August 01, 2006 - GLOCESTER -- A suspended East Providence police officer is being held in protective custody at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston after he was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend and threatening to take his life with a shotgun. Officer Jason Francis, 29, of 884 Putnam Pike, was charged with possession of a firearm while intoxicated, a felony, and one count of simple assault and one count of disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. An East Providence patrolman since 2000, Francis was suspended without pay in March 2005 after allegedly kicking in the face a handcuffed suspect who was seated in the police station. He was charged with three counts of assault and one count of filing a false document and is currently awaiting an October trial. Superior Court Judge William J. McAtee yesterday ordered Francis held in protective custody at the ACI pending a bail violation hearing Aug. 7. While acknowledging that the prosecution's case was "indicative of something happening" at the Glocester residence, McAtee said he was concerned for the officer's safety in prison and scheduled an earlier court date for Francis. "He should not be treated differently than anyone else," Assistant District Attorney Bethany Macktaz argued. Francis allegedly struck his girlfriend and mother of his young child after an argument in the couple's bedroom Sunday night, according to Police Chief Jaime A. Hainsworth. Police responded at 10 p.m. and found the couple arguing outside. Macktaz said there were "visible signs of injury" to the woman's face, that Francis had allegedly hit her several times and "threw her around the room." Francis then apparently loaded a shotgun and threatened to take his own life. The loaded shotgun was found in the bedroom, Hainsworth said. Lise J. Gescheidt, the lawyer representing Francis, said that her client denied the assault allegations, denied using the shotgun to threaten his girlfriend, and denied being drunk at the time of his arrest. Gescheidt said that Francis suffered a swollen right eye from the altercation. Francis "is not a danger to anyone," she said. "He doesn't even smell of alcohol and it's not like he could have taken a shower." Francis was held overnight at the police station and transferred to District Court in Providence yesterday morning. Bail was set at $10,000 personal recognizance for the new charges. Lt. Christopher J. Parella, of the East Providence Police Department, confirmed that Francis is still suspended without pay in light of the new charges. In March 2005, Edward Viera filed a $100,000 claim against the City of East Providence after Francis kicked him in the face and broke his nose after a February arrest. Viera had been arrested by Francis on two counts of assaulting a police officer, obstructing police, and resisting arrest. An investigation by the department later found Francis falsely reported that Viera struggled and attempted to attack him at the police station. A Providence grand jury indicted Francis on March 27, 2005, on one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of assault and battery with serious bodily injury resulting, one count of simple assault, and one count of filing a false document. www.projo.com/eastbayandmass/content/projo_20060801_epcop1.18ced45.html

July 19, 2006 - FORT PIERCE -- A Fort Pierce police officer accused of choking his pregnant girlfriend was sentenced to probation Wednesday and resigned from the agency under a plea deal. David Leon Clark, 42, pleaded no contest to charges of tampering with a witness, possession of a firearm with an altered serial number and attempted aggravated battery, a reduced charge. He was sentenced by Circuit Judge Gary Sweet to three years of probation with conditions that he undergo anger management and substance abuse treatment and resign his law enforcement certification. Sweet withheld adjudication on the charges which means he will not be a convicted felon. Had he been convicted at trial, Clark could have faced a maximum of 11 years in prison. The alleged victim, Clark's fiancé, said their April argument was blown out of proportion and she asked the charges to be dropped. A police report claimed she said he choked her and slammed her head into a floor during an argument in the Port St. Lucie home they shared. Though Clark was initially charged with attempted murder in the incident, prosecutors decided not to proceed with that charge and filed an aggravated battery charge instead. Clark had been on paid administrative leave from the police department while the case was pending, but turned in his resignation Wednesday, said Audria Moore, a police spokeswoman. Defense attorney Hugo Concha, who represented Clark, said his client agreed to the plea because he did not want to put himself or his fiancé through the stress of a trial. Concha said he remained confident Clark would have been found not guilty had the case gone to a jury. There are no restrictions preventing him from seeing his fiancé under the plea deal, Concha said. Assistant State Attorney Steve Gosnell said Clark's lack of a prior record, the facts of the case and his fiancé's strong objections to the charges influenced his decision. He made the plea offer about a week and a half ago and Clark accepted all of the conditions, he said. www.tcpalm.com/tcp/local_news/article/0,2545,TCP_16736_4855508,00.html

July 22, 2006 - SMYRNA — A 20-year veteran of the Smyrna Police Department has been suspended after his arrest related to a domestic-violence incident. Officer Ken Atkin was arrested by members of his own department shortly after 10 a.m. Thursday, said Police Chief Mike Beach. When officers arrived at 111-A Division St., they had probable cause to arrest Atkin for assault, Beach said. Atkin's suspension is indefinite and depends on the outcome of criminal and internal investigations. Atkin was off duty when the incident occurred, the chief said. "We treated him like we would any other person in that situation," Beach said. Because the case is under investigation, no other details were released. As Ken "The Bull" Atkin, he captured the World Boxing Federation light-heavyweight title. He even held his own in a 1991 fight with four-time world title-holder Thomas Hearns. Atkin, who founded the town's Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) boxing program in 1997, also represents the department at national P.A.L. conferences. "We've never had anything along this line occur with him," Beach said. dnj.midsouthnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060722/NEWS01/607220313/1002

Officer Paul Collins June 30, 2006 - A Mason police officer accused of assault is out on bond, after turning himself in. Prosecutors say officer Paul Collins barged into a Hamilton Township house Saturday morning and assaulted Officer Melissa Campbell, with whom he'd once had a relationship. At Collins' arraignment yesterday, Officer Campbell told the court she was not afraid of Collins, and that he is not a threat to her. In fact, she's the one who posted his bond. www.fox19.com/Global/story.asp?S=5080707&nav=0zHF

01/17/2006 - DEKALB COUNTY -- DeKalb County police officer Patricia Ann White is on the other side of the law after officials say she was arrested for battery.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - An off-duty Jersey City police officer involved in a car accident that critically injured a woman and her 2-year-old child has been arrested for drunken driving, police said Wednesday. Authorities charged Officer Kevin Freibott with drunken driving following the accident and he has been suspended without pay. The accident, which happened at about 11 p.m. Tuesday, left Ruth Zelaya and her son critically injured. The accident was being investigated by police department's accident investigation and internal affairs units and the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, said Jersey City police spokesman Lt. Edgar Martinez. Police Chief Thomas Comey said the internal affairs division took a blood sample from Freibott to determine if he was impaired, and it has been forwarded to state police. Freibott was initially charged with driving under the influence, and after further investigation he has been charged with assault by auto, a third-degree crime. Freibott, a member of the Jersey City Police Department since December 2005, has been in trouble before over a traffic accident. He was fired from the Middletown Township Police Department in 2001 after a minor accident outside an Atlantic Highlands tavern for failure to have a valid driver's license, but the state Merit System Board later ordered him reinstated. Freibott is the second-cousin of Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy. cbs3.com/topstories/local_story_024202417.html
