CAN'T BE SERIOUS ALL THE TIME
Yesterday , someone I know had his facefuck page open on his computer, where some reactionary asshole had posted a picture saying " Hate cops? Next time you need help, call a crackhead." Well, I found a way to do both. And yes, this amuses me greatly.
A former Platteville police officer who is facing a federal drug charge for allegedly smoking crack cocaine while on duty has been arrested again, this time after crack, heroin and a kit for defeating drug tests were found in her car by police in the Milwaukee area.
Michelle V. Salentine, 29, of Muskego, who was charged with keeping a drug house after her arrest in April, was arrested on Oct. 4 in Greenfield after police discovered her and her brother, Michael Salentine, arguing in a car.
While searching the car, according to a report by U.S. Probation Services Officer Clark Rodgers, police officers found five crack pipes, a marijuana pipe, a syringe, 1.6 grams of crack cocaine, about one-third of a gram of heroin, and 1.21 grams of marijuana.
Police also found a kit in the trunk of the car that was designed to help a woman beat drug tests, Rodgers’ report states. It appeared the kit had been used more than once, he wrote.
Salentine told police that the drugs and paraphernalia belonged to her brother, who declined to talk with police about the items.
Salentine, who had been an officer in Platteville since 2004, was arrested on April 26 by FBI agents after an informant had told police over the prior months that Salentine had used crack cocaine regularly, including occasions when she was in uniform.
Salentine remains in the Milwaukee County Jail. She resigned from the Platteville Police Department after her arrest.
According to Rodgers’ report, Salentine had passed all but one drug test she submitted. Rodgers is recommending that Salentine remain in jail until her case is resolved.
In a letter sent Oct. 5 to U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Crocker, Salentine’s lawyer, federal defender Michael Lieberman, wrote that a plea agreement had been agreed to in principle before her arrest.
And for a more canadian context, check out this useless whining prick....
TORONTO - A former Brantford cop who was caught smoking crack and snorting OxyContin on police video lost a human rights tribunal appeal, ending any chance of him returning to uniform.
Const. Jeffrey Servos, a former six-year veteran of the Brantford Police Service, was captured on a pinhole camera in 2007 smoking crack in his cruiser.
Servos resigned from the force in 2009 after a series of plea bargains rather than serving three months in jail.
He pleaded guilty to one count of possessing cocaine in 2009 and was slapped with 16 Police Services Act charges. The police act charges were withdrawn after he resigned.
Servos in March 2010 filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario alleging “discrimination in employment on the basis of disability.”
Tribunal member Brian Cook on March 8 dismissed the complaint saying Servos had taken more than a year to file the grievance, which was too long a time.
Cook dismissed allegations by Servos that “termination of his employment was discriminatory and that he experienced discrimination during the period of his employment.”
An earlier tribunal was told Servos had notified his superiors of his drug problem and was sent for rehabilitation three times.
In an unprecedented move, his superiors placed a pinhole camera in his cruiser and a GPS on his personal vehicle to monitor his movements to determine if he was drug-free.
The surveillance video showed Servos snorting OxyContin — a prescription pain killer used alleviate medium to severe pain — and smoking crack cocaine in his cruiser while on duty in June 2007.
He had been investigated three times by the Special Investigations Unit without charges being laid.
Servos in May 2007 fired four rounds into a van that was boxed in by police cruisers.
Two of the shots went through the van’s windshield and one of them hit a
15-year-old who was a passenger in the van. The girl was treated for a gunshot wound to her left arm.
The shooting took place just a day after police received a tip about an officer named Jeff buying painkillers. Police said there were calls from other drug dealers who claimed they were robbed by a cop.
A urine test revealed Servos had also been taking methadone and ephedrine — a nasal congestion medication that can also be used as a stimulant or weight loss aid.
Brantford police refused to comment on the case on Wednesday.
