Officer convicted of assault after shooting and killing man and his dog

Posted on by

“Virgillo’s version of events had Chrisman barging into the trailer after Rodriguez had asked for a warrant, with Chrisman putting his weapon to Rodriguez’s head and responding that the gun served as his warrant.  Rodriguez’s mother, Elvira Fernandez, took the witness stand when jurors were asked to determine whether Chrisman’s decision to point a gun at the head of Rodriguez caused emotional distress for Rodriguez’s family. Fernandez was moved to tears as she described her guilt over calling police that afternoon to report that her son had thrown something against the wall of their trailer and scared her, telling jurors that she thinks every day of her decision to call police.”

Former MNPD Officer Attempted Child Porn Framing Of Ex-Girlfriend

Posted on by

“A former Metropolitan Nashville Police officer was arrested after authorities said he used his resources as a cop to try to get his ex-girlfriend fired from her job.  In April, authorities said McShepard sent an anonymous letter to the Commissioner of the Department of Children’s Services making allegations of prostitution and pornography against a DCS employee.  The letter contained confidential biographical information and provocative photos of the employee, who was McShepard’s ex-girlfriend.  An investigation proved those allegations were unfounded and that McShepard sent the information in attempt to cause her harm at work after they broke up.”

Lawsuit: Police beat Clayton man after ignoring plea for medical help

Posted on by

“A Clayton man, who was arrested by Deptford Police in 2011 and held at the Gloucester County jail, is suing the municipal police department, the county and corrections department in federal court, claiming he was not resisting arrest, but instead having a seizure.  Taharqu Dean filed a lawsuit last month in federal court claiming civil rights violations and slamming local law enforcement for not recognizing a medical emergency through a failure to train officers.  In the lawsuit Dean claims to have informed police of his condition — epilepsy, a seizure disorder — and requested medical attention.  The case against him was dismissed last year.”

Posted on by

“The family of a man killed in a barrage of gunfire during a SWAT raid at a home southwest of Tucson has settled a lawsuit with four police agencies involved in the operation.  Guerena, 26, was shot and killed by SWAT team members on May 5, 2011, when they raided his house.  The former Marine had been asleep after working a night shift and was awakened by his wife, who thought intruders were in the yard. He was holding an AR-15 rifle when he was shot.  A spokeswoman for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department disagreed with the decision to settle, but hinted a prolonged trial could wind up costing taxpayers even more.”
