevin Harley, has previously
said the probe of Liebel is continuing.
Erie County District Attorney Brad Foulk on Wednesday said he did

not want to speak for the Attorney General's Office, to which he
forwarded the initial investigation of Liebel. But Foulk said he
believes that the drug probe is ongoing.
Liebel, 46, a member of the Erie police force for 22 years, told
police he stole the cocaine in February for his own use, according to
the criminal complaint.
Liebel since his arrest has been suspended with pay -- his annual
salary is $59,160 -- pending the outcome of his preliminary hearing
April 29. Liebel is out on bond and receiving treatment at a
rehabilitation facility.
Effect on future cases
As Liebel waits to see what will happen in his criminal case, the Erie
County District Attorney's Office is facing its own concern -- how to
proceed with the prosecution of the four men police arrested in
November. Liebel is now accused of taking a portion of the main
evidence in the case -- the seized cocaine.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers met in Judge Garhart's courtroom

to hammer out how to move ahead.
At issue is whether the case can remain intact, even as the

prosecution conceded in open court that Liebel admitted he
removed about an ounce of the drugs.
The defense is arguing that the break in the chain of custody of the
drugs -- or when Liebel tampered with them, based on the
testimony -- makes it impossible for the prosecution to assure the
condition of the evidence remained "unimpaired" from the time of
seizure to the time of trial.
The prosecution is arguing that the cocaine it plans to use at trial is

the same cocaine taken from the four defendants --minus about an
ounce the prosecution is acknowledging Liebel took.
To make that argument, the prosecution found itself in the bizarre

position of assuring the integrity of its evidence by presenting the
videotape that showed Liebel was to blame for the missing drugs.
Inspector DeDionisio, who is in charge of internal investigations at

the Erie Bureau of Police, played the video. Liebel could be seen
coming and going from an evidence locker on the weekend of Nov.
3 and 4, after the four defendants' arrests Nov. 2.
Garhart made no ruling Wednesday on whether he will suppress the

cocaine as evidence, which would likely lead to the dismissal of the

charges against the four defendants.
Garhart told the prosecutors -- Roger Bauer and Carrie Munsee,

both assistant district attorneys -- and the defense lawyers -- John
Carlson, Garrett Taylor and Michael DeJohn -- that he aims to
decide whether the prosecution's evidence can be viewed as the
same as that seized from the defendants.
Start of the case
The investigation of Liebel and the dispute over the drugs in the
case against the four defendants began during a preliminary
hearing for the four in December.
Defendant Thea White's lawyer, Keith Clelland, asked why some of

the seized cocaine was missing.
Erie police Lt. Steve Goozdich testified at the preliminary hearing

that he had logged 85.6 grams of cocaine during the course of the
arrest of the four defendants Nov. 2, according to court records.
Clelland asked Goozdich why the state police crime lab said the
drugs amounted to 57.1 grams -- a discrepancy of 28.5 grams of
cocaine.
Goozdich said he didn't know, but that he would find out.
The inquiry triggered the investigation by DeDionisio and the state

Attorney General's Office, which led to the February arrest of Liebel.
That arrest also helped spur the review of Liebel's past behavior,
and the arrest prompted the Erie police to change the way it
handles evidence.
The changes include limiting the number of officers who have keys
to the evidence locker, and the installation of a lockbox inside the
locker. All drugs and money are now put in the lockbox, which has
an opening similar to a mailbox, where you can deposit items but
not retrieve them.

BY LISA THOMPSON
Erie police arrested four Erie men in November after officers said
they found them in a stolen Chevrolet Impala with three 1-ounce
bags of cocaine.
An Erie police lieutenant's decision to help himself to about a third

of that cocaine has released the four from prosecution, Erie County
District Attorney Brad Foulk said.
Citing the actions of police Lt. Robert J. Liebel, Foulk dismissed all
charges against the four defendants -- Dorrell McLaurin, 26; his
brother, Kevin McLaurin, 21; and co-defendants Joseph R. Wayne,
18; and Thea A. White III, 22.
Foulk said internal investigations have caused him to believe the

drug case against the four was the only one compromised by the
actions of Liebel. The 22-year veteran of the police force has been
suspended with pay as he awaits an April 29 preliminary hearing on
charges he stole cocaine from the Erie police station in February.
"I feel this unprecedented step is necessary to restore the faith that
this community has in our law enforcement officers, which
unfortunately has been compromised by the unfortunate and
alleged illegal conduct by one of our own," Foulk said.
Liebel, 46, has been charged only over the 12 grams of cocaine --
or nearly half an ounce -- that he is accused of taking from the Erie
police's evidence locker during a sting Feb. 10. But the case against
him remains open.
Kevin Harley, a spokesman for Attorney General Tom Corbett,

whose office is handling the case against Liebel, said Thursday the

November incident remains under investigation.
Foulk, who dismissed the charges against the four men on

Thursday, said there seemed to be little doubt that Erie police found
cocaine in the car with the men when they were stopped at the
intersection of East 12th and Ash streets on Nov. 2.
But he said he dropped the charges in the interest of "fairness and

justice" because a police investigation had revealed Liebel removed
about an ounce of cocaine from the quantity seized during the
men's arrests.
All four defendants had been free on bond. Paperwork clearing

them of the charges was filed before noon on Thursday.
On the heels of a hearing
Foulk's decision to drop the charges came a day after prosecutors

from his office appeared in Erie County Judge John Garhart's
courtroom to defend the cocaine evidence as admissible in court
against the McLaurins, Wayne and White.
The prosecution argued the cocaine it plans to use at trial is the

same cocaine taken from the four defendants -- minus about an
ounce the prosecution acknowledged Liebel took.
To make that argument, the prosecution found itself in the bizarre

position of assuring the integrity of its evidence by presenting a
videotape that showed Liebel was to blame for the missing drugs in
the November case. The main prosecution witness at the hearing
was Erie police Inspector James DeDionisio. He played the video
and said Liebel admitted he took the 28.5 grams of cocaine --
approximately an ounce -- from the evidence locker on Nov. 3 and
4, the weekend after the arrest of the four men. Liebel was not
working at the time.
Garhart was mulling a request from the defense. The lawyers for
the four men had prompted Wednesday's hearing by filing a motion
in which they argued the cocaine evidence should be thrown out.
The lawyers said the missing cocaine prevented the prosecution
from ensuring the chain of custody of the drugs was unbroken.
Foulk's dismissal of the charges makes the defense's request moot.
"No matter how great or small the charges, judges and lawyers
must ensure that evidence to be offered at trial remains unimpaired
in its identity and condition from the time of arrest to final verdict,"
said Erie lawyer John Carlson, who represented defendant Joseph
Wayne.
"To permit tampered evidence to enter into the courtroom would

compromise the high standards of due process and a citizen's right
to a fair trial. After hearing the evidence, I am pleased that the
district attorney recognized this and dismissed the charges."

In the February case, investigators with the state Attorney

General's Office said Liebel, a shift supervisor on duty at the time,
admitted removing the 12 grams of cocaine from the evidence
locker, a closetlike space where Erie police temporarily store
evidence before moving it into the main evidence room. Liebel told
investigators he stole the cocaine in February for his own use,
according to the criminal complaint.
Liebel is accused of misdemeanor charges including drug possession

and theft. He is out on bond and receiving treatment at a
rehabilitation facility.
The investigation that led to that sting was triggered when

authorities discovered at a December preliminary hearing that 28.5
grams was missing in the case against the McLaurins, Wayne and
White.
'Time to move forward'

Liebel's arrest in February prompted the Erie police to tighten the
procedures in how it handles evidence.
In making the decision to drop the charges on Thursday, Foulk said

he had consulted with Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin and Inspector
DeDionisio, who handles internal-affairs probes for the Erie police
and who had investigated Liebel with the Attorney General's Office.
Since he took office eight years ago, Foulk said, his office has
worked closely with law enforcement to protect the community from
the "scourge of drug trafficking."
He said the work of local law enforcement has resulted in "hundreds

of convictions in drug trafficking cases."
"It is now time to move forward with our commitment to equally

enforce all of the drug laws in Erie County," Foulk said.

Drug case broadens against Erie police lieutenant


Posts: 31403
The deputy police chief and a state agent secretly watched live
video surveillance of the Erie police evidence-storage locker as they
sat two floors above in the Bureau of Professional Standards office.
In a weapons room below, Erie police Inspector James DeDionisio

was hidden, with only a door and a painted-over window between
him and the storage locker that, lately, had been leaking cocaine.
The bait lay sealed on a shelf.
It was a stapled evidence bag containing two 3-ounce packages of

state Attorney General's Office cocaine that -- for the purposes of
this operation -- was labeled as being seized at an Erie bus depot.
The target of the Feb.10 sting, Lt. Robert J. Liebel, did not pause
when he arrived for his Sunday evening shift as supervisor. He
went straight for the bait, witnesses said Tuesday at Liebel's
Liebel would tell investigators in the interview that followed that he

had pilfered cocaine like this between five and 10 times since
October, DeDionisio said.
As DeDionisio crouched in the next room and listened during the

sting, he heard the sound of crumpling paper, then Liebel inhaled
"fiercely" three times, DeDionisio said. There was no evidence he
inhaled the drugs, DeDionisio said.
They remained stapled in the envelope once Liebel left the room, he

said. Liebel was apparently smelling the bag, possibly to determine

its contents.
Later that afternoon, Liebel returned. Only this time, DeDionisio

testified, Liebel left the room with 12 grams of bait cocaine, or
about four-tenths of an ounce.
New developments
At Liebel's preliminary hearing, investigators gave the court an

inside glimpse of the internal investigation and sting that led to the
February arrest of the 22-year Erie police veteran.
The investigators and prosecutors also announced six new charges.
Liebel, 46, now stands accused of stealing 28.5 grams -- or about

an ounce -- of cocaine that was evidence in a pending Erie drug
case on two dates in November. It was the discrepancy in the
amount of cocaine seized in that case, discovered in December,
that triggered the February sting.
And testimony revealed for the first time Tuesday that Liebel
admitted to stealing cocaine from the evidence locker up to 10
times between October and February.
After the hearing, Police Chief Steve Franklin said no more charges
were likely to be filed. He and DeDionisio said other possible thefts
of cocaine were investigated, but could not be confirmed, in part
because it appeared the amounts taken were so small.
Based on testimony offered Tuesday, Union City District Judge Carol

Southwick ordered bound over for trial the initial charges Liebel
faced from the sting -- one count each of cocaine possession, theft
and receiving stolen property.
She also bound over the six new counts that were added Tuesday in
connection with the ounce of cocaine stolen on Nov. 3 and 4 --
three counts each of possession of controlled substance, theft and
receiving stolen property.
One count undecided
Southwick withheld her ruling on one count of obstruction of justice.
The prosecutor, Deputy Attorney General Laurel Brandstetter,

argued that Liebel as a police officer knew his actions could
compromise a pending prosecution, and that he therefore intended
to obstruct justice.
Liebel's lawyer, David Ridge, argued that Liebel sought only to feed
an addiction and had no intent to harm another officer's
investigation.

Before the hearing, Brandstetter withdrew a charge of tampering

with evidence, saying there was not enough evidence to support it.
Liebel had been on paid suspension since the day of his arrest on
Feb. 10. His salary is $59,160.
Police Chief Steve Franklin said Tuesday after the hearing that
Liebel is now on unpaid leave because the charges have been
bound over for trial.
The long-term fate of Liebel's job won't be known until the case has
been resolved, Franklin said.
Liebel was released on bond shortly after his arrest to begin

treatment at a rehabilitation facility. It could not immediately be
determined Tuesday if he is still in treatment.
How the probe started
The case began in December during a preliminary hearing for four

men who were arrested in November in a traffic stop. Police said
they found the men in a stolen Chevrolet Impala with three 1-ounce
bags of cocaine. A defense lawyer noted that the amount of cocaine
listed as seized by the arresting officer was 28.5 grams more than
the amount sent to the state police lab for analysis.
DeDionisio testified Tuesday that he knew where to look first when

the cocaine disappeared.
He turned to video surveillance of City Hall, where nearly two

months' worth of recordings showed just one officer -- Liebel --
making trip after trip to the temporary evidence storage. The
closetlike space was used to temporarily store evidence before
moving it into the main evidence room.
"Usually, right at the beginning of his shift, he would go right into

the property evidence room," DeDionisio said.
The case was turned over to the state Attorney General's Office to
avoid potential conflict of interest. On Jan. 30, the sting was
planned, John Piasecki, an investigator for the state Attorney
General's Office, testified.
Witness describes sting
DeDionisio said Liebel entered and exited the evidence locker about
2 p.m. at the start of his shift. He then returned at about 4:40 p.m.
and exited. When he left, the cocaine package was gone, DeDionisio
said. Liebel then returned the package moments later, but when
DeDionisio weighed it, it was missing 12 grams of cocaine.
When the investigators stopped Liebel in the hall a short time later,
he dropped some of the cocaine from his hand, said Piasecki.

"Lt. Liebel said, 'I was going to drug test this,'" Piasecki said.
Liebel agreed to be interviewed, the investigators said.
DeDionisio said that when Liebel was confronted with the video
surveillance, he admitted he had taken the cocaine for personal
use. He told investigators he started using the drug after he injured
his hand in October.

Deputy charged after boat full of people slams through docks

Registered: Mar 2004 an ABC Action News report 02/07/05
Location: Tampa Florida
Posts: 605 ST. PETE BEACH - A boat full of people plowed into a Pinellas County
dock last night, and investigators say a deputy was at the helm.
Now, Cpl. Paul Brock of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office is facing
charges of boating under the influence while witnesses remain
amazed that no one was seriously hurt.
Based on the damage to the docks, it is evident that the boat was
traveling at a high rate of speed when it smashed through five
wooden walkways off Blind Pass Road in St. Pete Beach.
"The sound was unbelievable. It almost sounded like a building was

collapsing," witness Mark Wojnar recalled.

There were over a dozen people on board at the time of the accident,
but Wojnar, an Orange County firefighter and EMT, said no one
suffered a serious injury.
One of the walkways smashed by a boat over the weekend; another

is visible in the background.
"Everybody was screaming and yelling. One lady was in the water, a
guy had jumped in and got her. We just started getting everybody off
the boat and assessing all their injuries. Really everybody was just
shook up. It was unbelievable nobody was hurt more," Wojnar
continued.
Splintered boards were all that was left of the walkways Monday. But
the boat evidently missed the large vertical pylons that would have
made things much worse for those on board.
"All it had to do is go a foot to the right or the left and it would have
hit one of these pylons here, and it would have just been a
catastrophe," Wojnar observed. "It's unbelievable that it didn't hit
anything else."
Other witnesses said Monday that another boat may have been
involved in an accident, but it apparently sped away after the
accident.
Action News reporter John Thomas will have more on this story
tonight, starting at 5.

Condo owners say not much activity usually happens at St. Pete
Yacht and Tennis Condominiums in St. Pete Beach.
However, after a boat accident Sunday night that damaged five

docks, there was "lots of yelling and screaming," according to witness
David Wise. The accident destroyed five docks and landed a veteran
Pinellas County Sheriff's Office deputy in big trouble.
At a press conference about the accident Monday, the Florida Fish

and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said Deputy Paul Brock,
41, was drunk as he navigated his 28-foot Baha at high speeds with
as many as 13 other people on board.

"It's an unusual situation to find a deputy with as much experience as

this one had in this situation, and it's unfortunate," said Gary Morse
with FWC.
Brock admitted to boating while under the influence. Although he has

earned many awards and is a 21-year veteran of the sheriff's office,
he's been disciplined numerous time.
In July of 2002 and in April of 2003, Brock received counseling after

being involved in what the sheriff's office considered preventable
crashes. In May of 2003, he was reprimanded for a third accident.
Pinellas County Sheriff's Office administrators say Brock has yet to be

suspended for Sunday's actions and that disciplinary action will come
pending the outcome of a full investigation.
Malogrides, left, and Solitor were injured in the accident.
"Internal affairs will start a review process and then make a

determination as to what level the investigation needs to go forward
from there," said Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Public Information
Officer Mac McMullen.
It is likely at least two of the passengers onboard Brock's boat will file
suits for the injuries they sustained. Gayle Malogrides and Pete
Solitor were both injured when the crashed into the docks. However,
no one on the boat was seriously injured.

St. Pete Beach - A veteran Pinellas County Sheriff's Deputy is
charged with boating under the influence of alcohol. 22-year-veteran
Corporal Paul Brock will be allowed to continue his patrol duties
during an internal investigation. Investigators say Brock operated a
28-foot boat with 13 people on board that crashed into five docks at
the Yacht and Tennis Club of St. Pete Beach. No one was hurt, but
Donald Jaffe's dock is gone.
DOCK OWNER DONALD JAFFE:

"It's a shock. I can't believe it. I guess we're all shocked. How could
he come in this close?"
FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE SPOKESMAN GARY MORSE:

"“It’s an unusual situation to find a deputy with as much experience
as this one had in this situation and it’s unfortunate."

Boating under the influence is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a

$1,000 fine and/or one year in jail.
Corporal Brock also refused a breathalyzer test which carries a civil

penalty of $500.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Pinellas County sheriff's deputy was charged early Monday with

boating under the influence after he ran his speedboat into some
docks near St. Pete Beach, causing a few passengers to fall into the
water, authorities said.
No one was seriously injured in the crash.
Paul D. Brock, 41, a 21-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office, refused to

take a breath test and has been charged with boating under the
influence, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and a
year in jail.
Brock, a patrol deputy, remains on duty. The sheriff's internal affairs

unit also is investigating the incident, said Mac McMullen, a sheriff's
spokesman.
Authorities responded shortly after midnight Monday when Brock's 28-

foot Baha speedboat crashed into five docks near St. Pete Yacht and
Tennis Condominiums in St. Pete Beach, said Gary Morse, a
spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission,
which is investigating the accident.
Investigators think the boat was carrying 13 people, some of whom

fell into the water when it crashed, Morse said. A few of the
passengers left before the authorities arrived, while others were
treated at the scene. The boat may have exceeded its capacity, Morse
said.
The boat was punctured several times in the crash, which caused
significant damage to the docks, Morse said. It was unknown how fast
the boat had been traveling, but considering the damage it caused,
investigators believe the boat had likely violated the minimum wake

requirement. Additional charges are possible.
"One of the officers had smelled alcohol on his breath," said Morse,
adding that empty beer bottles were found on board.
In his work as a deputy, Brock has been cited three times since 2002
in preventable accidents. In the first two occasions, he was referred to
counseling and in the most recent incident in May 2003 he received a
written reprimand.
In recent years, Brock also has received four certificates of

professionalism and in July 2003 was given a distinguished service
award.
Brock could not be reached for comment Monday. He was released

from county jail on $250 bail.

News Channel 8 <
ST. PETE BEACH - An off-duty Pinellas County sheriff's deputy was

drunk early Monday when the 28-foot motorboat he was piloting
veered from the Intracoastal Waterway and crashed through five
docks at a waterfront condominium complex, state officials said.
Paul D. Brock, 41, of St. Petersburg, was arrested and charged with
boating under the influence, a misdemeanor. He was released from
Pinellas County Jail after posting $250 bail.
Neither Brock nor any of the roughly 13 people onboard were

seriously injured in the 12:52 a.m. wreck, said Gary Morse,
spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission.
The accident occurred in the marina at the Yacht & Tennis Club of St.
Pete Beach, a 353- unit condominium complex at 9445 Blind Pass
Road, overlooking Boca Ciega Bay.
``The bang woke me up, and I could hear screaming, so I jumped

out of bed, and I saw a white boat, ... and there were people on the
edge of it screaming,'' said David Wise, a condominium resident. A
handful of passengers might have been catapulted overboard with
the quick succession of impacts, but none was in the water when

authorities arrived, officials said.
The five docks, worth about $10,000 apiece, were destroyed, said
Joy Shumaker, the complex manager's assistant. `Ìt looks like
someone came through with a chain saw and cut them in half,'' she
said.
Morse could not say how fast the Baha runabout was going; the
wreck occurred in a minimum wake zone.
Brock, who refused to submit to a Breathalyzer blood alcohol test,

was taken into custody after an investigator noted the damage to the
docks and the smell of alcohol on Brock's breath, an arrest affidavit
states.
Brock, a 22-year-veteran, is the subject of an internal affairs

investigation at the sheriff's office, a result of the collision, said
sheriff's spokesman Mac McMullen. He has not been put on
administrative leave, however, because he has been charged only
with a misdemeanor.
Three times in his career, he has been counseled or reprimanded for

accidents involving his squad car that his bosses thought he could
have prevented, McMullen said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LARGO - A Pinellas sheriff's deputy was sentenced to a year of
probation and ordered to pay $16,000 in restitution Tuesday after he
was convicted in an alcohol-related boating accident in which he
plowed his speedboat into several docks.
Paul D. Brock, 41, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of

boating under the influence. He was arrested Feb. 7 after he ran his
boat into some docks near St. Pete Beach.
About a dozen people were on the boat at the time. A couple reported

minor injuries.
Brock, a 21-year agency veteran, refused a breath test and was

booked into the Pinellas County Jail. He was released after posting
$250 bail.
Internal affairs detectives opened an investigation into Brock's

behavior, which was ongoing Tuesday, sheriff's spokesman Mac
McMullen said.
Because Brock was charged with just a misdemeanor, he was not

placed on administrative leave and remains on active duty as a patrol
deputy, McMullen said.
Authorities were called shortly after midnight Feb. 7 when Brock's 28-
foot Baha speedboat crashed into five docks near St. Pete Yacht and
Tennis Condominiums in St. Pete Beach.
Some of the boat's occupants fell into the water. Officers said they
smelled alcohol on Brock's breath and arrested him.
"I'm surprised nobody was killed," said Bruce Bartlett, the chief
assistant in State Attorney Bernie McCabe's office. "There were a lot of
lucky people out there that night."
Brock has no previous criminal history and made an effort to resolve

the case quickly rather than fight the charges, Bartlett said.
He said the probationary sentence is standard for someone in Brock's

position. The maximum sentence is a year in jail.
"He basically was treated like anybody else," Bartlett said.
Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Donald Horrox ordered Brock to pay a

$560 fine and $250 in court costs. Brock also must perform 50 hours
of community service and attend DUI school. He cannot drink during
his probation, Bartlett said.
Horrox also ordered Brock to pay $16,035 in restitution to the yacht

and tennis association.

Published July 31, 2005
It began as a leisurely cruise on a cool, clear evening after the Super

Bowl.
About a dozen people - a bartender, a nurse, a waitress and a model

for the Home Shopping Network - drank beer and talked as they rode
in a 28-foot boat from one bar to another off St. Pete Beach.
At the helm was Pinellas sheriff's Cpl. Paul Brock.
He told investigators he had six to 10 drinks during the day, including

two bottles of Michelob Ultra at his last stop. Then, he steered north
in the Intracoastal Waterway after midnight.
What happened next, he told investigators, was an unfortunate

accident.
Brock said he was traveling 5 to 7 mph in his yellow Baja sport

fisherman when he approached a curve in Boca Ciega Bay. Then, the
weight of his 12 passengers shifted. The throttle suddenly moved
forward and tilted the boat, causing him to fall down, Brock said.
The boat shot forward in the dark, speeding up to 25 mph. Before

Brock could regain control, the boat slammed through five wooden
docks in a violent collision that ripped off the center console and
tossed two people overboard. The crash was so loud as many as 32
people called 911.
Brock, 42, pleaded no contest to boating under the influence in March.
But the case is now the subject of a civil lawsuit, with a 60-year-old
woman who was a passenger on the boat offering a different account
of the incident. She says Brock was racing another boat.
Gayle Malogrides of St. Petersburg wants Brock to pay her medical

bills for two broken ribs and ruptured breast implants.
"He has only received a slap on the hand," Malogrides said. "It could
have been so tragic."
***
The circumstances surrounding the Feb. 7 crash have been somewhat

difficult to discern. The passengers on board, at least 12, were not
the most cooperative group.

Some tossed beer bottles into the water before officers arrived,
according to witnesses. Others tried to leave the scene, causing
investigators to call a local taxi company and request they not give
anyone a ride.
While most passengers gave written statements after the crash, none
spoke with sheriff's investigators who later conducted their own
internal inquiry into Brock's conduct.
By that point, Malogrides already had hired St. Petersburg attorney

Michael Allweiss.
During a recent interview at his office, Malogrides offered her version

of what happened that evening.
It all began, she said, about 10:30 p.m. when she and her boyfriend,
Peter Solitro, 37, stopped off at Ferg's Beach Shack & Grill. They
walked over to a friend who was drinking with a group of people that
included Brock, Malogrides said. Before long, about a dozen people
decided to go for a ride on Brock's boat.
Malogrides did not know Brock, she said.
They headed south in the gulf toward the Wharf restaurant. It was a
beautiful night and a pleasant ride. The passengers got out, had a
drink, then headed to another bar, the Bridgeview, Malogrides said.
More drinks, then everybody was ready to go home.
After midnight, Malogrides climbed into the boat. It was a 2003

model with twin outboard engines and a total of 400 horsepower.
Malogrides stood on one side of Brock, her boyfriend on the other.
For the first few minutes, Brock looked over his shoulder at another
boat following close behind, Malogrides said. The men in the boat had
just left the same bar, she said.
She thought Brock was contemplating racing them. She glanced over
at her boyfriend, who looked concerned. She heard him tell Brock:
"Don't do it."
Brock said, "Hold on!" according to Malogrides. Then he floored it.
Malogrides wrapped her arms around a pole as the boat sped through
the water. Suddenly, as Brock tried to round the curve from Boca
Ciega Bay into Blind Pass, the boat veered toward a row of docks
near the St. Pete Yacht and Tennis Condominiums, she said.
People in the boat began to scream as it slammed through one dock,

then four more. Malogrides heard the sound of wood cracking. Ahead,
she saw a boat parked on a lift at the sixth dock. She feared they
would crash into it.
But Brock's boat clipped a piling, which turned them back into the
channel before they crashed into the next dock, she said.

Malogrides flew through the air and landed hard in the cold water.
She emerged, fearful that the propellers would cut her. She heard
her boyfriend calling her name.
He and a friend hoisted her back in the boat.
The crash awakened residents in a nearby condominium tower. They

stepped out on their balconies and heard people screaming in the
water: "Get a rope!" and "Please come and grab us!"
The telephones started ringing at the St. Pete Beach Police

Department about 12:45 a.m. One witness said two boats had been
speeding through the channel moments before the crash. Another
woman said the second boat was leaving the scene.
When officers arrived, they found Brock's boat idling in the water.
Sparks flew from a tangle of exposed wires. One passenger with a
bloody face was trying to turn off the outboard engines. There were
seven bottles of beer in the boat, five of them empty.
One passenger who couldn't swim had leapt out of the boat and
grabbed onto a piling, fearing the boat was about to sink.
None of the passengers wanted to be taken to a hospital.
Malogrides did not realize she was hurt. "I think I was in shock," she
said later.
She gave officers her name and telephone number, then left. She
said officers did not ask for a statement until later. She left a written
account at her attorney's office for investigators.
Officers found Brock sitting on the bank, smelling of alcohol. Still, it

would be more than five hours before Brock took a breath alcohol
test.
St. Pete Beach police officers turned the investigation over to the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which is
responsible for investigating boating accidents.
Fish and Wildlife Officer David Albonetti arrived around 2:15 a.m. He
immediately recognized Brock, as the two men had known each other
for about three years.
Brock's eyes were bloodshot, his feet unsteady. The investigator

asked him to perform field sobriety tests. Brock refused.
From looking at the docks, Albonetti estimated that Brock was going
about 45 mph through the minimum wake zone. He knew Brock was
familiar with the area; he had seen Brock traveling there several
times.
Albonetti felt certain that Brock caused the crash by speeding, driving
recklessly and drinking. He placed Brock under arrest for boating
under the influence.

He didn't have a portable breath alcohol analyzer, so he took Brock

to the St. Pete Beach Police Department for a test. Brock declined
and was issued a $500 fine. He was taken to the Pinellas County jail
for booking.
There, his supervisors demanded he take a breath test. Under

Sheriff's Office rules, officers under investigation for drug or alcohol
use must submit to a test.
And so at 6:15 a.m., 51/2 hours after the crash, Brock blew a 0.076
two times. Authorities rounded it to .08, the level at which Florida
presumes impairment.
***
A few hours after the accident, Malogrides' body began to ache. She
had trouble breathing.
Her boyfriend drove her to an emergency room, where doctors

discovered two broken ribs and said her right breast implant had
ruptured. Later, doctors found another three injured ribs and said her
left breast implant also was damaged.
Her breasts needed to be fixed. But she had to wait several months
until her ribs healed.
The 60-year-old Malogrides, who enjoys skydiving and riding on the

back of her boyfriend's Harley-Davidson motorcycle, says she could
do little but stay home watching television or reading biographies.
She lost her job hostessing at a beach restaurant.
It angered her that while she lay at home in pain, Brock was back
patrolling the streets.
Brock had posted bail immediately. The 21-year agency veteran was
allowed to continue working because he was arrested on a
misdemeanor, not a felony.
In March, Brock pleaded no contest to BUI and received a year of

probation, 50 hours community service and ordered to pay restitution
of roughly $16,000 to the yacht club.
The Sheriff's Office suspended Brock for five days without pay,
ordered him to attend alcohol abuse meetings and banned him from
drinking for a year. In addition, he was transferred from his position
as corporal, in which he supervised other officers, to a deputy on the
night shift.
The case was officially closed.
But one question hadn't been fully answered: Was Brock racing
another boat?
Albonetti of the wildlife commission told sheriff's officials he found no

evidence to support it.

Kendall Davidson of the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's Office said he

did not recall prosecutors finding evidence of a race. Even if Brock
had been racing, it likely wouldn't have affected the criminal charge.
What did matter was the extent of injuries on the boat, Davidson
said. If someone had been near death after the accident, Brock could
have been charged with a felony for causing serious bodily injury.
Brock, he said, was not treated any differently because he was a

sheriff's deputy.
Brock declined to speak to the St. Petersburg Times.
Malogrides' attorney, Allweiss, is negotiating with Brock's insurance

company for a settlement.
The court has ordered Brock to pay Malogrides' medical bills of

$16,512. But Brock's lawyer has asked the judge to retain jurisdiction
over the matter while the insurance company negotiates with
Malogrides.
Allweiss said in his lawsuit he may seek additional punitive damages,

accusing Brock of acting with "reckless disregard" for the lives of his
passengers.
"I'm all for second chances," Allweiss said. "But there are certain
things that ought to disqualify you from certain professions. This
deputy drove drunk while boating and violated a number of other
laws.
"If that doesn't disqualify you from being a sheriff's deputy," he said,
"I don't know what will."

A Pineville Police D.A.R.E. Officer was arrested on drug related

charges. Officer Raymond E. Smith is charged with Conspiracy to
Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance and Malfeasance in
Office.
Also arrested is Marcus Taylor a RPSO correction officer. Taylor is

being charged with Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous

Substance.
In a news conference earlier today Sherrif Chuck Wagner says

Taylor has been with the department for seven years and is on
administrative suspension without pay.
According to a press release from Rapides Parish Metro Narcotics

Smith was on duty at Lessie Moore Elementary when he met with
an informant and “conspired to obtain and distribute” one kilogram
of powder cocaine. Taylor is being charged in connection to the sale
of those drugs.
Because of a radio malfunction the conversation between Smith and

the informant was broadcast on a police frequency.
Smith was arrested Wednesday evening at the Pineville Police

Department by Rapides Parish Metro Narcotics officers. According to
acting Pineville Police Chief Terral Paul, Smith has been on the force
for nearly nine years and a D.A.R.E. Officer for more than a year.
Paul says Smith was placed on administrative leave with pay
pending an internal investigation by the Pineville Police department.
RPSO is conducting a criminal investigation into the incident.
According to the Associated Press, Smith was released from the
Rapides Parish Jail on a $12,500 bond.
Marcus Taylor was arrested after an hour and a half of interrogation

Thursday afternoon. Taylor is also a part-time sports photographer
with KALB-TV. Here is the official statement from KALB-TV
President and General Manager.
“We have been made aware of the arrest of Marcus Taylor. Mr.
Taylor is a full time deputy of the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s
Department and a part-time photographer with KALB. Further, we
have not yet had the opportunity to discuss this matter with Mr.
Taylor. As such, it would be premature for the Station to issue any
statement or make any decision regarding Mr. Taylor’s employment
status at this time.
KALB pledges to our community, our employees and to Mr. Taylor

to address this matter in a prompt, fair and responsible manner.
We are committed to serving our viewers and clients with honesty
and integrity.”
We will have more on this developing story as facts become

available.

Banana Joe's bouncers reportedly escorted James Vincent Dausch

outside after observing him with a bag of white powder in a club
restroom. Witnesses saw him drop the bag to the ground, according to
a Sheriff's Office arrest affidavit.
About 2 a.m. Saturday, Sheriff's deputies arrested Dausch, 35, on a

felony charge of cocaine possession. Dausch, a patrolman, is

An off-duty Tampa police officer was arrested Saturday at a

Channelside club, accused of possessing about 2 grams of cocaine.
Banana Joe's bouncers reportedly escorted the officer, James Vincent

Dausch, outside after observing him with a bag of white powder in a
club restroom. Witnesses saw him drop the bag to the ground,
according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrest affidavit.
About 2 a.m., Sheriff's deputies arrested Dausch, 35, on a felony

charge of cocaine possession. The Tampa Police Department was
notified of the arrest. Dausch, a patrolman, is suspended pending an
internal investigation, Tampa police spokesman Joe Durkin said.

"Being arrested for a felony, he faces a disciplinary process that could

lead to his dismissal," Durkin said. Durkin said he did not know how
long Dausch has worked for the department.
Dausch was released from the Orient Road Jail on Saturday afternoon
on $2,000 bail.
Campaign manager gets probation in laptop theft
BARTOW - A political consultant who stole a laptop computer from

the Polk County elections office has been placed on probation for
three years and ordered to stay away from the location of the theft
and alcohol.
Paul David "Bongo" Hamelryck, 61, of Madeira Beach pleaded guilty

to grand theft Friday under a plea deal.
The computer carried material for a slide presentation to election

workers and publicly available voter data.
Hamelryck was managing the primary campaign for Rusty Marconi, a

Republican in a race for county commission, when he was arrested
July 30. The two had been at the office that day filing a campaign
finance report.
Hamelryck quit the campaign the next day. Marconi, who finished last
among six candidates, was not involved in the theft.
Polk Circuit Judge Roger Alcott agreed to withhold adjudication

because Hamelryck's record was otherwise clear of arrests.

Former Kane jail director charged with DUI
County cop, prosecutor: Assistant state’s attorney accepts
suspension
July 3, 2007
BY STEVE LORD AND MATT HANLEY Staff Writers
GENEVA — Authorities said former Kane County Jail Director Todd

Exline has been charged with drunken driving after turning himself
in Tuesday afternoon.
Exline, 46, of Aurora, was stopped about 11:30 p.m. Friday in the

100 block of South Bennett Street (Route 25) almost to Route 38 in

Geneva. Kane County Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly Orland was a
passenger in the car, police said.
Exline was detained by Geneva police on suspicion on drunken

driving, based on his failing sobriety tests at the scene. He did not
take a breathalyzer test.
But due to some confusion on the part of Geneva Lt. Joe Frega
surrounding the circumstances of the arrest, Exline was allowed to
leave the Geneva police station without being booked.
“Hindsight being 20-20, I would have made a different decision,”

Frega said of the call he made about midnight Saturday from home.
“When I came in Saturday morning and read the reports, I knew he
should have just been processed that night.”
The confusion stemmed from the fact that it was a Batavia police
squad car that actually followed Exline’s car along Fabyan Parkway.
Exline turned north on Route 25 into Geneva before the Batavia car
made the traffic stop.
The Batavia squad picked up Exline’s car originally on a citizen

complaint of a car driving erratically.
After the Batavia officer made the stop in Geneva, a Geneva squad
came to the scene as backup. That was followed by a second
Geneva car.
“Somehow, it got turned over to us,” Frega said.
But the Geneva officers making the arrest had not seen Exline
driving. They did administer sobriety tests, which Geneva police
said Exline failed. Frega said Exline was charged on the basis of an
eyewitness account of erratic driving from a citizen, and the
sobriety tests.
Meanwhile, Orland was not charged with any crimes, but she has
agreed to serve a one-week unpaid suspension, according to the
state’s attorney’s office.
Kane County State’s Attorney John Barsanti said that while Orland
did not break any laws, she used bad judgment by getting in a car
with someone she knew had been drinking. Orland notified Barsanti
Saturday morning about the traffic stop.
According to Barsanti, after Exline was arrested, officers asked

Orland if she wanted to drive the car away, but she declined
because she had been drinking.
“She made some decisions I admire — she broke no laws,” Barsanti

said. “But she exercised bad judgement. I’m holding my people to a
higher standard.”
Kane Sheriff Pat Perez said earlier that the department would have

an administrative investigation into Exline’s conduct. Barsanti said

Orland’s suspension will not take effect until sometime after next
week, because Orland is set to try a homicide case and Barsanti felt
it would not be appropriate to ask for a continuance for this
infraction.
Orland has been with the office about six years and handles drug
prosecution cases. She has no previous problems, Barsanti said.
“She’s been a perfect employee,” Barsanti said.
This incident comes on the heels of the death of DuPage County

prosecutor who was more than two times the legal limit when she
crashed her car in May. After that accident, Barsanti said he would
tighten the rules on his attorneys’ drinking. If his initial statements
didn’t make them aware of how seriously he takes this issue,
Barsanti believes Orland’s suspension will tune them in.
“I think they are now,” he said.

Prosecutor suspended after former chief’s DUI arrest
GENEVA - A Kane County prosecutor will be suspended without pay

for being the passenger in a car driven by the former jail head
when he was pulled over for drunken driving.
State’s Attorney John Barsanti said Tuesday he will suspend

Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly Orland for one week without pay
following the Friday night incident.
Todd D. Exline, the former chief of Kane County Jail was arrested
for drunken driving about 11:30 p.m. Friday in the 100 block of S.
Bennett Street in Geneva, according to police reports. Exline now
serves as a lieutenant in the sheriff's office.
Formal charges are expected to be filed today against Exline,

Barsanti said.
Orland’s suspension comes less than one month after Barsanti

announced he would crack down on his employees involved in any

sort of drinking and driving.
Although Orland broke no laws, Barsanti said she used poor

judgment in getting in a car with someone who was intoxicated.
Orland also had been drinking that night, and told police she could
not drive, Barsanti said.
Barsanti developed his policy after a high-ranking DuPage County

prosecutor died in a drunken driving crash. Jane Radostits, 46, died
May 11 when her county-issued car crashed in Winfield.
Investigators determined Radostits drove after drinking with
colleagues. Her blood-alcohol level was more than three times the
legal limit.

the incident and what prosecutors do on their own time.
Todd Exline, a corrections officer and former director of the jail,

was charged with drunken driving after an incident Friday in
Geneva.
His passenger was Kelly Orland, a prosecutor in the county’s felony

drug courtroom. She also told police that she had been drinking,
officials said.
Questions have been raised about the time it took authorities to

charge Exline, 46, of Aurora, and the way the roadside investigation
was handled.
“I am not happy with how this whole thing occurred,” Kane County
State’s Attorney John Barsanti said Tuesday. He said he is
investigating the handling of the arrest.
Barsanti also has suspended Orland for one week without pay.
Geneva police Commander Joe Frega said in retrospect things

should have been handled differently but that nothing was done to
hide the incident. Saturday, he had decided to charge Exline, he

said. The charge came Monday.
“Mistakes were made,” Frega said. “It was a rather unusual

situation.”
A witness called police to report Exline’s 2000 Chevy Suburban

driving erratically. A Batavia police officer who followed Exline for a
short distance did not notice anything wrong, but pulled him over to
investigate at about 11:26 p.m. on Bennett Street south of Mill
Race Inn in Geneva.
Geneva police responded and took over. A Kane County sheriff’s

deputy also was there.
Exline, who declined comment Tuesday, was director of the Kane

County jail for eight years until he was replaced by Patrick Keaty,
who will oversee the move to the new jail.
Exline failed a field dexterity test given on an incline, Barsanti said.
“Which is an area you don’t usually do field tests,” he added.
Frega said he has been told by the patrol officer the test was done
on a flat surface.
If the test was done on an incline, a defense attorney could

question the validity of the test because of the naturally unsteady
terrain.
Officers also did not ask Exline to take a Breathalyzer test. It is

typical for police to ask for a Breathalyzer test if a driver fails the
roadside test, officials said.
Because Exline wasn’t asked to take the test, he will not have his
license suspended for six months while he attends court.
“You have to either refuse the Breathalyzer or fail it to have an

action done on your license,” said Beth Kaufman, spokeswoman for
the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.
Frega said the test wasn’t given after Exline was arrested because a
debate ensued about which police department had jurisdiction, and
whether probable cause for the stop existed since no officer saw a
traffic violation.
“The (Geneva Police) sergeant recommended we release him and

deal with it later. I agreed,” Frega said.
Those same circumstances led to Exline not being charged until

Monday and a police report issued Tuesday.
By then, staff from the state’s attorney’s office had requested police
interview witnesses.
“I wanted to know where this was going,” Barsanti said. “I could file

charges myself.”
To avoid further appearances of impropriety, Barsanti is asking for

an outside prosecutor to handle the case.
Exline will appear in court Aug. 7.
Orland’s suspension will occur after a replacement is found to

handle her caseload. She has worked as a county prosecutor for
more than three years and previously served as a victims’
advocate. She has received good work reviews.
She could not be reached for comment.
Barsanti said he applauds Orland for not driving herself and

refusing to drive Exline’s car after the traffic stop. She told police
she had been drinking. Another person was called to pick up the car.
Barsanti also praised Orland’s decision to report the incident to

supervisors Saturday morning, almost two days before police
reported it to the prosecutor’s office.
Still, Barsanti said he couldn’t tolerate prosecutors drinking and

riding in cars with drunken drivers. Barsanti said he has yet to
decide whether his rules extend so far that off-duty prosecutors
must call police on drunken drivers.
“I would expect her not to get in the car and I expect her to do
everything to talk this guy out of this,” he said. “I am holding my
people to a higher standard.”

Deputy’s late charge questioned
Thu Jul 12, 2007, 02:49 PM CDT

By Erin Sauder
Geneva Republican
John Barsanti, state’s attorney for Kane County, is questioning why

a Kane County Sheriff’s deputy was not charged with driving under
the influence of alcohol until three days after a traffic stop.
Todd Exline, 46, of Aurora, was pulled over for drunken driving at
about 11:30 p.m. June 29 in the 100 block of South Bennett Street
in Geneva.
Geneva police Lt. Joe Frega said Batavia police got a citizen’s
complaint that Exline was driving erratically. Batavia officers
following Exline’s car did not notice anything wrong, but pulled him
over to investigate. The situation was then turned over to Geneva
police.
Barsanti said Exline failed a field dexterity test given on an incline.

Exline was not asked to take a Breathalyzer test because officers
debated which police department had jurisdiction, Frega said.
Exline was brought to the Geneva Police Department where officials

made the decision to release him.
“I am not happy with how this whole thing occurred,” Barsanti said.
He has asked the situation be further investigated.
Frega said the release had nothing to do with Exline’s employment

with the Kane County Sheriff’s Office.
“It was an unusual circumstance. Batavia police followed his car

into Geneva. During that point it got turned over to us and our
office didn’t see his driving or any violations. It was all based on a
citizen’s report and the observations of the officer at the scene and
the dexterity test. The (Geneva) officer said ‘Let’s release him and
deal with it later.’ I agreed. I came in later and learned all the other
things and realized we should have kept the guy. In hindsight, I
made a poor decision,” he said.
Exline was charged with DUI July 2.
Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez is also investigating the situation.
Exline has been placed on paid administrative lead, said Kane

County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Lt. Patrick Gengler.
If Exline is found at fault, he could be suspended or fired.
“The internal investigation will take some time,” Gengler said.
The incident also spurred the suspension of Kelly Orland, a St.

Charles resident and an assistant Kane County state’s attorney,
who was a passenger in Exline’s car.
While Orland was not driving, Barsanti said, “she exercised bad
judgment getting in a car with somebody who was intoxicated.”
“She broke no laws or ordinances of any kind but I am holding my

employees to a higher standard. I expect different judgments to be
made,” Barsanti said.
Orland, who had also been drinking that evening and told police she
could not drive, will also have to undergo an alcohol evaluation.
The May 11 drunken driving car crash that left a DuPage County
prosecutor dead and a motorist injured prompted Barsanti last
month to place a formal policy on the books in his office regarding
employees who drive drunk.
DuPage prosecutor Jane Radostits had a blood-alcohol content more

than three times the legal limit when she was driving home in a
county-owned vehicle and swerved into oncoming traffic. Radostits
was pronounced dead at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in
Downers Grove.

The attorney for a Kane County jail official accused of driving drunk
wants Geneva police brass to turn over records explaining why an
officer involved in his client's arrest has been fired.
Appearing in court Friday, defense attorney David Camic said he

intends to subpoena the Geneva Police and Fire Commission for
personnel records related to Monday's firing of patrol officer Susan
Deuchler.
The subpoena comes even as Geneva officials say Deuchler's

termination was "in no way, shape or form" related to the June 29
arrest of Kane County corrections officer Lt. Todd Exline on a
drunken driving charge that has threatened his career.
Camic did not elaborate on what he expects to find in the records,

or how they could affect his defense. "It really would depend on
why they fired her," he said.
On Friday, Judge Allen Anderson set a date of Feb. 6 to consider

Camic's motion to dismiss the charge entirely. In October, the same
judge upheld the arrest.
Deuchler, 29, was nearing the end of an 18-month probation period

with the Geneva Police Department when she was fired for failing
an oral exam required to become a police officer, officials said.
Geneva Police Chief Bill Kidwell has said Deuchler "performed
exactly as she should have" seven months earlier, when she was
involved with Exline's arrest.
Camic has argued police did not ask Exline to take a Brethalyzer
test and made mistakes in a field sobriety test when he was pulled
over.
Exline, 46, of Aurora, remains on unpaid leave while awaiting a

hearing before the Sheriff's Merit Commission this month. Sheriff

Pat Perez has recommended Exline be fired.

ST. CHARLES – The former Kane County Jail chief will ask a judge
to dismiss a drunken-driving case against him.
Todd Exline’s attorney, David Camic, is asking Associate Judge Allen

Anderson to dismiss the misdemeanor charge of driving under the
influence. A hearing was set last week for Feb. 6.
Exline, who is on leave from the sheriff’s office and used to head
the jail, was arrested June 29, 2007, by Geneva police. He was not
charged until two days later, which Camic says did not give Exline a
chance to get independent lab testing.
On Dec. 31, 2007, the arresting officer in the case was fired, but
Geneva officials say it had nothing to do with Exline’s arrest.
Anderson already has denied a motion to throw out the arrest.

New questions raised in Kane County cop's DUI arrest

It appeared to be a routine drunken-driving arrest: A call to police
about a sport-utility vehicle driving erratically, followed by a traffic
stop and field sobriety tests.
But the scenario last summer in Kane County wasn't typical

because the Geneva officer was a rookie making her first drunken-
driving arrest and the driver was a veteran member of the Sheriff's
Department.
Lt. Todd Exline, 46, was released the night of his arrest, June 29,
but was charged with driving under the influence July 3.
The arresting officer, Susan Deuchler, was fired last month for
failing a key oral exam twice during her 18-month probationary
period, a failure rare in the department, police officials said. While
Geneva officials concede that the timing of her firing looks odd, it
had nothing to do with the Exline arrest, which she handled
properly, they said.
Deuchler, 29, of Sugar Grove, declined to discuss her firing, except

to say she has hired a lawyer.
But Exline's attorney said the decision to fire her raises questions
about her competency in making the arrest, and he wants to use
that information to defend his client.

David Camic of Aurora said he has filed a request to Geneva police

to examine Deuchler's personnel records relating to her termination
and any disciplinary matters.
Exline, on paid leave as chief corrections officer at Kane County Jail,

faces a disciplinary board hearing Wednesday on whether he should
be fired over the DUI charges.
And on Feb. 6, his attorneys will be in court trying to have the

charges tossed out because of what they contend are irregularities
involving his arrest, including failure to give him a Breathalyzer test.
Geneva Police Cmdr. Joe Frega said the department's decision to

fire Deuchler was unrelated to her handling of the arrest but
acknowledges that the firing, along with the circumstances of
Exline's arrest, formed a "perfect storm."
"She did very well in dealing with the Exline situation. She handled
that arrest and subsequent hearing admirably," he said.
Camic said her firing raises questions to the contrary.
"Given all the months of assessment, and understanding that tens

of thousands of dollars were invested in her training, that she was
discharged leads me to believe there is evidence there of
incompetence that will be useful in the defense of my client," he
said.
Deuchler was fired by the Geneva Board of Police and Fire

Commissioners within 30 days of completing her probation. It was
the first time in 10 years that someone in the department had failed
the comprehensive oral exam twice, Frega said.
Under Police Department rules, probationary employees are

recommended for termination if they fail the oral exam twice.
The Exline case was unusual from the start.
On June 29, Batavia police received a report of a vehicle driving

erratically, and a Batavia officer stopped Exline's vehicle about
11:25 p.m. as he drove into Geneva. As the vehicle was parked on
the side of the road, the Batavia officer passed the case off to
Deuchler, who had not witnessed Exline driving but performed field
sobriety tests, which he failed, authorities said.
She took Exline into custody and drove him to the station, but her
superiors decided to free him, pending further investigation. Exline
was released later that night without being charged.
But when Frega read the arrest report the next day, he realized
there was probable cause to have brought charges.
On July 3, Exline surrendered to Geneva police and was formally

charged with misdemeanor drunken driving. According to a Kane
County court motion Camic filed this month, Exline was told by

Geneva police on the night of his stop that he would not be charged.
At an October hearing, Deuchler endured intense questioning from

Camic on the exact procedures she followed in arresting Exline.
Judge Allen Anderson ruled that Deuchler's arrest of Exline met
legal standards.
Because a Kane County assistant state's attorney was in the vehicle

when it was stopped, State's Atty. John Barsanti has recused his
office from prosecuting the case, instead transferring it to the state
appellate prosecutor's office. Kelly Orland, the attorney in the
vehicle with Exline, received a one-week suspension without pay.
The appellate prosecutor, Charles Colburn, said he has spoken with

Deuchler since her firing and expects her to testify in the DUI case.
A trial date has not been set.

At the first day of a hearing to save his job, Kane County Lt. Todd
Exline's co-workers accused him of shading the truth and taking
advantage of his position after a drunken driving arrest.
Exline has been suspended with pay since shortly after he was
charged with drunken driving in a June 29, 2007, traffic stop near
Illinois 25 and 38. Sheriff Pat Perez moved to fire the former jail

director pending the approval of the Sheriff's Merit Commission,

which heard about Exline's case for the first time Wednesday.
During the first day of Merit Commission testimony, other Kane

County officers outlined the various stories, or parts of stories, they
received from Exline after the arrest.
Less than a day after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken

driving, Exline called his supervisor, Cmdr. Patrick Keaty. Exline
told Keaty he had been stopped by the police and they let him go,
according to Keaty's testimony. Exline had not yet been charged
with drunken driving.
Exline did not tell Keaty he had been given a sobriety test or that
he had been handcuffed and arrested, Keaty said.
It was not until the next day that Keaty discovered there could be
more information.
"I called Lt. Exline and asked if there was more to the story," Keaty
said. "He gave me a detailed description."
Exline's drunken driving case still is pending in court, but the

sheriff's office has concluded its internal investigation and
determined Exline violated the department's code of conduct.
Kane County internal affairs officer Lt. Pat Gengler testified that
after reviewing Exline's statements and behavior, he concluded
Exline had violated at least two of the department's guidelines. The
first was that officers are expected to be completely honest at all
times. Gengler said Exline withheld parts of the story, depending on
who he was talking to.
"It's important for the public to know they can trust their public
servants -- that they'll be aboveboard," Gengler said.
Gengler said Exline also attempted to use his position to his

advantage when he mentioned he was a police officer after being
asked to complete sobriety tests. Exline was not carrying a weapon,
driving a sheriff's department car, or performing official duties,
Gengler said.
"There was no reason for him to identify himself other than for
personal gain," Gengler testified.
Testimony is expected to resume today.

Ex-jail chief's hearing begins

GENEVA – A rookie police officer described Wednesday how her
arrest of a high-ranking member of the Kane County Sheriff’s Office
was undone by a supervisor and later reinstated.
Her testimony was among that of several officers from area police
agencies in the first day of Lt. Todd Exline’s Sheriff’s Merit
Commission hearing.
Exline, who used to lead the Kane County Jail, faces drunken
driving charges and is on unpaid leave as he awaits the merit
commissioners’ decision regarding his employment on the Sheriff’s
corrections staff.
Sheriff Pat Perez has asked commissioners to fire Exline, who he

says shed a bad light on the department with a DUI arrest in June.
Exline also is accused of not going to work hours before the arrest
in Geneva.
Exline has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge and is fighting it in
court.
Former Geneva officer Susan Deuchler told commissioners Tuesday

that she responded to a possible DUI the night of June 29, 2007, on
Route 25 near Mill Race Inn.
When she arrived, two other Geneva officers and a Batavia officer
already were on the scene. Exline’s car was trailed from Batavia
after a 911 call reported erratic driving.
The Batavia officer had stopped Exline and retrieved his driver’s
license. That officer then gave the license to Deuchler, according to
testimony.
“She said, ‘Here you go. It’s your first DUI,’” Deuchler said.

Deuchler asked Exline to get out of the car and perform a sobriety
test, she said. Exline then noted that they were on a hill, Deuchler
said, and the two moved down the street.
Exline failed the sobriety tests and was handcuffed and taken to the
Geneva Police Department, Deuchler said.
Deuchler later learned of Exline’s job at the sheriff’s office. She said
he told her he “worked for the county,” but did not specify.
After returning to the police department, the sergeant on duty,

Norman Busch, called his superior, Cmdr. Joe Frega, and the two
decided to “unarrest” Exline, according to testimony.
Busch said there wasn’t enough probable cause to arrest Exline.

Busch also testified that he told Exline that he was “in no condition
to drive,” and waited with him in the parking lot when a family
member came to pick him up, according to testimony.
A few days later, Geneva police decided Exline should be charged,

and he was arrested again.
Deuchler testified that she received an e-mail from Frega and Chief
William Kidwell, telling her she handled the arrest well. However,
Deuchler was fired Dec. 31, 2007, and she said she is considering
litigation for wrongful termination.
Cmdr. Patrick Keaty – Exline’s direct supervisor – testified that

Exline called him the day after the initial DUI arrest to tell him of
the incident. However, Exline did not tell Keaty that he had been
handcuffed and taken to the station until Keaty asked him a few
days later, according to testimony.
Lt. Pat Gengler, who ran the internal investigation into Exline,
testified that he received calls from reporters following Exline’s
arrest questioning whether police officers covered up DUIs for other
officers.
Commissioners also heard testimony that Exline did not attend a

tour of the Will County Jail the morning and afternoon of June 29,
2007. He was supposed to tour the facility with the rest of the jail
“transition team.” The new jail is under construction and expected
to be completed this fall.
The hearing is scheduled to continue this morning with testimony

from Perez and Exline. Attorneys estimated that the hearing would
end this afternoon.

Now it's up to the Kane County Merit Commission to determine if
Todd Exline still works for the county sheriff's department.
Exline, the former head of the Kane County jail, testified Thursday
during the second day of a hearing to determine whether he should
be fired after a drunken driving arrest.
The commission could spend a few days making its decision.
Exline has been suspended since he was charged with drunken

driving in a June 29, 2007, traffic stop. The sheriff's department's
internal investigation determined that Exline lied about that traffic
stop and used his position for personal gain.
On Thursday, Exline told the commission he tried to be as truthful

as possible about the traffic stop, which involved multiple police
departments and did not result in charges being filed immediately.
"Throughout the whole investigation, if I was asked a question, I
answered it honestly."
Exline also addressed the allegation that he tried to use his job to
get out of the drunken driving charge, which still is pending in
criminal court. After he was stopped, Exline told officers he worked
for the sheriff.
The sheriff's department determined there was no reason for Exline

to mention that, because he was not carrying a weapon or working
undercover. Exline said he merely mentioned his job as a way to
put the officers at ease.

"I told them as a courtesy," he testified.
Patrick Kinnally, representing the sheriff's department, said Exline

had a responsibility to tell the whole truth, immediately.
"Honesty is not half-truths," he said. "It's the entire truth."

Ex-jail chief: I didn't know I was arrested

Published: 2/1/2008 12:18 AM
A teary-eyed Todd Exline took the stand Thursday, pleading to keep

his job with the Kane County sheriff's office in the face of
misconduct charges.
Exline, the former Kane County jail chief, said he did not lie to his
supervisor when he called to report getting stopped by Batavia and
Geneva police June 29.
"Throughout the whole investigation, when I was asked a question,

I answered it truthfully," Exline told the sheriff's office's merit
commission.
But he did admit leaving out important details -- including how he

took a field sobriety test and was handcuffed and taken to the
Geneva Police Department's lockup -- when he called Cmdr. Patrick
Keaty. Exline said he didn't tell Keaty the whole story because he
didn't know if he had been arrested; he was released by Geneva

police that night. Charges were filed days later.
"After 25 years as a corrections officer, with all the training you

had, you don't know whether you were arrested or not?" asked
Patrick Kinnally, an attorney representing the sheriff's office.
"Correct," Exline replied.
Exline claimed Sheriff Pat Perez, who has recommended the merit
commission terminate Exline's employment, has been out to get
him since taking over the department in late 2006.
Perez, who demoted Exline after being elected sheriff, said he didn't
have anything against Exline personally, but added that the 26-year
department veteran's DUI arrest was the latest in a string of poor
choices made by Exline that reflected negatively on the department.
That includes a suspension Exline served in 2005 after sexually
harassing a female sheriff's office employee, Perez said.
"Obviously nothing was learned," Perez said. "The entire way

through this, there has been a defiant stance taken by Mr. Exline."
Attorneys representing both sides -- Perez and Exline -- wrapped up

their case Thursday. The three-member merit commission will
determine Exline's fate by considering whether he used his badge to
try to avoid arrest, failed to be honest with his supervisor about the
incident, neglected his police duties and put the department in a
bad light -- all violations of the department's code of conduct. A
decision is expected in March.
Exline, a 47-year-old Aurora resident, estimates he's lost about

$20,000 in salary and an undetermined amount of money from his
pension since being suspended without pay for the incident. His DUI
case is pending in criminal court.
After being asked to step out of his vehicle the night of his arrest,
Exline said he told police at the scene that he was a cop out of
courtesy to them, not to seek special treatment.
"I told them as a courtesy," Exline said. "To put them at ease (that)
I'm not the bad guy. … I'm not going to punch you and kick you."
Kane County Assistant State's Attorney Kelly Orland, a woman

described by Kinnally as the married Exline's "girlfriend," was a
passenger in Exline's vehicle when he was stopped. She was
suspended for a week for poor judgment, according to the state's
attorney's office.

GENEVA – After former jail chief Todd Exline disputed claims
Thursday that he was not truthful about a drunken driving arrest, a
disciplinary board will decide the fate of his 25-year career in Kane
County.
Lt. Exline faces the possibility of losing his job or being suspended
in the wake of the June arrest. He has pleaded not guilty to the
drunken driving charge and remains on leave as the Sheriff’s Merit
Commission considers his employment future.
Sheriff Pat Perez, who testified Thursday, asked the commission to

fire Exline because he didn’t disclose details of the June 29 arrest to
his superiors; the arrest reflected negatively on the department;
and Exline did not fulfill work obligations the day of the arrest.
“The people have trust in our agency,” Perez said in an interview

Thursday. “We need to maintain that public trust.”
The two-day hearing ended Thursday, and commissioners said they

likely would announce their decision no sooner than a month from
now.
“I know that I didn’t lie,” Exline told them.
Exline testified that he told his supervisor, Cmdr. Patrick Keaty,

about the DUI traffic stop.
Exline said he also told Keaty that “he wasn’t sure if he was
arrested.”
Although Exline was handcuffed and taken to the Geneva Police

Department, police let him go without charges. Charges were filed a
few days later when police received “new information.”

Keaty said Wednesday that Exline told him only that police stopped
him.
Another driver called 911 to report Exline’s car driving erratically,

and a Batavia officer trailed it to Geneva, near routes 25 and 38,
where Geneva police made the arrest, according to testimony.
Exline testified that he left work about 4:30 p.m. that day, picked
up Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly Orland at her home, and drove
her to an Oak Brook restaurant.
There, they met with officials from the company that supplies the
jail’s food, according to testimony.
Orland was with Exline at the time of the arrest, about 11:30 p.m.
She later was suspended for a week without pay.
Exline also testified that he did not tour the Will County Jail or go to
Chicago to see furniture for the new jail earlier on June 29 because
he had other work to do. He disputed claims that he was obligated
to go on either trip.
Exline heads a “transition team” that is setting up the new jail,

which is under construction and scheduled to be complete this fall.
Perez said Exline told a lieutenant who went to Chicago that he had
to go to Will County, while he told the rest of the transition team
that he planned to go to Chicago.
“To this day, no one is able to tell me exactly what he did that day,”
Perez said.
Exline’s attorney, Patrick Crimmins, asked commissioners not to fire

Exline.
“It’s a harsh penalty,” he said.
In asking for Exline’s termination, Patrick Kinnally, attorney for the

sheriff, said Exline gave “half truths,” and called “honesty” one of
the most important qualities for someone in Exline’s position.

Geneva officer arrested jail chief in DUI case

Attorneys for former Kane County Jail chief Todd Exline have asked
a judge to allow them to see the disciplinary records for the rookie
Geneva officer who arrested the embattled sheriff's lieutenant on
drunken-driving charges.
The Geneva patrolwoman has been fired from the force, and
Exline's lawyers want to determine if her termination is linked to his
controversial June 29 arrest.
"They don't say it had anything to do with it, but a reasonable

person might see otherwise," Aurora attorney David Camic said at a
hearing Wednesday.
Exline, 47, of Aurora, has been suspended without pay, and a

sheriff's disciplinary panel is considering whether to fire the 26-year
veteran of the department.
Charles Radovich, an attorney for Geneva, said "considerable

portions" of the officer's files contain personal information -- such
as medical records -- that are private.
Judge Allen Anderson said he will review the records of the former
officer who arrested Exline and files from two others who took part
in Exline's traffic stop near the Geneva-Batavia border.
Camic and a special prosecutor assigned to the criminal case likely

will only have access to the officers' disciplinary and training
documents, Anderson said.
"The medical, I just don't think it's on the table," Anderson said. "It
would not seem relevant."
Anderson could announce his decision Feb. 28.
Sheriff Pat Perez has recommended Exline be fired for his actions
during the traffic stop and other internal violations Perez says
portrayed the department in a bad light.

Prosecutor Kelly Orland, a passenger in Exline's vehicle that night,

was suspended one week for using poor judgment, the state's
attorney's office has said.

ST. CHARLES – A judge said Thursday that former jail chief Todd
Exline’s attorney could not see a fired Geneva police officer’s
personnel file.
Exline, a corrections lieutenant, has pleaded not guilty to drunken-

driving charges, stemming from an arrest in Geneva in June.
Attorney David Camic asked to review the personnel file of former

Geneva officer Susan Deuchler, who arrested Exline. Associate
Judge Allen Anderson denied that request Thursday.
Deuchler was fired late last year, but police officials said her
termination was unrelated to Exline’s arrest.
Anderson also said Thursday that Camic could look at documents

relating to an internal investigation of how Geneva police handled
the arrest.
Although Exline was arrested June 29, he was sent home without
formal charges.

A few days later, he was charged after police say they found
additional information.
Cmdr. Joe Frega has declined to specify what that information is.
Anderson also will review Board of Fire and Police Commission files
relating to hearings on Deuchler to see whether Camic should view
those.
Exline is scheduled to return to court April 18. He remains on

unpaid leave from his job, which is in jeopardy.
The Sheriff’s Merit Commission has not announced their decision in

the Exline case. Sheriff Pat Perez asked that Exline be fired for his
actions June 29, saying it shed a bad light on the department.
A decision is expected next month.

Kane County's former chief jailer, facing trial on a DUI charge, was
fired Monday after a disciplinary panel found that he did not tell his
superiors the complete truth about his 2007 arrest.
The Sheriff's Merit Commission also found Lt. Todd Exline guilty of
conduct that impaired office morale and public confidence and shed
a bad light on the department. Exline, 47, was immediately

terminated by the three-member panel, which cleared him of

conflict-of-interest and neglect-of-duty allegations.
He still faces a misdemeanor DUI charge from Geneva police.
Because the former jail commander is not charged with a felony,

Sheriff Pat Perez said Exline's state pension would not be affected.
Perez said the commission dealt fairly with Exline, who had been on
the force more than 20 years. "I think the public expects us to
police our own," he said. "We're glad it's over, and it's time to move
ahead."
Exline has 30 days to appeal the commission's decision. The matter

would then be reviewed by a judge.
A trial date has not been set for the DUI case in Kane County.
During a two-day hearing in January, Exline testified that the job-

related charges against him were baseless, and that he had been
forthcoming after his arrest.
Exline, of Aurora, had been on unpaid leave since shortly after his
arrest. He was stopped by Geneva police June 29 and taken into
custody but was released that night without charges after failing a
field sobriety test, authorities said.
In subsequent conversations with his bosses, Exline mentioned only

that he had been pulled over for a traffic stop and let go, authorities
said. Three days later, Geneva police, who have said the matter
was not handled properly, charged him with DUI.

GENEVA – A 25-year career in the sheriff’s office ended Monday for
former jail chief Todd Exline, ending part of the aftermath
stemming from his drunken-driving arrest.
The Sheriff’s Merit Commission fired Exline, who was a corrections

lieutenant and used to lead the Kane County Jail.
Sheriff Pat Perez asked commissioners to fire Exline after the June
29, 2007, DUI arrest in Geneva. In turn, commissioners found
Exline guilty on two of the four counts against him – that the arrest
shed a poor light on the department and that he was less than
honest about it.
Commissioners found Exline not guilty of using his badge to get out
of the arrest, and that there was no evidence that he didn’t fulfill all
his duties at work on the day of the arrest.
Exline declined to comment Monday. He denied all the allegations

and has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges in criminal court.
Patrick Crimmins, Exline’s attorney in the Merit Commission case,

said Exline could appeal the decision.
“We are exploring the appellate process as an option,” Crimmins

said. “This is difficult for him. He needs to think it through.”
He added that Exline’s firing was “extreme.”
Exline, who served as jail chief under former Sheriff Ken Ramsey,
was demoted to a lieutenant on the corrections staff shortly after
Perez took office last year. The move included a pay cut.
Perez said Monday’s firing should show that those in law

enforcement should not receive preferential treatment if they are
arrested.
He also said officers should be held accountable “to the public and
ourselves.”
Attorney David Camic, who represents Exline in the DUI case, said
the firing will have no bearing on that case.
Exline is scheduled to return to court April 18, when Associate

Judge Allen Anderson is expected to rule on Camic’s request to see
Geneva’s Board of Fire and Police Commission files.
The officer who arrested Exline was later fired, but police officials

say it was unrelated to the arrest.
Although Exline was arrested June 29, he was allowed to go home

without charges. A few days later, he was charged with
misdemeanor DUI. Police officials said “new information,” lead to
the charges, but they declined to specify.
Camic also has filed a motion to dismiss the charges.

Posts: 31403 ST. CHARLES – Kane County’s former jail chief admitted Friday to
driving drunk last summer and was placed on court supervision.
Todd Exline, 47, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI in

exchange for one year of supervision. He also must attend
victim-impact panels, pay $1,730 in fines, and complete 10
hours of outpatient treatment for alcohol education. The
sentence is typical for a first-time DUI offender.
Exline was arrested June 29 in Geneva after someone reported his

erratic driving, police said.
Although he was not immediately arrested, he was charged a few

days later and placed on leave from his job as a corrections
lieutenant. He was chief of corrections under former Sheriff Ken
Ramsey.
The Sheriff’s Merit Commission fired Exline last month after several
hearings. Sheriff Pat Perez called for Exline’s firing, saying that he
put the department in a bad light and was dishonest about his
arrest.
Exline’s attorney, David Camic, said Exline wanted to plead guilty

after the loss of his job to put an end to the incident.
In past court hearings, Camic argued that Geneva police botched

the arrest by not giving Exline a breathalyzer and by not completing
field sobriety tests accurately.
The arrest was upheld in court.

The arresting officer was fired from the department late last year.
However, Geneva police officials say the firing was not related to
Exline’s arrested.
Police also defend their actions the night of the arrest. Cmdr. Joe
Frega has said that Exline was not charged immediately because
“further investigation” was necessary.
Appellate Prosecutor Charles Colburn prosecuted the case to avoid

any conflict of interest with the Kane County State’s Attorney’s
Office. Associate Judge Allen Anderson accepted the plea.

The former chief corrections officer of Kane County, who was fired
from his job after he was accused of driving under the influence last
summer, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge Friday.
Todd Exline, 47, was fined $1,530 and received a 1-year sentence
of court supervision from Kane County Judge Allen Anderson. Exline

also must participate in counseling and attend a victim-impact

panel.
State Appellate Prosecutor Charles Colburn called the sentence

typical for a first-time offender who does not have a criminal
record. The Kane County Sheriff's Merit Commission fired Exline last
month.
"After he lost his job with the sheriff's department, he called and
said he wanted to put it behind him," said David Camic, who
represented Exline.

Pleads innocent — A former Streator patrolman has pleaded

innocent to a new drug charge, with an April 21 trial date set.
Michael Dunning, 56, is charged with possession of 21 grams of

cocaine with intent to deliver. He was a police officer until the
1990s and still on probation for an earlier drug charge when a drug
task force made the new arrest.

Public defender Tim Cappellini asked LaSalle County Judge H. Chris

Ryan to reduce Dunning’s bond since he has ties to the area.
Ryan agreed with the state that the arrest was made while Dunning
was on probation and the $11,500 needed in cash to get out would
remain. If convicted, Dunning could face up to 30 years in prison.

STREATOR — A former Streator police officer who barely escaped

having his probation revoked earlier this year on a drug conviction
is back in LaSalle County jail on a new charge.
Michael Dunning, 57, needs $12,000 cash to bond out of the new
charge of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. He was
arrested over the weekend after a raid on his Sterling Street home.
A state attempt to revoke his probation on a 2005 conviction failed,

though he faces a jury trial April 21 on possession of cocaine
charges. He was free on $8,000 cash bond when the new arrest
occurred.
Dunning was a police officer until the 1990s.

With at least one woman in the courtroom crying for him and his
wife lowering her head, former Streator police officer Michael L.
Dunning was ordered to prison Friday morning in La Salle County
Circuit Court.
The 56-year-old Dunning pleaded guilty to two charges of

possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. In exchange,
Circuit Judge H. Chris Ryan Jr. sentenced Dunning -- per Dunning's
agreement with Prosecutor Pete Siena -- to seven years in prison
for the first charge and three years in prison for the second.
With good behavior and other sentence reduction credits, Dunning

will have to serve about six years. He also was ordered to pay a
fine and costs of $8,000, which is to be taken from the $8,000 bond
posted for his release after his arrest Jan. 9. Bond was not posted
after he was arrested again March 7 and he remained in jail since.
In the January arrest, state police drug task force officers raided
Dunning's home at 1602 N. Sterling St., Streator, finding 27
small bags of cocaine in a jacket pocket in a basement bedroom.
Dunning admitted he had been selling bags for $20 each for two
months to pay bills. Dunning was jobless when arrested.
After 18 days in jail, Dunning was released on bond. Forty days

later, drug task force officers raided his home again, finding a bag
of cocaine in the basement and a digital scale -- such as would be
used for weighing cocaine -- in the garage. They also found wire
ties on Dunning similar to a tie on the bag of cocaine.
Until early this year, Dunning was on probation for a 2005

conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to deliver. In
February 2007, the drug task force raided Dunning's home, finding
80 rounds of ammunition. Last August, a hearing took place to
revoke Dunning's probation, because as a felon Dunning is
prohibited from having weapons or ammunition. However, Ryan
ruled in favor of Dunning, saying he was not convinced Dunning
had "immediate and exclusive possession" of the ammunition in a
house in which others also lived.
Dunning's wife and children were receiving food stamps and public
medical assistance. As of January, Dunning said he had little
financial resources and owed $130,000 on a loan. He filed
bankruptcy in 1997 and 2004.

Dunning was a Streator police officer from 1983 to 1992, when he

resigned amid allegations he stole thousands of dollars from the
police union while he was union president. The union passed on to
the state's attorney's office evidence it collected against Dunning,
but then State's Attorney Joseph Navarro said the evidence was not
enough to warrant a criminal investigation by his office. Navarro
later forwarded information to the Illinois Attorney General's Office,
but no charge was filed.
Dunning also worked as a prison officer and for Streator's public

works department. At one time, he operated a restaurant. Dunning
wrote in court papers he served in the Army from 1969 to 1973,
attaining the rank of sergeant and receiving an honorable
discharge. He also wrote he suffers from post-traumatic stress
disorder and back trouble.
Dunning likely will be transferred next week to the Department of

Corrections reception unit at Stateville prison.

LAKEMOOR – A part-time police officer left Lakemoor’s force
Saturday after a Lake County Sheriff’s sergeant arrested her on
charges of drunken driving at 60 mph over the speed limit.
Suzan Jackson, 42, of unincorporated McHenry County near

McHenry, was charged with driving under the influence,
reckless driving, and speeding. She was accused of driving a
2004 Ford Mustang 101 mph in a 40 mph zone at 12:03 a.m.
Saturday, Sgt. Christopher Thompson of the Lake County

Sheriff’s Office said. She refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
Jackson, also a full-time officer for the Kildeer Police Department, is

on paid administrative leave there while Police Chief Jeffrey Lilly
conducts an internal investigation.
“If that is substantiated, we would take disciplinary as soon as

possible,” Lilly said. “We don’t take these things lightly.”
Jackson no longer is employed at the Lakemoor Police Department

as of Saturday. She had worked there since Sept. 19, 2005; her
pay rate was $18.80 an hour. Police Chief Wallace Frasier declined
to say whether Jackson resigned Saturday or was fired.
“It’s part of the personnel file,” Frasier said. “It’s confidential

information, and I have no comment to make.”
Jackson also was involved in a Dec. 10 incident in the parking lot of

the Iron Bull Tavern in Lakemoor, said Nichole Owens, criminal
chief of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Owens said her office asked the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office to
conduct a separate investigation after receiving a report from the
Lakemoor Police Department on Dec. 18. Owens said the incident
involved a firearm but declined to release further details because of
the pending investigation.
“It appears at a minimum [Jackson] was a witness to the incident,

so we want to ensure that a thorough, unbiased investigation is
completed,” Owens said.
No charges have been filed in connection with the Dec. 10 incident,

Owens said.
Jackson is expected to appear in Lake County court Feb. 20 in

connection Saturday’s incidents. If convicted of the most serious
charge, a Class A misdemeanor, she faces up to a year in jail and
up to a $2,500 fine.
Lilly said he hoped to finish his internal investigation this month.
“We’re going to look into the circumstances surrounding this

offense and what her culpability into this [is],” Lilly said.
He said Jackson never had been disciplined for an offense serious

enough to be brought before the police commission during the nine
years she worked for the department. The chief is authorized to
suspend officers for up to five days, but more serious offenses must
be brought before a three-member panel.
Jackson makes $63,000 a year in Kildeer, the top of Kildeer’s officer

pay scale, Lilly said.
“Obviously, we’re concerned about any of our officers and any

actions which might bring disrepute on themselves or our

department or law enforcement in general,” Lilly said.
Jackson is the ex-wife of Jerome Volstad, a former Lincolnshire

police officer convicted of felony charges for beating a Wisconsin
man outside a Fox Lake bar in 2005. Volstad is next expected to
appear in McHenry County court on Jan. 10 on a motion for a new
trial. His sentencing date is Jan. 17.
The couple was married from July 1997 to October 2005, court
records show.

A Kildeer police officer has been placed on leave after she was
charged with speeding and drunken driving in Grant Township.
Suzan Jackson, 42, a nine-year veteran of the Kildeer Police

Department, was driving more than 100 mph last weekend when
she was stopped just after midnight by a Lake County sheriff's
deputy on northbound Route 12, just south of Route 134.
Kildeer police Cmdr. Robert Zujewski said Jackson, who works as a

detective, has been placed on paid administrative leave while the
department investigates her arrest.

Jackson's 2004 Ford Mustang was clocked at 101 mph in a 40 mph

zone, said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Christopher Thompson.
The arresting officer determined Jackson was under the influence of

alcohol, though she refused field sobriety tests or a Breathalyzer,
Thompson said.
Jackson also works part time as a Lakemoor police officer.

According to McHenry County media reports, she has been
suspended for 30 days from her job.
Jackson has been charged with DUI, reckless driving and speeding.
She has a Feb. 20 court date in Waukegan.

LAKEMOOR – Village trustees suspended without pay for 30
days a part-time police officer arrested early Saturday for
allegedly driving drunk about 100 mph in a 40 mph zone.
Both the Village Board and a Police Committee met Thursday in

separate closed sessions to discuss discipline of Suzan Jackson, 42.
Committee chairperson Kathy Lennon and Police Chief Wallace

Frasier declined to comment on the board’s decision and Frasier did
not say what his recommendation to the board was.
But Frasier said earlier this week that Jackson was not allowed to
work the day after her arrest and that her badge and identification
were confiscated.
Jackson said she was fired from her position hours after her arrest,
and Village Clerk Phyllis Odarczenko said Monday that Jackson had
left the department as of Saturday.
Jackson, who did not attend Thursday’s meeting and was

unavailable for comment afterward, also has been placed on paid
leave from her full-time job as a Kildeer police detective while an
internal investigation takes place.
Jackson was charged with driving under the influence, reckless

driving, and speeding about 12:03 a.m. Saturday. A Lake County
sheriff’s sergeant clocked her driving a 2004 Ford Mustang about 60
mph above the speed limit on Route 12 south of Route 134, Lake
County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Christopher Thompson said.
Jackson questioned whether the arresting officer’s radar gun added

the speed of the car next to her. She estimated her speed at 70
mph and said she had a couple of drinks more than two hours
earlier, but was not drunk.

LAKEMOOR – Two weeks after suspending a part-time officer
arrested Jan. 5 for allegedly driving drunk about 60 mph over the
speed limit, the Village Board fired her.
After about a half-hour of closed-session discussion Thursday, the

board voted, 5-0, to terminate Suzan Jackson, 42, effective
immediately.
The decision was based on a recommendation by the Police

Committee, which met Tuesday for the second time to discuss the
incident.
The committee’s first recommendation Jan. 10 was for a 30-day,

unpaid suspension, pending receiving more information, such as
videotape, Village Attorney Lisa Waggoner said.
Jackson’s employment status had been unclear, with Jackson saying

she was fired within hours of her arrest and Police Chief Wallace
Frasier saying her status was pending.
However, a few days after Jackson’s arrest, Frasier said she was not
allowed to work the day after the incident and that her identification
and badges were confiscated.
Neither Jackson nor Frasier was present at the meeting. Waggoner

declined to comment on Jackson’s employment status before the
Village Board took any action, but she said the board was following
rules and regulations regarding police discipline.
Jackson, who also was placed on paid leave from her full-time job
as a Kildeer police detective, was charged with driving under the
influence, reckless driving and speeding. Lake County sheriff’s
police said a sergeant clocked her driving a 2004 Ford Mustang
about 101 mph in a 40 mph zone on Route 12 south of Route 134
about 12:03 a.m. Jan. 5.
Jackson has questioned whether the arresting officer’s radar gun

added the speed of the car next to her. She estimated her speed at
70 mph and claimed that the speed limit there is 55 mph. She said
she had a couple of drinks more than two hours earlier but was not
drunk.

KILDEER – Police Officer Suzan Jackson was verbally abusive,
threatening and used vulgar and obscene language during her Jan.
5 arrest for allegedly driving under the influence and speeding, an
attorney for Kildeer’s police chief said during Thursday’s Police
Commission hearing.
An internal investigation had revealed that Jackson, who served as

a part-time Lakemoor officer before being fired a few weeks after
her arrest, misused her position for personal benefit and conducted
herself in a manner unbecoming of an officer.
Kildeer Police Chief Jeffrey Lilly also alleged that Jackson was in
violation of the law, interfered with a police investigation, and
neglected her duty. If found guilty by the commission, Jackson
could be fired.
Attorney John Kelly plans to call the arresting officer, Lake County
Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Curtis Gregory, as a witness when the
hearing continues March 20. He also plans to show a tape of the
incident, Kelly said.

Jackson did not have a lawyer present. Her brother, David Marks,
who is a police officer but not with Kildeer, spoke on Jackson’s
behalf.
There have been a lot of inconsistencies and fabrications with the

case, Marks said, although he agreed that police officers are held to
higher standards.
“But any one of us, myself included, could be out there and have to
address this [sergeant’s] actions,” Marks said.
Lilly testified that during an administrative interview, Jackson

admitted to having two Jack Daniel’s and Cokes as well as speeding.
Because she refused to take a Breathalyzer test, Jackson’s license

was suspended. Lilly also testified that, according to department
rules and regulations, Jackson is unable to perform her duties as an
officer without a valid driver’s license.
Jackson is scheduled to go to trial March 10 on county charges of

DUI, reckless driving and speeding.
Suzan Jackson’s hearing will continue March 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Kildeer Police Chief Jeffrey Lilly is trying to fire an officer accused of

driving 101 mph while drunk and off duty on Rand Road in far
northwest Lake County.
Officer Suzan Jackson's disciplinary hearing before the Kildeer

Police Commission began Thursday night. It'll continue March 20,
when Lake County Sheriff's Sgt. Curt Gregory, who arrested
Jackson, is expected to testify.
Jackson, 42, has been on administrative leave with pay since her
Jan. 5 arrest in unincorporated Lake County near Rand and Route
134.
Lilly testified Thursday that, during his internal investigation,

Jackson said she drove 70 mph in a 55 mph zone the night of her
arrest. A sheriff's police report states Jackson was traveling 101
mph, or 46 mph over the posted speed limit on Rand.
Jackson also told the chief she drank two whiskey and colas earlier
in the evening before getting behind the wheel of her 2004 Ford
Mustang, he testified.
It's alleged Jackson violated several Kildeer Police Department rules

and regulations. The police commission will decide what, if any,
disciplinary measures should be taken against her.
Sheriff's police said Jackson was charged with driving under the
influence of alcohol, reckless driving and speeding just after
midnight Jan. 5. Police said she refused to take Breathalyzer and
field sobriety tests.
Lilly's complaint accuses her of violation of law, interfering with a

police investigation, conduct unbecoming an officer, neglect of duty
and attempting to derive private benefit from departmental
association. Lilly said he's seeking Jackson's dismissal.
Jackson can't perform her Kildeer police job because her driver's
license has been summarily suspended, Lilly said.
She was represented at Thursday's hearing by her police officer

brother, David Marks, not an attorney. Lawyer John Kelly worked
the case for Kildeer police.
Lilly said Jackson has been a Kildeer cop for almost nine years. She

was a Richmond police officer before coming to Kildeer, the chief

said.

LAKEMOOR – A former part-time Lakemoor police officer’s trial for
allegedly driving drunk about 60 mph over the speed limit Jan. 5
has been postponed.
Suzan Jackson’s lawyer, Waukegan attorney Al Wysocki, withdrew

Wednesday, so court officials scheduled a March 19 status-of-
attorney hearing and canceled the trial that was expected to start
Monday.
Jackson has been charged with driving under the influence,

speeding and reckless driving.
She was fired from her job in Lakemoor and is on administrative

leave from a full-time position in Kildeer pending a police
commission hearing, which is scheduled to continue March 20.
Jackson said Monday that she was looking for a new attorney.
“I’m still in discussion and negotiations with who I’m going to have
represent me,” she said.
In the police commission hearing, Kildeer officials have accused

Jackson of being verbally abusive and threatening during her arrest.

Chief Jeffrey Lilly also said Jackson interfered with a police

investigation, neglected her duty, and misused her position for
personal benefit. If commissioners find Jackson guilty of the
charges, she could be fired.
A Lake County sheriff’s sergeant clocked her driving a 2004 Ford

Mustang about 60 mph over the speed limit on Route 12 south of
Route 134 about 12:03 a.m. Jan. 5, police said.
Jackson has questioned whether the arresting officer’s radar gun

added the speed of the car next to her. She has estimated her
speed at 70 mph and said she had a couple of drinks more than two
hours earlier but was not drunk.
Jackson refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
What’s next
Suzan Jackson, a police officer who allegedly drove drunk about 60

mph over the speed limit Jan. 5, will next appear in court March 19.

A Lake County sheriff's deputy testified during a disciplinary hearing
Thursday night that a Kildeer cop threatened him when he arrested
her on suspicion of driving 101 mph while drunk.
Officer Suzan Jackson, 42, has been on paid administrative leave

since her off-duty arrest Jan. 5 in far northwest unincorporated
Lake County, near Rand Road and Route 134. Kildeer Police Chief
Jeffrey Lilly is trying to fire Jackson.
Sheriff's Sgt. Curt Gregory testified on behalf of Lilly at Thursday's

continued disciplinary hearing before the Kildeer police commission,
which will determine Jackson's fate.
Under direct examination by the chief's lawyer, John Kelly, Gregory

said he noticed Jackson zip by other traffic on northbound Rand
before she registered 101 mph in a 55 mph zone on his radar. He
said Jackson threatened him when he arrested her.
"There were several occasions when she stated, 'What goes around,
comes around,'" Gregory testified.
On cross-examination by Jackson's representative and brother,

Riverwoods police Officer David Marks, Gregory said he pursued her
while going 115 mph without his emergency lights activated.
Gregory told Marks, who isn't a lawyer, his goal was to pull over the
driver as soon as possible.
Jackson testified on her own behalf before the commission. Under

direct examination by her brother, Jackson said Gregory pointed a
weapon at her after stopping her car.
"I didn't understand," she said.
In addition to hearing from Gregory, Kildeer police commission

members watched about 1½ hours of video from Jackson's arrest
that was captured by digital equipment in the deputy's squad car.
However, spectators in the gallery weren't allowed to watch in the
meeting room.
Marks requested that the video and accompanying audio be played

behind closed doors. The commission agreed with Marks' request
over the objection of the police chief's attorney.
influence of alcohol, reckless driving and speeding just after
midnight Jan. 5. Authorities said she refused to take Breathalyzer

and field sobriety tests.
Lilly testified against Jackson last month. He said during his internal
investigation that Jackson told him that she was driving 70 mph in
a 55 mph zone and had two whiskey and colas earlier in the
evening before getting behind the wheel of her 2004 Ford Mustang.
Jackson is accused in Lilly's internal complaint of violation of law,

interfering with a police investigation, conduct unbecoming of an
officer, neglect of duty and attempting to derive private benefit
from department association.
Lilly contends Jackson, a Kildeer cop for almost nine years, can't
perform her job because her driver's license has been summarily
suspended.

KILDEER – Former Lakemoor police officer Suzan Jackson told the
officer during her Jan. 5 arrest for allegedly speeding, driving
recklessly, and driving under the influence that what goes around
comes around.
But she denied that was a threat when the Kildeer police
commissioners continued a disciplinary hearing Thursday.
“I just wanted him to be aware that it was not going to go

unnoticed,” Jackson said, adding that she thought her rights were
violated during the arrest.
Jackson was fired from her part-time job in Lakemoor within a few
weeks after her arrest but placed on administrative leave from her
full-time job in Kildeer.
Kildeer Police Chief Jeffrey Lilly alleges that Jackson misused her
position for personal benefit, interfered with a police investigation,
violated the law, conducted herself in a manner unbecoming of an
officer, and neglected her duty.
If found guilty by the commission, Jackson could be fired.
Jackson will continue her defense at 6:30 p.m. April 17. The three-
member commission met for about three and a half hours
Thursday. They spent about an hour and a half viewing video the
incident.
Jackson did not have a lawyer present. Her brother, David Marks,
who is a police officer but not with Kildeer, spoke on Jackson’s
behalf.
Her criminal charges are pending in Lake County Circuit Court in

Waukegan. She is scheduled to appear April 16 for a pretrial
hearing.

Kildeer police Officer Suzan Jackson was fired Thursday night, more
than three months after she was charged with drunken driving
while traveling 101 mph.
Village police commission members made their decision in a

disciplinary hearing that began in February. Jackson was a Kildeer
cop for about 10 years.
Jackson, 42, had been on paid administrative leave from her

$65,000-a-year job since her off-duty arrest Jan. 5 in far northwest
unincorporated Lake County near Rand Road and Route 134.
Kildeer Police Chief Jeffrey Lilly sought Jackson's firing in internal
charges he filed against her.

Commission members, by a 3-0 vote, found Jackson in violation of

law, interfering with a police investigation, conduct unbecoming of
an officer, neglect of duty and attempting to derive private benefit
from department association. The commission agreed to terminate
Jackson effective immediately.
Testimony in the disciplinary hearing showed Lake County sheriff's

Sgt. Curt Gregory stopped Jackson after his radar clocked her
driving 101 mph in a 55 mph zone on Rand Road. However,
Jackson countered she was traveling 70 mph -- not 101 mph.
Attorney John Kelly, who represented Lilly at the hearing, reminded

the commission in closing remarks that video and audio tapes
showed Jackson used the "F-word" on Gregory almost 200 times
over 40 minutes while in the back of the cop's squad car.
Kelly said the commission had no other choice but to agree with
Lilly's recommendation and sack Jackson.
"I don't think you can put her on the street knowing she's a ticking
time bomb," Kelly said.
Jackson's brother who represented her at the hearing, Riverwoods

police Officer David Marks, tried to convince the commission to
have compassion for his sister and allow her to stay on the job. He
also noted she lost a part-time Lakemoor police officer job after her
January arrest.
Under questioning from her brother, Jackson said her police officer
duties went beyond Kildeer. She testified she worked undercover
drug operations for the Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement
Group, Hawthorn Woods police and Carpentersville authorities, as
well as becoming deputized to help the FBI last year.
"I think she's a good detective," Marks said, "and she's an integral
part of this (Kildeer) agency."
influence of alcohol, speeding and reckless driving and refused to
take a Breathalyzer or field sobriety tests, according to police
reports. Her criminal case is in Lake County circuit court.
Jackson told Lilly she had two whiskey-and-colas before she and a
friend entered her 2004 Ford Mustang to drive to a Fox Lake tavern
before she was arrested early Jan. 5, according to testimony before
the police commission.
Lilly contended Jackson could not perform her police duties because
her driver's license has been summarily suspended for refusing the
DUI tests.

http://www.theheraldbulletin.com/br..._106175257.html
By SHAWN McGRATH
PENDLETON — A Pendleton Correctional Facility guard was arrested

Tuesday following a weeklong investigation on suspicion of bribery
for her alleged role in a plot to bring contraband into the prison.
Indiana State Police detectives arrested Tracy D. McGrady, 38,

Anderson, at about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday outside a Fortville CVS
pharmacy on suspicion of bribery, a Class C felony; trafficking with
an inmate, a Class C felony; and official misconduct, a Class D
felony.
McGrady was being held on $10,000 bond in the Madison County

Jail late Tuesday. She could make an initial court appearance as

early as Wednesday.
“We aggressively go after staff, guards and visitors that smuggle

stuff in,” ISP Detective Bob May said.
May said an inmate at the Pendleton facility had approached an

Indiana Department of Correction employee about smuggling
contraband into the prison for $500 per load. The employee, whose
name was not released because the person works as an ISP
informant, was told to call McGrady and then smuggle what the
informant believed to be tobacco into the prison.
The informant called McGrady Tuesday morning and arranged for a

meeting at the Fortville pharmacy. McGrady was to give the
informant a quart-sized frozen food container. May said the
container held frozen stew with about 5 3/4 ounces of marijuana
packaged in bundles inside. McGrady was also to give the DOC
employee $500, he said.
Madison Circuit Judge Fredrick Spencer issued a search warrant

Tuesday for McGrady’s home in the 800 block of Sun Valley Drive
and another 15 containers of food with suspected marijuana inside
— three of them frozen — were discovered.
“She was an accomplished cook,” May said. “It was gumbo, chicken
and dumplings, lasagna.”
He said ISP crime lab technicians are expected to fully examine the
15 containers Wednesday.
“There could be cell phones in there; it could be cocaine,” May said.
McGrady’s two teenage children, a son and daughter, were at the

home when detectives served the search warrant. They were turned
over to the custody of a relative, May said.
The detective said McGrady hasn’t cooperated with police. It wasn’t

immediately known if she has hired an attorney.
“She lawyered up,” May said. “She invoked her constitutional right
against self-incrimination.”
Neil Potter, Pendleton prison spokesman, said McGrady has worked

as a correctional officer since July 2002. Her salary wasn’t
immediately available. Potter said McGrady has been on unpaid
suspension since March 20, but couldn’t confirm it was connected to
the trafficking investigation.
“I’m not sure if it was solely because of this investigation,” he said.
DOC officials, ISP Senior Trooper Dave Preston and his department
K-9, Colt, assisted in the investigation and arrest.

Posts: 31403 9:49 p.m.: Off-duty prison guard faces battery charge
By SHAWN McGRATH
A Pendleton prison guard has been suspended after she was

arrested for allegedly hitting a neighbor in the face with her work
belt.
Tracy D. McGrady, 38, Anderson, is charged with battery, a

Class A misdemeanor punishable by six months to three
years in jail. She was arrested at her home in the 800 block
of Sun Valley Drive around 6 p.m. Sunday, and was released
from the Madison County Jail on $5,000 bond Tuesday.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed with the charge:
McGrady went to a neighbor’s home because she thought the

neighbor’s daughter stole her handcuffs from her vehicle Saturday
night. It wasn’t clear from the court documents if the handcuffs
were issued by the prison. When the daughter answered the door,
McGrady loudly asked to talk to her mother.
The mother asked McGrady to “turn it down a notch” and that they
could discuss the problem. McGrady then replied, “I don’t have to
do (expletive).”
At that point, the neighbor said she didn’t want to talk any longer,
and tried closing the front door. McGrady pushed the door back,

and put her foot between the door and the frame.
The neighbor tried pushing McGrady back, but McGrady allegedly

used her “duty belt” to hit the woman on the right side of her face.
The neighbor and McGrady began to struggle with one another, and
McGrady allegedly hit the woman several more times with the belt.
Neil Potter, Pendleton Correctional Facility spokesman, said a duty

belt is a prison-issue belt made of a nylon-type material. He said
guards use the belts to carry soft cases, where they store various
items, like handcuffs, radio or keys.
McGrady made an initial court appearance Monday in Anderson City

Court. Her trial is scheduled for Feb. 8. A published telephone
listing for McGrady in Anderson could not be located. She could not
be reached for comment Tuesday.
McGrady has worked as a guard at the Pendleton Correctional

Facility since July 2002, according to Potter. He said her
employment at the prison has been put on hold.
“Basically, at this point she has been suspended pending internal

investigation and review from the arresting agency involved,” Potter
said. “They’ll be making arrangements with her for a formal
hearing, covering her employment status.”
Potter said McGrady’s suspension until the hearing will be without

pay.

Former Point Pleasant Beach police officer sentenced to five years
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 01/5/07
BY KAREN SUDOL
FREEHOLD — A former Point Pleasant Beach police officer was

sentenced today to a five-year prison term for causing a five-car
crash in Brielle when he was drunk.
Patrick Flynn, 35, had pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated

assault - two
second-degree and two third-degree charges.

He also had admitted driving while intoxicated. Assistant Prosecutor

Marc LeMieux said his blood alcohol level registered a .229 three
hours after the June 25, 2005 crash on Route 35.
Flynn crashed into a sport-utility vehicle that had stopped for a

bridge opening.
Three other vehicles were then struck from behind. All 10 people
involved in the crash were taken to the hospital.
At his sentencing today, Flynn said he hoped those he injured could

forgive him and he wasn't proud of himself.
This was Flynn's second driving while intoxicated conviction.

HARLAN, Ky. --
A former eastern Kentucky police chief pleaded guilty on Friday to
drug trafficking in exchange for a year in jail.
James W. Cooper, 57, of White Plains, Md., must also forfeit cash
seized during his arrest. Cooper was the police chief in Evarts, as
well as an officer with several agencies, during the 1990s.

Harlan County Sheriff's deputies arrested Cooper in August 2005

during a traffic stop. Police said Cooper had OxyContin pills and a
"substantial" amount of cash on him when he was arrested.
Special Judge Cletus Maricle accepted the plea, but told Cooper that
he wasn't bound to sentence him to two years probation during a
hearing scheduled for April 4.
Cooper was allowed to remain out of jail on bond until sentencing.

An Ironton police officer has resigned after an incident Friday

morning during which he was charged with driving while intoxicated
and failure to control a motor vehicle.
Brad Layman, 22, of 407 1/2 Railroad St., Ironton, is scheduled to

appear in Ironton Municipal Court this afternoon for arraignment on
those charges.

“He was traveling down Fourth Street and hit a parked vehicle and
then hit a tree,” Ironton Police Chief Jim Carey said.
Neither Layman nor anyone else was injured in the incident that
occurred at 2:28 a.m. Friday. Layman tendered his resignation later
that same day.
*
“This is unfortunate,” Carey said. “The sad thing is, he was doing a
good job. He caught on quickly. But he made a bad decision.”
Layman was hired by the city Jan. 12. Layman was unable to be
reached for comment.

Doesn't matter how good a person he was or how good of a job he

was doing. Carey needs to stop minimizing. Layman may have
made a bad decision as Carey implies, but he also committed a

field sobriety test on St. Patrick's Day tried to use his position in the
department to avoid being taken into custody, an arrest warrant
alleges.
Milwaukee County Shriff Deputy Arrested for OWI
According to the arrest report, Christopher Conell told police that

he's been dealing with a lot of personal issues, is seeking treatment

for anger management and begged a Hales Corners officer who

pulled him over not to arrest him.
sponsor
Investigators said the 35-year-old Conell, who is a 12-year veteran

of the force, was driving near Forest Home and Grange avenues
when he stopped at a green light and swerved across the center
lane three times.
The report says Conell told the officer that he was making a big
mistake by arresting him.
According to the report, Conell said "I can't believe you are doing
this. I'm, like, two blocks from home," and "Don't do this to one of
your own." Conell was combative with the officer and threatened to
harm himself, the report said. It also says he told officers, "You
know how many cops I have stopped and let go? Hundreds. If I saw
a car smashed up against the wall, and it was a cop, I would let the
man go. You don't have to do this to me."
Conell failed a field sobriety test and the report says Conell's blood-
alcohol level was .22 percent, nearly three times the legal limit in
Wisconsin.
"I think it just goes to show no one is immune from that behavior,"
said Lt. Eric Cena of the Hales Corners Police Department.
Conell didn't comment on Tuesday, but Hales Corners officers said

the situation shows that no one is above the law.
"It lets the public know law enforcement still goes on, and we
continue to do our best to combat it," Cena said.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke released a statement saying,

"It's embarrassing when the kind of behavior we implore the public
not to engage in, is exhibited by one of our own law enforcement
officers."
Conell is on administrative leave while an internal investigation is

conducted. It's his first offense of operating while intoxicated.

An off-duty Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy arrested on suspicion

of drunken driving early Tuesday pleaded with Hales Corners police
to let him continue driving home, saying, "You can't do this to one
of your own," the incident report says.
Sheriff's Deputy Christopher P. Conell, a 12-year veteran of the

sheriff's office, was pulled over by a Hales Corners police officer
about 12:50 a.m. at W. Grange Ave. and S. 110th St. after the
officer observed Conell's car drift across the center line on W.
Grange Ave. three times, according to the incident report.
Conell, 34, failed multiple field sobriety tests and had a blood-
alcohol level of 0.22, almost three times the amount considered
evidence of intoxication, the report says.
The arrest came as Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr.

doubled patrols for St. Patrick's Day to bust drunken drivers.

not to engage in is exhibited by one of our own law enforcement
officers," Clarke said in a statement Tuesday.
The sheriff's office, with the State Patrol, arrested 38 people on

suspicion of operating while intoxicated between 2 p.m. Monday
and 5 a.m. Tuesday.
According to the incident report:
Before the arresting officer was able to explain the reason for the
traffic stop, Conell produced his badge and said, "Come on, man,
I'm like two blocks from home, just let me go. Please, please."

Conell's speech was slurred and his breath smelled of alcohol.
A few hours after the arrest, Conell told the arresting officer that if
he had stopped an off-duty law enforcement officer, he would have
let the officer go.
"You know how many cops I have stopped and let go? Hundreds,"
he said. "If I saw a car smashed up against the wall and it was a
cop, I would let it go, man. You did not have to do this to me."
Conell, of Hales Corners, will be placed on administrative duty while

an investigation is conducted.

MKE County Sheriff's Deputy Arrested for OWI

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department heavily advocated for

partiers to have a designated driver on St. Patrick's Day.
Apparently, one of the deputies didn't get the message.
Hales Corners Police arrested Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Conell on

Monday night for operating while intoxicated.
Lieutenant Eric Cera says the officer showed peculiar behavior

behind the wheel.
"An officer on patrol observed a Saturn westbound on Grange

Avenue stop for a green light," said Cera.
"The officer followed the vehicle for several blocks, observed the
vehicle cross the center line, on three occasions."
After being pulled over, the 12-year veteran performed a field

sobriety test. He had a blood alcohol level of .22, which is almost
three times the legal limit of .08.
Cera says Conell was cited for operating left of center, operating
while intoxicated, and operating with a prohibited alcohol
concentration.
An incident report states that multiple times, Conell said that it was
unfair for fellow law enforcement officers to arrest him in this
situation.
"I can't believe you are doing this, I'm like two blocks from home.
Don't do this to one of your own," stated Conell to Hales Corners
Police Officer Douglas Sayeg, according to the incident report.
"You a------ better never drink and drive or speed.
"Your hardcore, doing this to one of you own, I bet you are proud of
yourself. You'll see, it will come back to you."
In a press release, Sheriff David Clarke has denounced the deputy's

behavior.
"It's embarassing when the kind of behavior we implore the public

not to engage in is exhibited by one of our own law enforcement
officers," said Clarke.

The deputy has been put on administrative duty during an internal

investigation.

Story Updated: Mar 19, 2008
Below are excerpts from the Hales Corners incident report of the
arrest of Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Conell, as
written by Hales Corners Police Officer Douglas Sayeg:
---------------------------
On Tuesday, March 18, 2008, I was assigned uniformed patrol in

marked squad 15 with a citizen ride along. At 12:50 A.M., I was
stopped south westbound on W. Forest Home Avenue at W. Grange
Avenue for the red light.

I further saw a Saturn stopped westbound on W. Grange Avenue for

the green traffic control signal. I saw that the vehicle was stopped
even though the motorist had a green light. It was not until the
light turned yellow did the motorist proceed through the
intersection and continue westbound on W. Grange Avenue.
I positioned myself behind the Saturn and saw the vehicle's left side
tires on three occasions between the 10000blk and 10400blk of W.
Grange Avenue begin to operate left of the center line. At this time
I activated my squad's overhead emergency lights and initiated a
vehicle stop on the auto.
I made contact with the male motorist and identified myself as a

Police Officer. Before I was able to explain the reason for my stop,
the motorist opened his wallet at which time I saw a deputy badge.
The driver then identified himself as a Milwaukee County Sheriff's
Deputy. The driver, later identified by his WI DL as Christopher P.
CONELL, stated, "Come on man, I'm like two blocks from home,
just let me go. Please, Please."
It was at this time while CONELL was speaking I noted that his
speech was heavily slurred, pupils were dilated, and there was a
very strong odor of intoxicants emitting from his breath as he
spoke. I asked CONELL if he had been drinking alcohol and he did
not answer my question. Instead CONELL stated, "You can't do this
to one of your own."
Again as he spoke I smelled an even stronger odor of intoxicants on

his breath and he speech continued to be very slurred.
At this time Sgt. Sonia Teran arrived on the scene of my stop. I

then re-approached CONELL and asked him to exit the vehicle so
we could perform some field sobriety tests. As CONELL exited the
vehicle he stated, "I can't believe you are doing this, I'm like two
blocks from home. Don't do this to one of your own."
--------------------------
Walk and Turn:
I told CONELL that the next test would be the walk and turn test. I
positioned CONELL with his right foot on a line in front of his left
foot. I told him to remain in this position and not start the test until
instructed to start the test. CONELL at this time put his right foot in
front of left foot as instructed. I then began my instructions for this
test. While doing so CONELL just began to state, "Please, Please,
Please, don't do this to me."
CONELL gave this statement throughout the entire instructions.

While he was stating this CONELL did not maintain his balance as
originally instructed. I then asked CONELL if he understood all the
directions of which I originally gave him. CONELL did not answer
my question. CONELL instead turned around to where Sgt. Teran

was standing. CONELL then told Sgt. Teran, "Come on, you can't do
this." Again at this time I had to ask CONELL if he understood my
instructions and that I wanted him to perform this test.
CONELL at this time turned back around towards me and just stood
there. CONELL then stated, "I can't do this, if you are going to
arrest me, then just arrest me."
At this time based on CONELL's failure to perform the tests

correctly, his driving behavior, slurred speech, dilated pupils, and
the strong odor of intoxicants on his breath, I felt that he had been
operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. I now told CONELL that
he was under arrest for operating while intoxicated. CONELL was
handcuffed (double locked) and searched (no weapons or
contraband were found).
CONELL was then escorted to the rear of my vehicle. While walking

him to my squad CONELL was asking me to please not to this to
him and that he was only a couple blocks from home. CONELL was
then placed in the rear of my squad and I conveyed him to the
Hales Corners Police Department.
-------------------------
He then stated, "You a------ better never drink and drive or speed."
CONELL then said, "Go ahead and write it down." It was now
another arrested subject was brought in to the booking room. I
then placed CONELL on a second holding bench and secured his
hand to the bench with a handcuff. He was then monitored as I
completed my paperwork.
At around 3:30 A.M., CONELL was allowed to speak with a visitor in

a private area of the Police Department. Then at 4:02 A.M., I
prepared to take CONELL to the Milwaukee County Mental Health
Complex (MCMH) for evaluation. My citizen ride along also was with
me during the transport. While enroute to MCMH CONELL stated,
"You know how many cops I have stopped and let go, hundreds. If I
saw a car smashed up against the wall and it was a cop, I would let
it go man. You did not have to this to me." He then stated, "I'm a
13 year veteran of the sheriff's department and now here I sit
handcuffed in the back seat of a squad." CONELL then continued to
yell at me explaining that Hales Corners was screwed and "f-----."
At 4:13 A.M. we arrived at MCMH. As CONELL exited the vehicle he

asked that I have the dignity to un-handcuff him before he got in to
the building. I told CONELL I would not do that. CONELL then said,
"Your hardcore, doing this to one of you own, I bet you are proud of
yourself." CONELL then stated, "You'll see, it will come back to you."

Posts: 31403 MILWAUKEE (AP) - A Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy was
arrested for drunken driving after the department issued stern
warnings to the public not to drink and drive on St. Patrick's Day.
An arrest report says Christopher Conell begged a Hales Corners

police officer not to arrest him Monday and told him he was making
a big mistake.
The 35-year-old Conell is a 12-year veteran of the sheriff's

department. The report says Conell was combative during the
arrest and threatened to harm himself.
It says Conell failed a field sobriety test and that his blood alcohol
level was .22%, nearly three times the legal limit in Wisconsin.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke released a statement saying,

not to engage in, is exhibited by 1 of our own law enforcement
officers."

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department will investigate the

patrol activities of a deputy who was quoted by the Hales Corners
police officer who stopped him on suspicion of drunken driving as
saying that he had "let go" hundreds of law enforcement colleagues
in traffic stops.
Deputy Christopher P. Conell, a 12-year veteran of the department,

made the incriminating remark after being stopped for drunken
driving shortly after midnight March 17, following St. Patrick's Day.
Conell was urging the officer to cut him a break, as Conell said he
had done for hundreds of other officers, according to the police
report on the arrest.
Sheriff's officials will review his traffic stops and citations to

determine whether there is a pattern or evidence of wrongdoing.
Any evidence will be referred to the district attorney's office if
warranted.
Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. announced the review Tuesday morning,

saying it is necessary to protect the integrity of the department.

A magisterial district judge dismissed drunken-driving charges

against a suspended Old Forge cop Thursday, which could clear the
way for the officer to go back to work.
Steven R. Lowe, 29, of 1064 Newton Road, was charged after

wrecking his Buick on the 100 block of Northern Boulevard on Dec.
5.

South Abington police Officer Christopher G. Michaels found him

walking along Scott Road a few minutes after the accident was
reported.
Although a breath test at police headquarters showed Officer

Lowe was below the .08 percent legal limit, he insisted
Officer Michaels take him for a blood test. The blood test
measured Officer Lowe’s blood- alcohol level at .081 percent,
and he was charged with DUI.
Officer Lowe’s attorney, Jason Mattioli, argued at the hearing that

Officer Lowe’s blood was not taken within the two-hour time frame
required under state DUI laws. Deputy District Attorney Maryann
Grippo said the snowy weather and unusually busy hospital caused
the delay.
Ms. Grippo said she has no plans to refile the case or appeal the
judge’s decision.
“You put your case on, and the magistrate decides what he
decides,” she said.
Magisterial District Judge Thomas Golden did not give a reason for
the dismissal of the charges and declined to comment on his
decision.
Mr. Mattioli said he was “thrilled for Steven,” but had no

information Thursday about the status of the officer’s job.
Officer Lowe was suspended from the Old Forge Police Department
soon after his arrest in January and remains free on bail. Old Forge
police Chief Larry Semenza said Thursday he didn’t know what
Officer Lowe’s status would be now that the DUI charges have been
dismissed.
“I don’t make the decisions about that,” he said.
Old Forge Mayor Michele Avvisato could not be reached for

comment Thursday.

Williamson County Sheriff Arrested On Drug Charges

Posts: 2330
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley is under
arrest and charged with illegally receiving thousands of prescription
pills since last fall.
Police said Headley was arrested yesterday in Nashville after a long
investigation into the illegal dispensing of prescription drugs,
including painkillers.
Officers said he was taken into custody after picking up a bottle of

pills from a Nashville pharmacy.
Police said in a news release that Headley has received thousands

of Lortab and Soma pills from the pharmacy without a legitimate

prescription since last fall.
Officers said the pills apparently were for personal use and not for
resale.
Headley was elected sheriff in 2002 and has made drug

enforcement a priority in his upscale county just south of Nashville.
He is known as "the singing sheriff" and performed at the 2005
Williamson County Fair. Country legend George Jones also sang.
Also arrested was pharmacist Glenn Brooks, who was accused of

dispensing drugs without prescriptions to several people including
the sheriff.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The arrest of a sheriff and a retired
inspector for the state's pharmacy board in a prescription
fraud case reflects a major drug enforcement problem,
particularly in the Southeast, an investigators' Web site
shows.
A study shows that cases involving prescription drug abuse are

more prevalent in the Southeast, and rank fourth in a survey
among all drug cases, behind marijuana, methamphetamine and
cocaine, according to the National Association of Drug Diversion
Investigators Web site.
"We've seen a proliferation in the past couple years, particularly in

the past year in Tennessee," said Harry Summers, assistant special
agent in charge of Tennessee for the federal Drug Enforcement
Administration. The DEA has a unit that focuses on such
investigations.
Click here to find out more!
Summers said the availability of drugs over the Internet,

particularly from offshore pharmacists, is part of the problem.
A retired inspector for the state's pharmacy board, Charles Thomas

Burton, 57, of Smyrna, and Richard Warren Jett, 56, of Nashville
were arrested Thursday on charges of prescription drug fraud,
according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Nashville
police.

Helen Michelle Weathers, 32, of Nashville, was arrested Jan. 20 on

related charges and was arrested again Thursday on a new charge.
Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley, 43, was arrested

Wednesday along with a Nashville pharmacist on similar
charges. Headley was arrested at Brooks Drugs pharmacy in
Nashville and charged with illegally receiving the painkiller
Lortab, the muscle relaxant Soma and the anti-inflammatory
Cataflam.
Nashville attorney Ed Yarbrough, who is representing Headley, said

the sheriff was addicted to painkillers as a result of arthritis in his
back and a bulging spinal disk.
"To avoid surgery, he elected to use painkillers, and unfortunately

the situation did not improve," Yarbrough told The Tennessean.
He said Headley, 43, entered a drug treatment center Thursday

night.
The owner of the pharmacy, Glenn Brooks, 69, was also arrested
and charged with dispensing prescription drugs, including powerful
painkillers, to Headley and several other customers.
Burton retired in 1998 as an inspector for the pharmacy board. He

is charged with one felony count of obtaining the painkiller Lortab
without a prescription from Brooks. Jett also is charged with one
felony count involving Lortab.
Weathers was first arrested Jan. 20 and charged with possession of

narcotics for resale. Police say she was found with 800 hydrocodone
pills. The new arrest is on one felony charge of obtaining Lortab
under another woman's name.
Nashville police said abuse of prescription drugs has long been a

problem in area.
"What will sell in a pharmacy for a couple of cents a pill will sell on
the street for dollars per pill," said police spokesman Don Aaron. "In
addition to the marijuana and cocaine sold on the street, there's
also a market for illegally obtained painkillers."
William Benson, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's assistant

director of drug investigations, said drug diversion has increased
because higher demand for prescriptions has driven up the
inventory of drugs for those wishing to obtain or sell them illegally.
The agency has plans to direct more investigators to the problem,

he said.
Also, there is more awareness about what drugs are available, and
their effects.
"Rather than going out and buying cocaine or heroin, they get their

high from different types of pills," Benson said.
In December, the state pharmacy board started a new database to

track certain types of painkillers and other medications that are
popular on the street. Doctors and pharmacists must report those
prescription requests to the state, and later this year the database
will allow medical professionals to view a patient's prescription
history, said Meredith Sullivan, an assistant commissioner in the
Department of Commerce and Insurance.
So far, the database has more than a million prescriptions, Sullivan

said.
Brooks Faces Felony Charges
Glenn Brooks now faces felony charges of selling narcotics.
Friday in court, an undercover investigator said Brooks Pharmacy

wasn't doing much legitimate business and that large quantities of
addictive painkillers were being sold, allegedly without a
prescription.
"The scheduled narcotics, according to Mr. Brooks, was the biggest

part of his sales, specifically hydrocodone,” said investigator Randy
Martin.
Brooks was trying to get out of jail on bond to visit his wife, who's
wintering in Florida.
Martin claimed there's another woman involved and that Brooks

allegedly lied about it.
"Mr. Brooks had been having an affair with her. We knew about the
affair. He denied it and denied it and denied it, and we said we were
going to talk to the young lady about it,” Martin said.
Brooks' attorney said his client didn't want his wife to hear about
the felony drug charges and an alleged affair from someone else.
"He's horribly embarrassed and wanted to take two days this

weekend to go down and explain to his wife what's going on,” said
Brooks’ attorney, Jack Butler.
Judge Casey Moreland agreed with prosecutors that Brooks could be

a flight risk if he headed to Florida right now, but he did let him out
of jail on $75,000 bond.
Brooks is due back in court later in February when investigators will

reveal details of the two-year drug investigation.
Three other people, including a retired investigator for the state

Pharmacy Board, have also been arrested in the case.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. -- The illegal prescription bust that snared the
Williamson County sheriff got bigger Thursday.
Related: Video
http://www.wsmv.com/video/10904497/index.html
Charles Burton, Richard Jett and Helen Weathers are the latest to
be picked up by police.
Burton is a former employee of the state Board of Pharmacy.
Thursday, longtime friends and co-workers of Williamson County

Sheriff Ricky Headley reacted with disbelief.
It was Headley's music playing that first introduced Chris and

William Burns to Headley.

They later formed Headley's campaign support staff and said they
consider him a second son, but learned of his arrest on television.
"We didn't know whether to start crying, we didn't know what to

do. It was just such a shock to us,” Chris Burns said.
“It came out of left field,” said Deputy Sheriff Dusty Rhoades.
Word of Headley's arrest in connection to an illegal prescription

drug operation also surprised his own command staff who Headley
called to his house Thursday.
Rhoades said he apologized for the situation and told them to keep
doing what they are doing.
“We'll have to take our hits. It's two black eyes on us. We'll weather
the storm,” Rhoades said.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Headley had received

thousands of painkillers without a legal prescription.
Supporters said that’s hard to hear of the sheriff who's a vocal

antidrug advocate.
“Wonder why, with so many people who care about you, love you,
could you not come to some of us and ask us for help,” William
Burns said.
The Burns said never in the six years they've known Headley did he
mention the pills or chronic pain.
They haven't spoken to him since his arrest but said they do have a
message for him.
“Just say we supported him before and we'll do anything we can

now to support him now,” they said.
Headley has not resigned from office.
A woman who answered the door at his home Thursday had no

comment.
The TBI said Headley had the drugs for his own use.
Friends said all they know is that he has been suffering from a
thyroid condition that's caused him to lose weight and become
groggy at times, but they said they knew nothing about pain.

Brooks Pharmacy Defendants Indicted

Registered: Jul 2003 Updated: Oct 12, 2007 06:16 PM

Location:
Posts: 31403 Nashville, Tenn. - A Davidson County grand jury Friday indicted
three defendants including Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley
in the joint Metro Police and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation into
Brooks Pharmacy from earlier this year.
The three are accused of illegally obtaining prescription drugs and

have been charged with numerous felonies and misdemeanors,
according to a joint TBI and Metro police news release.
"Headley, 43, has been indicted on 17 counts of unlawful

distribution of a controlled substance, Class D felonies; 12 counts of
possession of a controlled substance, class A misdemeanors; three
counts of unlawful distribution of legend drugs, class C
misdemeanors; and one count of possession of a legend drug
without a prescription, a Class C misdemeanor," according to the
news release.
The charges stem from a two-year investigation into Brooks

Pharmacy.
Headley was arrested Jan. 31, 2007 for illegally obtaining nearly
2,000 doses of the prescription drugs Hydrocodone, Soma, and
Cataflam between October 2006 and January 2007.
"It is expected that Criminal Court Judge Steve Dozier will arraign
Headley in the coming weeks on the Davidson County indictment,"
according to the news release.
Earlier this week, a Williamson County grand jury indicted the

sheriff on four counts of official misconduct.
Also indicted in this case were Charles Burton, who retired as an

inspector for the pharmacy board in 1988 and former Brooks
Pharmacy employee Helen Michelle Weathers.
Burton was charged with five counts of unlawful distribution of a

controlled substance and five counts of possession of a controlled
substance for obtaining Hydrocodone and Darvocet from Brooks
Pharmacy.
Weathers was indicted on three counts for obtaining Hydrocodone

by fraud; identity theft, and possession of Hydrocodone with intent
to distribute.
Burton's $5,000 bond is unchanged from his January arrest.

Weathers will also remain free on bond.
The case against pharmacy owner Glenn Brooks is being handled by

the U.S. Attorney's office.

"Several people had called me, said he's done so much for the city,
we need to do something for him," said Bobby Bennett, a Headley
supporter.
Last January, an undercover drug sting sent Headley to jail.
Police said he illegally got prescription painkillers from a Nashville

pharmacy.
Headley faces more than 30 criminal counts.
"If I didn't have people to help me in a time of crisis, I don't know

where I'd be today," Headley said in court.
Stonewall Jackson, Jimmy C. Newman and Jim Ed Brown are

scheduled to perform at the event. Tickets are $40 each and the
money goes toward Headley's defense fund.
Critics such as Pat Steele question the efficacy of such an event.
"It seems to me that it would be common sense that it's wrong,"

Steele said.
"Absolutely insane," said John Ian. "Why in the world would we help
someone or bail somebody out when they broke the law? They
should be reprimanded for breaking the law."
"It's something wrong about this," Steele said.
While the idea of the fundraiser is enough to leave naysayers

speechless, supporters such as Bennett said everyone deserves a
second chance.
"To those critics I just say we're all humans," he said. "We make
mistakes."
Country legend George Jones is scheduled to attend that fundraiser.

But organizers don't know if he'll take the stage Saturday night.
Headley's supporters have 800 tickets available for the fundraiser.

They hope to contribute $32,000 to the sheriff's defense fund.
Headley faces criminal charges in Davidson and Williamson

counties.

Posts: 31403 FRANKLIN - While leaving a Williamson County courtroom after
pleading not guilty on official misconduct charges, Sheriff Ricky
Headley got an earful from a disgruntled resident.
Franklin resident Chris Lyons took off work to attend this morning’s
arraignment. As Judge Kerry Blackwood was leaving the room,
Lyons yelled out, "Hey, sheriff: If you can’t do the time don’t
commit the crime, you hypocrite."

Lyons came within a few inches of Headley before deputies grabbed

him by the arm and escorted him from the building.
"I just wanted my point to be heard," Lyons said. "Where is the

public outrage over the sheriff?"
Headley talked to reporters after the hearing but would not answer
questions. He thanked his supporters, family and employees for
sticking by him.
"We have entered a plea of not guilty because I am not guilty of

official misconduct," Headley said.
He faces a total of 37 criminal charges connected with a two-year

investigation of Brooks Pharmacy in Nashville.
Headley said said his department is in "good shape" and that he will
continue to serve as sheriff.
Only the State Attorney General, the Williamson County District

Attorney’s Office or the county attorney can initiate proceedings to
remove the sheriff from office. None of those offices have done so.
Headley would lose his job if convicted of a felony.

He’s charged with four counts of official misconduct in Williamson

County, based on allegations that he was in uniform and used a
county-owned vehicle to pick up fraudulent prescriptions at the
pharmacy. Judge Blackwood set the case for trial on July 14.
Headley faces 33 counts in Davidson County, where he is scheduled

for arraignment tomorrow. Headley’s attorney David Raybin said
Headley will waive his right to appear and will enter a plea of not
guilty to those charges.

FRANKLIN — Plans for a concert to raise money for Williamson

County Sheriff Ricky Headley's legal expenses has reignited
resentment and support for the legally embattled lawman.
Some of Headley's closest friends have enlisted the help of several

country and bluegrass bands to perform Saturday at the former
Alexander Dodge building on North Royal Oaks Boulevard. Headley
himself plans to perform with the band Pure Country but said he
had no part in organizing the benefit.
Bobby Bennett, one of the event's organizers and a longtime

Headley friend, said the concert is a chance to give back to a man
who has "done a lot of good" for Williamson County.
"He's made a mistake," Bennett said of Headley. "None of us is

perfect. . . . He's raised thousands of dollars for charity and never
refused to help people in that situation."
But plenty of people aren't interested in shelling out $40 for a ticket
to help cover the legal expenses of a sheriff facing drug and
misconduct charges — a total of 37 criminal charges in Williamson
and Davidson counties.
"I flipped out," Franklin resident Tracy Hagan said.
"I cannot believe that, No. 1, he's still in office, and No. 2, . . . to
use celebrity connections almost glamorizes the situation," she said.
"I'm trying to explain to my 15-year-old why this is wrong."
Headley is charged with four counts of official misconduct in

Williamson County, based on allegations that he was in uniform and
used a county-owned vehicle to pick up fraudulent prescription
drugs at a Nashville pharmacy.
He said money raised will go to his attorney, David Raybin.
More benefits likely
When the benefit concert was initially announced, organizers touted

an appearance by country music star George Jones, who has since
backed out because of a scheduling conflict. On Tuesday, Jones
offered his support.

"Nancy and I wish we could be there for the party," Jones said. "As
far as I'm concerned, he's well-loved by so many people in the area
regardless of the problems. The thing that worries me about politics
is that everybody uses the first bad thing they can against you so
they can get rid of you and get their own somebody in there."
Jones alluded to his own personal indiscretions.
"We've all made mistakes. I know I've made mine, and I've fixed
them, and that's what the sheriff is trying to do if they would just
give him the chance," Jones said. "I don't think he should be
brought down to a low level just because he's human."
Headley friend and event organizer Buddy Victory said Saturday's

event would likely be the first in a series of similar support rallies
for Headley around the county over the next few months.
"I can't cast the first stone, but I can be there for someone who is
in trouble or hurting," Victory said.
Support humbles Headley
Williamson County resident Rick Cato said he believes Headley

should be paying for his own mistake.
"He's using his connections to bail himself out," Cato said.

"Basically, these people are going to raise money to pay this guy's
legal bills. What do they get in return if this guy stays sheriff?
Basically favoritism. Their kids or they will get pulled over and
they'll get out of it. . . . It's wrong. There are people sitting in jail
that made mistakes, too. If they had better counsel, maybe they'd
be out, too."
Headley said he's humbled by the support he's been shown. He said
he runs into people every day who tell
him they are praying for
him and think he's doing a good job.
"Me and my family have such great friends across the county who
have reached out to us, supported us," Headley said. "Folks called
me and said, 'We know the kind of person you are.' They know how
political this is. Pretty much all this is politics."
Headley said there are political motives behind calls for his ouster
but would not elaborate. He has admitted that he became addicted
to painkillers while dealing with back pain, but he said he's received
treatment for his addiction.
If convicted of any of the

21 felony charges he faces, Headley could be removed from office.
A timeline of the Ricky Headley case
Jan. 31, 2007: Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley is arrested

after leaving Brooks Pharmacy in Nashville, where police said he

had been illegally obtaining painkillers. Headley was charged with

two counts: obtaining scheduled drugs by fraud and obtaining a
legend drug by fraud. Investigators said he collected more than
1,900 pills between Oct. 2, 2006, and Jan. 20, 2007.
March 1: Headley returns to work after spending about 30 days in

an undisclosed rehabilitation facility.
April 25: Headley says he has no plans to resign as sheriff and will
fight the charges against him.
Oct. 8: A Williamson County grand jury indicts Headley on four

counts of official misconduct stemming from allegations that he was
in uniform and drove a county-owned vehicle to pick up drugs from
Brooks Pharmacy.
Oct. 11: Hundreds of Headley supporters hold a rally for the sheriff
on the steps of the Williamson County Judicial Center. Supporters
call the charges against him "political."
Oct. 12: A Davidson County grand jury indicts Headley on 33

counts related to unlawfully obtaining controlled substances.
Oct. 23-24: Headley enters not guilty pleas in Williamson and

Davidson counties.
Oct. 29: Williamson County Commissioner Jeff Ford calls for

Headley's resignation. Under state law only the state attorney,
county attorney or district attorney can attempt to oust an elected
official from office.
Dec. 18: A Franklin-based chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police

votes to kick Headley out its organization.
Jan. 2, 2008: Headley's attorney, David Raybin, asks judges in

Davidson and Williamson County to combine the charges and have
one trial instead of two.
July 14: Headley is scheduled to appear in a Williamson County

courtroom to stand trial on four counts of official misconduct. The
case has not been set for trial in Davidson County.

The money goes to paying legal fees for the sheriff who is facing
drug and misconduct charges.
Hundreds of people came out to a concert in Franklin in support of

Headley .
Some of Headley's closest friends organized the event.
For $50, attendees had barbeque and listened to several bands

perform at the former Alexander Dodge Building.
Bobby Bennett helped organize the event to help Sheriff Headley

with legal fees.
“We felt like at this time he needs people to show some help and
support. We think its time to pay back some things that he did for
us,” said Bennett.
Sheriff Headley is facing a total of 37 criminal charges in Williamson

and Davidson counties, including prescription drug fraud and official

misconduct.
The event was full of hugs and well wishes for Sheriff Headley and
at least one uniformed deputy showed out.
But not everyone in the community is supportive of the sheriff.
Bill Sisco, who opposes the benefit said, “Good luck for him, but he
won't be getting a penny of my money and I can't imagine anybody
would give him money to defend himself against something that is
obvious he did.”
Metro police say Headley got hundreds of painkillers without a

prescription.
Bennett feels the Headley shouldn’t have to face occurring legal

fees and says if it had been any other individual you wouldn't have
heard no more about it.
Sisco said, “Well I'm just amazed that he's still sheriff. I can tell you
if I got caught doing what he did I wouldn't have my job and I don't
work for the government.
Event organizers say they hope to hold a series of similar

fundraisers for Headley in the next few months.
Headley noted that he had no part in organizing the event.

Location: Outrageous. I find it disgusting that former [Williamson County]
Posts: 31403 Sheriff Headley even be considered for “diversion program.” Why
should he be treated differently then any other criminal that would
be in his predicament?
Not only has he indirectly made it difficult for many of us that

legitimately go to doctors that treat us through writing prescriptions
for chronic pain, he has brought embarrassment to an honorable
profession — the sheriff. He boldly declared he wasn’t going to
resign and continue in office as though nothing happened (until I
am guessing legal advice changed his mind), and he has already
been given a break in reducing what should be felony charges, to
misdemeanors. He should be an example for anybody that went
through the backdoor for thousands of narcotic drugs with no
prescriptions.
I have several friends that are law enforcement officers and all of
them agree with me they should throw the book at him. He has
tainted the badge.
Who cares that he is broke? He absolutely needs some kind of

severe punishment for dealing in drugs with no prescription! What
kind of message does it send our children when a public official gets
away with something that would send a ordinary citizen to jail far a
long time.
I am a fan of George Jones and I can appreciate his concern for

Headley. But I think [if] George really wants to help, let him pay off
Headley’s debts to attorney David Rabin. Then let him do time for
his felonies.
He should be accountable for his dereliction of duty to the citizens

of Williamson County.

A Davidson County grand jury has indicted Williamson County
Sheriff Ricky Headley on 33 separate drug charges related to his
alleged involvement in a prescription drug fraud scheme run out a
local south Nashville pharmacy.
Headley, who just yesterday was the benefactor of a rally in

Franklin, in which more than 200 reportedly attended in support of
Headley being allowed to keep his job as Sheriff, was indicted on 17
felony counts of illegally dispensing drugs, four misdemeanor
counts of obtaining prescription drugs by fraud and 12 counts of
misdemeanor simple drug possession.
Headley has remained free since his initial arrest, but the grand
jury indictment means he will have to either turn himself in to the
Davidson County Sheriff’s Office to be booked or face arrest.
Headley had been represented by Nashville defense attorney Ed

Yarbrough.
But earlier this week Yarbrough was sworn in as Nashville’s top

federal prosecutor.

Metro Police say when they arrested Williamson County Sheriff

Ricky Headley in January, capping off a two-year-old prescription
drug fraud sting operation, the Sheriff was in possession not of the
potent pain killer hydrocodone, but of another drug • cataflam •
that he was using to help kick his admitted addiction to the pain
pills. But he had come into possession of thousands of each type of
the pills • the pain medication hydrocodone, as well as cataflam, or
diclofenac • without valid prescriptions, police charged. And
because of his long-running involvement with the owner of a
Nashville pharmacy also charged in the sting operation, Headley is
facing felony charges of prescription drug fraud that could strip him
of his law enforcement powers and even land him in jail. Headley
and Glenn Brooks, owner of the now-closed Brooks Pharmacy on
Trousdale Drive at Harding Road where police say Headley received
his fraudulent prescriptions, faced probable cause hearings
Wednesday in General Sessions Court. Brooks waived his right to
that hearing, and now a grand jury will decide whether to indict the
70-year-old pharmacist on two counts of felony prescription drug
fraud charges. Headley, though, fought hard to have his case
dropped. His attorney, Ed Yarbrough • who recently defended Mary
Winkler, the wife found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of
her minister husband • questioned the state•s lead witness for
nearly an hour. Yarbrough asked Judge Sue Evans to force Metro
Police Detective Randy Martin to reveal the identity of his
confidential informant • the person responsible for feeding police
and TBI agents information about what was going on inside Brooks
Pharmacy. Evans did not consent to Yarbrough•s request. But
Yarbrough was able to solicit new information from Martin, the
case•s lead investigator, including the revelation that police paid
the informant and that authorities even went so far as to place an
undercover TBI officer in the pharmacy as an employee to complete
their investigation. That, Yarbrough said, revealed the weakness of
the state•s case, which he argued failed to prove that Headley
himself committed any forgery or act of fraud. Evans disagreed,
and found probable cause to bind Headley•s case over to a grand
jury as well. •He knew what he went there for,• Evans said. •He got
it, he left, he knew what he was doing, and he admitted to it.•
Following the hearing, Yarbrough said all his client was guilty of was
becoming addicted to a potent painkiller, relying on the generosity
of Brooks, and being in possession of a controlled substance, which
he admitted could likely result in Headley being found guilty of a
misdemeanor. •He does take responsibility for being in possession
of the narcotics when he should have had a prescription,•

Yarbrough said. •And our point is it should be treated as what it is,

and not tried to be inflated into something bigger.• Headley did not
answer any questions. Yarbrough said that Headley has no plans to
resign his office. •His plan right now is to proceed with the work
that he is doing. He feels as though the work is going well in
Williamson County, the public has been extremely supportive of
him, he appreciates that, and all of his deputies and employees are
doing a good job,• Yarbrough said. In addition to Headley and
Brooks, the case of co-defendant and pharmacy employee Michelle
Weathers also was bound over to a grand jury. Det. Martin testified
that when Weathers was arrested, she was found in possession of
842 hydrocodone pills, which she removed from the pharmacy by
concealing a bottle in her lunch cooler. She had hundreds of
prescription pills in her purse, additional schedule III narcotics in
unlabeled bottles in her car, and prescriptions of hydrocodone in
the names of pharmacy customers in her home, Martin said. •It•s
our belief that with the amount of pills she was taking and the
lifestyle she was leading, she was selling the drugs to supplement
her income,• Martin said. The sting operation also resulted in the
arrest of Richard Jett. All charges against Jett, however, were
dropped after Evans ruled that the state failed to show any
evidence that he obtained any controlled substances by way of
fraud.

Ricky Headley will be in court tomorrow afternoon, his attorney said

Headley was arrested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and

Metro Police following a drug-fraud sting operation at the now-

According to police reports, Headley had received thousands of

FRANKLIN — Embattled Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley

today accepted a plea deal and resigned his post, effective
immediately.
The Williamson County District Attorney’s office, in conjunction with

Davidson County’s DA, agreed to offer Headley a suspended five-
year sentence — three years supervised probation, two years
unsupervised — with the agreement that he immediately will attend
an alcohol and drug treatment program and not to run for any
public office during those five years.
Special Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood agreed to implement those

terms at the hearing in Williamson County Circuit Court yesterday
afternoon.
Headley was present in court, but did not speak. His attorney,
David Raybin, said after the hearing that the plea agreement
“brings closure to this personal tragedy.”
The deal stems from Headley’s Jan. 31, 2007 arrest by Metro Police
and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents following a two-year
drug sting operation.
Headley was charged with obtaining painkillers without a

prescription from a now-closed pharmacy on Trousdale Drive in
Nashville.
As a formality, a sentencing hearing is set for March 24.

GRAYLING -- A former Crawford County Sheriff's deputy who served

as a school DARE officer faces felony marijuana charges.
William John Bonkowski III, 45, was arrested Thursday as part

of a series of 11 drug-related arrests around the county. The

Grayling Township resident worked for the sheriff's department for
more than a decade and for a time taught the school-based Drug
Abuse Resistance Education program, officials said.
At least one law enforcement official said the arrest of a former

colleague is disappointing and angering.
"It (ticked) me off. I take this personally. It's an insult to my

profession," said Sheriff Kirk Wakefield. "Not to mention he used to
work for me."
Bonkowski worked as a Crawford County deputy between

September 1996 and December 2006, first as a marine patrol
officer and then as a full-time deputy, Wakefield said.
He also worked as a school liaison officer with the Crawford-Au

Sable School District during his time as a deputy. He was assigned
to the primary and elementary schools in Grayling from 2001 to
2004, said Joe Powers, district superintendent.
That included running the schools' DARE program, he said.
Wakefield declined to comment about Bonkowski and the DARE

program.
Bonkowski faces a felony charge for allegedly possessing and trying

to deliver marijuana in Crawford County. He could face up to four
years in prison and a $20,000 fine, if convicted.
He posted a $5,000 bond and is set to appear for arraignment on

March 19 in 87th District Court in Grayling. The court does not have
an attorney on file for Bonkowski, who has not yet appeared before
a judge.
The arrest warrant was authorized by David Sabin, Crawford

County's assistant prosecuting attorney, who could not be reached
for comment.

Posts: 31403 GRAYLING •” Crawford County Sheriff Kirk Wakefield said one of
the 11 suspects arrested on drug charges in a weeklong roundup of
drug arrests was a former deputy who had served as the DARE
(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) officer for his department.
“I entrusted him to help mold our youth and then he does this. It’s
irritating,” Wakefield said of the 45-year-old ex-deputy identified as
William Bonkowski III of Grayling. Bonkowski had served 10 years
with the department.
According to Wakefield, the former deputy left the sheriff’s

department for medical reasons in 2006 and to the sheriff’s
knowledge, had not been arrested on any other drug charges prior
to last week’s arrest. Bonkowski was arrested Thursday and is
expected to be formally arraigned on charges of possession with
intent to deliver marijuana.
According to court records, arrested in last week’s sweep: Carroll

Teboe Jr. of Grayling; Holly Teboe, Grayling; David Burr of
Kalkaska; Donald Holland of Roscommon; Stacy Helsel of Grayling;
Brandon Colby of Grayling; Larry Vansickle of Grayling; and Floyd
Vansickle and David Gilliland of Frederic. Wakefield declined to
name the 11th individual arrested, saying it was “a sensitive
situation.”
According to Wakefield, the former DARE officer and other suspects

ranging in age from 17 to 50, will be arraigned in District Court next
week on a variety of drug charges ranging from possession of pills
to cocaine and marijuana. All of the suspects, including two
females, are out on bond while awaiting arraignment.
Wakefield said the arrests are the culmination of a year-long

investigation of tips, complaints and surveillance of suspected drug
traffickers by deputies and officers with the Strike Team
Investigative Narcotics Group (STING).
“I can’t say enough good things about STING. Without our

undercover guys we’d be hurting,” Wakefield said of the narcotics
officers from Crawford, Arenac, Iosco, Ogemaw, Oscoda and
Roscommon counties. “It sure has shaken up the system,”
Wakefield said of the impact last week’s arrests have had on drug
trafficking in the county.

GRAYLING -- A former Crawford County sheriff's deputy and school

DARE officer appeared in a Grayling courtroom on drug charges.
William John Bonkowski III, 45, was arraigned Wednesday in 87th

District Court on a felony charge of possession with intent to
distribute marijuana. He faces up to four years behind bars and a
$20,000 fine, if convicted.
Defense attorney James Hunt of Traverse City declined to comment

for this story, but said during the hearing that he had yet to receive
copies of all the evidence against his client. He requested a copy of
a search warrant prior to Bonkowski's April 1 pre-trial hearing.
Police arrested Bonkowski, of Grayling, last month as part of a

roundup of a dozen suspected drug offenders in Crawford County.
He was released after posting a $5,000 cash bond, court records
show.
Attorney Magistrate Camarin Talarico continued Bonkowski's bond

on Wednesday.
At least one local law enforcement official worried about how

Bonkowski's arrest would affect his department's reputation.
"He's tagged as an ex-deputy and anytime something like this

happens, it reflects on the department," said Sheriff Kirk Wakefield,

Bonkowski's former boss.

September 1996 and December 2006, when he retired for medical
reasons. He worked first as a marine patrol officer and then as a
full-time deputy, Wakefield said.
Bonkowski also served as a school liaison officer with the Crawford-

Au Sable School District during his time as a deputy and was
assigned to the primary and elementary schools in Grayling from
2001 to 2004, school officials said.
That assignment included teaching anti-drug lessons as part of the

nation-wide DARE program.
Bonkowski has no prior criminal record.

Drunk Sheriff's Deputy Is Killed, Mexican National Is Charged

Harris County, Texas, a speeding drunk driver is involved in

an auto accident with another vehicle and is killed. The
investigation into the accident, determined the intoxicated
driver was not wearing a seatbelt, and had a blood alcohol
content of .27, which is three times the legal limit in Texas.

What makes this different from most of the everyday stories

of drunk drivers causing injury and death is that the drunk
driver was Craig Miller, a Deputy with the Harris County
Sheriff's Department on duty, when he collied with Jose
Vieyra a Mexican national, in the country on an expired
visitor's visa.
Now the unfortunate and unlucky victim of Deputy Miller's choice to

drive under the influence is charged with criminal negligent
homicide and the Harris County Sheriff's Department is making
every attempt posible to shift blame to anyone but Deputy Miller
and they have the perfect patsy in the form of Jose Vieyra and
illegal immigrant. The sheriff's office commented, the fact that
Deputy Miller was drunk while on duty will have no baring on the D.
A.'s decesion to prosecute Vieyra for criminal neglegent homicide.
Sounds a lot like the "Blue Wall" mentality we hear time after time
after time, in which law enforcemnet officers are shielded from the
light of justice by their comrades in arms. In this instance the truth
is overlooked in an attempt to hide the dark side of Deputy Miller. It
is my experience with human nature that if you are comfortable
with going to work drunk, then you have done it in the past and the
atmosphere that allows someone to go on duty drunk is pre-
existing.
Even after eyewitness accounts verified the evidence at the scene

of the accident, such as no skid marks, that the deputy never even
attempted to use his brakes, the Harris County D.A. and the
Sheriff's department have ompted to continue with the farse of
blaming and prosecuting Vieyra.
It took over three weeks for the Sheriff's office and the D.A. to
acknowledge that Deputy Miller was driving drunk , while on duty.
County officials said there is a policy that prohibits reporting to
work intoxicated,but that Miller never indicated to his superviosor
that he had been drinking.
"Right now we have no evidence alcohol played a role in the crash,"

said Chief Billingsley from the Harris County Sheriff's office. A Harris
County assistant district attorney said, "Allegations that Miller was
drunk is not a factor in the accident."
Yea right. Sounds a little fishy to me, especially with the fact that
Miller never attempted to use his brakes, perhaps a delayed
reaction due to the Deputy being inoxicated. Also there is the
mystery surrounding the glitch with the information stored in the
black box in Miller's leased Toyota, which the deputy was driving
the night of the accident. Now all of a sudden Chief Billinglsey has
withdrawn all Toyotas from the Sheriff's Office fleet. Perhaps the
information supposedly lost, can further prove that Miller was at
fault for the accident, something the D.A. and the Sheriff are so
desperately trying to hide.
Besides the anti-immigration sentiments that are currently

sweeping the Nation, what would be the reason behind this rush to
judgment and kangaroo justice you might ask yourself. With the
many questions and the legalities surrounding the benefits the
Millers family is illegible to receive, I can easily see why those in the
Sheriff's Department are out to make sure Vieyra is found guilty. If
Deputy Miller is found to be at fault, benefits will be definitely be
denied. Mexican national is railroaded and successfully prosecuted;
the family of the drunken deputy gets compensation.
Local residents and civial rights organizations know all too well,
cops will protect other cops, even if it means stepping over the line
themselves. This is nothing new, especially in Texas. It just so
happened the Sheriff's office lucked out when they found the poor
guy at the end of the deputy's alcohol fueled accident was a Latino
and even better a Mexican national with an expired visa.
"Right now we have no evidence alcohol played a role in the crash,"

said Chief Billingsley from the Harris County Sheriff's office. A Harris
County assistant district attorney said, "Allegations that Miller was
drunk is not a factor in the accident."
Doesn't sound right does it.
AlcoholAffects Driving Skills...
Alcohol is involved in over half of the fatal car crashes in the U.S.
Although many states consider a driver legally intoxicated when the
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) reaches .10%, driving skills are
affected at levels as low as .03-.05%. Alcohol affects crucial driving
skills like quick reflexes and vision.
Now there is the chicken or the egg mentality that will tend to side
with and will defend the intoxicated Deputy and say if it were not
for the illegal immigrant , Miller would still be alive. Perhaps, but
then again if it were not for the fact that Deputy Miller chose to get
into a car with three times the legal limit of alcohol flowing in his
body and chose not to inform his superviosr of this fact he would
still be alive, or perhaps if had not met Jose Vieyra on the highway,
he might have instead met a van full of kids on their way back from
a school trip.
There is no one to blame but Deputy Miller and the silent attitude
and enviroment in the Sheriff's office that gave him the confidence
to drive drunk while on duty. Perhaps this is another factor driving
this rush to judgement.
Mean while questions remain, such as why the intial reports did not
mention the ordor of alcohol being detected at the scene? Why did
it take over 3 weeks for the Sheriff's office to acknowldge Deputy
Miller was drunk at the time of the accident? What happened to the
information in the black box in Miller's vehicle? Why the less than
complete and thorough investiagation into the accident? Knowing

the Texas and Harris justice system as I do, I know these question
will never be answered unless someone in at the Federal level
jumps in. If not this guy will be the next in line of our famous Texan
hang them all and sort them out later justic system.

Deputy's family disputes findings of intoxication

An on-duty undercover Harris County sheriff's deputy who was

killed in a car crash last month was legally drunk, according to
autopsy findings.
Tests show Deputy Craig Miller's blood alcohol level was about three
times the legal limit for driving on Feb. 21 when he crashed into a
commercial truck on a Katy Freeway access road, said Bill Hawkins,
an assistant Harris County district attorney. A motorist is legally
intoxicated when their blood alcohol level is 0.08 or above.
Miller's family issued a written statement questioning the accuracy

of the testing.
"Craig's accident and the ongoing investigation have raised many

questions and inconsistencies," the Miller family wrote in a prepared
statement. "The most current results of the investigation do not
equate to his actions prior to the accident, or are they in any way
consistent with the husband, father and friend and professional that

he was widely known to be."
A typical man of Miller's weight, 220 pounds, would have to

drink roughly 16 gin and tonics over a two-hour period to
reach a blood acohol level of 0.27, according to a calculator
developed by Intoximeters Inc. The St. Louis-based company
makes alcohol breath testing instruments for law
enforcement agencies.
Miller had been with the sheriff's department for 20 years. He and
his wife, Michelle, lived in Katy with their two young children.
Jose Jesus Vieyra is in jail charged with criminally negligent

homicide. Sheriff's office investigators have said Vieyra caused the
crash by crossing three lanes of traffic in front of the deputy. A
grand jury has yet to act on the case.
`Ìt's outrageous,'' Vieyra's attorney Ronald Helson said.

`Ànybody who is driving a motor vehicle with that much alcohol in
their system, that's the most outrageous thing about this.'' He said
it is a tragedy that the deputy was killed but that he doesn't believe
his client was at fault.
In a brief interview at the Harris County Jail, Vieyra lowered his

head in silence when informed that Miller was drunk at the time of
the crash."
He was a human being," said Vieyra, clothed in an orange jumpsuit

with his hands cuffed behind his back and his legs in shackles. "He
didn't deserve to die."
Vieyra declined to discuss details of the crash. He indicated that he

has faith in the criminal justice system."
I'm praying to God for him and his family and also for me and my
family," Vieyra said.
Federal immigration officials have said Vieyra is in the country on a

visitor's visa that has expired.
The toxicology results may prohibit Miller's family from receiving

certain benefits, said Chief Deputy Danny Billingsley.
`Ìt's not as embarrasing to me as it is tragic,'' Billingsley said of

the test results.
An autopsy report included pathological findings that Miller suffered

from acute alcoholism, according to an official who said he had seen
the document.
Miller was off duty and at his home when his supervisor called and
asked him to relieve another deputy at an undercover assignment.
Miller did not expect to be called out that night, Billingsley said.
Miller would not have faced any disciplinary action had he refused

and told his supervisor he had been drinking, Billingsley said. But
Miller did not do so, and his supervisor did not notice any signs of
intoxication during the phone call, sheriff's officials said.
`Ì knew him to be a good, dedicated employee,'' Billingsley said.

``This does not change the fact that he was killed in the line of the
duty.''
At 7:19 p.m., as Miller drove a leased Toyota 4-Runner along the

inside lane of the Katy Freeway service road, he struck the back left
portion of a box truck that had pulled out of a car dealership and
veered into Miller's lane, sheriff's officials said. The deputy's SUV
then glanced off one of the truck's dually rams, struck a curb, rolled
over several times and landed on a concrete median.
Miller was not wearing his seatbelt.

Lawyers for a man accused of causing last month's car crash that
killed a Harris County sheriff's deputy called for their client's release
from jail Thursday after learning the dead lawman was driving
drunk on duty.
"He does not believe he's the cause of the accident," attorney
Ronald Helson said of his client, Jose Jesus Vieyra, who has been in
jail since the Feb. 21 crash.
Deputy Craig Miller had a blood alcohol level of 0.27 percent —

more than three times the legal limit — when he collided with a
commercial truck driven by Vieyra on a Katy Freeway access road,
according to the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office.
An autopsy report included pathological findings that Miller, 43,

suffered from acute alcoholism, said two officials who have seen the
report.
"It explains how the accident happened. If somebody's more than

three times the legal limit, their perception of the traffic around
them, their ability to hit the brakes, to perceive the other drivers is
greatly diminished," Helson said. "It's a huge factor."
Miller's family questioned the autopsy findings and called for

additional investigation.
Vieyra is charged with criminally negligent homicide and remains in

the Harris County Jail on $35,000 bail.
In a brief interview Thursday evening, Vieyra lowered his head in

silence when informed that Miller was drunk at the time of the
crash.
"He didn't deserve to die," Vieyra said. He declined to discuss the

crash and said he has faith in the justice system.
"I'm praying to God for him and his family and also for me and my
family," Vieyra said.
Federal immigration officials have said Vieyra is in the country on a

2006 visitor's visa that has expired.
Keeping an open mind

It was unclear Thursday whether the autopsy findings would affect

Vieyra's case.
Prosecutors are considering all of the evidence before going to a

grand jury, said Bill Hawkins, an assistant Harris County district
attorney.
"We're going to keep an open mind, in fairness to the defendant

and in fairness to the victim," Hawkins said.
He said he is prohibited from further discussing the case, but said

the district attorney's office has prosecuted cases where the victim
was intoxicated.
"It doesn't affect causation," Hawkins said. "A person is criminally

responsible if the result would not have occurred 'but-for' the
defendant's conduct."
A motorist is legally intoxicated when their blood alcohol level is

0.08 or above.
A man of Miller's weight, 220 pounds, would have to drink roughly

16 gin and tonics over a two-hour period to reach a blood alcohol
level of 0.27, according to a calculator developed by Intoximeters
Inc. The St. Louis-based company makes alcohol breath testing
devices for law enforcement agencies.
Most people lose consciousness when they reach 0.30 on the scale,
the company said.
The toxicology results may prohibit Miller's family from receiving

certain benefits they would have been entitled to had he not been
drunk when he died in the line of duty, said Chief Deputy Danny
Billingsley.
"I knew him to be a good, dedicated employee," Billingsley said of

Miller, a 20-year sheriff's veteran. "This does not change the fact
that he was killed in the line of the duty."
Family cites inconsistencies
Miller's family questioned the findings, saying there is other

evidence to indicate he was not intoxicated when the crash
occurred.
"Craig's accident and the ongoing investigation have raised many

questions and inconsistencies," the Miller family wrote in a prepared
statement.
"The most current results of the investigation do not equate to his

actions prior to the accident, nor are they in any way consistent
with the husband, father and friend and professional that he was
widely known to be.

"While it doesn't bring Craig back to his family, we will continue to

work with the Sheriff's Department to help them resolve these
pending issues and inconsistencies, and we greatly appreciate their
support and diligent efforts on Craig's behalf."
The married father of two was off-duty and at his Katy home on the
night of the accident when his supervisor called and asked him to
relieve another deputy at an undercover assignment.
Miller had already worked a day shift and did not expect to be
summoned back to work that night, Billingsley said.
Miller would not have faced any disciplinary action had he refused
and told his supervisor he had been drinking, Billingsley said. But
Miller accepted the assignment, and his supervisor did not notice
any signs of intoxication during the phone call, sheriff's officials said.
Crossing three lanes
Sheriff's office investigators have said Vieyra caused the crash by

crossing three lanes of traffic in front of the deputy about 7:20 p.m.
Investigators said the left rear tire of Vieyra's truck and the right
front tire of Miller's SUV collided, launching the SUV into the air
before landing on a concrete embankment separating the feeder
road from the freeway near Mason Road.
Billingsley said he did not know if a sober driver in Miller's position

could have avoided the collision.
Sheriff's accident investigators do not know how fast Miller was

driving because they did not find any skid marks.
They said they were also unable to retrieve any data from his
leased Toyota 4-Runner's crash computer.
However, a witness traveling behind the SUV and truck estimated

Miller was driving between 50 mph and 60 mph, Billingsley said.
Miller was not wearing a seat belt.
People who had seen Miller before the crash told investigators they
did not see any signs the deputy had been drinking. However, the
investigators have not finished interviewing all those who had
contact with Miller that day, Billingsley said.

Motives for quick arrest questioned
Activists say Hispanic driver in fatal crash was a scapegoat

Several civil rights activists on Friday alleged "anti-immigrant

hysteria" motivated the quick arrest of a Hispanic truck driver
involved in a fatal collision that killed a Harris County sheriff's
deputy who was drunk on duty.
And the League of United Latin American Citizens is calling for an

independent agency such as the FBI to investigate how the Harris
County Sheriff's Office and Harris County District Attorney's Office
handled the case.
"We don't feel the sheriff's office and DA's office can do a fair and
unbiased investigation on this case," said Francisco B. Rodriguez
III, director of LULAC's local office. "They have done minimal work
because they thought they had a scapegoat."
The truck driver, Mexican immigrant Jose Jesus Vieyra, 57, remains
in the Harris County Jail on a $35,000 bail, charged with criminally

negligent homicide. Activists are calling for his bail to be lowered so

he can return to work as he prepares to defend himself.
Vieyra was charged less than 24 hours after sheriff's deputy Craig
W. Miller crashed his leased Toyota SUV into the rear of Vieyra's
box truck on the Katy Freeway service road Feb. 21.
Sheriff's officials initially said Vieyra caused the crash by crossing

three lanes of traffic and veering in front of Miller. The sheriff's
department has said it is still interviewing witnesses and hasn't
completed an accident report.
But test results released Thursday by the Harris County Medical

Examiner's Office show Miller, 43, was highly intoxicated when the
crash occurred as he drove to an undercover surveillance
assignment.
Those findings indicated Miller had a blood-alcohol level between

0.27 and 0.32 — more than three times the legal limit — when he
died.
Prosecutors said they have not decided what to do about Vieyra's

case, so he remains in jail, where he has been for more than three
weeks. If he is released, Vieyra will likely be deported because he
overstayed his 2006 visitor visa, authorities said.
Rodriguez charged that the sheriff's office is engaged in a cover-up.
"What we would have liked was a thorough investigation,"

Rodriguez said. "It's been almost 30 days — yet the sheriff's office
has not gone out and interviewed all the people who were in
contact with Mr. Miller.
"They didn't extract information from the black box," Rodriguez

said, referring to the crash computer in Miller's leased Toyota. "A lot
of things fell through the cracks."
The sheriff's office declined to respond to Rodriguez's comments.

Sheriff Tommy Thomas, who was absent from a press conference
announcing Miller's toxicology results on Thursday, also declined
comment Friday.
One immigrants' rights activist said authorities' swift and stern

reaction to the Feb. 21 crash was "extreme" and called it typical of
incidents involving injuries or death to a law enforcement officer.
Vieyra's high bond and the time he has already spent in jail is
"really less about the reality of crime ... and more about catering to
the erroneous notion that his undocumented status is equal to him
being a criminal," said activist Maria Jimenez of Houston.
And Harris County has an unreasonable practice of setting high bail

for undocumented immigrants arrested for crimes because of fears
they will abscond before trial, Jimenez said.

Another civil rights activist said Vieyra was charged very quickly.
"This rush to judgment, this anti-immigrant hysteria, it clouds the

truth. It really does," said Randall Kallinen, president of the
American Rights Association, a civil rights and civil liberties group
based in Houston.
The Mexican Consulate in Houston is closely monitoring the case

and said Miller's blood-alcohol level changes the situation for
Vieyra, said spokeswoman Lolita Parkinson.
Harris County prosecutors may not be so quick to set him free,

however. Assistant District Attorney Bill Hawkins said allegations
that Miller was drunk don't affect causation in the collision.
Hawkins said he will wait for the sheriff's investigation to conclude

before taking the case to a grand jury.
During an interview Thursday, Vieyra was apparently being treated

as if he were highly dangerous. Despite being locked behind
protective glass, he was shackled at the ankles and had his hands
cuffed behind his back unlike other prisoners, who were able to
walk freely behind glass in a common room as they spoke with
visitors.
That's because Vieyra has been housed in administrative

segregation — apart from the jail's general population — for his
own safety, said sheriff's office spokesman David Crain. Such a
classification is used for all inmates charged in high-profile crimes,
including capital murders.
Sheriff's Office policy calls for all such inmates to remain shackled
and handcuffed when they receive visitors or are removed from
their cells. But sheriff's administrators are now weighing whether to
allow deputies the discretion to remove such restraints from
inmates who pose no threat to others, Crain said Friday.
Vieyra "is not a threat," Crain said. "He poses no hazard or danger
to us. He clearly should have been moved to visitation without the
restraints."
Chronicle reporters Brian Rogers and Dane Schiller contributed to

this report.

New details in deputy's death in wreck

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?s...ocal&id=6025882

Location:
Posts: 31403 HOUSTON -- We received the following news release from the
Harris County Sheriff's Department regarding Deputy Craig Miller,
who was killed in a wreck last month.
In order to collectively address on-going requests for information

from various sources regarding the circumstances surrounding the
tragic accident resulting in the death of Deputy Craig Miller, the
following public information is being provided by our Public
Information Office. Some information herein has previously been
released, but is reiterated for the benefit of those who may not
have received it.
Information Released Thursday, March 13, 2008:
* On March 13, 2008, the Harris County Sheriff's Office received

notification from the Harris County Medical Examiner's office that
the autopsy report and toxicology report regarding the death of
Deputy Craig Miller was complete.
* The autopsy, which was performed on February 22, 2008, and the
subsequent toxicology testing performed by the Medical Examiner's
staff, has determined that Deputy Miller's blood-alcohol content at
the time of his death was .27%.
* The cause of Deputy Miller's death is listed as "blunt
craniocervical trauma" and the manner of death is listed as
"accident."
* Shortly before the accident occurred, Deputy Miller, who was off-
duty at his residence, was contacted by his supervisor via telephone
and instructed to report to a location to assist in an investigation.
At no time was the supervisor ever made aware that Deputy Miller
was not in condition to report for the assignment.
* The information contained in the autopsy report has been
provided to the Harris County District Attorney's office. Decisions to
be made regarding the prosecution of Jose Jesus Vieyra relating to

the accident in which Deputy Miller died will be made by the District
Attorney's office. Information Released Monday, March 17, 2008:
* The supervisor who contacted Deputy Craig Miller via cell phone
and dispatched him to a surveillance operation involving a
"solicitation of capital murder" investigation, was Sgt. Bruce Carr
with the HCSO Investigative Support Unit (ISU). The ISU provides
support to on-going investigations by way of performing covert
visual and/or electronic surveillance on suspects believed to be
engaged in criminal activity.
* According to Sgt. Carr, he communicated with Deputy Craig Miller
during the time span of 6:30pm -- 6:35pm. As previously noted,
Sgt. Carr received no indication, verbally or otherwise, Deputy
Miller had been drinking and therefore would not be in condition to
accept the assignment. There are no, and never were audio
recordings of this communication, however, Sergeant Carr's cell
phone records are being retrieved to determine the exact time and
duration of his communication with Deputy Miller the evening of
February 21st. Once obtained, this information will supplement the
investigative traffic report .
* Deputy Miller's regularly scheduled duty hours on the date of his
death were 8:00am 4:00pm, and he began over-time duty at
approximately 6:45pm, when he went enroute to the assignment
given by Sgt. Carr.
* The accident that took Deputy Miller's life occurred in
unincorporated Harris County, and was therefore investigated by
the Harris County Sheriff's Office -- Traffic Division as a matter of
policy and standard procedure.
* There were no indications regarding the presence of alcohol or
intoxication at the scene of the accident.
* A thorough investigation was conducted at the scene of the
accident. The speed of Deputy Miller's vehicle was unable to be
estimated by traffic investigators due to the absence of "skid
marks", indicating Deputy Miller likely had not applied his brakes
prior to the collision. Witnesses at the scene estimate Deputy
Miller's vehicle may have been traveling 50-60mph.
* As of this date, Monday, March 17, 2008, the accident
investigation is not yet complete. The investigators estimate it will
likely be concluded within a few days time.
* Deputy Craig Miller was hired by the Harris County Sheriff's Office
as a Detention Officer on 08-03-87, and became a Certified Deputy
on 03-22-89. As a Deputy, Craig Miller's annual evaluations were all
above average, most being at the higher end of the spectrum.
During his 20 year tenure Deputy Miller received five (5) Letters of
Reprimand, the last being in 1996. Letters of Reprimand within the
Sheriff's Office are considered training opportunities and not
disciplinary action. Deputy Miller never received any formal
disciplinary action during his distinguished career with the Harris
County Sheriff's Office.
* Deputy Miller was assigned to the Investigative Support Unit
(ISU) on April 29, 2006.
* Sheriff Tommy Thomas was unavailable for the Press Release on
Thursday, March 13, 2008, which was conducted on his behalf by
Field Operations, Chief Deputy Danny Billingsley.

NAZARETH | An off-duty Easton police officer who was fired after a

night of drinking and later reinstated by an arbitrator was arrested
Sunday evening at a borough social club and accused of public
drunkenness.
Nazareth police Cpl. Thomas Trachta said officers found John

Zielinski visibly intoxicated at the Vigilance Hose Fire Co. social club
after police responded to a report of an intoxicated person. Police
said Zielinski had vomited on himself and was uncooperative with
officers trying to help him.
Trachta said Zielinski was arrested, taken to Nazareth Police

Department and cited with the summary offense. He said Zielinski
was released to his girlfriend.
"He was too intoxicated to be left alone," Trachta said.
Easton police Capt. David Ryan said there will be an internal review

of Zielinski's off-duty conduct. Zielinski is using time off accrued

from years of service and is not on administrative leave, Ryan said.
Ryan said disciplinary action will be handed down if deemed

necessary by Chief Larry Palmer after the outcome of the
investigation.
Zielinski recently returned to the Easton Police Department after a

six-month suspension for a May incident where he was found on
Easton's College Hill covered in mulch. Court records said he
smelled of alcohol, was swinging at other officers and asking to be
arrested.
During that incident, Zielinski also allegedly shouted profanities,

called out sick to the Northampton County 911 Center because he
was intoxicated and continued to call emergency dispatch for no
legitimate reason.
Zielinski was charged with public drunkenness and disorderly

conduct for the incident. The Northampton County District
Attorney's Office later withdrew the public drunkenness charge.
Easton City Council in August fired Zielinski for the College Hill
incident. Both Palmer and former Mayor Phil Mitman supported the
action.
Zielinski filed a grievance and was awarded his job back in

December by an arbitrator. The ruling by the arbitrator dictated
Zielinski attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings three times a week
for 26 weeks or attend a comparable program at the police chief's
discretion.
Mayor Sal Panto said Zielinski is out on sick leave, and the length of
his leave will depend on the time it takes the department to
complete its internal investigation.
Panto said there is no doubt in his mind he will recommend city

council terminate the officer if the results of the internal
investigation recommend Zielinski be fired.
"But the due process has to play out," he said.

Rejoining the Easton Police Department two weeks ago, Patrolman

John Zielinski was poised to make the most of his second chance.
Six months earlier, his career prospects looked grim when he was
fired by City Council after an embarrassing arrest on public
drunkenness and disorderly conduct charges.
But the firing was overturned by a judge during a grievance

hearing. Instead, he received a six-month suspension.
Now the 40-year-old officer faces another uphill battle to keep his
uniform.
Nazareth police found a volatile Zielinski, soiled in his own vomit,

outside a fire company social club around 10:30 p.m. Sunday and
charged him with public drunkenness.
A bartender at the Vigilant Hose Fire Company's social club, 49 S.

Broad St., called Nazareth police after Zielinski became a problem,
said Nazareth police Cpl. Thomas Trachta, the arresting officer.
Zielinski was ''verbally uncooperative'' and was taken to the police

station, where he charged with public drunkenness, a summary
offense, and released to his girlfriend, Trachta said.
Zielinski could not be reached for comment.
Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr. responded to the arrest without much
hesitation.
''I am bringing him before City Council for his termination,'' said
Panto, adding that Zielinski is currently on sick leave pending
results of the ongoing internal investigation.
''I believe in second chances, but enough is enough,'' Panto said.
Easton Police Chief Larry Palmer could not be reached for comment.
Zielinski was arrested at 3 a.m. May 6 2007 when he was found

stumbling on College Hill in Easton near the Forks Township border,

asking police to arrest him.
According to citations, his clothing was covered in mulch and dirt,

he had a cut on his forehead and he had trouble walking.
He allegedly shouted obscenities and swung at an officer.
He was cited for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The

public drunkenness charge was withdrawn and he pleaded guilty to
disorderly conduct, a summary offense, and paid a fine.
Since the May incident, the Easton Police Department has suffered
a number of embarrassing moments.
Three other police officers, both on- and off-duty, have had run-ins
with the law or have been caught up in problems that put their
careers in jeopardy.
Most recently, Easton police Detective James Krome was charged

by Wilson police with drunken driving. He resigned on Feb. 8, and
has applied for a special program that could expunge his record.
City Councilman Jeff Warren, who heads the Public Safety

Committee, said he agrees with the mayor.
''This new council needs to begin to crack down on these personnel

issues,'' Warren said.
The Easton Police Department issued a news release on the Sunday

incident at roughly 5 p.m. Tuesday. No administrative personnel
could be reached for comment following the release.

EASTON | A second city police officer this year has resigned in the
wake of an alcohol-related arrest.
Officer John Zielinski's last day with the Easton Police Department
will be March 31, Mayor Sal Panto said.
Zielinski, an 11-year veteran, has been on sick leave since his Feb.
24 arrest outside the Vigilance Hose Fire Co. in Nazareth.
Zielinski has been using accrued time off and was not placed on
administrative leave.
Panto said Wednesday the city received Zielinski's resignation letter

about two weeks ago.
Zielinski penned a "very general letter" indicating he was moving on

and "probably getting out of law enforcement," Panto said.
Efforts to reach Zielinski were unsuccessful.
Panto said he would have asked city council to fire Zielinski had the
police administration recommended his termination. An internal
investigation would have recommended Zielinski's termination, he
said.
Zielinski's resignation is the "cleanest, easiest" way he could have

handled the situation, Panto said.
"The city can move on and get his replacement ready for the July
(police) academy," the mayor said.
The city fired Zielinski in August after he pleaded guilty to

disorderly conduct following a drunken night on College Hill. He filed
a grievance, and a neutral arbitrator reduced his punishment to six
months' suspension without pay.
Nazareth police cited Zielinski for public drunkenness less than two
weeks after he back on the job.
Councilwoman Sandra Vulcano, who voted last year to fire Zielinski,

said she's relieved to hear he decided to resign rather than repeat

the entire process.
Vulcano also expressed frustration over the arbitrator's decision,

adding she thinks Chief Larry Palmer made the right decision to
terminate Zielinski.
"I would probably vote the same way again," she said.
Councilmen Jeff Warren and Ken Brown were also pleased to learn
that Zielinski chose to resign.
"It's the best-case scenario for everybody," Warren said. "It's my

hope that he does get any help that he deserves to get."
Zielinski made a responsible decision, Warren said, that points to

the leadership provided by Palmer and the police captains.
Police Detective James Krome resigned from the department in

early February. Krome was under investigation for drunken driving
charges while on call Jan. 5.
He was driving east on Northampton Street in Wilson Borough when

someone pulling out of Taco Bell struck the car he was driving.
Krome admitted to police that he had been drinking. His blood-
alcohol level reportedly was 0.16 percent. Neither he nor his
passenger was seriously hurt.
Neither Krome nor Zielinski is eligible for a city pension, officials

said.

Easton Police Officer John Zielinski has resigned from the force,
making him the second member of the department to leave after an
alcohol-related arrest this year.
Zielinski, who was arrested for public drunkenness last month in

Nazareth, sent in a letter of resignation two weeks ago, according

to Mayor Sal Panto.
Panto refused to say whether he requested the officer's resignation.

He said the resignation would go into effect March 31. City council
does not need to vote on it. Zielinski is not eligible for a pension,
the mayor said.
Easton police Chief Larry Palmer declined to comment on Zielinski's

resignation. Zielinski himself could not be reached for comment.
On Feb. 24, police in Nazareth came to the Vigilance Hose Fire

Company's club on South Broad Street in response to a complaint
that a patron had become a problem. At the bar, they found
Zielinski, who was -- according to Nazareth police -- verbally
uncooperative. He was charged with public drunkenness, a
summary offense, and released to his girlfriend, police said.
The resignation comes a little less than a month after Det. James
Krome left the police department. Krome faces DUI charges
connected to a traffic accident in Wilson on Jan. 5. According to
Wilson police, Krome's blood-alcohol level was .16 percent, twice
the legal limit. Krome was off duty at the time of the incident, but
was supposed to be on call Department regulations forbid on call
police officers from drinking.
Zielinski had been cited for public drunkenness and disorderly

conduct in Easton in May 2007, after he allegedly shouted
obscenities and swung at an officer who encountered him stumbling
through a College Hill neighborhood. City council fired Zielinski, but
he got his job back after a judge overturned council's ruling at a
grievance hearing. Instead, he got a six-month unpaid suspension,
and rejoined the force in early February.

Journal Inquirer via The Associated Press
WINDOSR, Conn. (AP) -- A Windsor police officer who faces charges

related to domestic violence and the theft of computer equipment
from police headquarters has been arrested on a drunken driving
charge.

Charles ``Gerry'' Bagley was accused of driving in the wrong

direction on Interstate 91 in Wethersfield on Nov. 10, state police
said. He was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol
and driving the wrong way on a highway.
He is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Nov. 24.
Bagley, 46, has been arrested four times this year. He was charged
in August with first-degree larceny and second-degree criminal
trespass. The charges stemmed from domestic violence complaints
by his wife.
He also was arrested on several counts of violating a protective

order by calling his wife and sending e-mails and instant messages,
police said.
Bagley also was accused of stealing from the Windsor Police

Department computers, a video camera and a Palm Pilot valued at
$7,500.

Lykens police chief suspended

Posts: 31403 When he came to Lykens as the police chief in January 2005, Chris
W.R. Wade presented himself as a crusader intent on cleaning up
drugs in the small burg in the northern end of Dauphin County.
Wade said that upon his arrival, he began identifying and arresting
dealers and users of marijuana, heroin and crack cocaine. He said
he turned some of the defendants into confidential informants and
made more arrests, putting a serious dent in the drug trade.

In the last year, he has made high-profile roundups, claiming

dozens of arrests and the infiltration of gangs and heroin rings.
But county authorities began wondering what was becoming of the

cases, along with the drugs and money confiscated. It seemed that
for the number of arrests Wade was claiming, few cases were
coming to county court, they said.
Last week, Wade was suspended with pay while the Dauphin
County district attorney’s office conducts an audit of the Lykens
police department. County detectives went through the police
station checking records and evidence lockers the same evening the
Borough Council suspended Wade.
“Basically, we are looking to determine why no charges were filed

against individuals who were rounded up in that drug ring about
which there was a press conference last summer,” Dauphin County
District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. said. “The investigation is
concerned with arrest procedures as well as evidentiary procedures
at the Lykens police department.”
Lykens solicitor Joseph Kerwin said Wade was placed on

“administrative leave” pending the outcome of the investigation. He
said he could not comment further.
Wade said he was on vacation and that he was unaware of any

suspension or investigation.
“I can’t comment on something I know nothing about,” he said. “I

can tell you that I am not currently suspended.”
Court records show Wade has made 43 arrests in the last two
years. While most are for drugs, that figure includes misdemeanors
and traffic violations.
Since June, when he announced the arrest of 20 adults and one

juvenile on drug charges at the end of an investigation, he has filed
charges against seven people, and only two of those were arrested
within the time frame of the purported raids.
“Twenty-one people were taken into custody at that point in time,

sir,” he said. “I don’t know what you’re digging for because I don’t
see what you’re making reference to. Just because charges haven’t
been filed doesn’t mean they won’t be filed. I know that we make
impactive arrests and we proceed forward with the charges. I think
you’re digging a path; you’re trying to create a story around
something that’s not going to evolve.”
Wade’s attorney, Alan L. Sodomsky, said Wade has done nothing

wrong and is looking forward to being returned to his position.
“Nobody’s contacted us to tell us anything,” Sodomsky said. “When

we are notified concerning details of the investigation we’ll respond.”
Last year, the borough settled a civil suit filed against Wade and

former Mayor Michael Kraska by a family who said Wade entered

their home during a going-away dinner for their son, a Marine who
was being deployed to Iraq. The family claimed that Wade, who
said he was investigating underage drinking, refused to leave and
pushed their son. The borough’s insurance company paid $12,000
to settle without admitting fault.
In 2000, Wade, then a Hamburg patrolman, was charged with

simple assault and making terroristic threats after he was accused
of brandishing a gun and threatening to kill a West Reading diner
patron for blowing smoke in his face, according to the Reading
Eagle. All charges were dismissed except for a count of disorderly
conduct, which was reduced to a summary offense and dismissed
when no witnesses showed up for the hearing.

Ex-Hamburg Cop Charged With Stealing
Location:
Posts: 2330 A former Berks County cop is on the other side of law tonight,
again. Lykens Borough Police Chief Chris Wade is accused of
stealing more than 3,000-dollars seized in a Dauphin County drug
investigation. This isn't the former Hamburg police officer's first
time tied up in a criminal controversy. Back in 2000, 69 News was
there after Wade allegedly threatened to shoot someone at the
West Reading Diner. Wade is free tonight awaiting a preliminary
hearing.

Less than two months after he was suspended with pay, a northern
Dauphin County police chief was accused Monday of stealing money
seized in drug busts and failing to indicate a prior arrest on an
official form.
Lykens Chief Chris W.R. Wade was charged with two counts of theft
and one count of unsworn falsification, according to a statement
issued by District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr.
Wade also was notified Friday that he is now suspended without

pay, borough Solicitor Joseph Kerwin said Monday night. The
Borough Council plans to discuss Wade's employment status, ,
Kerwin said.
Marsico said county detectives began investigating after the Lykens

Police Department announced results of a wide-ranging drug-
trafficking case last summer.

"The district attorney's office learned that no arrests were made as

a result of a particular drug investigation," Marsico said. "No
evidence, including drugs, was ever forwarded to the district
attorney's office and no monies seized in the investigation were
ever forwarded to the district attorney's office as required by law."
What investigators did find, Marsico said, was some of the

confiscated money in a pair of boxes in a children's bedroom closet
in Wade's home. Investigators were unable to locate $3,080 from
one drug seizure and $200 from another, Marsico said.
Additionally, Marsico said detectives discovered that Wade had

indicated on a form for the Municipal Police Officers Education and
Training Commission that he had never been arrested, though he
had been arrested by the Berks County district attorney's office in
May 2000.
The circumstances of Wade's arrest was not available Monday.
Wade's attorney, Allan L. Sodomsky of Reading, said he had not

seen any documents on the charges against his client and could not
comment.
"I don't know exactly what the accusations are," Sodomsky said.
"I'd have to see them. When you don't know what your [client is]
being accused of, it's hard to defend and deny."
Sodomsky said there was an incident in Berks County in 2000 in

which his client was investigated by the district attorney's office,
but he said he could not recall the particulars.
"There was a matter in which he was accused previously,"

Sodomsky said. "He was not only acquitted but his record was
expunged."
Efforts to reach Lykens Borough Council members for comment

were unsuccessful.
Dauphin County Court records show Wade, who was hired as

Lykens' chief in January 2005, has made 43 arrests in the last two
years. While most were for drug charges, that figure also includes
misdemeanors and traffic violations.
In June, Wade announced the arrests of 20 adults and one juvenile

on drug charges. But at the end of the investigation, he had filed
charges against only seven people, and only two of them were
arrested within the time frame of the purported raids.
"Twenty-one people were taken into custody at that point in time,

sir," Wade told The Patriot-News last month, when the investigation
was first reported. "I don't know what you're digging for because I
don't see what you're making reference to."
"Just because charges haven't been filed doesn't mean they won't
be filed," Wade said at the time. "I know that we make impactive

arrests and we proceed forward with the charges. I think you're

digging a path. You're trying to create a story around something
that's not going to evolve."

authorities.
In announcing the charges, the Dauphin County District Attorney's

Office alleged that more than $3,000 from two different drug
seizures remains unaccounted for at this time.
The DA's office also also alleged that Wade failed to indicate an
arrest in Berks County circa the year 2000 when he completed a
form for the MPOETC Municipal Police Officers Education and
Training Commission. He was required by law to list the arrest on
the form, according to the office.
In November 2007, the DA's office began an investigation of the

Lykens Borough Police Department after it had not received
evidence, or monies, supposedly seized by officers from a June
2007 incident publicized by the department as a drug sting
operation. During the investigation, the office also learned that
charges never were brought against people whom Lykens police
said were arrested as part
of the sting.

The police department was required by law to forward the seized

cash and evidence to the DA's office, according to a press release.
The charges against Wade were announced after press time for the
Jan. 15 issue of the Sentinel.
More details on this story will be published in the Sentinel's Jan. 22

print edition.
Lykens Borough Council had placed Wade on paid administrative

leave during the investigation. Council's first meeting since the
charges were announced is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m.
in council chambers, located in the borough office adjacent to West
Borough Park, Main Street.

A former Hamburg police officer, who once was accused of

threatening to shoot a customer in a West Reading diner,
has been charged with stealing more than $3,000 seized in
drug investigations in the Dauphin County community where
he is now police chief.
Chris W.R. Wade, 39, of Hamburg has been suspended without pay

from his job in Lykens, borough Solicitor Joseph Kerwin said

Tuesday
Wade has been police chief in Lykens since January 2005. Borough
council will discuss his job status Monday, Kerwin said.
Wade remains free awaiting a preliminary hearing on charges of

theft and unsworn falsification, according to Dauphin County District
Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr.
The latter charge is for failing to divulge his May 2000 Berks arrest
on an official form for the Municipal Police Officers Education and
Training Commission, Marsico said.
According to court records:
In November, county detectives became concerned that money that

Lykens police seized in drug raids last summer had not been
forwarded to the district attorney’s office as required.
Investigators also learned that no charges had been filed in the

raids, despite a wide-ranging drug trafficking investigation
announced in department press releases.
They advised Lykens Borough Council of their concerns and council

voted Nov. 19 to approve an audit of the department.
County detectives immediately went to the police station and

confronted Wade.
Wade said the confiscated money, which he estimated at $3,000,

was in the evidence closet. Wade went to the closet but could not
find the money.
Wade then told investigators the money probably was among

evidence he had taken home to work with while he was on vacation.
Detectives accompanied Wade to his house and found two boxes of

evidence from drug seizures in a closet in a child’s bedroom.
One of the boxes contained an unsealed evidence bag with a receipt

for $3,080 from a drug arrest in Lykens, but no money.
The next day, Wade told county detectives the money was missing
and that he wanted to file a theft report.
Detectives went to the police station and removed drug case files
and drug evidence.
They found another case from May 2005 in which $200 seized from
a drug arrest was missing.
Detectives are still matching the evidence they removed with drug
cases, according to a spokeswoman for the Dauphin County district
attorney’s office said.

The incident at the West Reading diner that led to Wade’s arrest in
May 2000 occurred in October 1999 when Wade was a part-time
patrolman in Hamburg.
Charges of simple assault, making terroristic threats and reckless

endangerment later were dismissed for lack of evidence at the
request of Wade’s attorney, Allan L. Sodomsky of Reading.
A remaining disorderly conduct charge was reduced to a summary

and he was found not guilty of a summary count of disorderly
conduct by District Judge Timothy M. Dougherty.
Sodomsky also is representing Wade in the Dauphin County case.

He said Tuesday that he hadn’t reviewed the charges and could not
comment.

LYKENS — The borough police chief has lost his job, but he may
find employment at another local municipality if the court rules in
his favor.
Lykens Borough Council Monday night officially terminated Police

Chief Chris W.R. Wade, but Tower City borough may hire him as a
policeman pending a background check, Tower City Mayor Dale W.
Deiter said.
Wade had been on an unpaid suspension due to published

allegations he stole money seized in drug busts and did not alert
the borough of a prior arrest on his job application.
Wade was charged with two counts of theft and one count of
unsworn falsification through Dauphin County District Attorney
Edward M. Marsico Jr. after investigators found some confiscated
money from drug busts in Wade’s home, The Patriot-News,
Harrisburg, reported.
Lykens Council President Claudia Maffei placed Wade’s employment

status first on the agenda at Monday night’s council meeting.
“I know that everybody is here for a purpose,” Maffei said during

the meeting. “I would like council to address this as the first matter
of business.”
She moved to have council “terminate the employment” of Wade

“effective immediately.”
Councilman James Buffington Jr. made the motion to terminate

Wade and Councilwoman Angela Bixler provided the second. The
motion won unanimous approval from council.
“His actions constitute a violation of his official duties,” Buffington

said.
Borough solicitor Joseph Kerwin said after the meeting Wade’s

criminal case is pending and he has not been convicted yet, but
“the action the borough took tonight is based on police procedure.”
Lykens Mayor Carl Slough Jr. will now take charge of the two-officer
police department.
Slough said after the meeting Wade was on administrative leave

with pay as of late November 2007 as a result of the district

attorney’s investigation and he was placed under suspension
without pay on Jan. 11.
Slough confirmed borough records, which say Wade, who was hired
in 2005, made 43 arrests in the last two years, most for drug
charges.
“That sounds about right,” Slough said. “He was very proactive.”
Deiter said in a phone interview Monday evening the borough

interviewed Wade about six weeks ago for a part-time police officer
position.
“He’s in limbo right now. If he’s found guilty and it holds, then he
won’t be hired,” Deiter said. “If this takes place in Lykens, he won’t
be hired.”

A Dauphin County police chief is out of a job after being accused of

stealing evidence in drug busts and lying about his own arrest
record.
The borough council fired Chief Chris Wade on Monday night.

County authorities charged Wade earlier this month with two counts
of theft and one count of unsworn falsification.
They say Wade wrote on a municipal police officer's reporting form

he had never been arrested, despite having been arrested in Berks
County in 2000.
They also say the Lykens police department was not sending seized
evidence and drugs to the prosecutor's office.
Wade's attorney, Allan Sodomsky, would say only that Wade

was acquitted in a previous incident and his record
expunged.

For The Patriot-News
He is not accused of having three-way sex with a drunken woman

at the town carnival.
He's not accused of making obscene phone calls to Sea World in

Florida or of having sex with teenage girls in the fire company
bunkhouse.
Those were previous Lykens police officers.
But Police Chief Chris W.R. Wade has joined a list of police officers

fired by the northern Dauphin County borough after encountering

legal problems.
The Lykens Borough Council fired Wade Monday night, alleging

conduct unbecoming a police officer.
County authorities charged Wade last week with two counts of theft
and a count of unsworn falsification.
District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. said last month that his
office was concerned by the lack of arrests after Wade announced
last summer that he had rounded up 21 people in a drug bust.
Marsico said his office also was investigating how evidence was
handled.
According to Marsico, investigators have been unable to locate

$3,280 missing from two drug seizures.
He said "a fair amount of drugs" were found in Wade's house during
the investigation. Wade told investigators "he was trying to catch
up on his work," Marsico said.
Wade also is accused of stating falsely on an official form that he

had never been arrested. According to Marsico, Wade was arrested
in 2000 by Berks County authorities. The nature of that arrest is not
known.
Wade's attorney, Allan L. Sodomsky of Reading, would not

comment Monday on the current charges. He said Wade was not
available for comment.
Sodomsky said he could not recall the details but said that Wade
had been accused and acquitted in a previous matter and that his
record had been expunged.
The firing Monday night is the latest in a series of Lykens police

problems in the last 17 years. Five officers, including two chiefs,
have been dismissed after facing criminal charges.
"I don't know why we've had a string of bad luck," Mayor Carl
Slough Jr. said before the meeting. Slough has been in charge of
the police department since November, when Marsico began his
investigation and the Borough Council suspended Wade.
Council President Claudia Maffei said Monday night that Wade was
hired after a clean background check and solid interviews. The
borough won't change hiring procedures, she said.
"We're disappointed because we had such high hopes for our police
department," Maffei said.
The borough no longer has the problems it once had with loitering
and speeding, and "I give credit to Chris," Maffei said.
But one Lykens resident, Sara Miller, 65, applauded when the

motion to fire Wade was made. "I'm glad they got rid of him," Miller
said.
The state has recommended since 1975 that small police

departments consider consolidation, but Lykens officials have
maintained their two-man department. Officials said Monday night
that they are counting on additional coverage from state police and
don't plan to replace Wade immediately.
POLICE TROUBLES
In 1990, both members of the department were accused of having

group sex with a drunken woman during a fire company carnival
and were fired after being charged with indecent assault. They were
admitted to a diversionary probation program. The man who
became the chief after their dismissal, Glenn Marchand, was fired in
1992 after being charged with official oppression and false
swearing. He was accused of trying to charge a couple with stealing
jackets he had given them. He was convicted of the charges.
Marchand was succeeded by George Keifer, who was fired after he
was charged with making dozens of obscene phone calls in 1992 to
a sales clerk at Sea World in Florida. Keifer initially pleaded guilty
but was allowed to withdraw the plea on grounds that he was
mentally incompetent. Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges
after Keifer's lawyer filed a motion to dismiss because there was no
action on the case for more than a year. A part-time police officer
had sex with 16- and 17-year-old girls in a fire department
bunkhouse and an ambulance. He was fired in 2004 and pleaded no
contest.

LYKENS — A former borough police chief whose job was terminated

in January will face his arraignment at a Dauphin County Court of
Common Pleas on March 20 for two counts of theft and one count of
unsworn falsification.
Chris W.R. Wade was charged through Dauphin County District

Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. after district attorney investigators
said they found some confiscated money from drug busts in Wade’s
home.
Wade’s attorney, Allan L. Sodomsky of Sodomsky and Nigrini Law

Offices, Reading, said none of the charges were dropped during a
preliminary hearing last week.
Sodomsky said the district attorney’s office claims the former

Lykens police chief did not return confiscated money from drug
arrests over to the district attorney’s office in a “timely manner.”
Phone calls to Marsico’s office were not returned Friday evening.
Wade had been on an unpaid suspension in the borough due to

allegations he stole money seized in drug busts and did not alert
the borough of a prior arrest on his job application.
Lykens borough council members voted unanimously Jan. 21 to

terminate Wade’s position in the borough. Mayor Carl Slough Jr. is
taking charge of the two-man police department.
“We’re moving forward and, when we get to the end, everybody

can make their own judgements, but Wade is looking for a
resolution to this matter and believes that he has not done anything
wrong,” Sodomsky said Friday.

Tower City Mayor Dale W. Deiter said in January that Wade applied
and was interviewed for a part-time police officer position in the
borough. Deiter said he will be hired only if found “not guilty.”

LYKENS — A former Lykens police chief charged with two counts of

theft and one count of unsworn falsification entered a not guilty
plea Thursday morning in the Dauphin County Court of Common
Pleas.
Chris W.R. Wade will face trial May 12 after Dauphin County district
attorney investigators found confiscated money in Wade’s home
from summer 2007 drug busts and discovered he omitted a prior
arrest on a police certification document, according to Deputy
District Attorney Jenni Allen.
“We were asked by Lykens borough council to do an audit of the

police department and that’s how we became involved in November
2007,” Allen said. “He had funds that he was supposed to dispose
of and he had a legal responsibility to do that, and he failed to do
that.”

The Lykens borough council voted unanimously Jan. 21 to

terminate Wade’s position in the borough after he had been on
unpaid suspension since the investigation results surfaced.
Following a Lykens police press conference held by Wade in

summer 2007 regarding several drug arrests in the borough, the
council asked the district attorney’s office for the department audit,
Allen said.
“I guess the borough wanted to know the disposition of those

cases. They asked us what information we had on the cases. Since
we didn’t have any, they then requested an audit,” Allen said.
A representative from the office of attorney Allan L. Sodomsky of

Sodomsky and Nigrini Law Offices, Reading, said although
Sodomsky has been in discussion with Wade regarding his case, he
has not been legally hired as his attorney yet.
Sodomsky was not available this week for comment.
Lykens Mayor Carl Slough Jr. said in January he would take charge
of the two-officer police department.

Posts: 31403 It will take more than a year before a Cincinnati police officer – who
received an award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving – goes to
trial in Indiana to face charges he was driving drunk.
Specialist Charles Beebe, who earned $106,255 in 2006, was

scheduled to go to trial Thursday in Dearborn County
following his May arrest in Aurora, Ind., where he was
charged with driving while intoxicated.
Police say when they pulled Beebe over, his blood-alcohol content
was .08 percent. Indiana like Ohio, considers a driver legally drunk
with a blood-alcohol content of .08 percent and above. Beebe was
driving a SUV that police said sped past them.
Police said a female driver of another car told them Beebe’s SUV
"passed her and ran two vehicles off the road."
Initially, Beebe’s trial was scheduled for October but it has now
been continued at least twice. Thursday was the latest of his three
trial dates have been set but the trial was continued today until
Aug. 19.

Beebe, 54, of Symmes Township, has been a Cincinnati

employee since 1971.
Earlier in 2007, Beebe was awarded the Top Cop award by MADD’s
Southwest Ohio chapter.
After the arrest, Beebe’s police powers were suspended and he was
assigned to desk duty.

charged with failure to yield at a stop intersection following a two-
vehicle accident at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday on Route 251 at North
23rd Road in Eden Township, south of Route 71 outside Oglesby’s
city limits.
A passenger in a sedan involved in the accident, 34-year-old Susan

I. Baldwin, was pronounced dead at the scene. She was not
wearing a seat belt, according to the report by state police.
The accident remains under investigation and the details have not
been released.
Lemmer, police said, was driving a Chevrolet K10 and motorist

Corey L. Baldwin, 33, of 351 W. Florence St., Oglesby, was driving
a Hyundai Tiburon at the scene of the crash.
Corey Baldwin was treated and released from Illinois Valley

Community Hospital, Peru. He was ticketed with failure to reduce
speed to avoid an accident.
La Salle County State's Attorney Joe Hettel said additional charges

may be pending against both drivers.
However, Hettel said it was not yet clear whether the pending
charges might include aggravated DUI causing a death (a new
charge devised by the Illinois General Assembly) because he was
awaiting tests on blood drawn from both Lemmer and Corey
Baldwin.
Equally unclear at this time, Hettel said, was which driver caused
the accident, a determination that would dictate whether more
serious charges would be leveled against either driver.
Oglesby police chief Tom Martin said today that Lemmer was placed
on administrative leave with pay, effective Monday, pending the
outcome of the investigation.
Lemmer is a 22-year veteran and has served as assistant chief for

about nine years.
"It’s a very sad situation," Martin said. "Our feelings go out not only
to the deceased but also to the assistant chief."
Martin noted the investigation is being conducted by state police,

the La Salle County Coroner's Office and the La Salle County State's

Attorney's Office.
"We (Oglesby police) have no role in this whatsoever," Martin

emphasized.
*end*
Lemmer was driving drunk and failed to yield at a stop intersection,

yet it's unclear who is at fault?

It’s a very sad situation," Martin said. "Our feelings go

out not only to the deceased but also to the assistant
chief.
He was driving drunk and breaking traffic laws, and you feel bad for
him? Undoubtedly, some cops would even have given Lemmer a
free pass had they pulled him over for DUI.

Glitch Forces Re-Sentencing Of Man In Ohio Officer's Death

Location:
Posts: 931
The family of a Columbus police officer who was killed while on duty
had already come face-to-face with the man convicted in her death,
but on Wednesday, a legal glitch forced them to relive that day,
NBC 4 reported.
Jacob Harper was convicted of the drunken driving death of

Columbus police Officer Melissa Foster.
In December 2004, police said Harper went left of center on Gender

Road and slammed his pickup truck into Foster's cruiser, killing the
mother of two.
"There's no words that I can say to change the past. Only time will
ease their pain," said Harper during his sentencing last August.

A flaw in the law forced a higher court to rule that Harper and
others should be re-sentenced, which led to another painful day in
court Wednesday, NBC 4 's John Ivanic reported.
"It's just revictimizing the family over and over. That's all it does. It
just drags up all the things we're trying to move past," said Robert
Thornton, Foster's boyfriend.
But Thornton said there has been good to come from Foster's
death. Last fall, a one-month task force hit different areas of
Columbus, looking specifically for drunken drivers. Police called the
program a success. Thornton believes if the program is revived, it
will be a fitting tribute to Foster.
"They had 75 DUI arrests between three officers in that time,"

Thornton said. "That would be the ultimate way to honor her
memory."
The re-sentencing of Harper did not lead to any less time in prison.
He will serve 13 years for Foster's killing.
*end*
No tears of sympathy if a civilian drives drunk though, right? Let's

see if this dimwitted, good-for-nothing, mooching porker (from the
original article) is sentenced to serious time.

Interesting. They ticket the driver who was hit by the drunk cop
with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Sounds like he
had the right of way because the cop ran a stop sign. So how can a
person be expected to slow down to avoid an accident?

State police said the assistant police chief of Oglesby was drunk
when his pickup collided with a car during the weekend, killing a
woman.
Russell D. Lemmer, 45, of 231 E. Second St., Oglesby was

charged with driving under the influence and failure to yield at a
stop intersection. Lemmer has been an Oglesby Police officer 22
years, serving as assistant police chief the past nine years. He had
most recently worked the midnight shift.
Lemmer was driving a 1976 K10 pickup about 10:30 p.m. Saturday
near Route 251 and North 23rd Road, about two miles south of
Oglesby, when the pickup collided with a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
driven by 33-year-old Corey L. Baldwin of Oglesby.
A passenger in Baldwin's car, 34-year-old Susan I. Baldwin, of the

same address as Corey, was killed.
Lemmer was not hurt and Corey Baldwin was treated and released
at Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru.

State Police said Lemmer was wearing a seat belt, but the Baldwins
were not.
Corey Baldwin was cited on a charge of failure to reduce speed to

avoid an accident.
Further information, such as what road on which each vehicle was

driving and their directions, was not available today, with police
saying the crash is under investigation. The intersection near the
accident is a four-way stop.
La Salle County State's Attorney Joseph P. Hettel could not be

reached this morning to determine whether the charge against
Lemmer will be upgraded.
Oglesby Police Chief Tom Martin said Lemmer was suspended

Monday with pay until more facts are gathered to make a further
determination as to Lemmer's job status.
Martin also said Lemmer has been an "excellent" officer with an

unblemished record, having served in the Army National Guard.
Lemmer is married with two children.
The Baldwins had recently moved from Granville.

Asst. Chief At Party Before Fatal Crash

Location:
Posts: 931
The assistant police chief of Oglesby, who is charged in connection
with a fatal traffic crash earlier this month, had just left a private
party attended by other officers before the collision.
The assistant chief, Russell D. Lemmer, 45, is charged with driving

under the influence and failure to yield at a stop intersection. He is
on paid leave from the department pending investigation.
The driver of the other vehicle, Corey L. Baldwin, 33, of Oglesby, is

charged with driving under the influence and failure to reduce
speed to avoid an accident. Baldwin's wife, 34-year-old Susan I.
Baldwin, who was a passenger, was killed. Corey Baldwin and
Lemmer were hurt.
The crash occurred at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday, June 10, at the
intersection of Route 251 and North 23rd Road in Eden Township,
two miles southwest of Oglesby. Some rain had fallen that night.
State police have not released details about how the crash
occurred, saying an accident reconstructionist is investigating.
However, Oglesby Police Chief Tom Martin said he was told Lemmer
had just turned north onto Route 251 from N. 23rd Road, when the
Baldwin car, also northbound on Route 251, struck the rear of
Lemmer's pickup.
Martin also said Lemmer had just left a party a few miles east of
the accident scene near a part of the Vermilion River known as
Bailey Falls. Several off-duty Oglesby police officers and firefighters,
as well as other people, were at the gathering, which Martin said he
believed had begun during the day.
The party, which has been held annually for several years, was
undertaken with permission from the owners of the property, Buzzi-
Unicem USA, also known as Lonestar Industries, according to
Martin.
Martin stressed the party was a private affair and not sponsored or
supported by the city or any governmental agency.
Lemmer and a second officer, driving separate vehicles with

the officer behind Lemmer's pickup, were the last people to
leave the party.
Being that state police charged Lemmer with driving drunk,

Martin said he is concerned the second officer -- presumably,
as an officer, adept at detecting drunken drivers -- might
have allowed Lemmer to drive drunk from the party. Martin
said he is investigating this matter and disciplinary action
could be taken against the second officer who remains on

duty.
The second officer saw the crash and phoned Oglesby emergency
dispatchers, telling them to send ambulances and state police.
An Oglesby police sergeant and a patrolman responded to the

scene, along with ambulances and fire trucks, but Oglesby police
gave way once state police arrived and took control.
State police would have taken control of the investigation even if

the crash had occurred within the Oglesby city limits, because it's
standard practice for them to investigate accidents or criminal cases
involving police officers from other agencies.
The second officer also gave a statement about the crash to state
police.
Sue Zielinski, Oglesby's Commissioner of Police, Fire and

Ambulance, said Thursday she doesn't fear the city is at risk for a
lawsuit from the crash, because there was no connection between
the party and the city, other than that Lemmer is employed by the
city.
Mayor Jerry Scott agreed with Zielinski, saying city officials

discussed whether the city could be liable, but determined it wasn't
likely.
Lemmer and Baldwin are set for hearings on their charges Aug. 4
before Associate Judge William Balestri. La Salle County State's
Attorney Joseph P. Hettel has said the misdemeanor DUI charge
against each man could be upgraded to felony aggravated DUI,
pending the outcome of the crash investigation.
Aggravated DUI can be punished by as many as seven years in

prison, fine and probation. If certain factors are present, the
sentencing range can be extended to 14 years in prison.
Lemmer has been an Oglesby officer for 22 years.

The newspaper article is only a starting point for investigating the

matter. We all know that reporters often get their facts wrong
because they don't fully investigate their stories before writing
them. Journalism is all about sensationalism now, and Edward R.
Murrow would be rolling over in his grave. One could request a copy
of the police report through the freedom of information act.
Sounds like you work for the Oglesby police department. Post a

From the article:
quote:
The assistant chief, Russell D. Lemmer, 45, is charged

with driving under the influence and failure to yield at a
stop intersection. He is on paid leave from the
department pending investigation.
The driver of the other vehicle, Corey L. Baldwin, 33, of

Oglesby, is charged with driving under the influence
and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
Baldwin's wife, 34-year-old Susan I. Baldwin, who was
a passenger, was killed. Corey Baldwin and Lemmer
were hurt.
The crash occurred at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday, June

10, at the intersection of Route 251 and North 23rd
Road in Eden Township, two miles southwest of
Oglesby. Some rain had fallen that night.
State police have not released details about how the

crash occurred, saying an accident reconstructionist is
investigating.
However, Oglesby Police Chief Tom Martin said he was

told Lemmer had just turned north onto Route 251
from N. 23rd Road, when the Baldwin car, also
northbound on Route 251, struck the rear of Lemmer's
pickup
Martin also said Lemmer had just left a party a few

miles east of the accident scene near a part of the
Vermilion River known as Bailey Falls. Several off-duty
Oglesby police officers and firefighters, as well as other
people, were at the gathering, which Martin said he
believed had begun during the day.
What we know is that Lemmer had been drinking all day at a party,
decided to drive home under the influence, ran a stop sign, and is
highly probable that he turned in front of the Baldwin's. I doubt that
even if Mr. Baldwin had not been drunk himself, he still would have
been able to avoid the accident had he been sober. I presume the
speed in that area is 55 mph since Route 251 is a highway. Can you
fill us in on what the highway speed is near that intersection?
quote:
Spare me your bull**** almost everyone has done it ,

just pray the next time you aren't involved in an

accident that someone who is drunker than you most
likely caused.
this will all be cleared up with the reconstruction report

Just because someone may be drunker does not mean that they

http://www.ortrucking.org/stopping.htm
At 55 mph, it takes a mid-size passenger cars traveling on a dry,
level road 60 feet to react and 165 feet to stop for a total of 225
feet. At 65 mph, the distances change to 71 feet, 245 feet, and 316
feet respectively.
The question becomes, could Mr. Baldwin even have reacted in time
to avoid the accident had he been sober?
You are correct that a reconstruction report should clear up the

matter as long as it is done by an independent agency.
We don't know how long Lemmer had been on Route 251. Did he
properly accelerate once he turned onto the highway? A lot of
people driving under the influence tend to take there sweet time
accelerating, and do not always get up to the proper road speed.

The "report" doesn't matter as anything a cop writes in his

report is most likely riddled with lies. The fact of the matter is
that the pig was involved in a fatal car accident while driving

Enough said, end of story.
In typical cop fashion he will lie and his pigpals will lie in his

Ex-Boston police officer sentenced to 18 years in drug

case

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/re...079308&srvc=rss
A federal judge has sentenced a former Boston police officer to

18 years in prison for protecting a cocaine shipment for FBI
Posts: 9967 agents posing as drug dealers.
Nelson Carrasquillo was jailed today, nearly three months

after the first of two colleagues was sentenced to a 13-year
prison term for conspiring to protect what they believed was

100 kilograms of cocaine.
The three policemen were arrested in 2006 after they went to

Miami to collect $36,000 from people they thought were drug
dealers.
They had been hired to escort a truck they believed was

carrying cocaine.
All three pleaded guilty.
U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan says the 36-year-old Carrasquillo

provided counter-surveillance services, monitored Boston Police
radio communication and helped guide a drug shipment.

Rookie Cop Faces Stiffer DWI Charges

Location:
Posts: 2330
A rookie New York City cop accused of killing a fellow officer in a
drunken driving crash in fall pleaded not guilty Monday to an
increased charge of second-degree manslaughter.
Danielle Baymack, 22, could face a maximum of 5 to 15 years in

prison if she is convicted of that crime. She had been charged with
second-degree vehicular manslaughter, which carries a maximum
of 2-1/3 to 7 years in prison.
"It's not just that she was drunk. It's not just that she was
exceeding the speed limit on an unfamiliar road. ... It's not just that
it was 4:30 in the morning, which might contribute to being sleepy

as well. It is all of those things together," said Eric Phillips,

spokesman for the Nassau district attorney's office.
Prosecutors said Baymack was driving a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant

early Sept. 22 after a night of partying when she lost control of the
vehicle on Sunrise Highway in Wantagh and crashed into a
signpost. Her passenger, Marlene Rivera, 24, of Bushwick,
Brooklyn, was crushed in the wreckage and pronounced dead a
short time later at Nassau University Medical Center in East
Meadow. In addition to manslaughter, Baymack is still charged with
vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, Phillips said.
Baymack's lawyer, Dennis Lemke of Mineola, said he's seen no

evidence yet supporting the manslaughter charge. What's more, he
said the district attorney's office has not allowed him or his experts
to look at the Mitsubishi, crime scene photos or the testimony of
their accident reconstruction expert. Prosecutors are not required to
share such evidence at this stage, but Lemke said they have
generally done so in the past. Lemke did not allow Baymack to
testify before the grand jury, in part because he said he doesn't
know what evidence prosecutors have.
"I'm not going to have her sandbagged," Lemke said.
Assistant District Attorney Maureen McCormick, who heads the

office's vehicular crimes bureau, said prosecutors don't hand over
evidence before the grand jury proceedings.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A former police officer who admitted she had
been driving while intoxicated when her car smashed into a
guardrail and killed a fellow New York Police Department rookie
officer was sentenced on Friday to a year in jail.
Danielle Baymack, 23, pleaded guilty in January to manslaughter

and other charges, and had expected to get six months in jail and
five months’ probation — a sentence that the victim’s family had
requested, court officials said.
But Judge Meryl J. Berkowitz of Nassau County Criminal Court told

Ms. Baymack on Friday that she had reconsidered the sentence,
saying that six months was not enough time. Instead she doubled
the jail time and did not grant any probation.
Ms. Baymack was given the chance to rescind her guilty plea to
take her chances at trial, but she agreed to the one-year term.
The police said that Officer Baymack, who was off duty, was driving
while intoxicated in Wantagh about 4:30 a.m. on Sept. 22, 2006,
when her vehicle left the road, hitting a guardrail and a road sign.
Her passenger, Marlene Rivera, 24, of Brooklyn, was killed.
Investigators said they believed that the two officers, who had
graduated from the New York Police Academy two months earlier,
had dropped off another rookie on Long Island after spending time
at a nightclub. Both Officer Rivera and Officer Baymack were
assigned to the 103rd Precinct in Queens. Because Officer Baymack

was still a probationary officer, she was fired by the department

after her arrest.
If convicted at trial, Ms. Baymack could have faced a prison

sentence of 5 to 15 years.
Ms. Baymack’s lawyer, Dennis Lemke, said his client accepted

responsibility and respected the way Judge Berkowitz had handled
the case.
“Her heart goes out to the family,” Mr. Lemke said. “If she could
take it back, of course she would.”
The victim’s mother left the courthouse without speaking to

reporters.

ARLINGTON - A Dallas officer was arrested early Sunday morning

after Arlington police said they received a 911 call about a drunk
driver.
Authorities said the 911 call came in at about 3:25 a.m. from a
driver traveling east on Interstate 30 at Fielder Road.
Billy Ailey, a 47-year-old Dallas Police Department officer, was

taken into custody after he was stopped on I-30 just before SH 360.
While Arlington police said Ailey refused to take a breath test, they
said they obtained a warrant for his blood, which was taken at a
local hospital.
Sunday night, Ailey bonded out on a $1,000 bond from the

Arlington Jail.
Ailey, who has been placed on administrative leave as internal

affairs at the DPD investigates the case, has been an officer for
Dallas since January 1985.

ARLINGTON -- A Dallas police officer arrested early Sunday morning

on suspicion of misdemeanor DWI in Arlington was arrested on the
same allegation in Cedar Hill in December, according to the Dallas
Police Department.
Senior Cpl. Billy Ailey was arrested about 3:30 a.m. Sunday after a
motorist notified police of a potential drunken driver eastbound on
Interstate 30 near Fielder Road, said Lt. Blake Miller, an Arlington
police spokesman. An Arlington officer arrested Ailey near I-30 and
Texas 360. Ailey declined to submit to a Breathalyzer test, so
officers obtained a search warrant for a blood sample, Miller said.
Ailey posted a $1,000 bond and was released from the Arlington Jail
on Sunday, jail officials said.

Ailey has been with the department since 1985 and is assigned to
the communications division, according to a Dallas police statement
released Sunday. He was placed on administrative leave pending an
investigation by the department's internal affairs division.
A news release issued in December, when Ailey was arrested in

Cedar Hill, said he had been assigned to the South Central Patrol
Division. That statement says he was placed on administrative
leave after the arrest. Information was unavailable Sunday about
whether he had returned to duty between the two arrests.

J. Morrissey, 35, of Morning Glow Lane in New Ellenton.
According to the sheriff's office, Mr. Morrissey bought beer from

Wal-Mart on Whiskey Road on Jan. 10 for his 18-year-old neighbor
but then called the sheriff's office later that night and reported that

the teen and several friends were using drugs and alcohol in the

Arrested were Kenneth A. Spoonemore, 18, of the 100 block of

Morning Glow Lane, on charges of simple possession of marijuana,
possession of drug paraphernalia and minor in possession of beer;
and Casey E. Busbee, 20, of the same address, on a charge of

AIKEN, S.C.---Aiken County sheriff Michael Hunt has fired a

detention center officer after an investigation in which the man was
accused of buying beer for an 18-year-old neighbor.
William Morrissey, 35, of New Ellenton has now been charged with

home.
Deputies arrested Kenneth Spoonemore, 19, for possession of beer

by a minor, possession of marijuana and possession of drug
equipment. Casey Busbee, 20, also of New Ellenton is charged with
being a minor in possession of beer.
The penalty for giving beer or wine to a person under 21 is a

misdemeanor in South Carolina. A conviction carries a $300 fine
and/or 30 days in jail.
Morrisey is out on bond. He was fired by the sheriff January 14.

CHICAGO (CBS 2) -- In what could turn into another black eye for
the Chicago Police Department, an off-duty officer was in trouble
with the law in Forest Park, following a disturbance at a local bar.
Authorities said the off-duty officer elbowed a Forest Park officer in

the face after his arrest and had to be subdued with a stun gun.
Forest Park police said they were called to a disturbance at Slainte

at 7505 Madison St. on Saturday for a report of a fight in progress.
A witness told police that an off-duty Chicago police officer was on
the second floor of the bar, intentionally breaking tables by jumping
in the air and landing on them with his back.
Authorities arrested the officer, Richard T. Schmidt, 25, and took

him to the Forest Park police station for processing.
Schmidt allegedly resisted arrest while at the station and elbowed a

Forest Park police officer in the face, leading to a physical
altercation with police. Forest Park officers then used a TASER stun
gun to subdue Schmidt.
When paramedics arrived to treat Schmidt, he allegedly spat in a

paramedic's face.
Schmidt was taken to Oak Park Hospital for treatment, where his
blood alcohol level was determined to be over the legal limit for
operating a motor vehicle.
On Sunday, Cook County prosecutors approved four felony counts

of aggravated battery against and one misdemeanor count of

criminal damage to property for the fight with police and the initial
disturbance at Slainte.
He was charged with four counts of aggravated battery, two counts

of aggravated battery of a police officer and two counts of
aggravated battery to paramedics.
The Chicago Police Department said Schmidt was relieved of his

duties.
Before details of the altercation were made public, Chicago Police

Supt. Jody Weis said, "Police officers are expected to conduct
themselves professionally, both on and off duty. The Chicago Police
Department has zero tolerance for any officer who violates the
professional integrity of this department, and we are committed to
ensuring that officers perform their duties honorably. Those who do
not will be identified, charged and removed."
Chicago police officials were not immediately available for a

response to the specific details of the altercation.

CHICAGO — An off-duty Chicago police officer appeared in court

Monday to face charges after he allegedly broke tables in a
suburban bar, elbowed a police officer and spat on a paramedic.
Richard Schmidt, 25, appeared in court on four counts of

aggravated battery and damage to property. A judge set his bond
at $10,000.
Schmidt was jumping on tables and breaking them at an Irish pub

in Forest Park, Ill., police say. When told he would have to pay for
the damages, a scuffle ensued and police were called in to assist.
Police were forced to taser Schmidt to get him under control, police
say. His alcohol limit was three times the legal limit, officials say.
“We don’t have any tolerance whether they are law enforcement
professional or not for people coming into our community and
behaving in inappropriate ways," said Michael Sartino, a spokesman
for the Forest Park Village Administration.
The police superintendent relieved him of his duties.
Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said in a statement, "The

Chicago Police Department has zero tolerance for any officer who
violates the professional integrity of this department."

A off-duty Chicago police officer who was detained in connection

with a bar disturbance was drunk Saturday night when he struck
two Forest Park officers and a paramedic, police in the west suburb
said Monday.
Forest Park police arrested Richard Schmidt, 25, a patrol officer in

the Englewood District, at Slainte Irish Pub after he was involved in
an altercation there and "caused some damage to the bar," said
John Gorman, a spokesman for the Cook County State's attorney's
office.
A witness told Forest Park police that Schmidt was on the second
floor of the tavern, 7505 Madison St., jumping in the air, then
landing on tables with his back and breaking them, said Forest Park
Deputy Chief Thomas Aftanas.
Officers took him to the Forest Park police station, where he

became combative and struck two officers, Gorman said. Schmidt
elbowed one officer in the face and attacked a sergeant, Aftanas
said. Police used a Taser on Schmidt's leg to bring him under
control, he said.
Police called paramedics for Schmidt, who was bloodied from the
altercation. Schmidt spit blood in a paramedic's face and struck
him, Gorman said. Schmidt was treated at Oak Park Hospital, where
it was determined that his blood-alcohol level exceeded .08, the
legal limit if he had been driving, Aftanas said.
Schmidt was charged with four counts of aggravated battery,

including two to an officer, and criminal damage to property, police
said. He appeared in Bond Court Monday in Maywood and was
ordered held in lieu of $10,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear
again in court Tuesday, Gorman said.
Schmidt was relieved of his police duties pending an investigation,

said Monique Bond, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Police
Department.

ZANESVILLE - Even though three Zanesville Police Department
officers have been arrested since October, Chief Eric Lambes said
he still has dedicated officers.
The latest arrest came Wednesday, when agents with the FBI and
deputies with the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office arrested 33-
year-old Donald E. Peterson. Peterson has been a patrol officer for
the past two years, Lambes said.
Along with Peterson, agents also arrested his wife, Serritha D.

Peterson, 29; Shelly M. Tyson, 32, Steven Gibson, 65, and Gary
Moody, 50.
All five were charged with one count of distribution of a controlled

substance and conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. The
charges revolve around morphine, Percocet and crack cocaine.
The arrests come just two months after two Zanesville police
officers and a Genesis HealthCare Systems Police officer were

arrested on federal drug charges.
Sean Beck and Trevor Fusner, former officers with the police
department, and Chad Mills, a former officer for Genesis, were
arrested Oct. 1.
Lambes said despite the arrests he stands behind the men and
women in his department.
"We have a very dedicated group of officers," Lambes said. "I still
lay claim that we will make it through this and I believe that all
persons involved in these type of actions have been rooted out of
my department."
Lambes said he became suspicious of Peterson in August and an

investigation into Peterson occurred about the same time as the
investigation into Beck and Fusner's activities.
But, Lambes did say none of Peterson's criminal activities were

conducted while on duty.
Lambes described Peterson as an officer who did not "rise and

shine."
"I don't think Peterson was the type of officer who would go above
and beyond," Lambes said. "He wasn't an outstanding officer."
Lambes expects Peterson's employment with the city will not last
long now that he has been arrested. Peterson has been placed on
unpaid administrative leave.
Lambes said he believes that all officers involved in any criminal

activity have now been arrested.
"I believe they are now all facing justice," Lambes said. "We have
good, quality officers and I have faith in each and every one of
them."
If convicted of the charges, Peterson could face up to 40 years in

prison.
Beck is currently being held in the Franklin County Jail and has a
trial scheduled in March after being indicted on six federal charges.
Beck was indicted Oct. 25 on two counts of drug trafficking in

Percocet, three counts of possession of a firearm in the commission
of a drug trafficking crime and one count of conspiracy to traffic
drugs.
If convicted, Beck faces up to 60 years in prison.
Fusner and Mills have yet to be indicted by a federal grand jury.

They were arrested on one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

Zanesville officer, his wife, 3 others accused of drug dealing

Staff Writer
ZANESVILLE - The Federal Bureau of Investigation swooped into

Zanesville early Wednesday morning and arrested a Zanesville
police officer, his wife and three other residents on two federal
charges connected to drugs.
FBI Special Agent Michael Brooks said agents with his office and the
Muskingum County Sheriff's Office arrested Donald E. Peterson, 33,
and his wife, Serritha D. Peterson, 29, at their home. Donald
Peterson has been with the Zanesville Police Department for the
past two years, according to Chief Eric Lambes.
Also arrested were Shelly M. Tyson, 32, Steven Gibson, 65, and
Gary Moody, 50.
All were charged with one count of distribution of a controlled
substance and one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled
substance.
Search warrants were executed by the FBI and sheriff's office at

four different locations in Zanesville, Brooks said.

All five appeared before a federal judge in Columbus Wednesday

afternoon and only Donald Peterson was detained at the Franklin
County Jail after the appearances, Brooks said. Tyson, Gibson,
Moody and Serritha Peterson were all released, but Brooks could
not release details of the conditions of their releases.
Col. Bryan Hoover of the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office, said

the five were arrested on charges dealing with crack cocaine,
morphine and Percocet.
Hoover said the arrests are not in connection with the October
arrests of two former Zanesville Police officers, Sean Beck and
Trevor Fusner, and former Genesis HealthCare Systems Police
officer Chad Mills.
"The investigation into the arrests today began about the same
time the investigations began surrounding Beck, Fusner and Mills,
but they aren't related," Hoover said.
Hoover said information was received regarding Peterson about two

months ago and began about the same time the October case
against the three other officers began.
"In light of the Beck case we felt it appropriate that our case be
conducted jointly with the FBI," Hoover said. "It is not an offshoot
of the Beck case and is independent."
Hoover also said none of Peterson's activities were done while

Peterson was on duty.
Police Chief Eric Lambes said Peterson's arrest does not come as a
surprise to him, his officers or the city administration.
"We're glad this investigation is concluded and we can move on,"

Lambes said. "We feel now that all those persons involved in this
activity have been rooted out of the police department."
Lambes did say he feels Peterson's position as a police officer with

his department will soon be over due to his arrest.
None of those arrested have a criminal record with either the police
department or sheriff's office, Hoover said.
Muskingum County Prosecutor Michael Haddox said his office has

already reviewed cases and none of his pending cases have
Peterson involved.
Brooks said if convicted, the five face anywhere from five years to
40 years in prison.

Peterson once worked at juvenile detention center

ZANESVILLE - A Zanesville police officer arrested on federal drug
charges Wednesday formerly worked at the Muskingum County
Juvenile Detention Center and as an auxiliary officer with the
Muskingum County Sheriff's Office, employment records show.
Donald E. Peterson, 33, who was hired by the police department on

April 8, 2005, listed the juvenile detention center on his application
for the department and stated his duties from 2003 to 2005 were
supervising juvenile offenders and "maintaining control over youth."
Peterson also stated he worked at the sheriff's office as an unpaid

auxiliary corrections officer and his duties included controlling
confined inmates, distributing commissary and mail, fingerprinting,
handcuffing and transporting prisoners to court from 2003 to 2005.
Prior to those positions, Peterson stated he worked in Indiana

building chassises for travel trailers and at one company in Indiana

building sidewalls for double-wide and single-wide manufactured

homes. He also served in the U.S. Navy.
On the application, Peterson stated he wanted to work at the police

department because "I am an honest, hardworking man trying to
gain employment in the law enforcement community."
According to his employment file at the department, several

appreciation letters were placed in Peterson's file commending his
actions during several incidents. The file also shows Peterson was
involved in an altercation at a concert at the Germain Amphitheater
on July 12, 2006. He is now in a civil lawsuit surrounding that
incident.
According to a lawsuit filed in Franklin County, Peterson along with

James Parry of the Muskingum County Juvenile Detention Center,
were at a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert and assaulted Steven Graham.
The incident was investigated by the Columbus Police Department,

but a memo in Peterson's file states that no criminal charges were
filed. The Zanesville Police Department also conducted an internal
investigation surrounding the assault.
A civil trial is scheduled in January for that case.
No one from the juvenile detention center was available for

comment.

Peterson was the only one held over in the Franklin County Jail
after the group appeared in a federal court Wednesday afternoon
and he was released Friday afternoon, according to jail records.
No further court dates have yet been set and the conditions of
Peterson's release were not available.
Chief Eric Lambes said Peterson is scheduled to have an

administrative hearing Tuesday. At the hearing Peterson is allowed
to bring witnesses or evidence in his behalf.
Lambes has said that he is expecting Peterson's employment with

the city to come to an end quickly due to his arrest.
This is not the first time in the past few months that Lambes has
lost officers to drug charges.
In October, Sean Beck and Trevor Fusner were both arrested by the
FBI along with Genesis HealthCare Systems Police officer Chad Mills.
Fusner and Mills were both charged with one count of conspiracy to
distribute cocaine. Beck was indicted Oct. 25 one six federal counts
- three counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a
drug trafficking crime, two counts of drug trafficking in Percocet and
one count of conspiracy to traffic drugs.
Beck's trial is scheduled for March and he is currently being held at

the Franklin County Jail. He was denied bond by a federal judge
earlier this month. If convicted, Beck faces up to 60 years in prison.
While Peterson's charges are not related to the previous charges on

Beck or Fusner, according to the FBI, Peterson's case initially began
due to information received while Beck was being investigated.

Peterson has worked for the police department for the past two
years and previously worked at the Muskingum County Juvenile
Detention Center and as an auxiliary officer with the Muskingum
County Sheriff's Office, his employment records show.
Peterson worked at the sheriff's office as an unpaid auxiliary

ZANESVILLE - A Zanesville police officer who was arrested last
week by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation failed to
show at his administrative hearing Tuesday morning.
Now Chief Eric Lambes will make a recommendation to the city

safety director regarding Donald E. Peterson's status as an
employee in the next couple of days.
Peterson was arrested at his home along with his wife, Serritha D.
Peterson, 29, a week ago when agents from the FBI and deputies
with the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant
at the home.
They were charged federally with one count of distribution of a
controlled substance and one count of conspiracy to distribute a
controlled substance.
Also arrested that day and charged with the same two counts were
Shelly M. Tyson, 32, Steven Gibson, 65, and Gary Moody, 50, of
Zanesville.
Peterson, who has been an officer for the city for the past two
years, was scheduled to appear before Lambes and Brandford
Tuesday morning, but Lambes said neither Peterson nor anyone
representing him bothered to show.
Last week after Peterson was arrested Lambes said he did not feel
Peterson would be employed by his office very much longer.

Mayor Butch Zwelling is holding a press conference this morning at

City Hall along with Lambes and City Law Director Bob Brandford to
discuss Peterson's arrest.
Peterson is the third officer to be arrested since Oct. 1.
Sean Beck and Trevor Fusner, both officers with the city, were
arrested that day by the FBI. Also arrested was Genesis HealthCare
Systems Police officer Chad Mills.
Beck was indicted Oct. 25 on two counts of drug trafficking in

Percocet, three counts of possession of a firearm in the commission
of a drug trafficking crime and one count of conspiracy to traffic
drugs.
If convicted, Beck faces up to 60 years in prison.
Neither Mills nor Fusner have yet been indicted by a federal grand
jury, but were arrested on one count of conspiracy to distribute
cocaine.
Beck remains in the Franklin County Jail after a federal judge

refused to allow him bond. Mills and Fusner have both been
released on bond and are under house arrest with electronic
monitoring systems.
Peterson has also been released on bond with an electronic

monitoring system while his wife, Moody, Tyson and Gibson were all
released the day of their arrests.
Lambes has said that the FBI has assured him no other officers are
involved in any drug activity. Lambes also has said that Peterson's
activity was not connected to Beck's drug activity.
Peterson faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

Mayor creates new internal affairs program for police dept.

ZANESVILLE - Calling it a "difficult time" for the city, Mayor Howard

Zwelling announced plans Wednesday to create a dedicated internal
affairs program for the Zanesville Police Department in the wake of
the arrest of a third officer on drug-related charges.
But he said he has not asked Police Chief Eric Lambes or Safety
Director Bob Brandford to resign, despite calls from residents that
both should be fired. He has however asked Donald Peterson, the
latest of the officers to be arrested, to resign.
Zwelling held a press conference to address issues surrounding the

Peterson case.
Peterson, whose been a patrolman for two years, was arrested last
week at his home along with wife, Serritha D. Peterson, 29, and
both were charged with federal counts of distribution of a controlled
substance and conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
Also arrested by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation

and the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office and charged with the
same two counts were Shelly M. Tyson, 32, Steven Gibson, 65, and
Gary Moody, 50, all of Zanesville.
Zwelling said city officials had been aware of the Peterson

investigation ever since fellow officers Sean Beck and Trevor Fusner
were arrested by FBI agents and local authorities in October.
Genesis HealthCare Systems officer Chad Mills was also arrested in
connection with the Beck case.
Beck remains in the Franklin County Jail but Fusner and Mills have
not been indicted. All three have resigned their positions.
Officials said the Beck and Peterson investigations were not

connected.
Peterson, who is on house arrest, failed to appear for an

administrative hearing with Lambes on Tuesday.

"This police department is not unlike most police departments. We

have had three rotten apples weeded out of this department. I
think that in itself is a deterrent to anyone else that might get the
crazy idea to do something as stupid as these three officers did,"
Zwelling said.
He is confident that no other Zanesville police officer is being

investigated for illegal activity, and he is resisting the numerous
calls from residents asking for Brandford, Lambes or both to resign.
Two people held signs in front of City Hall asking for Lambes to
resign, and L Wilson, founder of CASOO Safe Zone, a victims' rights
group, hand delivered letters to Zwelling and Brandford asking for
as much.
Wilson said if Lambes has not resigned by Jan. 1, members of her

group will march on the police station in protest.
But Zwelling remains behind the department.
"We have some excellent, excellent policemen. They are all hurt by
this, they are all damaged by this, their job is more difficult
because of this," Zwelling said.
He plans to take a hands-on approach to the situation, meet weekly

with Brandford and Lambes and work with them to create an
internal affairs group within the department to address future
complaints and suspicions.
Lambes said he would identify two or three of the administrators in

the department who would receive more training to handle
administrative investigations.
Currently, if a citizen complaint has been logged against an officer,

the officer's supervisor would handle the investigation. If the
complaint is of a serious nature, the internal investigation is usually
handled by Detective Sgt. Ric Roush, Lambes said.
Under the new system, Lambes would determine whether an

internal investigation is warranted and would turn the complaint
over to the internal affairs group.
Replacing and upgrading police cruisers to include computers with

GPS technology and state-of-the-art radios will also help
supervisors keep a better handle on officers' activities and
whereabouts, Zwelling said.
Lambes said he knows his officers will pull through this trying time.
"I feel really sorry for them, they are suffering down there,"
Lambes said. "We have a lot of guys out there I would easily stake
my career on."
Brandford said he is looking forward to more of a team approach

going forward.
"All of these mechanisms in place should make everyone more

confident," Brandford said.
Law Director Scott Hillis added that his office is currently reviewing
any cases handled by Peterson, as was done in the aftermath of the
arrests of Beck and Fusner.
Hillis said since Peterson was a patrol officer, most of his cases
were misdemeanor in nature.
"I would estimate the cases, if not totally, then almost totally were
misdemeanors," Hillis said.

Peterson fired; enters not guilty plea to federal charges


Posts: 31403
ZANESVILLE - A former Zanesville police officer pleaded not guilty
Friday to charges stemming from his arrest in December.
Donald Peterson, 33, pleaded not guilty one count of conspiracy to

distribute crack, five counts of selling or distributing morphine,
Oxycodone and crack, and one count of conspiracy to distribute
crack, morphine, Oxycodone and other controlled substances in a
federal court in Columbus.
The plea comes one day after the city decided to terminate

Peterson's employment with the department. He has been

employed by the ZPD for the past two years.
Public Safety Director Bob Brandford sent a memo to Peterson on

Thursday issuing his decision to fire him after a hearing was held
Dec. 27 between Brandford, Peterson and representatives with the
FOP, according to Brandford.
Brandford said he felt that even though Peterson testified that day
on his own behalf, the termination was warranted pending federal
charges that Peterson faces.
Brandford said he followed Chief of Police Eric Lambes'

recommendation late last month to terminate Peterson based on
Peterson's "committing a breach of rules and code of conduct."
Lambes cited his reasons for termination as being unbecoming

conduct, immoral conduct and absence from work.
Brandford said Peterson has the option to appeal the termination

and he expects Peterson to use that option.
Peterson was indicted by a federal grand jury late last month.
Also indicted by the grand jury and entering not guilty pleas in
connection to Peterson's case was Shelly Tyson, 32, who was
indicted on one count of selling or distributing a controlled
substance; Steven Gibson, 65, who was indicted on two counts of
distributing or selling a controlled substance and one count of
conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and Gary Moody, 50,
who was indicted on one count of conspiracy to distribute a
controlled substance.
Peterson's wife, Serritha, 29, who was indicted on two counts of

distribution of a controlled substance and one count of conspiracy
to distribute a controlled substance, is scheduled for an arraignment
hearing Wednesday.
No trial date has been set for any of the five, court records show.

Bureau of Investigation has assured him no more of his officers are
involved in any drug-related crimes.
Lambes said even though an affidavit released by the U.S.

Attorney's Office on Thursday states Donald Eugene Peterson, 33,

assured that Peterson is the last officer being investigated.
"I don't believe there are any more officers involved," Lambes said
Thursday after reading the affidavit. "I had knowledge of Peterson
being investigated and while the FBI did not get into specifics, I
have been assured no others are involved."
Peterson, who has been with the department for two years, was
arrested Wednesday along with his wife, Serritha and three others -
Shelly Tyson, 32, Steven Gibson, 65, and Gary Moody, 50.

substance.
The arrests came after two Zanesville Police officers were arrested
in October - Sean Beck and Trevor Fusner. Also arrested with Beck
and Fusner was Genesis HealthCare Systems Police officer Chad
Mills. All three have since resigned.
According to the affidavit, the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office

became aware of Peterson during the investigation into Beck.
While it is unclear if it was Beck or Fusner, the affidavit states that

one of them was recorded on Sept. 18 telling a confidential witness
that he would be getting Peterson to help in executing a "rip off" of
a kilo of cocaine.
Beck, Fusner and Mills had an elaborate plan to rip off a drug dealer
from Columbus, according to investigators. The plan never

happened.
Peterson was not available to help with the plan, the affidavit
states, but the sheriff's office had a confidential witness who told
detectives that they had purchased drugs from Peterson's wife,
Serritha, and Peterson knew it.
The confidential witness told detectives that at the end of July, they
had been at the Peterson home when Peterson arrived there and
gave prescription pills to his wife, saying he had gotten them from
someone he had stopped while on duty.
But, Lambes said he doesn't believe that Peterson got any drugs
while on duty from information he has received from the FBI.
"That is someone telling someone else that," Lambes said. "It's not
the FBI videotaping Peterson doing it and they've said they never
did see him doing anything while on duty or in uniform."
The affidavit continues to state that in August, the sheriff's office

began an investigation into Peterson and recorded a conversation
between Serritha and the witness. In the conversation, Serritha
said she would be getting cocaine the next Friday from her husband.
The witness told detectives that a few weeks prior to the

conversation, the witness was at Moody's home where the witness
saw Serritha sell Moody several 40 mg. of Oxycontin pills.
According to multiple sources from the sheriff's narcotics unit,

Moody is believed to be a local drug dealer, the affidavit stated.
Serritha is said to have told the witness that her husband got the
pills from someone at work.
On Sept. 19, the witness bought two tablets of morphine from

Serritha with her children present, the affidavit stated. The
purchase was made at a former residence at 3390 Dillon Acres
Drive and the witness said they had made several other drug
transactions at the home.
Two days later Serritha called the witness and said she had 60
Dilaudid pills to sell for $5 a piece. She told the witness that the
pills had again come from her husband. And while the witness had
made Peterson "nervous," the affidavit stated, now that a
transaction had occurred without any problems, Peterson would get
more pills and methamphetamine for the witness.
On Oct. 19, Serritha again contacted the witness and said she and
her husband were planning on getting two "eight balls" of
methamphetamine for the witness to buy and that Donald Peterson
would be the one getting the drugs.
A few hours later, Serritha drove the witness to a location on

Maysville Pike and said she had purchased Vicodin pills from Moody.
She then drove the witness to the witness's apartment where she

took the four Vicodin pills she had purchased, crushed them and
snorted a Morphine pill.
The same day, Serritha told the witness that her husband and
another person "from work" were going to "figure out where they
could get the methamphetamine to sell" to the witness.
On Oct. 22, the witness said Serritha said to be careful coming to

their home because she did not want anyone to know of the drug
deals.
Two days later, Donald Peterson told the witness he felt he was
being watched and he would arrange for the witness to purchase
crack cocaine from another person. Peterson then advised the
witness to call Tyson.
On Oct. 25, several phone calls between Tyson and the witness
were recorded by the FBI and Peterson's name was mentioned and
Tyson advised the witness that she could get two eight-balls of
crack cocaine for $150 a piece.
The next day, Tyson met with the witness at her home at 80
Shawnee Ave., where the witness bought 2.2 grams of rock cocaine
from her paying $220.
On Oct. 28, the witness said Serritha went to the witness's

apartment and gave the witness six Dilaudid pills to sell. Serritha is
also said to have told the witness that her husband knew the
witness purchased the crack from Tyson a few days earlier.
By the next week, Peterson was text messaging the witness stating
he did not want his wife to know they were talking to each other.
Peterson told the witness he was getting Vicodin and that he and
his wife had been looking for drugs to sell, but couldn't find any.
Peterson also told the witness that if he could trust the witness and
the witness "took their drug dealings seriously," they could make
$1,000. Then Peterson asked the witness if it was easier to sell
powder, hard or methamphetamine.
Peterson told the witness he was getting a "shipment" of cocaine on

Nov. 13 and asked the witness if they could "cook" the cocaine into
crack. Peterson also told the witness that they had to be careful
because "he is a cop."
Peterson said he would be on duty the day he got the cocaine and
they would have to be "extra" careful because he would be in his
car.
In some of the discussions with the witness, Peterson said he

wanted the witness to have the witness's dealer bring a lot of drugs
and Peterson would stop him and take the drugs. Peterson said it
would be better for him if the witness bought all the drugs since it

would reduce the chance of Peterson getting caught, but he added

that he "didn't think anyone would think he was a bad cop."
By the middle of November, Peterson told the witness that he would

be getting 25 grams of cocaine for $1,120. But the plans kept
changing although Peterson told the witness that he had deals
going "on clear up until Christmas."
At the end of November, Peterson contacted the witness and said to

contact Gibson, "an associate," to purchase crack cocaine. Once
contacted, Gibson told the witness he only had $20 worth of
cocaine. When the witness went to Gibson's home at 833 Durban
Drive, the witness said he purchased eight baggies of crack for
$160.
Peterson seemed to grow concerned by the beginning of this month

telling the witness that he would not have drugs to sell until the
middle of the month and to contact Gibson for any purchases.
But Peterson warned the witness to stop discussing their plans

because he was a cop and he was afraid Gibson would sell drugs to
"the wrong person and get him into trouble."
The witness was able to purchase $380 worth of crack from Gibson
on Dec. 3, the affidavit states.
On Dec. 5, Peterson text messaged the witness and arranged for

the witness to purchase $320 of crack from Gibson.
When the FBI and sheriff's office arrested the five, they also
searched their homes and cars looking for various items including
controlled substances, any packaging or devices used to transport,
take, ingest or use for controlled substances, any drug
paraphernalia, money, police uniforms, badges, name plates, collar
brass, weapons, navy blue ball caps, zip-up style jackets and
cellular telephones.
If convicted of the crimes, the five face up to 40 years in prison,

according to Special Agent Michael Brooks of the FBI.
All five appeared before a federal judge Wednesday afternoon for

their first appearances and only Donald Peterson was confined at
the Franklin County Jail.

Zanesville trafficking case

Fired police officer's drug charges dismissed

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Federal prosecutors dropped all charges yesterday against a fired

Zanesville police officer accused two months ago of federal drug
crimes.
FBI agents and local authorities arrested Donald E. Peterson, 33,

and four other people in Muskingum County on Dec. 12 on charges
of distributing crack cocaine, morphine and Percocet, a painkiller.
A federal judge dismissed the case against Peterson, his wife,

Serritha, 29, and Shelly M. Tyson, 32, Steven Gibson, 65, and Gary
Moody, 50, after the charges were dropped.
"My client has maintained his innocence from the beginning," said
David Thomas, Peterson's Columbus lawyer. "He's glad to be
vindicated."
Peterson was fired in early January after refusing to resign. Thomas

did not know whether Peterson will seek his former job or
compensation from the police department.
Fred Alverson, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Columbus office,

refused to elaborate on what brought about the dismissal of the
case.
"In any case, the investigation continues after indictment," Alverson

said. "Sometimes circumstances change during that investigation,
and the right thing to do is seek a dismissal of charges."
Alverson noted that the charges were dismissed without prejudice,

meaning they could be refiled. He would not say whether

prosecutors intend to do so.
Muskingum County Sheriff Bob Stephenson said he had been asked

by federal authorities not to comment on the dismissal of the case.
Peterson's arrest had darkened the cloud over the Zanesville

department, which was still reeling from the arrest of two other
officers on drug charges in October. Those cases are pending in
federal court.

Federal charges dropped against Ohio police officer in drug

Location: ZANESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Federal prosecutors have dropped
Posts: 31403
charges against a fired eastern Ohio police officer who had been
accused of arranging cocaine deals and helping sell prescription
drugs.
Donald Peterson, 33, was one of five people arrested by FBI agents
and local authorities on Dec. 12. A government complaint alleged
that Peterson arranged for the sale of drugs he confiscated during
traffic stops and sold while wearing his Zanesville police uniform.
The complaint also alleged that Peterson said there were other
people at the Zanesville police department who could provide him
with prescription drugs. Peterson was fired in January after he
refused to resign.

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed the case against Peterson,

his wife, Serritha Peterson, 29, and three others after prosecutors
dropped the charges.
“My client has maintained his innocence from the beginning,” said
David Thomas, Peterson’s lawyer. “He’s glad to be vindicated.”
Fred Alverson, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in

Columbus, wouldn’t say why prosecutors dropped the charges. But
he said the charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning
they could still be refiled.
Muskingum County Sheriff Bob Stephenson said federal authorities

requested that he not comment on the case’s dismissal.
The FBI has said the case was not related to that of former
Zanesville officer Sean Beck, arrested in October along with another
city officer and a police officer at a local hospital.
Authorities have said Beck conspired with a suspected drug dealer

to arrange the delivery of cocaine to Zanesville in September, and
then planned to stage a false police raid once the drug was
delivered.
The raid never happened. Beck, who resigned his police position
after his arrest, faces trial next year.
The second Zanesville police officer arrested with Beck, Trevor

Fusner, has also resigned.

A Roseville woman whose statements to investigators led to the
arrest and indictment of a former police officer will appear in U.S.
District Court in Columbus Friday after being charged with lying to
federal agents.
Amanda Darlene Novaria, 26, had an initial court appearance

Wednesday to hear that she has been charged with one count of
lying to federal agents during a local drug investigation. A public
defender was appointed to her case.
The Friday appearance is for a preliminary and bond hearing.

FBI agents arrested Novaria Tuesday. In the complaint filed against
her, the federal government alleges she knowingly made false
statements during the investigation of a former Zanesville police
officer and four other local residents.
She was acting as a confidential informant for the FBI and the
Muskingum County Sheriff's Office during the investigation.
Novaria told officials that she had information regarding former

officer Donald Peterson's involvement with distributing drugs, the
complaint stated.
Peterson, his wife, Serritha, Shelly Tyson, Gary Moody and Steven
Gibson were all arrested in December on drug charges. Peterson
was fired from the police department after he was indicted on one
count of conspiracy to distribute crack, five counts of selling or
distributing morphine, Oxycodone and crack and one count of
conspiracy to distribute crack, morphine, Oxycodone and other
controlled substances.
Charges against the five were dropped earlier this month.
The complaint states that the primary evidence against Peterson in

the distribution charge was an alleged sale of drugs to Novaria by
Peterson at a body shop in Zanesville. Text messages and phone
calls between Novaria and the others were used as the primary
evidence.
But the complaint states that Novaria had been communicating with
others -Tyson and Moody -when she told agents she was speaking
with Peterson.
Tyson told investigators she and Novaria rehearsed the calls and
Novaria asked Tyson to call the police department and advise them
she had seen a police officer sell drugs to a heavy-set, dark-haired

woman at a body shop in Zanesville.
South Zanesville Police Chief Matt Lutz arrested Novaria on a theft

charge on Jan. 25. On Feb. 6, while being held at the Guernsey
County Jail, she was interviewed by the FBI and admitted she had
not been making calls to Peterson.
Novaria also admitted to stealing cell phones from a Dollar General

store and then telling agents the text messages she was receiving
from Peterson were in fact messages she was sending to herself.
Novaria is currently being held at the Franklin County Jail in

Columbus.

A former Chicago Police officer pleaded guilty Friday to five drunken

driving charges stemming from a February crash that killed two
south suburban teens.
Jason Casper, 25, admitted he caused a three-car accident that

killed Sandburg High School students Mohammed Shuaibi, 17, of
Tinley Park, and Ahmad Shaban, 16, of Orland Park, and injured

three others, while off duty on Feb. 12.
He pleaded guilty to five felony charges of aggravated driving under

the influence, four of them related to the fatalities. The fifth
stemmed from serious injuries suffered by driver Ramzi Dar-
Hussein, Assistant State's Attorney Peter Troy said. Nine charges
were dropped in exchange for his plea.
Casper could be sentenced to from six to 28 years, and will serve at

least 85 percent of that sentence. Judge David P. Sterba will
sentence him after a hearing in December.
Looking down, Casper answered the judge's questions, "Yes, your

honor," and "No, sir." He said nothing else, as Troy recounted the
incident at 159th Street and Harlem Avenue bordering Tinley Park
and Orland Park.
Troy said Casper was alone in his Chevrolet Monte Carlo, driving
east on 159th Street at 3 a.m. when he drove through the red light
at Harlem and slammed into a Saturn making its way into the
intersection.
The Saturn and a Honda van were driving north on Harlem,

traveling under 20 mph, and had a green light, Troy said.
A crash reconstruction indicated Casper was driving about 92 mph

when he entered the intersection and began to skid, and 87 mph
when he hit the Saturn, Troy said. He also hit the van.
Free on bail
Shaban was ejected from the Saturn. Shuaibi, Dar-Hussein and

front passenger Rasim Taha had to be extricated. Two people were
pronounced dead on site. The other two remained hospitalized for
weeks.
A woman in the van, Esperanza Marzano, was treated at Palos

Community Hospital and released.
Casper also was taken to Palos Hospital for injuries, where he took
blood and urine tests. His blood alcohol content measured .176,
more than twice the state's limit, Troy said.
Casper remains free on bail. He was stripped of his police powers,

then fired in June, Chicago Police spokesman Carlos Herrera said.
He still faces a pending civil lawsuit the victims' families have filed
against him, three of the bars where he drank that night, and the
mayor and village of Orland Hills.
Neither Casper nor any of his family members would comment.
But his defense attorney, Terry Gillespie, said Casper was so sorry
that he wanted to face the criminal consequences of the crash from
the very start, even by pleading guilty before settling his sentence.

Chicago Police officer John Krass, accused of drunken driving in a

fatal
crash that killed a Chicago man, has been stripped of his badge and
assigned to administrative duty as authorities consider filing felony
charges against him.
Registered: Aug 2003 Krass, a police officer since 1999, was involved in a Sunday
Location: Big Bear Lake, San morning
Bernardino County, SoCal accident in the 2000 block of South Clark that left Juan Gonzalez,
Posts: 169 20,

dead. Police issued Krass tickets for DUI and reckless driving.
Krass' southbound Ford Lariat truck collided with Gonzalez's
northbound
1994 Nissan about 6:45 a.m. after Krass lost control and drove left
of the
center line, police said.
Gonzalez, of the 4000 block of West Addison, was pronounced dead
at the scene.
State records show Krass, 26, has a clean driving record since 1997.
Police have contacted Cook County prosecutors about the case, but
they have
not asked them to approve reckless homicide charges, said Marcy
Jensen, a
spokeswoman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.
"We were contacted but we have not officially been asked to review
felony
charges,'' Jensen said.
Police spokesman Dave Bayless said that police have not wrapped
up their
investigation and must still gather information from witnesses and
other
evidence.
"We are not finished yet. We're talking to people about what took
place,''
Bayless said. "It's a criminal investigation. It's ongoing. Every case
is
different. Our investigation will take as long as we need to get it
done."
Krass' blood was taken by medical personnel when he was brought
to
Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He was released hours after the
crash.
Bayless would not reveal Krass' blood-alcohol level, citing hospital
confidentiality laws.
Krass was assigned to the Public Housing South division.

Former Chicago Cop Sentenced For DUI Fatality

Man Gets 4 Years In Prison For Fatal Crash

UPDATED: 4:01 pm CDT July 7, 2005
CHICAGO -- A former Chicago police officer was sentenced

Thursday to four years in prison for driving drunk while off duty and
causing a 2003 crash that killed a young father.
Criminal Court Judge James Egan handed down the sentence for
John Krass, 28, who was convicted in an April bench trial of two
counts of aggravated driving under the influence in the death of
another and one count of reckless homicide.
Prosecutors said Krass had a blood-alcohol level more than double

the legal limit when his Ford F-350 pickup truck ran a red light at
Clark Street and Archer Avenue and slammed into Juan Gonzalez's
Nissan Sentra on Aug. 24, 2003.
Gonzalez, 20, was killed instantly, prosecutors said.
Dressed in a dark suit and tie, Krass stood at the defense table and
read a statement before the judge handed down the sentence,
apologizing directly to the victim's widow, Mary Gonzalez, who was
seated in the front row of the gallery.
"I want to offer my deepest and heartfelt apology for taking your
husband away from you," Krass said, his voice breaking as he read
from a piece of notebook paper. "I thought and I prayed for your
family and for you every day for the past two years."
Mary Gonzalez clutched a tissue and cried as Krass delivered his

statement.
Krass had faced a sentencing range of three to 14 years in prison,

but the judge could also have placed him on probation in lieu of a
prison term.
After the hearing, sheriff's deputies ordered Krass, who had been
free on a $125,000 bond, to remove his tie, jacket, and belt. The
defendant hugged his sobbing wife and sister before he was taken
into custody.
Krass was a four-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department's

Public Housing Section at the time of the crash. He was immediately
stripped of his police powers, and was no longer employed by the
department, police News Affairs Officer Carlos Herrera said.

Posts: 31403 A veteran Burlington police officer has resigned after confirming
that he received special treatment when he was stopped for
suspected drunk driving by a Colchester cop. It is the latest
development in a potential police scandal that had been
unconfirmed allegations until Tuesday.
For at least two weeks rumors have circulated that a Colchester

officer gave an off-duty Burlington officer a special break
unavailable to other motorists pulled over for driving under the

influence. Since then, Burlington police and Colchester police have

said only that the matter is under internal investigation in both
departments. Tuesday's resignation confirms that the rumors were
true.
Sgt. Donald Lilja has apologized for his error in judgment and
resigned after 24 years on the Burlington Police force. Lilja admits
he was stopped by a Colchester police officer for suspected DUI, but
he was not processed.
For two weeks, Colchester officials have refused to release dispatch

records that could confirm that Lilja was pulled over. They have
also refused to comment on reports that two off-duty state troopers
called 911 when they saw Lilja at the Burger King in Colchester.
Lilja and Burlington police declined on-camera comment but in a

statement Burlington Police Chief Tom Tremblay says that Lilja has
confirmed he operated a motor vehicle having consumed alcohol
and was the subject of a motor vehicle stop by Colchester Police.
He says Lilja also confirmed preliminary screening did not occur at
the time of the stop to determine if he was over the legal limit. You
can read the full police statement below.
Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan also declined an

on-camera comment, but told us he, "...commends the Burlington
Police Department on full, swift and fair investigation of this
matter..." and he awaits the results of the Colchester investigation.
Colchester Police Chief Chuck Kirker and Colchester Town Manager

Al Voegele were unavailable for comment. Chief Kirker said last
week that his department's investigation into the matter will be
finished this week.

BURLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT

STATEMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
December 18, 2007
The Burlington Police Department places significant emphasis on

ensuring that we have an effective process to investigate concerns
regarding police conduct. This investigative process is designed to
determine facts, and when necessary to hold officers accountable
for their conduct ensuring that the public trust of its police
department is maintained. While employee rights and employment
laws require that these matters remain confidential, our system
contains checks and balances including but not limited to oversight
by the Citizen Police Commission and our elected Mayor.
While it is not standard practice in the course of personnel matters

to release information, the Burlington officer that was the subject of
a motor vehicle stop by the Colchester Police Department has asked
that the following information be released. It should be noted that
this information release can only be done with the consent and

agreement of the affected Burlington employee:
Sergeant Donald Lilja has accepted responsibility and expressed his

sincere regret for his error in judgment to operate a motor vehicle
after having consumed alcohol. In the interest of ensuring the
continuity of the public trust which is so critical to policing our
community, Sergeant Lilja, a 24-year veteran with an exemplary
record of service, has opted to resign his position as a police officer.
Our investigation revealed that roadside preliminary screening did

not occur at the time of stop. That testing should have occurred to
help determine if he was over the legal limit, which would subject
him to further processing and collection of an evidentiary breath
sample.
We have been in regular communication with the Colchester Police

Department who is completing a separate investigation of the
matter. The Colchester Police Department will be concluding their
investigation soon.
We regret that this incident has caused concern for the public trust.
We are committed to policing professionally, respectfully, and
without bias or favoritism as we believe that to do otherwise is not
reflective of effective and trustworthy law enforcement practice. //
End of Statement //
Thomas R. Tremblay
Sgt. Don Lilja

The attorney for fired Burlington Police Cpl. James Brigham said
Thursday that Brigham wants his job back and had nothing to do
with the case of a colleague a Colchester officer chose not to arrest
for driving drunk in November.
"All my client is guilty of is hearing a rumor," Brigham's lawyer

William Norful said Thursday. "Everybody thinks he's the
'wheelman' because he's the one who got terminated. I don't think
Jim's been treated fairly."
Deputy Chief Walt Decker, who Norful said participated in Brigham's

firing, declined comment on the claim. "It's a personnel matter and
I am not able to comment on personnel matters," Decker said.
According to Norful, Brigham was unaware of what happened in

Colchester until four days after the Nov. 2 incident in which a
Colchester officer, identified this week as Dale Trombley, decided
not to charge Burlington Police Sgt. Donald Lilja for driving while
under the influence of alcohol.
"He heard some gossip, that's all," Norful said of Brigham. He said
he has counseled Brigham not to discuss the case publicly and was
speaking on Brigham's behalf to describe how Brigham became
drawn into the Colchester controversy.
Norful said Dec. 10 Brigham was questioned by a Burlington Police

Department panel conducting a confidential internal investigation of
the incident. Norful said Brigham's problems began when he was
slow to remember a recent conversation he had with another officer
familiar with the Colchester controversy.
"Jim was asked when he last talked to that officer, and he said,
'Last week,'" Norful said. "They asked if he was sure he hadn't
talked to him just recently, and Jim corrected himself and said, 'Oh,
yeah, I did.'"
Four days later, Norful said Brigham was asked to appear before
the panel. During the second session, Brigham was accused of
being dishonest for his failure to more quickly remember his most
recent contact with the other officer, Norful said.

"He was called a liar," Norful said. "He was told, 'You intentionally
misled us.' They told him if he lied then, how would he ever be
trusted not to lie again. Jim felt his credibility was being questioned
and he took great offense at that." Norful said Brigham used
"colorful" language to defend himself.
Dec. 29, Brigham was given the option of resigning, as Lilja had
earlier that month, Norful said. Brigham refused to resign and
asked for a meeting with then-Chief Thomas Tremblay to clear his
name, Norful said.
Jan. 4, Norful said, he and Brigham met with Tremblay and Decker.
"It was clear that a decision had already been made to fire Jim,"
Norful said. "The meeting felt like a minor formality in order to run
out the clock." Norful said Tremblay fired Brigham on Jan. 4,
Tremblay's last day as chief. Tremblay is now the state's Public
Safety Commissioner.
Tremblay declined comment on the Brigham matter.
"While employees or their attorneys may choose to speak publicly

about their own matters, employer rules prevent me from
commenting," Tremblay said. "We have trust in the appeal process,
where the matters of police accountability are tested."
Brigham and the police union are pursuing appeals of Tremblay's

decision, Norful said. Burlington Detective Ray Nails, president of
the police union, did not respond to a request for an interview.
Brigham, 37, was six years shy of qualifying for a full pension at the
time of his firing.

STATE'S ATTORNEY DISMISSED ANOTHER DUI CASE A second

drunken-driving case has been dismissed in Vermont District Court
because of the role of the investigating Colchester police officer in a
Nov. 2 traffic stop in which a Burlington officer was not cited for
driving under the influence of alcohol.
Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan said Thursday he

forgot that one of his assistant prosecutors last week asked the
court to dismiss the case of a Cambridge woman charged with
driving under the influence in October.
Donovan disclosed Wednesday that a late-November drunken-

driving case involving a Florida woman was dismissed. He said at
the time it was the first time a case had to be dismissed because of
questions about the credibility of the Colchester police officer,
identified in court papers as Officer Dale Trombley.
According to court papers, Trombley arrested the woman in the

October case after he spotted the woman's car traveling across the
center line on Interstate 89 near Exit 17. A test later showed her
blood alcohol level was at 0.157 percent, nearly twice the legal
limit. -- Sam Hemingway,

Former Burlington Police Cpl. James Brigham went before the city's
Police Commission on Tuesday, asking the four-person panel to
reverse a decision last month by then-Chief Tom Tremblay to fire
the 14-year veteran officer.
Brigham's lawyer, William Norful, has claimed Brigham was fired

because the department wrongly thought he was hiding information
during an internal investigation of a colleague whom a Colchester
officer chose not to arrest for allegedly driving drunk in November.
Brigham was not involved in the Colchester incident but was

questioned about it because he was friends with a relative of the
Colchester officer.
"All my client is guilty of is hearing a rumor," Norful said during an

interview last month. Norful said when Brigham was slow to
remember a recent conversation with the friend, also a Burlington
officer, he was accused of lying.
Before Tuesday's meeting, Norful had vowed to have Brigham's

appeal of the firing conducted in public, but changed course and
asked to have the matter taken up in private with the commission
almost as soon as the meeting began.

"It's probably more appropriate that we ... request an executive

session," Norful told the panel meeting in a conference room at the
department's North Avenue headquarters.
Norful told the commission that Brigham was the victim of

"disparate treatment" by the department and said he had evidence
to prove his claim.
The evidence, which Norful described as transcripts, contained the

names of other city police officers whose names he had decided he
did not want disclosed publicly if it would hurt Brigham's chances of
getting his job back.
Joseph McNeil, an attorney representing the police department, told

the commission he did not object to an executive session but was
also prepared to have the matter argued in public.
"He's already spoken a little about the case," McNeil said, referring
to Norful's remark about disparate treatment for Brigham.
"Obviously, there are two sides to every story and we have a side
we're going to present."
Shortly after McNeill spoke, the commission agreed to go into

executive session. Commission Chairman Jerome O'Neill told about
50 people attending the meeting, many of them Burlington police
officers, that the panel would not issue a decision in the case
Tuesday.
Brigham is one of three police officers -- two in Burlington and one

in Colchester -- who have lost their jobs in connection with a
controversy involving an off-duty officer caught driving a
department vehicle after consuming alcohol in early November.
Burlington Sgt. Donald Lilja resigned Dec. 19 and, according to a

statement released by the Burlington Police Department, admitted
he had driven the police vehicle after consuming alcohol.
Colchester Officer Dale Trombley, who handled the traffic stop

involving Lilja but did not cite Lilja for driving under the influence,
was fired last month for failing to charge Lilja, after an internal
investigation by Colchester Town Manager Al Voegele. He is
appealing his dismissal in Colchester.
Norful said Brigham was fired because he momentarily forgot to

mention a recent conversation he had had with a Burlington officer
about the Colchester incident. Burlington Police Chief Michael
Schirling has declined to comment on Norful's rendition of what led
to Brigham's firing.
Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan is conducting his

own inquiry into the Colchester incident and how it was handled.
Donovan has had three cases dismissed by the court because they
were dependent on testimony by Trombley. All three involved

drunken-driving charges.

Jim Brigham, with support from several Burlington police

officers, appears before the Burlington Police Commission on
Tuesday to appeal his dismissal from the police department.

A DUI case in Vermont District Court was dismissed today after

Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan decided against
prosecuting it because of concerns about the credibility of the police
officer who filed the paperwork.
“I decided I wouldn’t be able to prove the case without the

participation of the officer and the officer was unavailable,”
Donovan said. “It’s an issue of credibility. The integrity of the court

system must be beyond reproach.”
Donovan said the officer’s credibility was in question because he is

the subject of a lengthy police internal investigation in Colchester
for allegedly failing to cite an off-duty Burlington officercop in
November for driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Donovan declined to say who the officer was, but a check of court
records from the case that was dismissed today indicated the officer
was Colchester Police Officer Dale J. Trombley.
Attempts to contact Trombley have been unsuccessful. A Colchester

Police Department dispatcher declined comment on whether
Trombley still works for the department.
The dismissed case involved a Florida woman who Trombley

charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol on the
night of Nov. 30 on West Lakeshore Drive.
Donovan said he called both Colchester Police Chief Charles Kirker

and Town Manager Al Voegele on this morning to inform them of his
decision to dismiss the case and said they “understood his
position.” Kirker and Voegele did not respond to requests for an
interview Wednesday afternoon.
Donovan said the case was the first of a number of pending cases
that had been put on hold while awaiting the outcome of the
internal investigation in Colchester. Donovan has expressed
frustration with the slow pace of the probe, urging the town to wrap
up its review “sooner than later.”
“Work is continuing to be done in this office,” Donovan said today.

“We’re not bound by whatever their timetable is.
According to the court papers from the dismissed case, Trombley

pulled over a woman from Jupiter, Fla., on West Lakeshore Drive
after she had almost struck a mailbox and then a curb.
“I observed the vehicle traveling west travel over the clearly

marked yellow center line twice,” Trombley wrote in his affidavit.
“Both times both left side tires were in the east bound lane of
travel.”
The woman was later found to have a 0.164 blood-alcohol level and
was cited by Trombley for driving while under the influence of
alcohol, second offense.
Donovan said he asked the judge to dismiss the case “without

prejudice,” meaning the charge can be brought again if the state
later decides it has enough evidence to prosecute the matter.
The dismissal of the case is the latest fallout from the November
incident involving the off-duty Burlington officercop.
In December, Donovan asked both the Colchester and Burlington

police departments to conductdo internal investigations into the

incident. Burlington’s probe resulted in the resignation of Sgt.
Donald Lilja, who acknowledged he driven a vehicle after consuming
alcohol.
Richard Paquette, chairman of the Colchester Selectboard, said

Wednesday he hopes his town’s internal police probe is finished
soon. He said he had not been made aware of the name of the
officer being investigated.
“I’ll be glad when this is over,” Paquette said. “I don’t know when
the town manager is going to make his decision.” The selectboard
acts as the appeals board for personnel decisions made by Voegele,
the town manager.

COLCHESTER -- Now that Colchester has fired a town police officer

who allegedly failed to charge an off-duty Burlington police officer
with drunken driving, the town must grapple with fallout from an
extended investigation into the incident.
Colchester officials announced Friday evening they had fired Dale

Trombley, the officer involved in the Nov. 2 traffic stop on U.S. 2
near Interstate 89, Exit 16.
Al Voegele, Colchester's town manager, said the investigation took

time because he wanted to ensure the job was conducted carefully.
As the case dragged on over two months, Chittenden County

State's Attorney T.J. Donovan dismissed, at least temporarily, two
Colchester drunken-driving cases. Two Burlington police officials
lost their jobs. The case set off a confrontation at a Colchester
Selectboard meeting and began to lead to calls by at least one
selectboard member to look into the operations of the police
department.
The incident could have statewide implications. Vermont Police

Academy Director R.J. Elrick said a scandal involving a particular
police department can erode public confidence in law enforcement
elsewhere, though he stressed he has no knowledge of the
Colchester investigation beyond what has appeared in the media.
"It only takes a little bit to breach that confidence, and it takes a lot
to rebuild that trust. What one officer might do in one part of the
state ripples across the state, hence the importance of making sure
the officers stay in tune with the ethical standards of the
profession," Elrick said.
Donovan said Friday the incident does not diminish his view that
police in Chittenden County are highly dedicated, ethical
professionals.
In the November incident, Trombley reportedly stopped Burlington

Police Sgt. Donald Lilja on suspicion of drunken driving. Lilja, off-
duty and driving an unmarked Burlington Police Department
vehicle, was not screened for alcohol and was not cited for driving
while intoxicated.
Lilja later resigned from the Burlington Policeforce after

acknowledging he had driven a vehicle after consuming alcohol.
Donovan on Dec. 10 asked Burlington and Colchester to submit to

him reports on officers' conduct surrounding the incident.
Burlington completed its review within dayslast month, but
Colchester's investigation continued until Friday.
Donovan said he will now investigate whether a crime was

committed.
The allegations about the incident have inspired little public outcry.
One Colchester selectboard member, Brian O'Neil, a sometimes
critic of the police department, said several people have approached
him with concerns about the police department, but other
selectboard members said few people have raised the issue with
them.
One barometer of the town's public mood is the editorial page of

the weekly Colchester Sun, which blooms with fiery letters from
residents when controversy erupts. Last week, the paper had no
letters regarding the police issue.
"It's going to take a little time. I'm willing to wait and let the town
work things out," Colchester resident Dave Bailey said as he
stopped by the town post office Friday morning, before news of the
firing surfaced. "I don't think we have to worry about it being swept
under the rug."
Effects
The case has already had far-reaching effects:
In addition to Lilja, a second Burlington police official lost his job.

Cpl. James Brigham was fired, but is fighting to get his job back. A
lawyer for Brigham said the officercorporal was slow to remember
whether he talked to another officer familiar with the Colchester
incident. Brigham's superiors in Burlington have declined to discuss
the matter, citing privacy concerns.
Donovan suspended prosecution of all criminal cases in which

Trombley is the lead witness. He dismissed two cases involving
Trombley -- one being thatof a woman allegedly driving on West
Lakeshore Road with a blood alcohol content of 0.164 and another
involving a woman allegedly driving with a blood alcohol content of
0.157. Donovan said he would soon decide whether to dismiss other
cases in which Trombley was the lead investigator.
Trombley lost a job that, according to Colchester Chief Financial

Officer Joan Boehm, paid a $41,767 annual salary.
The case has raised tension in Colchester's government. When

Selectboard member Brian O'Neil questioned Colchester Town
Manager Al Voegele about the speed of the investigation at a
Tuesday Selectboard meeting, Voegele angrily defended his actions,
saying he was acting methodically and ensuring everyone involved
received due process.

O'Neil said he was frustrated because the Colchester investigation

continued long after Burlington's was completed. He worried the
delay would harm the town's image.
At the meeting, Voegele raised his voice as he answered O'Neil:

"I'm doing everything to expedite this issue, but not at the expense
of or the cost of the town's reputation or the police officer's
reputation," he said. "We will do everything to assure the public
when we have the ability to do so."
Voegele and Colchester Police Chief Charles Kirker ledare leading

the internal investigation and have intentionally kept members of
the Colchester Selectboard in the dark about the details. That's
because if Trombley appeals Voegele's decision to fire him, the
Selectboard will hear that appeal. Voegele doesn't want to taint the
objectivityfairness of the Selectboard if it does participates in the
appeal, Selectboard member Marc Landry said.
Landry said it is frustrating that the questions over the police

department are playing out over such a long period of time. "It
would have been nice to have it done in Week One1, but we just
have to trust the people we hired to do their job, and that means
the town manager and the town police chief and the attorneys,"
Landry said.
After the investigation

O'Neil said after the internal investigation ends, he wants to revive
his proposal for a police commission in Colchester.
"I think it would avoid events like this one that just happened.
They're kind of operating in their own little fiefdom," he said.
A civilian board would help set a tone for the department, but would
not become involved in day-to-day police operations, O'Neil said.
Landry said he is willing to talk about operations in the police

department, but is skeptical of O'Neil's commission idea.
Colchester's town charter does not allow for a strong commission.
Also, Landry said it's already difficult to convince people to
volunteer for town boards and he'd hate to settle for someone who
has an unfair agenda against the police department.
The fact that at least one drunken-driving prosecution Trombley

investigated was dismissed worries Colchester resident Josie
LaMountain. She questions why the case couldn't be prosecuted,
given that there was a blood alcohol measurement. And She is
disturbed that an officer might have enforced the law differently
with a colleague than he would have with someone who wasn't in
law enforcement.
"I think you have got to prioritize some things. One of the priorities
is to enforce the law as written," LaMountain said.

LaMountain raised questions about the length of the investigation.
"It also makes you wonder what else has been pushed under the
table," she said.
Still,LaMountain saidemphasized she still has faith in the police

department. They respond well to calls and complaints, she said,
and they follow up.
"I'm not trying to slam the whole department here," LaMountain

said.
It's hard for a police department to establish blanket rules covering

all ethical questions, Elrick said. Each department is different, and
each situation is different, he said.
"There are no statewide protocols, policies or directives," he said.

However, police departments should try to have ethical polices that
are as clear as possible, he said.
At the Vermont Police Academy, ethical situations are discussed

extensively in classes, and the public tends to demand police
officers remain beyond reproach, more so than people in other
professions.
"The law enforcement officer lives in a bubble, on and off duty,"

Elrick said.

Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan said Wednesday

he will not file criminal charges in the case of a Colchester police
officer who failed to arrest an off-duty Burlington officer suspected
of drunken driving on Nov. 2.
"There was insufficient reliable, admissible evidence to prove

driving while under the influence or neglect of duty beyond a
reasonable doubt," Donovan said in a statement.
Donovan said his decision was based on the fact that neither officer
was willing to be interviewed by his office about the incident and he
had to rely on information gleaned from confidential internal
investigations conducted by the Burlington and Colchester police
departments.

"A police department may compel its employees to testify in an

internal investigation," Donovan said. "The state has no such right.
To attempt to do so would violate one's right against self-
incrimination. Statements given during an internal investigation
cannot be used as a springboard for a criminal investigation."
Both officers involved in the traffic stop have lost their jobs because
of their conduct Nov. 2.
Burlington Sgt. Donald Lilja, a 24-year veteran officer, resigned in

December after admitting he drove after consuming alcohol.
Colchester officer Dale Trombley was fired in January by the town
of Colchester and has decided not to appeal his dismissal.
Donovan said his office was "saddened that two careers have ended
by lapses in judgment." He called Lilja's decision to drive while
under the influence of alcohol "a serious public safety issue" but
said Trombley's conduct was "far more damaging to the public
trust."
Donovan's two-page statement Wednesday provided the most

complete account of the controversial incident to date.
According to the statement, the traffic stop was triggered by two

off-duty Vermont State Police troopers who saw a vehicle swerve in
the parking lot at a Burger King near the Exit 16 interchange on
Interstate 89 and called a police dispatcher to alert Colchester
about the situation.
Trombley was sent to the scene, saw the same vehicle drift over
the white fog line on the right side of the northbound lane of I-89
and pulled the car over. A video recorder in Trombley's cruiser then
recorded him going up to the car and questioning the driver for "a
couple of minutes," Donovan said.
"Officer Trombley walks back to his cruiser and the video is shut
off," Donovan said. "In his report to the Colchester Police
Department, officer Trombley states that the operator ... was
Donald Lilja. Officer Trombley further states that his investigation
revealed Lilja was tired and no further action was required." The car
Lilja was driving was an unmarked police department vehicle.
Donovan said in his statement that Trombley never ordered Lilja to

get out of the vehicle so that a roadside sobriety check or a
screening of Lilja for alcohol impairment could be carried out.
As a result of the incident, Donovan said the Chittenden County Law

Enforcement Executives group is working to establish a countywide
protocol for how police officers should handle a situation in which
an officer or other public official is subject to potential arrest,
citation or investigation for a criminal offense.
"The intent is to minimize potential concerns of favoritism and

therefore public concern that could erode the public's trust in law
enforcement," Donovan said.
The law enforcement group is headed by Colchester Police Chief

Charles Kirker. Kirker could not be reached for comment
Wednesday afternoon.

Editorial: No special treatment for police under law

Location:
Posts: 31403 Published: Friday, February 15, 2008
There is little question how police should handle a situation

involving other law enforcement officers or public officials subject to
arrest, citation or criminal investigation -- the same way they would
handle any other similar case.
That makes the task clear and simple for the Chittenden County
Law Enforcement Executives group working on protocols for such
situations following the failure of a Colchester police officer to arrest
an off-duty Burlington officer suspected of operating an unmarked
police vehicle under the influence.
The real question is, why does our law enforcement establishment
need a separate guideline for handling potential crimes committed

by police and public officials when we are all supposed to be equal

before the law?
Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan was absolutely

right to pursue an investigation into the Colchester case even after
the two officers involved -- Colchester officer Dale Trombley and
Burlington Sgt. Donald Lilja -- had lost their jobs. The public needs
to know that nobody, especially a police officer, is above the law.
Donovan chose to file no criminal charges because neither officer

consented to be interviewed by the prosecutor's office, as is his
right. That left Donovan with "insufficient reliable, admissible
evidence" to pursue charges of driving under the influence or
neglect of duty "beyond a reasonable doubt."
Donovan's statement about the case reveals some disturbing

details, including that Trombley turned off the video camera in his
cruiser after talking to Lilja, whom he pulled over after seeing his
car swerving on Interstate 89. Trombley reported, according to
Donovan, that "Lilja was tired and no further action was required."
Lilja later admitted to driving after consuming alcohol.
The outcome of Donovan's investigation is unfortunate because the

two police agencies involved have missed an opportunity to clear
the air. That the case lacks a final public accounting erodes the
credibility of the law enforcement agencies. All we need is for the
public to suspect that police are allowing their fellow officers to
drive around drunk without consequences.
The circumstances under which a crime was committed might

matter as a court considered punishment, but the public stature of
the accused should play no role in deciding whether to pursue the
case.
Police officers, because of their role in society, must be held to the

highest standard in matters of law enforcement. Every act that
erodes the public trust in our police erodes their effectiveness in
enforcing the law.

Commission affirms cop firing

By Sam Hemingway
The Burlington Police Commission has upheld the dismissal

of Cpl. James Brigham. Brigham was fired last month in the
aftermath of controversy involving a fellow Burlington
officer who avoided arrest in a suspected drunken-driving
incident in Colchester.
At a Feb. 5 closed-door hearing, Brigham asked the four-member

commission to reverse the Jan. 4 decision to fire him. The
commission issued its unanimous ruling in a brief statement
released Friday morning.
"Based on the evidence presented during the hearing, the

commission affirms the dismissal of James Brigham from the
department," the statement said in part.
Jerome O'Neill, chairman of the Police Commission, declined

comment on the panel's decision. O'Neill said he could not comment
because Brigham's firing was a personnel matter and the panel's
decision was based on information provided confidentially. Brigham
was a 14-year police veteran.
Brigham, through his lawyer Bill Norful, has claimed he was wrongly
fired because the Burlington Police Department thought he hid
information from investigators during a department internal
investigation of the Colchester incident.
Norful said Friday he was disappointed but not surprised by the

commission's decision.
"It was within the discretion of the commission to uphold the chief's
decision to fire Jim, but I think there was also a sufficient basis by
which they could have reversed the decision," Norful said.
Norful said Brigham will now pursue reinstatement via a binding

arbitration process in which the police union will advocate on his
behalf.

Brigham was not directly involved in the Colchester incident on the

night of Nov. 2, when a car driven by Burlington Sgt. Donald Lilja
was pulled over by Colchester officer Dale Trombley.
Lilja, who was off duty and driving an unmarked Burlington police
vehicle at the time, was not arrested. In December, he resigned his
post and admitted he had driven the vehicle after consuming
alcohol.
Norful said Brigham was asked during a Burlington Police

Department internal investigation of the Lilja case when he had last
spoken to a colleague and close friend, Burlington Cpl. Brad Trom
bley, about the Colchester incident. Brad Trombley is Dale
Trombley's brother.
Norful said Brigham recalled a conversation with Brad Trombley

several weeks earlier but forgot a more recent communication he
had with him. Under further questioning, Brigham quickly corrected
himself, Norful said, but was later accused of trying to lie to
investigators.
"He heard some gossip, that's all," Norful has said of Brigham's
connection to the Colchester case.
Dale Trombley was fired from his Colchester job last month.
Wednesday, Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan
announced he had completed a review of the incident and had
decided not to file any criminal charges in the case.

South Fayette Cop Charged After Drug Sting
(KDKA) SOUTH FAYETTE TWP Sources tell KDKA a local police

officer is facing charges after he was busted in a drug sting.
South Fayette police officer B. J. Golling, and another man, have

been charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
Investigators say it all started with a 25-pound box shipped

overnight from Las Vegas. According to court documents, the box
stood out because it was wrapped heavily in tape to hide the scent
of cocaine and the sender’s address was made up.

A drug dog hit the package and agents found four kilos of cocaine
inside. They removed most of it from the box and delivered it to a
home on Sleepy Hollow Road in Castle Shannon.
Golling, dressed in his uniform, arrived and picked up the box off of
the front steps. Monz also showed up. As they left, they were
arrested.
Court papers say the officer admitted his involvement in this. He

remains in jail and faces a detention hearing tomorrow.
The South Fayette police chief wasn’t available for comment.

Judge releases South Fayette cop facing drug charges
By Chris Togneri
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Friday, July 13, 2007
A South Fayette police officer and an Overbrook man charged with

intent and conspiracy to sell cocaine were released today after a
federal judge said they should not be considered flight risks.
Bernard J. Golling, 28, of Banksville, who has been a full-time

patrolman in South Fayette for less than two years, and Michael
Edward Monz, 28, were arrested Tuesday after Federal Drug
Enforcement Administration agents intercepted a shipment of
nearly nine pounds of cocaine that had been sent from a phony
address in Las Vegas, authorities said.
The two men "admitted their involvement in the crimes" when they
were arrested at a Mt. Lebanon house where the cocaine was
delivered, according to a criminal complaint against the men.
Golling and Monz appeared in federal court this afternoon for a

detention hearing.

House arrest for police officer, other suspect in cocaine case
Saturday, July 14, 2007

By Michael Birnbaum, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A police officer and his alleged cocaine trafficking accomplice will be

placed on home detention while awaiting trial.
Patrolman Bernard Golling of the South Fayette police and Michael

Monz were freed on $50,000 unsecured bond each. They will be
required to submit to electronic monitoring in addition to the home
detention, which allows them to leave home for work, religious
services, medical appointments and education. They will not be
allowed to possess firearms and will be required to submit to
periodic drug testing.
"I don't think either of them is a flight risk," said U.S. Magistrate
Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan.
The two appeared in federal court yesterday after being charged

this week with conspiring to distribute 4 kilograms of cocaine.
Agents tracked a package delivered to a house in Mt. Lebanon and
allege that Patrolman Golling and Mr. Monz, a boilermaker, arrived
soon after to pick it up.
When U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan asked why the two
men should have to submit to home detention at all, Assistant U.S.
Attorney Charles Eberle responded, "We're talking here, your
honor, about 4 kilograms of cocaine worth $100,000 street value.
That's a presumption for detention."
Mr. Monz's attorney, Robert Del Greco, said that Mr. Monz might
return to his job as a boilermaker as early as Monday.

PITTSBURGH -- A federal grand jury indicted a South Fayette police
officer Thursday on charges that he picked up about 4 kilos of
cocaine while in uniform.
Patrolman Bernard J. Golling, 28, appeared before a federal

magistrate in Pittsburgh on Thursday to face charges of conspiracy
and possession with intent to deliver cocaine.
Federal authorities said Golling and a companion, Michael Edward

Monz, 28, of Pittsburgh, received the package of cocaine from a
phony Las Vegas address.
FedEx alerted federal drug agents to the suspicious package on

Tuesday, and it was opened by agents after a dog sniffed out drugs
inside. The package was resealed and delivered to a house in Mount
Lebanon, where Golling and Monz picked it up that day, authorities
said.
The men acknowledged trafficking in drugs after they were

arrested, authorities said.
"I was sick to my stomach," said South Fayette Police Chief Louis
Volle. "It was a feeling I never felt before. Everybody's shocked.
Both suspects posted $50,000 bond on Friday and were released.

They are currently on house arrest.

A former South Fayette police officer pleaded guilty Thursday in
federal court to conspiring to sell nearly 9 pounds of cocaine.
Bernard J. Golling, 28, of Banksville pleaded guilty before U.

S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti. His is sentenced to be
scheduled May 23.
In July, Golling and Michael Edward Monz were nabbed by federal

drug agents who discovered a package containing 4 kilograms of
cocaine at a Federal Express facility in Robinson. The package had
been mailed from a phony address in Las Vegas to a house in Mt.
Lebanon.
The package was "heavily taped at all seams indicative of trying to

mask the scent of the narcotics," the criminal complaint states.
Golling and Monz were arrested July 10 when they went to the
Sleepy Hollow Road house to pick up the package. Golling arrived at
the house in his police uniform, according to court documents.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said the cocaine had a street value of
about $100,000.
Golling resigned from the police department the day of his arrest.
A Pitt graduate, Golling worked for the University of Pittsburgh

police before joining the South Fayette department. He worked in
South Fayette for less than two years.
Federal investigators do not believe other South Fayette officers

were involved.
In October, Monz, a boilermaker from Brookline, pleaded guilty to

conspiracy to distribute cocaine. He is scheduled to be sentenced

Feb. 15.

A Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy was charged Wednesday with
two counts of misdemeanor hit-and-run, and faces possible
drunken-driving charges as well, in connection with a weekend
accident in West Allis.
Victor E. Erato, 28, was speeding near W. Cleveland Ave. and S.

102nd St. when he struck another car and then fled the scene,
according to police records.

A West Allis Police Department accident report indicates that Erato

was impaired by alcohol. Assistant District Attorney Michael
Mahoney said prosecutors are awaiting results of Erato's blood-
alcohol tests before deciding whether more charges are warranted.
Erato, who patrolled Mitchell International Airport, has been

reassigned to the Milwaukee County Jail, according to department
spokeswoman Sherry Warichak.
According to the accident report:
Erato was driving more than 70 mph in his Ford Taurus at 2:24 a.
m. Sunday when he swerved to the right to avoid a Chevrolet
Cavalier, then hit the curb and caromed back into the Cavalier,
driven by a 27-year-old Greenfield man.
Erato did not stop. The Cavalier's driver called police on his cell
phone and followed Erato to S. 108th St. and W. Cleveland Ave.,
where he was stopped by a squad car.
The driver of the Cavalier reported a sore neck but suffered no

other injuries, according to the report.

Kentucky police officer arrested
08:33 PM EDT on Tuesday, June 26, 2007
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A central Kentucky police officer and his

girlfriend were arrested on federal drug charges Monday night after
allegedly buying the prescription painkiller Oxycontin from an
informant.
Sgt. Daniel Carr, 33, a member of the Lebanon Junction police

department, and Brenda Mudd were arrested following an
undercover operation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration

and charged with conspiracy to posses with intent to distribute.

Federal authorities claim Carr and Mudd met with a cooperating
agent three times in recent weeks, purchasing the painkiller
Oxycontin on each occasion. Carr and Mudd bought 30 pills for $20
a piece on Monday night just before their arrest. The allegedly
planned to use some of the pills themselves, then sell the rest
according to U.S. Attorney David Huber.
Carr and Mudd face up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

Carr was fired from his job with the Lebanon Police Department
following his arrest, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported on its
Web site.
“I was just stunned,” said Lebanon Junction Police Chief Darrell

Paul.
Carr spent seven years with the Audubon Park Police before taking
the job in Lebanon Junction.

Cop's drug arrest shocks fellow officers
June 26, 2007 09:24 PM EDT
By Janelle MacDonald
LEBANON JUNCTION, Ky. (WAVE) -- Two people suspected of trying

to sell prescription drugs were in court Tuesday. The twist: one of
them is a police officer. Lebanon Junction Sergeant Daniel Carr and
his girlfriend were arrested Monday night. WAVE 3 Investigator
Janelle MacDonald looks into how this arrest is affecting his
brothers in blue.
Shock and disbelief -- that was Lebanon Junction Police Chief

Darrell Paul's reaction after the arrest of Sgt. Daniel Carr.
Now the small department with only five total officers is down one
with the arrest of one of their own.
"He was a good officer," Paul said. "This is just totally, a complete

surprise, shock to me."
With word of the arrest spreading fast, Chief Paul can't find the
right words to explain how he feels. "I'm just -- I'm real saddened
by it, I really am."
Chief Paul said Carr came to his department highly recommended.

The Audubon Park Police Department, where Carr spent the last
three years, told Chief Paul they were sad to lose him. In all, he
had been an officer since 2001.
"If I had any idea that he would have been involved in this type of
activity, I would have never hired him," Paul said.
Chief Paul tells us his wife woke him up Monday night with a
request to call the DEA about a drug arrest. "I never expected it
would have been one of my officers. I just thought maybe they had
some major drug arrest go down in my town."
DEA agents say Carr and his girlfriend, Brenda Mudd, met an
informant three different times and bought Oxycontin pills with
plans to resell them.
Both have been arrested and are in federal custody. Carr is no

longer a member of the force and his former co-workers are trying
to regain the public's trust.
"I guess the biggest thing I'm saddened by is people need to have
confidence in the police," Paul said, adding: "to have an officer
involved in this type of criminal activity, it's going to be real hard on
us."
According to the affidavit filed by DEA agents to get an arrest

warrant, agents indicated Carr and Mudd both used and resold the
pills and have been doing so since January.
Agents say they have at least one of the transactions on audio and
videotape.
The affidavit says Carr admitted to selling the Oxycontin pills for
$30 to $35 each to fund his and Mudd's personal use of the drug.

himself. A Lebanon Junction Police Officer and his girlfriend are in
federal custody accused of buying Oxycontin.
It was a sting operation. Several times, agents sent an informant to

meet and sell drugs to Daniel Carr and several times, he allegedly
bought them. It's just an example of a growing problem.
Chief Darrell Paul, Lebanon Junction Police says "It just stunned
me." It's the wrong side of the law. "I figured it was maybe some
major drug bust down here in Lebanon Junction" Paul continued.

And he's not supposed to be on it. Paul says "I had no idea it would
be one of my own officers under arrest." Paul got a call in the
middle of the night. It was the DEA. "He did an excellent job while
he was here" says Paul.
Federal Agents told him, they'd just arrested Lebanon Junction

Police Sergeant Daniel Carr. Three times during a month long sting
those agents agents say: Carr and his girlfriend Brenda Mudd
bought the drug Oxycontin from an informant.
"This drug Oxycontin has really taken over the Commonwealth in a

big way" Paul says. According to federal studies, Oxycontin's one of
the most abused drugs in Kentucky. So bad the study calls the
Oxycontin problem here 'epidemic.' The problem: It's highly
addictive and easy to get.
Paul says "I'm just totally in shock over his arrest." Federal
prosecutors say Daniel Carr and Brenda Mudd were buying
Oxycontin to both take themselves and re-sell. It means a former
police officer and his girlfriend now face 20 years in prison apiece.
"It's just a tragedy not just for him, but his family. And for the
citizens of this community that he was a police officer here. It's just
a sad state of affairs that he would be involved in this type of
criminal activity" Paul said.
Since he was only a probationary officer Carr was immediately fired

from his job in Lebanon Junction. He also worked with the Audubon
Park Police where he apparently had an outstanding record.

A Lebanon Junction police sergeant has been arrested on charges

that he planned to distribute OxyContin, law-enforcement officials
said yesterday.
Sgt. Daniel Carr, 33, and his girlfriend, Brenda Mudd, 32, both of
Mount Washington, were arrested Monday night by U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration agents on charges of conspiracy to
possess with intent to distribute OxyContin pills.
The arrests came after a months-long investigation, said U.S.

Attorney David Huber of the Western Kentucky District.

Carr was immediately fired after his arrest, Chief Darrell Paul said.
Carr had been with the department since February and was still in
his one-year probationary period.
Carr and Mudd are being held in the Grayson County Jail as they
await a detention hearing in U.S. District Court at 10:30 a.m.
tomorrow, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Rich Knighten said.
Huber said that Carr and Mudd met several times with an informant
to buy OxyContin. The pair were arrested when they attempted to
buy 30 pills for $20 each, Huber said. Each pill was 40 milligrams,
Huber said.
The street value of OxyContin is $1 per milligram in the Louisville

area, Huber said.
Carr was an officer with the Audubon Park police for about seven
years. Prior to that, he was a police officer in Ohio.
If convicted, Carr and Mudd face penalties of up to 20 years in

prison, $1 million in fines or both, and no less than three years of
supervised release.
Louisville Metro Police assisted with the investigation. Assistant U.S.

Attorneys Robert Kilmartin and Daniel Kinnicutt are prosecuting the
case.
Paul said he was "very saddened" by Carr's arrest. "I was just
stunned," he said.
Lebanon Junction Mayor Butch Sweat also said he was "shocked

and upset" by the arrest.

Posted: Sept. 26, 2004
A Milwaukee police detective, recently fired from the force,

continues drawing his nearly $65,000 annual salary as he sits in the
County Jail facing 10 criminal charges, while taxpayers foot his
legal bills.

Byron Andrews, an 11-year veteran of the force, has been jailed

since Aug. 3, charged with causing injury while drunken driving,
battery, disorderly conduct and violating bail. Arrested three
different times between December and August, he is being held on
$5,000 bail.
Chief Nannette Hegerty fired Andrews on Sept. 2 for nine

department violations, including breaking Wisconsin law. She
declined to comment on the case. Andrews has appealed.
Under state law, fired police officers get paid until their appeal is
heard by a review body, which in Milwaukee typically takes 90
days, said Steven Fronk, hearing examiner for the Fire and Police
Commission.
In late January, Andrews asked for a public defender, saying he

couldn't afford an attorney. Circuit Judge Marshall Murray said he
didn't qualify for a public defender, but based on documents
provided by Andrews, found that the detective was "indigent," court
records said.
In an affidavit of indigency, Andrews said he was earning about

$2,500 every two weeks or $65,000 a year. Andrews said he was
supporting five children and his fiancee, and had debts of about
$25,000 (including a $150 monthly cable TV bill), some of which
was garnisheed from his paycheck, the document said. He said he
had been living out of his car after being evicted.
Murray appointed private attorney Dennis Thornton, who is being

paid $50 per hour by the county. Murray ordered Andrews to pay
back the county $25 per month.
Though Andrews is getting a county-funded lawyer, a Journal

Sentinel investigation in 2002 found that defendants earning as
little as $248 a month were denied state public defenders and
forced to represent themselves in serious cases because of
outdated income guidelines. It also found that Milwaukee County
often orders repayment for court-appointed defense attorneys, but
the county rarely collects it.
Murray declined to comment on Andrews' case but said he routinely

appoints county-paid attorneys for defendants who earn money but
not enough to pay a large cash retainer typically required by a
private attorney.
Thornton, Andrews' attorney, declined to comment on the case. A

woman identifying herself as Andrews' mother also declined to
comment.
Milwaukee Police Association president Bradley DeBraska said the

state law that continues pay during an appeal is intended to protect
wrongly fired police officers and their families.
Andrews, 39, joined the force in 1993.

In 1997, he was suspended for two days without pay for drinking
alcohol while armed with his police gun, the first in a series of
department rule violations, according to his personnel record.
On July 3, 1998, Andrews fatally shot a man in the neck. Andrews

said Antonio Davis, whom he wanted to question about a possible
kidnapping, was trying to drive away while holding on to Andrews'
hands, one of which held his police gun. The gun accidentally went
off, killing Davis, Andrews said.
Jurors ruled the shooting accidental but put a note on the verdict
saying they believed there had been "severe negligence on the part
of officer Byron Andrews."
The city later paid $10,000 to Davis' family to settle a lawsuit.
After the shooting, Andrews said he began suffering psychiatric

symptoms and started to abuse alcohol, according to a mental
health assessment in his court file. Andrews said he saw a mental
health professional for a 45-minute session after the 1998 shooting
