Lawsuit: Calif. sheriffs left 75 pizza boxes at pot farm after allegedly illegal raid

 

A Southern California pot farmer is suing Riverside County for what he characterizes as an illegal law enforcement raid on his property.

 

The farmer, Preston McCormick, is alleging that deputies with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office ransacked his business and left 75 pizza boxes behind following the operation last year. In his suit filed Friday against several individuals and public entities — including the County of Riverside and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department — in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Preston is claiming $10 million in losses and damages.

 

In his complaint, as Law360 first reported, McCormick claims that more than 100 deputies and support staff conducted a predawn raid on his farm, East Wind AG, located just north of the Salton Sea on tribal land owned by the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians. The suit says the deputies intentionally ripped down hundreds of greenhouses and other infrastructure due to an “unbridled lust for chaos.”

 

The suit says the raid, carried out Dec. 7 of last year, resulted in the destruction of 18,299 plants that were on “the cusp of harvest.” In addition to valuing the crops at approximately $10 million, McCormick alleges that deputies confiscated personal items from his home on the property, including $10,000 in cash.

 

After the raid, McCormick alleges the deputies ordered pizza, along with other food and drinks, for delivery to his property to celebrate. Then the next day, the lawsuit alleges deputies returned to the property to retrieve cell phones, radios and other items that had been left behind. The lawsuit also says 75 pizza boxes were “haphazardly discarded” on the property.

 

But McCormick’s chief complaint is that he says the raid was conducted illegally. He says he worked with the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians a few months before the raid to secure license and lease agreements, as well as permits, to grow and sell cannabis on tribal land. His lawsuit alleges that tribal officials showed up during the raid, but were told by deputies that they needed to leave and would be arrested if they interfered.

Ex-Tennessee Cop Caught In Sex Scandal with White Female Colleague Sues City After Only Black Cops Involved Were Fired

 

The lawsuit follows a sex scandal that resulted in the termination of five police officers and the suspension of three last January after it was revealed that a female officer, 27-year-old Maegan Hall, had trysts with at least six other officers and had a threesome with one officer and his wife.

 

Hall, who is white, is accused of having a fetish for Black men, and Powell claims that he was terminated while white officers involved in the scandal were not.

 

Hall claims “her supervisors and the Chief of Police groomed her for sexual exploitation” and she filed a sexual exploitation lawsuit against the city, former Chief of Police Davis, Henry “Ty” McGowan and Powell last February.

 

Powell is a 15-year veteran of the LPD and in the counterclaim says it was Hall who first repeatedly approached him for sex acts, despite them both being married. He admitted to engaging in oral sex with Hall but claims that after he tried to break it off, Hall called him a “homosexual.”

 

“On multiple occasions, while at work, she told him to put his ‘big black d—k’ in her mouth and ‘gag’ her with it,” says the counterclaim. “When Powell held firm, saying that he wanted to be with his own wife instead, Hall said that he must be a homosexual.”

 

Powell said the department had “terminated and defamed all the officers involved — except for those who were white and male — based at least partly on racial prejudice.”

 

Hall, Powell, Patrol Officer Juan Lugo, Detective Seneca Shields, Sgt. Ty McGowan, and Chief Davis were all terminated.

 

Patrol Officer Patrick Magliocco, K-9 officer Larry Holladay and Patrol Officer Gavin Schoeberl were suspended for trading naked pics with Hall.

 

Magliocco and Hall reportedly had a threesome with Magliocco’s wife at a party. Davis allegedly received explicit videos of Hall masturbating. Hall later spent three days in a mental facility, which prompted the investigation. She claimed to have a history of mental illness.

Villanueva to testify in January hearing on LASD deputy gangs

 

Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is expected to give sworn testimony during a special hearing on alleged deputy gangs that will take place in January. 

 

Villanueva was at the center of the department’s controversy when news broke about alleged deputy gangs accused of violent policing and celebrating deputy shootings.

 

A special counsel appointed by the Civilian Oversight Commission released a scathing report in March with recommendations for system-wide changes to the Sheriff’s Department.

A bowling alley, a boozy fight and allegations of a new deputy gang in Los Angeles

 

On a cool February night two years ago, a group of Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies met up at a Montclair bowling alley, drinking to celebrate the promotion of a new sergeant in their ranks.

 

At the end of the evening, the party took a turn. The off-duty deputies picked a fight with a group of teenagers in the parking lot, according to two law enforcement sources and a police report reviewed by The Times. A sergeant started it when he pushed open a car door as he walked past, the report says.

 

Shouting erupted, and one of the deputies allegedly flashed a handgun, according to the report. Some of the others started mocking the teens and shouting obscenities. And before they dispersed, police records show, one deputy punched a 19-year-old in the face.

 

But once the Sheriff’s Department got wind of what happened and started investigating, other troubling details emerged. Two of the men in the group — one deputy and one sergeant — admitted to investigators that they had tattoos officials linked to a deputy gang: the Industry Indians, based out of the City of Industry sheriff’s station, according to a law enforcement source.

New details in shooting of 11-year-old Aderrien Murry emerge from 911 calls

 

A Mississippi 911 dispatcher was told that a man allegedly trying to enter a home last May was unarmed and that there were children inside the residence — where one officer shot and wounded 11-year-old Aderrien Murry, who had called police for help.

 

Carlos Moore, the attorney representing the Murry family, says the recordings he released on Friday "directly contradict the initial police account and raise serious questions about the handling of the situation that led to the tragic shooting."

 

"This crucial information should have been known to the responding officers and should have informed their approach to the situation," Moore said in a statement.

 

Moore released the five minutes of audio recordings to reporters after the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation originally declined to do so.

 

Earlier this week, body camera footage from the incident was also released and obtained by NPR.

 

Neither the Indianola Police Department nor the dispatcher, Jada Rush, responded to NPR's requests for comment following the release of the body camera footage and the recording of the 911 call placed by Aderrien.

 

Last month, a grand jury in Mississippi determined that there was no criminal conduct by the officer, Sgt. Greg Capers, and no further action or charges will be taken against him.

An Ohio official was arrested for speaking at her own meeting. Her rights were violated, judge says

 

An Ohio elected official’s constitutional rights were violated when her colleagues on a county board of commissioners had her arrested for criticizing the sheriff during a public meeting, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

 

Niki Frenchko, the lone Republican on the three-member Trumbull County Board of Commissioners, was placed in handcuffs by sheriff’s deputies at the commissioners’ meeting on July 7, 2022, and charged under an Ohio law that makes it a misdemeanor to “prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting.” The law prohibits obstructive conduct or speech that “outrages the sensibilities of the group.” The charge was later dropped,

 

Frenchko — who livestreamed her arrest on Facebook — subsequently filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, saying she was ordered to leave the meeting and placed under arrest for exercising her First Amendment right to free speech, and that the sheriff’s department lacked probable cause to charge her.

 

U.S. District Judge J. Philip Calabrese agreed.

Bernalillo County deputy arrested for pointing gun at 2 men while off-duty

 

A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office deputy was arrested in connection with an incident that happened at a gas station Wednesday night. It reportedly took place after the deputies’ shift ended, the sheriff’s office claimed.

 

Court documents state that Deputy Michael Borrecco reportedly pointed his gun at two men outside a Circle K at 4400 Osuna NE.

 

“It’s another black eye for law enforcement; it’s been a terrible week. It’s been a terrible month,” said Sheriff John Allen at a news conference Friday.

 

The two men told Albuquerque Police Department officers that they went inside the store to buy items when they first saw Borrecco, who they said had a gun on his person. Surveillance footage from the store reviewed by police showed that Borrecco purchased a 100-ml bottle of vodka, according to court documents.

 

Borrecco was seen on surveillance video getting into a dark-colored truck parked in front of the store. During the new conference, Sheriff Allen stated that Borrecco was in an unmarked BCSO unit at the time.

 

Borrecco addressed the two men on his PA system because he “thought that they [the two men] were doing something they shouldn’t have,” court documents claimed. He reportedly told the men to leave and identified himself as “BSCO.” He also flashed his emergency lights at the men.

 

The men told officers that they left the store and waited outside for their friend, who was about to leave her shift at Circle K. When the men approached Borrecco in his vehicle, he pointed his gun at them and repeatedly said, “I’m going to take your souls,” court documents read.

 

Albuquerque police responded to the Circle K shortly after 11 p.m. for an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. When they made contact with Borrecco, an officer said he smelled of alcohol and that he initially denied that he was armed with a gun.

 

Borrecco was released from temporary custody, and his vehicle was towed away to be searched. Officers seized the following items from Borrecco’s vehicle:

• A handgun with one round in the chamber
• Loaded extended magazine in the handgun with 20 rounds of ammunition
• A spare magazine with 17 rounds of ammo
• 16 empty 100-ml vodka bottles
• Three empty 200-ml vodka bottles
• Two body-worn cameras

Black man was holding sandwiches and keys when an Ohio deputy fatally shot him, prosecutor says

 

 Prosecutors say a gun that a former Ohio sheriff’s deputy said a man was waving at him when he fatally shot him in the back in 2020 was found in the man’s kitchen with the safety on.

 

In his opening statement Wednesday in the murder case against Jason Meade, special prosecutor Gary Shroyer shared publicly for the first time where 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr.’s handgun was discovered. Goodson, who fell when he was shot six times with five shots hitting in the back, also had a gun holster with no strap around his waist, Shroyer said.

 

Meade, who is white, has pleaded not guilty to murder and reckless homicide in the death of Goodson, who was Black. The sheriff’s deputy shot Goodson as he entered his grandmother’s house, police have said.

Man ticketed for shouting expletive at Buffalo officer can sue police, appeals court rules

 

A man who sued Buffalo police after he was ticketed for shouting at an officer to turn on his headlights can move forward with his legal action, an appeals court ruled.

 

The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals last week reversed a ruling by a U.S. district judge in Buffalo who had dismissed the case, saying the officer had reasonable grounds to cite the man for a noise violation after he called out "Turn your lights on," and punctuated the remark with an expletive.

 

The new ruling sends the case back to district court for trial, arguing that the profane statement during the December 2016 encounter might be considered an "eminently reasonable" attempt to avert an accident.

 

R. Anthony Rupp III, a civil rights attorney, said he did not initially intend to sue over the incident, but changed his mind after learning the same officers were involved two months later in the arrest of an unarmed man who died of an asthma attack after struggling while being handcuffed.

 

A 2017 investigation by the attorney general's office found insufficient evidence to warrant criminal charges against Officers Todd McAlister and Nicholas Parisi in the death of 20-year-old Wardel "Meech" Davis.

As an aside, I don't understand why it's even an option to not have your headlights on.  The technology is there, and has been for years.  Make automatic headlights mandatory so that they come on when it's dark and/or when the wipers are on.  People don't need the choice to not have their lights on.  It's a safety issue.

Easily the dumbest cop video you’ll see all week. An acorn falls out of a tree onto a car and the cop thinks it’s gunfire. He does ****ing barrel rolls, shooting wildly at someone he just arrested inside his car, and even falsely claims he was shot. Again, it was an acorn.

At least that cop has been fired so hopefull won't shoot someone next time a car backfires.

 

He should be charged with attempted manslaughter.

"Luckily, both cops missed every shot."

 

 

I just....I don't have words. I'm glad they didn't kill the guy who wasn't shooting at them, but holy ****. "Cops fire blindly, empty their entire clips, not a single bullet hits the target they were allegedly aiming at" is a positive headline. Good thing that bullets fired by police just ****ing disappear into thin air once the target is missed. Thank God it was just an acorn and not a Walnut or the entire town might have been bombed like Philly in the 80s.

^so many things

 

what or who exactly was the target?

 

if the target was the vehicle, it didn’t look like they even broke glass

 

She has quite the attire for law enforcement interaction with the public

 

she, who doesn’t have a vest on, just walks up the middle of the street like Wyatt Earp an unloads.  “Cover, don’t need no stinking cover.”

 

”I might have been hit idk”.  If you’re  hit, even with a vest on, it doesn’t exactly tickle.

Pa. cop stored child porn at his Jersey Shore vacation home, police allege

 

A Pennsylvania sheriff’s officer was arrested through an investigation into child pornography being stored digitally at a Jersey Shore vacation home, authorities said.

 

Police located explicit material allegedly belonging to James C. Buckley on his iCloud account following a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday.

 

Buckley, 57, is a member of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. He’s listed as a Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania resident who owns property in Wildwood, the prosecutor’s office said.

 

He was taken to Cape May County jail and charged with endangering the welfare of a child over the content, authorities said. Attorney information for Buckley was not available Wednesday.

 

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday it learned of the charges on Tuesday, and immediately suspended Buckley under agency policy.

 

“As an agency committed to upholding the law and maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability, we take these allegations extremely seriously,” the sheriff’s office officials said in a statement.

 

Cape May County authorities alleged that Buckley both spread and stored sex material through the cloud service.

In the middle of arresting Carlos Sandoval-Smith on DWI charges in June, Albuquerque police officer Joshua Montaño took off his lapel camera. From then on, much of what the two said to each other was inaudible in the recording.

“‘I have to take you in, but I have a lawyer friend who can get you off of this.’ Those were the exact words that he gave,” Sandoval-Smith told the Journal in an interview Thursday.

“I didn’t know what to think. It was confusing to me that he was arresting me but offering me help at the same time. ... So that totally just threw me off.”
