15 Philly Officers Beat Suspects

Philadelphia Police officers are investigating several of their own officers after a video surfaces showing several officers kicking and beating three suspects after being pulled from a car during a traffic stop.

The scenes were caught on tape by a TV helicopter crew on Monday. The footage shows three police cars stopping a car. About a dozen officers are seen gathering around the vehicle and pulling three men out. Some of the officers hold two of the men on the ground. Both are then kicked repeatedly, while one is seen being punched and struck with a baton. The third man is also pulled out and kicked.

The city's police commissioner on Tuesday said the video ''certainly does not look good'', but stressed the force did not want to ''rush to judgment''.

The officers were responding to a report of a shooting nearby, police said.

The commissioner told reporters that the suspects ''had been observed involved at a triple shooting at the time''.

Philadelphia officers have been on edge since Saturday, when an officer was fatally shot with an assault rifle after a robbery.

One of the robbery suspects was fatally shot by police, another was arrested on Sunday and a third remains on the run.

The officer was the third one slain on duty in the city in the last two years.

An attorney for one of the men said he did not know what preceded the traffic stop in the city's Hunting Park neighborhood, but that the video showed an unjustified police beating. He went on to say that police told him all three men would be charged with aggravated assault.

Police Officer Garry Ferguson Arrested for Forcible Rape of Under Aged Girls

A Maricopa Police Officer from Bakersfield, California has been arrested for sexual misconduct with three minors.

Lemoore police said they arrested Officer Garry Ferguson, 29, late Friday night at a relative's home in Rosedale on an arrest warrant from the King's County district attorney.

Ferguson was in a King's County court Monday morning and pleaded not guilty to a total of 12 counts in three separate cases.

Charges include forcible rape, unlawful intercourse with a minor and oral copulation. The King's County district attorney said two of the girls are 14 to 16 years old.

They said Ferguson met one of the girls while taking a karate class in King's County and started a relationship with her.

The most serious charges against Ferguson are from a relationship they say he had with a 13-year-old girl.

The King’s County District Attorney’s Office said Ferguson knew the minor for a while and eventually developed a relationship with her that lasted for a few years.
Ferguson's bail is set at $300,000.

According to Maricopa police, Kern County has an ongoing investigation on Ferguson. The Kern County district attorney has not confirmed the investigation.

Maricopa police said the chief of police and city manager will be discussing whether Ferguson will be terminated. They said an action will be taken sometime this week.

Federal Court says Charges against Officer will be Upheld

Federal Appeals court has upheld the conviction and sentence of an Atlanta, Alabama police officer for lying about a prisoner who was injured during an arrest.

A federal judge sentenced Officer Jason Hardy Hunt, who was a narcotics detective for Prichard, Alabama, to five months in prison and just five months of home detention.

The suspect James Woodard became agitated and argued with officers back on March 22, 2005 when he was being detained, and searched. Officers tried to arrest him after he cursed and threatened them. Officer Hunt threw Woodard to the pavement, injuring his head.

Hunt reported that Woodard grabbed him first, and repeated the falsehood to an FBI agent almost a year later.

On appeal, Officer Hunt said the evidence was insufficient to convict him of deliberate falsehood and that the short 10-month sentence was excessive. (Poor little baby...go cry now.) A three-judge panel of the 11the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed in an opinion filed Monday.

Trial begins for the 92-year old Woman Killed in botched Drug Raid

The attorney for a former police officer charged in a botched drug raid in which an elderly woman was shot to death described a renegade Atlanta narcotics unit that routinely planted drugs and lied to obtain search warrants.

Former officer Arthur Tesler's unit often took illegal shortcuts, ignored department policy and carried bags of drugs in their squad cars, defense attorney William McKenney said Monday in opening statements for Tesler's trial on charges of lying to help cover up misconduct in the raid.

Kathryn Johnston, 92, was killed November 26, 2006, shot 39 times as plainclothes narcotics officers busted into her home using a "no-knock" warrant. Johnston fired one shot from a pistol as police were breaking down her door, but she did not hit any of the officers.

Tesler's trial is likely the only one in the Johnston shooting because former officers Jason R. Smith and Gregg Junnier have already pleaded guilty to state manslaughter and federal civil rights charges. They are expected to testify against Tesler.

A prosecutor argued Tesler was also responsible for Johnston's death because he knew his colleagues lied to obtain the warrant. Tesler is charged with violation of oath by a public officer, making false statements and false imprisonment under color of legal process.
"This case is about drugs, deceit, death and disgrace," Fulton County prosecutor Kellie S. Hill told the jury.

Hill began her statement by showing a photograph of a smiling Johnston while the recorded sound of 39 gunshots was played for jurors. Tesler didn't show any emotion while it was played.

On the day Johnston was killed, prosecutors said that Smith, Junnier and Tesler were told by a man they arrested earlier in the day that drugs were being sold out of Johnston's house. But they violated department policy by not using a confidential informant to verify the information, Hill said.

Instead, Smith lied to a magistrate to get the warrant, swearing that he had gotten the information from a department-approved confidential informant. The trio is accused of telling the same lie to the rest of the narcotics unit, which helped them bust through Johnston's door.

The officer's lawyer argued that Tesler was in the backyard of the home when the shooting happened. Tesler, a rookie in the narcotics unit, was pressured by his superiors to cover up their misdeeds, McKenney said.

"Arthur Tesler was manipulated, controlled and exploited by two senior officers," McKenney said.

After the shooting, Smith planted three bags of marijuana in the basement. Prosecutors said the trio met secretly five times to coordinate their story for federal investigators looking at the shooting.

The fatal shooting prompted wide criticism of the police department, a shake-up of the narcotics unit and a review of how officers obtain and use no-knock warrants, which are intended to keep drug suspects from having time to destroy evidence.

Police Officer Arrested for Having Sex with COWS

A South Jersey police officer already in jail after being accused of molesting three children, has now been charged yesterday with four counts of animal cruelty for having sex with barnyard animals, authorities said.

Patrolman Robert Melia, 38, was suspended last week by the Moorestown Police department after authorities raided his Moorestown home and seized a computer and pornographic materials.

Police say that several others were also arrested during their investigation in what police say was porn movie making involving minor children, animals and others.
Melia and Pemberton filmmaker Heather Lewis, 32, were charged April 13 with the sexual assaults of three girls at Melia’s house. The assaults occured on multiple occasions during the last five years, said a spokesman for the Burlington County Prosecutor’s office said.

Melia is being held on $510,000 bail at the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly. Lewis, who is charged with aggravated sexual assault and criminal sexual contact, is being held on $300,000 bail at the Women’s Detention Center in Pemberton.

The animal cruelty charges were filed after an examination of the seized materials, authorities said.

An investigation is continuing. Police said they were investigating four incidents involving cows.

Authorities say other charges may be forthcoming and possible others will be arrested in this case.

Ex-Cop Arrested for Offering Money to Suck Underage Girls Toes

Former Munhall, PA police officer Michael Curtin has been charged with trying to solicit sex from several underage girls and offering them $1000 to suck their toes.

Curtin’s began hanging around the underage girls in January 2006, and also supplied alcohol to at least three teenage girls. The girls also accused Curtin of touching them inappropriately.

Using MySpace to contact more underage girls, Curtin would offer them $1000 to allow him to kiss their feet and suck their toes.

"The parent had felt that her daughter had some contact that she felt wasn't quite right with a person who they believed to be police officer in Munhall," said Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt.

In the MySpace postings, police said Curtin actually mentioned in one solicitation, "I'm a Munhall cop."

Curtin is charged with corruption of minors, unlawful contact with minors and criminal solicitation of indecent assault and prostitution from the MySpace probe of his alleged foot fetish.

That probe led to additional charges, involving corruption and the endangering of three additional underage girls. He's accused of indecent assault against two of them, and providing girls alcohol and letting them drive his car.

Former Steel Valley High School student Sarah Chalfont said she remembers when Curtin used to patrol outside of the school.

"He was really lurky. You know, he was always standing around and looking around at people and usually the cops that were up there weren't like that. You're taught to trust an officer and then for someone that you trust to hurt you and scar you for life like that, it's really sad."

As far as they know, police said they believe all of the alleged activity happened while Curtin was off duty.

In order to post bond, Curtin must first clear a screening by the jail's behavioral unit. The Munhall Borough Council voted unanimously to fire Curtin in February.

On Wednesday, Curtin's attorney said the officer's dismissal was partially related to the allegations that are surfacing now, but he declined to comment further.

Investigators suspect that some of the activity involving the girls occurred at Curtin's Munhall home, according to the complaint.

Curtin is currently being held in Allegheny County Jail on a bond of $100,000.

Woman Moves Out of State to Feel Safe from Judge

Kalisha Nolen who accused Judge Jesse Harris of exposing himself has moved to Nashville, Tennessee so she will feel safe. "I knew that once he saw the police report ... he would know that I had done this and that it would be public record," she said. "I was already afraid of him ... It was not safe for me" to stay in Oklahoma, she said.

Now, she said, "I am not afraid to stand up to him. I have had it once and for all."

Miss Nolen, 32 dated Judge Harris for 5 years, but had left him a year before the alleged exposure occurred back on March 9. Nolen said she met him in 2002, when she worked as a process server during a high-profile molestation trial.

She said she broke up with him in 2007 "because of all the womanizing.”

She said she gave a Tulsa police detective access to her medical records and even took a lie-detector test, "because they said it would help them make a solid case.”
The police affidavit alleges that Judge Harris pulled up outside Nolen’s motel room and, as she looked out the window of her room, asked questions about Nolen's friend.

Nolen said she had called Judge Harris earlier that morning, seeking legal advice for the friend. The police affidavit alleges that as he sat in his car outside the motel room, Harris asked Nolen about her friend's looks and suggested they have group sex. At one point he exited the car and exposed his penis through the fly of his pants, Nolen told police. The judge continued to expose himself after the second woman exited the motel room, the affidavit quotes Nolen as saying.

During a police interview, Harris admitted having a conversation with the women outside the motel room but denied any exposure or explicit sexual conversation, according to the affidavit.

Harris has been a judge since 1986 and has been a trial judge in criminal cases longer than any other Tulsa County judge.

Nolan now lives in a “protective environment” and is receiving counseling, services for domestic and sexual assault.

Former Officer Lawrence Epps Arrested for Robbing Credit Union

Lawrence Epps, 46, of Jackson, Mississippi was arrested Thursday for holding up a downtown credit union and taking just $8,000 last week.

Jackson Police Department had obtained an arrest warrant for Epps on April 25 just a few hours after the Mississippi Employees Credit Union on South West Street was robbed. Witnesses told police the robber walked into the bank, handed the teller a note demanding money and fled with $8,000. It was the fifth reported bank robbery in the metro area in a month.

Epps of Jackson eluded capture for a week while staying in the metro area, authorities said.

"There are places where you can go and disappear, and people help you probably," Assistant Police Chief Lee Vance said. "It just took us about a week to find out exactly where he was.”

Vance said JPD is not looking for anyone who may have harbored or assisted Epps.
"But if it turns out that that was the case, then we will actively pursue those individuals, as well," he said.

Scott would not comment on whether investigators went to Epps' home during their search for him or whether the money has been recovered.

Neither marshals nor JPD investigators said that they knew why Epps was downtown, but they said they believe Epps may have been flushed out of hiding by the attention he was getting.

"I do know that the Police Department, the FBI and the Marshals Task Force have placed a lot of pressure on Mr. Epps and some of his associates," Griffin said. "And that possibly could have led to him seeking assistance somewhere else."

Epps was a six-year burglary detective and former president of the police officers union before being fired in 1999 after he tested positive for cocaine use. In a Civil Service Commission hearing in November 1999, Epps denied smoking crack in the presence of then-Internal Affairs Detective Deric Hearn. Epps' termination from JPD was upheld by the commission, and a Hinds County Circuit Court judge denied Epps' appeal in 2001.

"It is always a slap in the face to those of us in law enforcement to see one of our own go bad," Flowers said.

"It is a testament to the scourge of crack cocaine in our society. It is very sad," Vance said. "Police officers are held to a higher standard and higher expectations, and he betrayed that. Even more than that, he betrayed himself and his family."

He is being held at the Madison County jail on a $150,000 bond. If convicted he could face up to 20 years in prison.
