Jail Workers Charged in Assault

Eliseo Perez Jr a high-ranking New York City Department of Correction employee and nine other cops pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges stemming from an alleged assault in 2012 of a Rikers Island inmate and an attempt to cover it up.

Perez is accused of ordering cops at the jail to kick in the teeth of an inmate, Jamal Lightfoot on July 11, 2012, inside a search room in the George R. Vierno Center on Rikers Island. Six additional workers were arraigned on attempted gang assault and other assault charges.

Assistant District Attorney Lawrence Piergrossi, who is prosecuting the case. Piergrossi told Supreme Court Justice Steven L. Barrett that the alleged beating took place as Mr. Lightfoot was being turned over into the custody of Emergency Services Unit (ESU) cops to be searched following a slashing inside the jail.

“Eliseo Perez turned to Capt. Michael Pollard while pointing to inmate Jamal Lightfoot and said, ‘This guy thinks he’s tough. When you get him down to intake, I want you to kick his…teeth out,”‘ he said. The prosecutor said that Capt. Vaughn agreed, saying he wanted to see the inmate’s ‘”teeth on the floor.’”

Mr. Piergrossi then alleged that five of the defendants—Pollard, Parker, Rivera, Rodriguez and Parra, all of whom were ESU cops—repeatedly punched and kicked the inmate, including about his face and testicles, and slammed his head against the concrete floor of the pen.

Mr. Piergrossi showed the court photographs of Mr. Lightfoot before and after the incident, during which he sustained orbital fractures to each eye and nasal fractures. “This was a brutal attack on a defenseless inmate who posed no threat to the cops inside that search pen with no cameras,” he said.

Fort Lauderdale, 3 cops sued over traffic arrest

The city and three of its police cops are being sued in federal court by a man who claims he was stopped for trumped-up reasons two years ago, mainly because he was driving through the "inner city" after midnight in a Mercedes Benz.

Anthony Munden, 40, said he was forced from his car at gunpoint and handcuffed while police illegally searched his car. He was then arrested for possession of a concealed weapon after police found a gun in his car's glove box – even though Munden had a valid concealed weapons permit. Munden was forced to spend almost ten hours in custody and his concealed weapons permit was suspended because of his arrest

The police report of the June 10, 2011, incident says cops initiated the stop in the 500 block of Northwest Ninth Avenue after observing Munden drive through two stop signs without stopping. Carita, with his high beams on while Munden's car came to a rolling stop, reported he observed Munden "reach to his waistband and reveal a firearm which he placed into the glove box."

The suit claims the detectives made up their official version of the incident to hide their violation of Munden's civil rights, including constitutional guarantees to be free from unreasonable search and seizure and from excessive force.
