Salaries and benefits for two suspended Glen
Rock police officers restored

Suspended
Glen Rock Officers Bryan Scott, center, and Christopher McInerney, right.
GLEN
ROCK — Two suspended policemen have had their salaries and medical benefits
restored while they face disciplinary action for allegedly deleting photo files
from a police department computer.
Officer
Christopher McInerney confirmed Friday morning that the Glen Rock council
informed his lawyers on Thursday that he was returned to the borough’s payroll
with his benefits back in effect. Officer Bryan Scott also started receiving
pay again from Thursday on, and he and his family’s benefits are active once
more.
Both
officers received checks from the borough on Thursday. The suspensions remain
in effect, McInerney said, but with pay.
A
statement issued by the borough Friday said the council agreed to restore the
officers’ benefits and salaries “based upon the prior habit, custom and
practice of the borough.”
The
move, the statement added, in no way “questions or challenges the decision by
Chief [Fred] Stahman to file disciplinary charges against the two officers.”
Glen
Rock retroactively paid McInerney and Scott from the date of their suspensions
in late December, McInerney said.
“Overall,
Thursday was a good day” McInerney said by phone, adding he’s glad he can
support his family again.
Both
officers are accused of deleting two pictures taken during a policemen’s
retirement party in 2005 from a folder on a police department desktop. An
internal affairs investigation was initiated, but borough officials refused to
disclose its findings. Stahman made the initial decision to suspend the
officers without pay.
As
word of his move spread through social media and online forums, an estimated
500 residents and area police officers showed up at Glen Rock council’s meeting
two weeks ago. Many residents endorsed the officers’ characters and lauded the
professionalism shown by both McInerney and Scott through their work with the
community.
One
borough resident even launched a crowd-funding campaign online for the two
suspended officers that raised $12,000. And a Facebook page, launched in
support of McInerney and Scott, has netted more than 500 followers.
At
the council’s meeting on Wednesday, residents once again called on officials to
immediately reinstate both police officers’ salaries and benefits.
Mayor
John van Keuren alluded Wednesday night to a decision the council made
regarding the officers’ suspensions during a closed session that preceded this
week’s meeting, but declined to disclose the details of that decision.
Borough
officials have yet to outline the specific cases pending against McInerney and
Scott, but the officers’ lawyers say they are not criminal in nature.
Two
weeks ago, the council hired retired Superior Court judge Alexander H. Carver
III to oversee pending disciplinary hearings that have been requested by both
officers. Those hearings will likely
start sometime in February, though no date has been determined at this stage,
officials said.
Documents
show Carver will earn $350 an hour, while River Edge attorney Thomas Hanrahan
will make $175 per hour representing the borough. An associate of Hanrahan’s
firm also will make $130 an hour working for Glen Rock, documents show.
Scott
has been an officer with the department since 2005 and serves as the PBA
president. McInerney, a Glen Rock police officer since 1998, brought a lawsuit
against the borough and the department in early December, claiming he was
unjustly demoted from the rank of sergeant after years of on-the-job harassment
and retaliation.
McInerney’s
civil suit contends the officer was the subject of more than 20 internal
affairs investigations while a member of the Police Department.

Texas Cop Suspended for Eight Hours for
Mistake That Led to Years of Legal Troubles for Innocent Man, According to
Lawsuit
Ed
Krayewski|Jan. 30, 2015 10:56 am
Robert
Tidwell thought he was an innocent man when he was arrested by police in Round
Rock, Texas, on charges of indecent exposure, accused of exposing himself at a
YMCA he visited with his family.
Tidwell
maintained his innocent but police insisted they didn’t make a mistake. "I
wouldn't have called you if there was any type of mistake, because that's just
kind of silly to just randomly call people," he said during Tidwell’s interrogation. And
while the officer didn’t appear to have just randomly called Tidwell, he did in
fact make a mistake.
KEYE
TV reports:
In
an internal affairs investigation interview, the detective admitted he had made a mistake. When asked if he
intentionally put false information in the arrest affidavit he responded,
"No sir, I didn't. It was an accident. I made a mistake. I did. I just
made, I made a big mistake."
According to documents provided by the Round
Rock Police Department, the detective was found in "neglect of duty."
According to the
department documents, his discipline was an eight hour suspension without pay.
Tidwell
says his punishment dragged on for years.
"For
nearly two years, I woke up every day knowing that I was out on bail, pretty
much having that over my head," said Tidwell.
The
second arrest also happened after Tidwell filed a complaint against the police
department, but police insist opening new investigations on charges dropped by
prosecutors was standard operating procedure.
Via KEYE:
The
city stated, "Re-opening, or continuing an investigation after a
prosecutor has declined to prosecute a case pending further investigation is
not an uncommon practice in law enforcement. The fact that this happened in Mr.
Tidwell's case two months after he filed a complaint against the department is
coincidental."
Tidwell's
attorney has another take.
"Instead
of just admitting fault and moving on they doubled down on their mistakes and
ran Robert through all of this again," said Scott Medlock. "That's
what's really shocking here."
Tidwell
eventually filed a federal lawsuit. He accepted a settlement [of $110,000],
which was paid by the city's insurance and not with city funds, according to
city officials.
Tidwell’s
attorney says he hopes the settlement sent a message to police “to do tip top
work.” But the settlement doesn’t affect the police department, and an eight
hour suspension is unlikely to send much of a message at all.
Separately,
the city of Round Rock is also facing a lawsuit from a disabled veteran who
claims he was assaulted by police during a traffic stop. A police offenders
registry could be a useful tool for insurance companies to determine risk when
they cover cities for police issues.

All Charges Dropped Against White Cop Who
Shot A Black 7-Year-Old In Her Sleep
Posted
by Claire Hannum
Detroit
police officer Joseph Weekley, who shot 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones in her
sleep during a raid on her home in 2010, will not face any charges surrounding
her death. Weekley was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter (a
felony) and careless discharge of a firearm causing death (a misdemeanor) in connection to Aiyana’s
death in 2011, and his first trial in 2013 resulted in a hung jury. A retrial
began in September 2014, and Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway, who presided over the
case, eventually dropped the involuntary manslaughter charge, citing a lack of
evidence. The incident ultimately ended with
another hung jury. This morning, the case was officially dismissed in
Detroit’s Wayne County Circuit Court. Weekley will not face a third trial, and
Aiyana’s family will likely never find closure or justice for their loss.
On
the night of Aiyana’s death in 2010, police raided her home around midnight in
search of a murder suspect wanted for the shooting of a teenager on Detroit’s
east side. The police were accompanied by a camera crew filming for the A&E
show “The First 48,” which may have impacted the cops’ behavior. To distract
the the house’s residents, the cops fired a flash grenade through the front
window — a tactic that is almost never used in this type of case. Aiyana was
sleeping on a couch in the front room of the house’s first floor. The murder
suspect the cops had been searching for, who was the boyfriend of Aiyana’s
aunt, was in the apartment on the second floor of the house, but the police
were focusing on the first floor instead, perhaps mistakenly. When they finally
got to apprehending the suspect, he surrendered, but not before Aiyana got
caught in the crossfire.
This
point in the story is when, as we’ve seen play out many times in recent
history, the police’s story greatly differs from what the house’s residents and
local witnesses saw. Detroit police claim Weekley, a member of the Detroit SWAT
team, was the first one to enter the home, and that he pushed his way inside
protected by a shield. At one time, the police’s story insisted Aiyana’s
grandmother, Mertilla Jones, attempted to grab Weekley’s gun and caused it to
fire and kill the sleeping girl. The facts varied, with the department and
Weekley seemed unable to make up their mind about whether Jones actually got
her hands on the gun, simply tried to grab it, or “brushed” the gun while
running past the door.
Jones,
on the other hand, says that when the grenade came through her window, she was
on the couch away from the door, and reached for her granddaughter, not the
gun. She says she had no physical contact with Weekley. Her lawyer said the
bullet that hit Aiyana was fired from outside the house, potentially through
the front door once it was opened. Jones was arrested that night, tested for
drugs and gunpowder, and released the following day. Her fingerprints were not
found on Weekley’s gun, but for some ridiculous reason that was not considered
worthy cause to take her story more seriously.
Wayne
Country Prosecutor Kym Worthy told the Detroit News that the judge’s decision to dismiss the
felony manslaughter charge against Weekley in his retrial is “unfortunate,” as
her decision cannot legally be appealed and the remaining misdemeanor against
him is now dropped. Detroit Police Officers Association President Mark Diaz
told the News that the case’s dismissal is “great news,”
because “the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office is having a difficult time
finding the resources to prosecute murderers and rapists, so to try (Weekley)
for a third time would obviously be a waste of money they don’t have.” Hmm,
except for the part where what happened to Aiyana was arguably murder and that
not bothering to thoroughly determine who is responsible for a small child’s
death just because nobody feels like spending the money doesn’t exactly live up
to the “blind Justice” ideal that Americans are (falsely, it seems) told they
can count on.
Roland
Lawrence, chairman of the Justice for Aiyana Jones Committee, felt that
Hathaway “abused her authority by dismissing felony charges against Joe Weekley
before the jury had a chance to deliberate,” and it’s hard to disagree. When
Hathaway and lawyers were choosing the jury for Weekly’s second trial, candidates were asked
about race and the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson. The jurors
selected reportedly agreed that race was “irrelevant” in Aiyana’s case, which
is nothing short of mindblowing.
Jones
cried Wednesday as she received the news of the case’s dismissal. Ron Scott, a
spokesman for Aiyana’s family and the
Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality, says Jones “thinks the system has
failed her.” How could she not!? “She feels it’s unfair and he’s getting away
with murder and can go back to his job.” Scott intends to ask the U.S.
Department of Justice to consider federal civil rights charges against the
members of the Detroit Police Department responsible for the raid. According to
a Detroit police detective, the choice to order the SWAT team to raid the home
in the middle of the night as opposed to the less-risky morning hours was
strange (and perhaps poor) decision on the part of other department members.
Weekley
issued a statement in October at the time of the second trial, part of which
said, “There has not been one single day that has gone by since that day where
I have not thought about the loss of Aiyana and I will be haunted by this
tragedy for the rest of my life.” He’s been hanging out on paid leave from the
police department since he was first charged in March 2011. Does any of this
story sound hauntingly familiar? This unjust dynamic between police and those
they’re tasked with protecting is playing out every day all over the US, and
it’s hard not to feel more and more desperate and frustrated as it continues to
happen. How many more children have to die before white men are held
accountable for their actions? In a statement, Scott said, “This episode, given
what is happening nationally in terms of police-community relations, sets us
back decades. We will continue the fight for justice for Aiyana … since she is
not here to fight for herself.”

CHP Officer Pleads No Contest in Nude Photo
Scandal, Must Speak to Community
By
Shawn Murphy and Lisa Fernandez
California
Highway Patrol officer Sean Harrington pleaded no contest Tuesday to two felony
counts of secretly copying and sharing explicit photos of female DUI suspects,
and agreed to speak at community forums to tell everyone what he did.
(Published Tuesday, Jan 27, 2015)
A former California Highway Patrol officer
who secretly sent himself and his colleagues nude photos of arrested women from
their cell phones will spend three years on probation but will be spared jail
time.
Sean
Harrington, 35, pleaded no contest Tuesday morning to two felony charges of
unauthorized access to a computer and copying computer data for secretly
sending himself the photos of DUI suspects.
His
plea deal means he'll avoid jail time but will receive three years of formal
felony probation and a 180-day suspended jail sentence. He must also speak at a
community violence solutions class to tell everyone what he did, prosecutor
Barry Grove said.
If
Harrington had gone to trial, he could have faced up to three years and eight
months in prison if convicted on all counts, Grove said.

Officer charged with assault, disorderly
conduct, civil rights violation.
SENT HOME ON PAID VACATION
YELLOW
SPRINGS, Ohio (AP) —A police sergeant in southwest Ohio has been charged with
assault after officials say she used physical force to remove a camera from a
resident who was taping police activity.
WHIO-TV
and the Dayton Daily News report police in the village of Yellow Springs were
obtaining license plate information while serving an eviction notice when a
woman came outside and questioned them.
Officials
say the woman then began filming the officers' actions, and Sgt. Naomi Penrod
reportedly twisted the wrists of the woman and removed her camera.
Penrod
is charged with misdemeanor counts of assault, interfering with civil rights
and disorderly conduct. She will be placed on administrative leave with pay until the case is
resolved.

No retrial for Detroit officer who killed
7-year-old, prosecutor says
In
2013 and 2014, juries could not reach a decision on charges against Detroit
Police Officer Joseph Weekley, who shot and killed a 7-year-old girl during a
2010 raid. (Associated Press)
By
James Queally
After
two mistrials, Detroit police officer who shot and killed a 7-year-old won't be
retried
Prosecutors
will not seek to retry a Detroit police officer who accidentally shot and
killed a 7-year-old girl during a 2010 raid, ending a years-long legal battle
that has featured two mistrials.
In
a statement issued Wednesday, Wayne County prosecutor Kym L. Worthy said she
had informed relatives of Aiyana Stanley-Jones that she would not seek a third
trial for Officer Joseph Weekley, who has been accused of involuntary
manslaughter and reckless use of his firearm.
As
soon as they came in, their guns were just pointing right there, and he pulled
the trigger.- Mertilla Jones, describing police on the day of her
granddaughter's fatal shooting
Worthy
blamed the decision on an October ruling by Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway, who
dismissed the manslaughter charge against Weekley during the 2014 trial. She
declared a mistrial days later when a Wayne County jury deadlocked: Seven of
the 12 members voted to acquit Weekley of the reckless discharge offense, the
only remaining charge on the indictment.
Weekley
was first prosecuted in 2013, but a jury could not reach a verdict in that
trial either. Worthy said her office would move to dismiss all charges Friday.
Aiyana
was killed in May 2010 when Weekley and several other officers raided a Detroit
home. Weekley has said his gun accidentally discharged when the victim's
grandmother, Mertilla Jones, reached for it.
Jones
has contended that the fatal shot was fired only seconds after officers lobbed
a stun grenade at the property and breached the home.
Aiyana,
who was leaning on the armrest of a couch, was shot once in the head.
During
the 2013 trial, neighbors said they warned the police that there were children
inside the home.

Cops get away with killing child
DETROIT
— A Detroit grandmother testified Monday that she could only watch in terror as
masked police officers with guns drawn stormed her home in a hunt for a murder
suspect that led to the fatal shooting of her 7-year-old granddaughter. (
Associated Press )
"As
soon as they came in, their guns were just pointing right there, and he pulled
the trigger,” Jones said at the first trial. “I seen the light leave out of her
eyes and the blood started gushing out her mouth and she was dead.”
Weekley
has remained on administrative leave since the incident, according to Sgt. Mike
Woody, a Detroit police spokesman.
At
the time of the shooting, Weekley was a member of the department's Special
Response Team. Woody declined to comment on his future with the department.

Green Bay officer suspended day without pay
for crash
Nathan Phelps, Press-Gazette Media 3:29 p.m.
CST January 29, 2015
A
Green Bay police officer was suspended for a day without pay after a collision
between two police cruisers late last summer.
Officer
Zachary Koch was given the one-day suspension without pay following a police
investigation into a Sept. 23 rear-end collision of two squad cars and sent
Koch and other officer, John LaValley, to the hospital for treatment of
injuries.
The
crash occurred on the Mason Street Bridge around 3 p.m. when Koch and other
officers were responding to a report of a moped crash involving a person with a
head injury.
Koch
struck LaValley's squad from behind as the two vehicles traveled west on the
bridge through traffic. Loss of the vehicles and equipment was about $50,000,
according to police.
An
investigation into the crash found Koch — who was dispatched to a theft call
before opting to respond to the moped accident — violated five policies related
to safe operation of an emergency vehicle, communication procedures and obeying
orders, according to police documents in the case.
As
part of the investigation, Koch must must spend four hours of duty time in
training "related to building your capacity with defensive driving and
emergency driving in traffic," according to police documents obtained by
Press-Gazette Media through a records request to the city.
Future
misconduct may result in discipline, including the possibility of termination,
police told Koch.
Green
Bay Police Department Lt. Chad Ramos said the well being of citizens and
officers is a foremost concern and the department is thankful there were no
serious injuries in the crash.
"The
conduct of our officers is of our utmost concern and we look at these
situations very closely ... and we want to make sure our officers are working
to the high degree of standards we expect of them," he said. "When we
see areas of concern, or misconduct if you will, we're going to deal with it
accordingly."
