Officer Michael Terrell Arrested for Domestic Violence



Milwaukee police arrested a 15-year officer of the department on allegations of battery-domestic violence and resisting an officer, a police spokesman said.

Officer Michael Terrell, 46, was arrested Feb. 8, and the Milwaukee County district attorney's office is reviewing the case, Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said.

The incident also is being investigated by the department's internal affairs division. Terrell is assigned to the Office of Community Outreach and Education and is currently on full suspension.

Attempts to reach Terrell were not successful. He has not been charged.

A Journal Sentinel investigation published in 2011 found that at least 16 officers on the force at that time had been disciplined after internal investigators concluded they had committed acts of domestic violence. Several other officers with domestic violence restraining orders were not disciplined, the investigation found.

Domestic violence is far more common among the families of police officers than among the rest of the population, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Center for Women and Policing. At least 40% of police families are affected by domestic violence, as opposed to an estimated 10% in other households.

Officer Megan Laffoon Arrested for DUI

A Kansas City Missouri Police Officer was arrested early Wednesday morning for driving under the influence.

According authorities, KCPD Officer Megan Laffoon, 29, was pulled over in Clay County by a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper around 3:20 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Sheriff’s deputies say Laffoon was swerving out of her lane traveling up the curb that separates northbound from southbound traffic.
 
Missouri Highway Patrol troopers allege that Laffoon failed a series of field sobriety tests and assaulted a trooper and resisted arrest. She now faces four counts, including DUI, lane violation, assault of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.

According to the probable cause statement, Laffoon scratched the arresting officer on the neck with her fingernails and head-butted another officer as they tried to place her under arrest.

The MHP said Laffoon was so belligerent, they called Kansas City, Mo. police for assistance in arresting one of their own.

When she was taken to the Clay County Detention Center, it took seven officers to place Laffoon in a restraint chair, according to the probable cause statement.

The statement reads:
“Laffoon began to fight all the attempts I made to gain control of her. During the struggle, Laffoon scratched the right side of my neck with her fingernails.”

Laffoon has been suspended without pay and will remain on suspension until the case is resolved.

Officer Thomas Walker's Court Postponed After New Charges Filed

A South Fayette Township police officer accused of DUI after crashing into two Bridgeville police cars was in court on Thursday.

However, the hearing for Thomas Walker, 38, was postponed after prosecutors entered seven new charges in the case.

Investigators said Walker -- who was off duty at the time of the Dec. 18 crash -- was drunk when he slammed into two police cars that were blocking off Millers Run Road in Cecil Township.

Police suspected Walker was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, and the criminal complaint states that he refused a blood-alcohol test.

The two officers were taken to the hospital after the crash with non-life threatening injuries. One of them -- Sgt. Gary James -- will be off work for 12 weeks.

After the crash, police said they placed Walker in a police cruiser but he was spotted walking away. Police said they yelled for him to stop and arrested him when he continued walking.

At Thursday's hearing, Walker's attorney, Noah Geary, said that they didn't know more charges would be filed. Geary said that District Judge Valarie Costanzo granted a postponement for that reason.

The new charges include reckless driving, careless driving, resisting arrest, escape, recklessly endangering another person and fleeing the scene of an accident, Geary said.

Walker is due back in court Feb. 10.

The South Fayette police chief told Channel 4 Action News that Walker has been with the department for three years.

Former Officer Thomas Rush Jr Charged with Resisting Arrest

A traffic stop Thursday afternoon in Bonita Springs resulted in the arrest of three family members – one of whom is a former law enforcement officer from New Jersey.

Thomas Rush Jr., 65, a former New Jersey law enforcement officer; his wife, Donna Rush, 48; and son, Raymond Rush, 18, whose addresses were not released but live in South Lee County, were each charged with resisting a law enforcement officer without violence. They posted $1,000 bond and were released early Friday from Lee County Jail.

According to arrest reports:

Michael Rush, 20, was stopped by Lee deputies for an undisclosed reason and began using his cell phone to call family members.

Raymond Rush, driving a Ford Freestar minivan, arrived and asked why his brother was stopped. The deputies told him to leave, and he did, but he returned with their mother, Donna Rush, who was Tasered twice by deputies.

Thomas Rush, the boys’ father, arrived in a Mustang, parked his vehicle in a nearby parking lot and went toward deputies, even though he was told to stay away.

Thomas Rush told deputies: “He is not (expletive) going anywhere and he did not have to leave.” He armed himself with a black walking cane and refused to leave. He was arrested after a struggle.

Raymond Rush then returned with his mother, who began yelling expletives at the deputies, including: “get off my (expletive) husband.” She was told to leave, refused and a deputy deployed his Taser, but only one prong stuck.

She ran to one of the vehicles and jumped in, wrapping her arm around the steering wheel and locked her leg against the door. She was Tasered a second time, again unsuccessfully. After a struggle she was taken from the vehicle and arrested, as was her youngest son.

It was unclear whether Michael Rush received a traffic citation, but he was not arrested.

The parents were taken to Gulf Coast Hospital after complaining of injuries. They were treated and later released to be booked into jail.

A deputy received a cut under his eye during one of the struggles.

Officer Janet Hawkins Charged with Resisting Arrest

A Daytona Beach police officer was arrested in Holly Hill Tuesday night after authorities said she became violent during a traffic stop and two injured officers.

Janet Hawkins was placed on administrative leave following the incident and faces three charges: careless driving, resisting arrest with violence and resisting arrest without violence.

Investigators said Hawkins was stopped for speeding while apparently heading to the Holly Hill Police Department after learning her 25-year-old son had been arrested during a conflict at an apartment complex.

A police report indicated Hawkins was off-duty and driving her personal car at the time of the traffic stop. The report said she was angered after identifying herself as a police officer, called the Holly Hill officers rednecks and corrupt and said she would sue them for "messing with her family."

Holly Hill police said they tried to calm the situation, but that Hawkins only became more hostile and volatile when they tried to arrest her.

"As they attempt to take her into custody, she then enters her vehicle through the open window. They fear that she is trying to access a weapon. At that point, they went hands-on with her and attempted to place her in hand restraints. That's when she responded with law enforcement defensive tactics against my officers, ultimately injuring one of them," Holly Hill Police Chief Mark Barker said.

One officer involved in the incident suffered a sprained wrist and the other twisted a knee.

Authorities said Hawkins had a gun in her purse but it did not become a factor in the arrest.

The mayor of Holly Hill witnessed part of the confrontation.

"Agitated, belligerent, it was obvious she had some issues with being stopped," Roland Via said.

Hawkins was released from jail on bond on Wednesday and faces an internal affairs investigation. She most recently served in the Daytona Beach Police Department's cold case squad.

Hawkins' younger son said he doesn't buy the story.

"Her being an officer for more than 10 years, I think she would know what resisting arrest is and know not to do that," he said.

A check of her personnel records indicated there was an incident several years ago in which she slapped a fellow officer, but Daytona Beach Police Chief Michael Chitwood said she had done a great job recently, and he said he was very disappointed.

Officer Reynaldo Smith Involved in Domestic Dispute with Girlfriend

Had a St. Petersburg police officer involved in a domestic dispute in Hillsborough County not resigned, he would have been fired, St. Petersburg police administrators say.

On Feb. 1, the officer, Reynaldo Smith, and his girlfriend, Onika Bess, were involved in a domestic dispute at their Hillsborough apartment, authorities say. A roommate of theirs heard a loud crashing in the couple's bedroom, became afraid, ran out of the apartment and called 911, according to St. Petersburg police documents released this morning.

Hillsborough sheriff's deputies arrived and tried to separate the pair, but Smith was uncooperative and belligerent during the investigation, the documents say.

Smith also refused to describe in full detail who he was, and failed to mention he worked for the St. Petersburg Police Department, the documents say. He also refused to be separated from Bess, yelled profanities and told her not to speak to deputies, the documents say.

When the deputies continued trying to separate the pair, Smith forcefully snatched his arm away from them and yelled something to the effect of "don't touch me,'' the documents say. He was arrested on a charge of resisting arrest without violence and was transported to a jail, where he was given a notice to appear in court.

Among other things, Smith lied about his being on the lease for the apartment, and he provided misleading documentation to back up his claim regarding the lease, St. Petersburg police documents say. Investigators also learned that Smith had refused to return a gun given him by the mother of his son, who is a Clearwater police officer, the documents say.

Smith was also told to stay away from Bess during the St. Petersburg investigation, but he was seen with her – a violation of an administrative order, the documents say.

Investigators also learned he had misrepresented his mileage when seeking reimbursement, the documents say.

Smith resigned July 29.

An administrative review board found Thursday he had violated a slew of policies, including one governing an employee's obligation to be truthful, another obligating an employee to do what a supervisor says and a third involving improper conduct.

Officers Kevin Fujioka & Shayne Souza Arrested

Two Honolulu law enforcers in Las Vegas to play in a softball tournament for police and firefighters were arrested on marijuana charges after leading authorities on a short chase.

Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling said officers Kevin Fujioka, 37, and Shayne Souza, 47, were arrested Saturday night near Desert Breeze Park, about six miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.

Scott Wilson, a 38-year-old social worker from Honolulu, also was arrested, Welling said Monday.

Park police approached the men in a white van because it was parked sideways across two spots in the parking lot, Welling said. As officers approached, the van drove off.

After a short pursuit, Souza and Fujioka got out of the van and ran from police, authorities said. Welling said officers pepper-sprayed Souza when he resisted arrest.

All three men were charged with marijuana possession, Welling said. Fujioka also was charged with driving under the influence of a narcotic, and Souza was charged with drug paraphernalia possession, resisting a police officer and obstruction of justice. Wilson was charged with having an open alcohol container in a vehicle, Welling said.

Michelle Yu, spokeswoman for the Honolulu Police Department, confirmed that the agency has two officers with the same names as Fujioka and Souza, but she said the department had not heard about the arrests and could not immediately comment.

Yu said Fujioka is a patrol officer who has worked at the department 13 years, while Souza is a SWAT officer who has been with the department 20 years.

Welling said the men identified themselves as police officers from the Hawaii city.

Tom Wagner, president of the Nevada Police Athletic Federation, said the arrests happened during a men's softball tournament that was part of the 2009 Nevada Police & Fire Games. The five-day event of various sports and games involves about 2,000 police and firefighters from across the country, Wagner said.

He called the arrests "shocking" and said it's possible that the players and their team would not be invited to return to the games.

"It's unfortunate but we definitely are going to be speaking to that coach and that police department and getting the story and deciding what our action will be as a federation," Wagner said.

Officer James Dadeppo Arrested for Shoving his Girlfriend

A Grosse Pointe Woods police officer has been arrested for shoving his girlfriend and resisting arrest, officials said today.

James Joseph Dadeppo, 53, of St. Clair Shores was arrested Friday at a home in the 28900 block of Lane Court near Common and Hayes Roads, police said.

The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office has issued a two-count misdemeanor warrant for Dadeppo on charges of domestic violence and obstructing a police officer, according to Dwyer. The penalty for each crime is 93 days in jail.

The defendant is scheduled to be formally arraigned in 37th District Court on Wednesday. He was released Saturday on a $2,500 bond, Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said today.

Police say they were called to the home on Lane Court to respond to a domestic dispute complaint. Officers spoke to a 53-year-old Warren woman who said Dadeppo became verbally abusive to her while they were having a few drinks at a Sterling Heights restaurant. The woman told police she left the restaurant and returned home.

Dadeppo later showed up at the home and argued with the victim, police said. He also pushed and shoved the woman around her kitchen, she told investigators. The suspect then started collecting some of his personal belongings from the home and the victim called police.

When Warren police officers arrived, they confronted Dadeppo in the home's driveway and retrieved his firearm, Dwyer said.

He said when the officers questioned Dadeppo, he became upset and refused to comply with their requests. A struggle ensued as officers attempted to handcuff him and take him into custody. No one was injured.

Former Officer Eric Sinderman Charged with Resiting Arrest

GURNEE

Getting locked out of his car has gotten a former Gurnee police officer in hot water with local authorities.

Eric Sindermann, 43, of 5011 Prairie Oak Road, was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing justice for refusing to be taken into custody after it was discovered he was named in a Michigan warrant for failure to appear in court, Gurnee police Cmdr. Jay Patrick said.

On March 26 around 7:25 p.m., Sindermann called police to his home for assistance after locking keys in his 1996 Cadillac.

While gathering background information at the scene, officers discovered Houghton County, Mich., authorities had issued an arrest warrant stemming from a April 2008 missed court date regarding a child custody case. Authorities said the warrant was not extraditable.

After learning that he was being arrested, Sindermann fought with officers before being handcuffed, Patrick said. Sindermann, a Gurnee cop during the 1990s, was taken into custody before posting $1,000 bond.

His arraignment is April 24 in Lake County Circuit Court.

Lt Joseph Buzdziol Arrested for Possession & Drunk Driving

The head of a drug unit for the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office faces charges of marijuana possession, drunken driving and resisting and obstructing police after state troopers pulled him over in Bay County, according to Bay County Prosecutor Kurt Asbury.

Lt. Joseph Guzdziol faces up to two years in prison after state police stopped his car in Monitor Township at 11 p.m. Friday.

Police said Guzdziol was driving drunk with a minor in the car when troopers stopped him. Police said Guzdziol was unruly and resisted arrest.

“This is an unfortunate situation because it involves an officer,” Asbury said.

Guzdziol, who worked as an undercover drug officer before taking the helm at the sheriff’s drug unit, was placed on leave without pay.

Troopers tracked down Guzdziol’s car after 911 callers reported an erratic driver.

Guzdziol was released from the Bay County Jail on Saturday after posting a $10,000 bond. He is to be arraigned on March 6 at 74th District Court in Bay City.

Guzdziol has been with the sheriff’s department for 22 years.

Sgt Arthur Barksdale Charged with Harassment

Syracuse, NY

A sergeant with the Onondaga County Sheriff's custody division was arrested over the weekend after an incident at Carousel Center, his boss, Chief Richard Carbery said.

Arthur Barksdale, 48, of 321 Barrington Road, Syracuse, allegedly scuffled with city police officers at the mall in an incident that happened shortly before 10 p.m. Friday night, Carbery said.

Barksdale is now on administrative leave and has been charged with harassment, resisting arrest and obstruction of government administration, Carbery said.

Barksdale, who has been with the Sheriff's office for 22 years, would not comment on the charges, saying he wants to consult with his lawyer first. He is scheduled to meet with his attorney this morning .

Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan said police were at the mall, trying to break up fights at the bottom of the escalator near the food court. Detective Anthony Colavita was trying to get to the bottom to help quell the fray. Barksdale, also going down, had his hands on the rails,
blocking the passage of Colavita, who was in uniform, Connellan said.

According to police reports, Colavita tapped Barksdale on the shoulder and tried to get through. Barksdale allegedly swore and shoved Colavita back, Connellan said.

The two then scuffled, wrestling on the tracks of the escalator, said Connellan.

When they reached the bottom, another officer pulled Barksdale away from the crowds and officers tried to handcuff him, but Barksdale struggled and shouted that he was a cop, Connellan read from reports.

After he was in custody, he was taken downtown to be booked and made bail that night, Connellan said.

Barksdale was among African-American deputies who filed racial harassment and discrimination claims in 2000 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, according to news archives.

Sgt Pete Bunch Charged with Resisting Arrest


SPOKANE

Officials with the Spokane Police Department confirm they arrested a sergeant with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office after an incident Friday morning.

Sergeant Pete Bunch has been identified as the person involved in the incident.

It started when a police officer was called to a home in the 3200 block of East Marie Court on Friday by a woman who dialed 911 to report that a suspicious person was in her backyard.

Court documents say the first officer on scene stopped Sgt. Bunch in the street, but Bunch would not look at him and he appeared to be in a daze.

Police say Bunch was uncooperative and wouldn't answer questions, saying only that he was looking for his lost dog.

The report says the officer grabbed Bunch's wrist to arrest him but Bunch tried to wiggle free.

"There was a point the officer felt he couldn't control the situation and needed to bring his tazer out to effect the arrest. It was at that point that other officers arrived and they were able to take him into custody," Officer Jen DeRuwe of the Spokane Police Department said.

Sgt. Bunch was taken to the Spokane County Jail and booked on a count of Resisting Arrest and Obstructing an Officer. It was only after he was taken into custody that he was formally identified as a sergeant with the sheriff's office.

"They didn't know until they checked his pocket after he was arrested," Officer DeRuwe said.

Police said that Bunch probably would not have been arrested had he just cooperated with his fellow law enforcement officers.

Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich says Bunch has been on the force 32 years.

"These charges of all things, I would expect better from a seasoned veteran," Sheriff Knezovich said.

Sheriff Knezovich says that Bunch has been placed on paid administrative leave and that there will be an internal investigation into his conduct once the criminal case is complete.

"The county doesn't have a system where we put people on unpaid status. It's all paid leave. I don't like that system, so I'm going to find a way to plug the sergeant into a position where he can work and the taxpayers can get some benefit for that pay," Sheriff Knezovich said.

The Sheriff also wanted to assure people that no one gets preferential treatment when it comes to the law.

"This agency will hold people accountable. You've seen me hold people accountable and nothing has changed," Sheriff Knezovich said.

Bunch has been in trouble before and was once demoted from lieutenant to sergeant. The sheriff would not comment on past disciplinary actions taken against Bunch.

Officer Patrick Pogan Pleads Not Guilty to Knocking Down Bicyclist

A city police officer seen in a YouTube video knocking down a bicyclist taking part in a mass bike ride pled not guilty this afternoon to felony and assault charges stemming from the incident.

Officer Patrick Pogan, 23, surrendered at the Manhattan district attorney's office this morning.

He was then arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge and a felony charge of filing a false report. If convicted, he could face jail time.

He was released without bail.

The charges stem from a video posted back in July, which shows bicyclist Christopher Long being knocked down in Times Square by the officer.

Long was riding with the group Critical Mass when the incident occurred. Critics of the group say participants in those demonstrations often ignore stop lights and instructions by police to send a message about their right to use the streets.

Long was charged with blocking traffic, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and assault, but a judge dismissed those charges in September.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly called the "situation sad and disappointing."

"It's certainly sad and disappointing to see any officer indicted, but especially one who had only been out of the police academy for three weeks," said Kelly.

Pogan was stripped of his badge and gun and assigned to desk duty after the incident.

Deputy Erin White Arrested for Disorderly Conduct


ORLANDO

An off-duty Orange County sheriff's deputy has been released from jail after being arrested Sunday for getting into a verbal altercation with Orlando police officers.

Police said they were trying to take a man into custody around 2:30 a.m. Sunday in Downtown Orlando, when his girlfriend, off-duty deputy Erin White, got into a verbal altercation with authorities.

White, 28, was arrested and booked into the Orange County jail. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

White has been an Orange County deputy for less than a year.

It was unknown if White's boyfriend faces any charges.
