Matthew Deus has recently drawn to a close stemming from the incident that ignited days of protests he now faces allegations of knowingly presenting a falsified police report once again the arrest footage took the spotlight within the courtroom a clear divide exists between the backers of the discharged officer who remain convinced that the case lacks Merit and those advocating for Amari Johnson who assert that the charges leveled against deas fall short of addressing the issue at hand in a courtroom scene Matthew deas once a l Mesa police officer appeared with a clean shaven look and attired in a suit with a composed demeanor he listened attentively as detective Julie Jensen took the stand her testimony shed light on the events surrounding D's encounter with Amari Johnson according to Jensen D's initial reason for approaching Johnson was his suspicion that he was smoking on the Grossmont street car platform Jensen further asserted that the former officer stated Johnson had engaged in physical aggression Mr Johnson swatted at his hand or pushed his hand recordings from body cameras and onlookers provide a glimpse into a tense exchange that transpired in May 2020 the footage both from the perspective of the officer and by standers captured a segment of the intense interaction that unfolded during that time during the incident Johnson offered an explanation detailing that he was on the search for a friend who resided in a nearby apartment complex I'm talking to you and you smack me bro nobody smacked you bro why I smack you you didn't why I smack you you didn't you didn't hit my Smack initially Johnson's encounter with law enforcement began when he was approach due to smoking in a public area however the situation escalated swiftly and he was subsequently informed that he was being held for allegedly assaulting an officer eventually all charges against him were dropped in a turn of events the focus shifted to Matthew deas the former lame Mesa police officer he now faced a serious charge as the district attorney pressed a felony count against him for submitting a fabricated police report the allegations against deas claimed that he had provided misleading information asserting that Johnson was involved in smoking and evading Fair payment at the trolley station within the courtroom local activists made their presence felt as they rallied in support of Johnson their appearance served as a visual demonstration of solidarity and backing for his cause report is that uh he thought he was smoking he didn't think he was smoking because he had no cigarettes he had no lighter he didn't even raise a lit object to his lips This Is A Lie the encounter took place merely days following the tragic murder of George Floyd an incident that triggered widespread anger and protest Within in the local community the timing of this meeting Amplified the existing outrage and added a layer of intensity to the situation for those rallying behind the dismissed police officer the lens through which they view the entire scenario is political days after this George Floyd incident fall out I mean our society they want to demonize police officers it's time that we stand up and support our police officers D later faces 3 years in prison this is Noah Lenin a former Warren police officer who issued an apology for his involvement in a false claim regarding a shooting incident as a result of my actions I caused panic in the community caused citizens of the African-American Community to be targeted and inconvenience this incident took place back in January 2020 prompting a frantic search by fellow police officers to identify the supposed perpetrator however it was later revealed that the information provided was inaccurate as as a consequence of his actions Noah lennin will be serving a jail sentence shamed of my actions on that Noah lennin previously a Warren police officer who now carries the label of a felon had a significant moment in court it was the first instance since his arrest that he directly spoke to the court shedding light on the events that unfolded on January 13th of the preceding year police officer who had sworn to uphold and follow the law from someone who made police work his life and would never do anything that would jeopardize not only the His Image but the image of all officers everywhere to someone who was so broken that I made a series of that decision according to the prosecutors on that particular day it's alleged that lennin experienced a mental breakdown he used his police issued radio to report a distressing incident where he claimed he was targeted by a black man in a dark colored SUV who supposedly fired at him this distress call triggered a massive response with around 60 police officers rushing to his Aid and conducting traffic stops the situation escalated to the extent that officers encircled an entire apartment complex hoping to locate the alleged perpetrator however upon thorough investigation it was revealed that Lenin's account of the events was fabricated the incident that had set off such a significant police operation turned out to be false the black man in a hoodie is a very suspect statement made in today's society right now and Cat Lennon stated that he had sought professional medical assistance and received a diagnosis for a serious condition although he didn't provide further details about the nature of that condition I hope that all those affected can forgive me as I am truly sorry for what I did and what problems it caused the damage that Mr Lenin did to the Warren City Police Department and the African-American community and Warren City you know there's nothing that he can do to make up for that Lennon's sentence was determined to be 9 months of confinement in the Lorraine Correctional Institution this penalty was imposed due to his failure to fulfill the obligation of paying over $10,000 in reparations to the police officers who had responded to the incident that night this is Michael Doo a former police officer from Edison who engaged in a string of retaliatory plots against fellow officers whom he believed had mistreated him during his tenure on the force this vengeful series of actions led him to commit a grave act maliciously setting fire to his supervisor's residence as he

set while the property sustained significant damage thankfully no injuries were incurred by any of the occupants throughout the trial which lasted approximately an hour Dr remained entirely silent the judge shared their perspectives on the matter while Doo chose not to speak because of what this individual has done because of him and people like him in recent years Michael Doo's life has been marred by a series of legal troubles in addition to the attempted murder and arson accusations one instance involved him facing charges of official misconduct it was alleged that he accessed police records and shared information with his wife about about a tire slashing incident that supposedly involved a woman he had a relationship with Do's legal wo continued as he pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges this stemmed from his desire for retaliation against a North Brunswick police officer who had issued a drunk driving citation to someone else these incidents together underscore Do's tendency to isue Divine Justice and instead take matters into his own hands to seek retribution but what he's really done and what we're going to be left with after he's walking out the door to spend the next third of his life in prison drro received his sentencing with the court ordering him to serve 20 years in prison for the charge of attempted murder in addition he was given a 10-year prison term for

conspiracy to interfere fear with a witness furthermore he faced an 18-month prison term for his role in a conspiracy to retaliate crucially it's important to note that all these prison terms will be

readers future this is Zachary Wester at his trial in Jackson County Florida he is a former sheriff's deputy facing charges of racketeering fabricating evidence false imprisonment and possession of Controlled Substances Wester is accused of planting drugs in several Vehicles during random traffic stops appears to be an illegal narcotic do you know anything about that I do not despite all of the drivers denying ownership of the drugs the majority of them were still arrested these arrests raised suspicion internally leading to Wester suspension in 2018 3 years later the case finally went to trial where Wester pleaded not guilty to all charges this is a case about an abuse of an incredible power about the abuse of the incredible trust that we all put we have to put in law enforcement the prosecution tion used the defendant's own body camera footage as evidence to support their argument in court Steven Van who had a criminal record had recently been released from jail when Wester allegedly discovered methamphetamine in his car have you ever seen this before what is that um I'm just trying to figure out how that stuff got in your car you going go to jail today for position of Meine okay oh man serious dud what you want me to do man similar to the other drivers who testified van allowed the officer to search his car as he believed he had nothing to hide and I knew I knew my truck was coming I knew it was during the trial the jury was able to view the majority of the recorded traffic stops however it was discovered that some recordings had mysteriously vanished and were no longer available why in the world would that have been deleted I wish I knew that answer interestingly the body camera footage turned out to be the most compelling evidence for the prosecution particularly in the case involving Teresa Odum Hi how are you I'm good at first the officer is very polite and even a bit playful need be concerned about bombs hand grenades rocket launchers abely as Odum stands near the vehicle Wester initiates the search it is worth noting that as he gets ready to put on his gloves there is a small item visible in his left hand prosecutors contend that Wester concealed a small bag of methamphetamine in his palm which he then alleged to have discovered alongside a spoon inside the vehicle it is yogurt sir I know okay it's yogurt how about this that is not mine no sir okay now the white small plastic baggie that was in in that spoon that the deputy just showed you on this video had you ever seen that before no sir was that in your car no sir regarding motive the prosecution argues that the 28-year-old officer was ambitious and eager to advance to narcotics investigations as swiftly as he could in contrast Wester testified under oath that he never planted any drugs drugs were there I did not put the narcotics there after 5 days of testimony and numerous Witnesses the jury was tasked with delivering a verdict if Wester is found guilty on all charges he could face a life sentence in prison following 7 hours of deliberation the jury returns with its verdict State of Florida versus z k Wester leave the jury find as follows as to the

misconduct during the arrests of both van and Teresa Odom out of the 12 drivers involved 11 of them filed civil lawsuits against Wester in July 2021 he received a prison sentence of 12 1/2 years a police officer was assigned to investigate a vehicle unaware that it was a bait vehicle intentionally placed to catch potential theft upon inspecting the vehicle the officer secretly took possession of pills and over $1,000 in cash however when reporting back the officer falsely claimed that there was nothing of value in the car unbeknownst to the officer the police department had intentionally planted the cash and pills in the vehicle interestingly all of this incriminating Behavior was recorded on the officer's body camera crooked cop is is caught in the act on his own body camera video the key piece of evidence led to the conviction of a former MTSU police officer just this month now the case started with a missing AR-15 and as new news channel 5's Nick Baris shows us it ended with an elaborate sting Allon on camera this is a body camera footage from former MTSU officer Marco Burke as he approaches an abandoned vehicle on campus last year unbeknownst to him this was a planned operation to test Burke's reaction when faced with temptation an Integrity Chief buddy paser had suspicions that Burke a former MTSU officer had stolen an AR-15 from an MTSU police locker but he lacked concrete evidence to gather proof the Murphreesboro police arranged a sting operation on campus deploying a bait car equipped with hidden cameras officer Burke was assigned to investigate the abandoned vehicle alone in the recorded footage we witness Burke's Focus as he discovers and discreetly Pockets a bottle of pills he then proceeds to take possession of $1,100 in cash and another bottle of pills shortly thereafter Burke reports no unusual findings to dispatch concealing his illicit actions two police officers were taken into custody on charges related to public corruption it appears that these officers were engaged in fraudulent activities involving the misappropriation of taxpayer funds they would allegedly arrive late and leave early yet manipulate their time logs to reflect otherwise thereby exploiting overtime pay such actions amount to stealing from the taxpayers It is believed that they accumulated more than $120,000 through these illicit practices Federal prosecutors say it was a yearlong scheme to fraudulently obtain overtime money money they say was Federal funding to support highway safety programs like sobriety checkpoints former Lieutenant Daniel Griffin and former Sergeant William Robertson allegedly arrived late to their shifts and left early and falsified records to create the impression that they were working the entire overtime shift Griffin and Robertson ensured that their co-conspirators all entered the same false number of hours worked into the system and entered false citation times to make it look like they were working the full 4-Hour overtime shift when instead it was something less two police officers from Columbus have been arrested and are currently in jail facing federal drug charges the FBI was responsible for
