Off-duty Baltimore detective charged for bringing gun to ACC game
GREENSBORO, N.C. — An off-duty Baltimore police detective has been charged for bringing a concealed pistol into an Atlantic Coast Conference tournament game, where he was shot in the hip when the gun fired accidentally, police said.
The gun discharged about midway through the second half of Maryland's 87-86 win against Wake Forest in the quarterfinals at the Greensboro Coliseum. No other injuries were reported.
Darren I. Sanders, 37, was treated and released from a hospital, said Greensboro police spokeswoman Amy Frazier. He is charged with carrying a gun into an assembly where admission is charged.
Baltimore police will investigate and determine whether Sanders should be disciplined, said spokesman Troy Harris.
"The most that he's going to look at is a citation," Harris said.
Sanders came to the game with Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti. Chad Steele, a Ravens spokesman, denied earlier reports that Sanders was working as Bisciotti's bodyguard.
"His friend is fine. It was an accident," Steele said.
Maryland coach Gary Williams said he didn't know what had happened at first.
"Then when I found out and they stopped play, I was worried because it was when we were playing well," he said. "But the refs did a great job of keeping the players involved with what was going on the court and not what was going on off of it."
Sanders was sitting two rows from the floor near the Wake Forest bench, on the opposite side of the court from where North Carolina Sen. John Edwards had sat hours before during a game between North Carolina and Georgia Tech.
The Atlantic Coast Conference issued a statement early Saturday commending the coliseum staff, police and emergency officials for their "swift and efficient handling of this isolated incident."
Coliseum officials said Saturday they will use metal detectors at the gates for the rest of the tournament and apologized for the inconvenience.
"However, the safety of our patrons and student athletes is of the utmost priority," the statement said.

Birmingham officer accused of sexual assault
03/18/04
CAROL ROBINSON
News staff writer
A Birmingham police officer is under investigation amid allegations he sexually assaulted a victim when he responded to a domestic violence call at the woman's home last month.
It is at least the second such accusation lodged against North Precinct Officer Clarence Harris in recent years.
Harris was suspended in 2000, and the City of Birmingham paid thousands of dollars last year after a woman made similar claims against Harris.
Police Chief Annetta Nunn said Wednesday that Harris is still employed by the department. She said an internal investigation is under way.
The allegation against Harris comes one week after another Birmingham police officer and two Bessemer police officers were indicted on rape and sodomy charges in an unrelated case.
"We're concerned about inappropriate conduct anytime," Nunn said. "We don't condone it."
Birmingham resident Andrea Yearby, 45, said police were called to her 14th Avenue North home about 8 p.m. Feb. 27, when she and her husband got into an argument.
Her husband left to cool off, she said, and she was left alone with Harris. The officer told her she had three outstanding arrest warrants, which she disputed, and then said to her, "What do you think I should do about it?"
At that point, Yearby claims, the officer put his hand up her shirt and fondled her breast. He then exposed himself to her, she said, and asked if she had a condom.
"It took all I could to get him away from me," Yearby said in an interview Wednesday.
Yearby said she called Harris' supervisor in February and then gave a statement this week to investigators.
"I'm still just so nervous," she said. "I talk to my husband about it every day because nothing like this has ever happened."
In the 2000 incident, Harris and another officer were on patrol when they spotted a man fiddling with an electric meter, according to court documents. One of the officers detained the man, while Harris went upstairs to talk to the man's 18-year-old girlfriend, according to court documents. The woman said Harris ordered her to unzip her jacket and shined his flashlight on her chest for an extended period of time. He also, according to court records, ordered her to pull down her panties.
Former Police Chief Mike Coppage suspended Harris for 20 days in that incident, and the City of Birmingham in August 2003 settled the woman's lawsuit for $25,000.

| Quote: | Court ruse lands cops behind bars
A court in the Egyptian city of Luxor has sentenced seven policemen to six months each in prison for an attempt to impersonate a suspect at a trial.
The officers resorted to the ruse after their detainee's embarrassing escape from custody on the eve of his court appearance on drug charges in 2000.
They persuaded a colleague to pose as Mohammed Sami, but another defendant who knew him gave the game away.
Sami, who was later recaptured, was finally sentenced to 10 years inside.
An eighth policeman implicated in the case was acquitted at Wednesday's trial.

It really does make you think of the police in the Simpsons:
| Quote: | 11-Year-Old Girl Finds Loaded Gun In Used Car
Family Wants Former Police Chief Disciplined
POSTED: 6:42 pm EST March 19, 2004
UPDATED: 6:51 pm EST March 19, 2004
ELYRIA, Ohio -- An 11-year-old girl found a loaded gun in a used car, and her family wants disciplinary action taken against the former police chief who owns it, reported NewsChannel5.
Houssain Mishkin, of Grafton, said his daughter, Layla, found a loaded .38-caliber revolver in a 1998 Toyota Camry he purchased two weeks ago.
The car was bought at Twining Auto Sales, and was formerly owned by former Oberlin Police Chief Robert Jones, who worked for the department for 30 years.
According to an Elyria police report, Jones lost track of the gun and it was left in the back pouch of the car's seat when he sold it.
Four months later, Mishkin purchased the car, and his daughter pulled the gun out of the pouch while the family was on the road.
Mishkin is upset no disciplinary action was taken against Jones, who is now head of security at Oberlin College.
"As a family man, as a businessman, I think he's really irresponsible," said Mishkin.
The gun has been returned to Jones. Elyria police say the revolver was his personal weapon and not his service revolver. |

UK police can be as bad-
Policeman Sentenced For Raping Drunk Teen
'Pc Ian Tolmaer, 36, from Prescot, Merseyside, UK, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to rape charges. He had been a probationary officer with Merseyside Police.
The 18-year-old victim was "rotten drunk" witnesses said when Tolmaer took her to his home. He first raped her and then videoed her while she was unconscious.
While the victim slept, Tolmaer took digital photos of her. The photos and video were found when police raided Tolmaer's home. '
Also this idiot
| Quote: | | Gary Hart, 34, a married father of two, picked up Jane Davies in Bolton's red light district while he was in a marked traffic car working for Greater Manchester police. He took her to Castle Street police station, where she performed a sex act on him, but he did not pay her |
I wonder if she'd have kept her mouth shut (sic) if he'd paid up? |

On the general misbehaving police front:
| Quote: | Police deny banana torture
John Aglionby
Friday April 2, 2004
The Guardian
Cambodian police have been accused of using bananas to extract confessions from two alleged soap powder thieves.
Officers in the Prampii Makara district of the capital, Phnom Penh, allegedly force-fed bananas to two teenagers detained on Sunday until they felt so sick they confessed to stealing five bags of soap powder from a car.
Captain Yim Simony yesterday admitted officers gave the fruit to the young men but insisted nothing improper happened.
"Of course it was not torture," he said. "These teenagers were hungry and refused to answer any questions until they had eaten something. So we gave them the bananas and then they cooperated."
He refused to name the suspects or give further details, other than that the young men would be prosecuted.
Diplomats and analysts are not convinced, saying force-feeding was used by the Khmer Rouge regime, which ruled the country from 1975-79, when 1.7 million people were killed or died.
"I very much doubt they did it out of the kindness of their hearts," said one analyst.
"It's not as if these suspects had been in custody for a long time and were expecting a meal. The Cambodian police are not known for their generosity in such situations."
One diplomat said: "I guess old habits die hard. |

Not quite cops but I thin security gaurds also count in this context.
| Quote: | Crooks trick guards out of 2k
From correspondents in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
April 23, 2004
ROBBERS distracted three Malaysian security guards by throwing a handful of bank notes on the ground, then ran off with a bag of cash containing 1 million ringgit (2,000) when the guards stooped to pick them up, police said.
The embarrassed guards waited two hours before reporting the robbery to police, after searching for the culprits themselves at one of Kuala Lumpur's most popular shopping malls, newspapers cited police as saying.
The guards had picked up the bag of cash from a bank in the mall and had placed it on the floor as they waited for an elevator to take them back to their security van, assistant police commissioner Hadi Ho Abdullah was cited as saying in The Star newspaper.
As they waited, a group of men approached the guards and one dropped a wad of notes on the floor.
“They saw several 1 ringgit notes strewn on the floor and went to pick them up, thinking they were from the bag,” Hadi was quoted as saying. “After picking up the notes, they turned around and found the bag containing the 1 million ringgit missing.”
Hadi said the guards managed to catch one suspected member of the robbery group, who they alleged were South Americans.
Hadi said the suspect had been detained for questioning, and a full investigation was under way.
“I would also like to advise security guards that they should not be so gullible,” Hadi said. “They must always ensure that the money they are carrying is always in their grasp or view.” |

| Quote: | Gun safety presenter shoots self
Saturday, May 1, 2004 Posted: 1611 GMT (0011 HKT)
ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- A federal drug agent shot himself in the leg during a gun safety presentation to children in what police describe as an accident. His bosses, however, are still investigating the incident.
The Drug Enforcement Administration agent, whose name was not released, was speaking April 9 to about 50 adults and students organized by the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association, witnesses and police said.
He drew his .40-caliber duty weapon and removed the magazine, according to the police report. He then pulled back the slide and asked an audience member to look inside the gun and confirm it wasn't loaded.
Witnesses said when the agent released the slide, one shot fired into the top of his left thigh. The gun was pointed at the floor.
The agent was treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center and returned to work, a DEA official said. |

Passive soliciting?
| Quote: | French cop arrested in fishnet tights, nothing else
Friday, May 7, 2004 Posted: 2228 GMT (0628 HKT)
PARIS, France (Reuters) -- A French policeman faces trial in a police court for driving under the influence after he was stopped at the wheel of his car drunk and wearing only a pair of fishnet tights, a prosecutor said Friday.
The man admitted he was a part-time prostitute after fellow police chased him through the Bois de Boulogne, a wooded area on the outskirts of Paris reputed as a nighttime hangout of transsexual prostitutes, in the early hours of Thursday.
The policeman said he needed the extra income. If convicted, he could lose his driver's license and be fined.
Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence to try him for passive soliciting, which is punishable by prison in France. |

| Quote: | Polish police accidentally use live bullets to break up fight, killing one
03:58 PM EDT May 10
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Police mistakenly opened fire with live ammunition to stop a street fight in a central Polish city, killing a 19-year-old man and wounding three others, officials said Sunday.
A 23-year-old woman was in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head and two others were seriously wounded in the violence late Saturday in Lodz. The shootings prompted Lodz police chief Jan Feja and his deputy, Sylwester Stepien, to resign. Lodz Mayor Jerzy Kropiwnicki called for three days of mourning.
The fighting began when a group of soccer fans, apparently angered when their team lost a match, attacked some students. The attackers threw stones and bottles at police as they arrived.
Police responded by firing rubber bullets to disperse the fighters. But some officers accidentally reloaded with live ammunition and fired six rounds before realizing their mistake, deputy national police chief Henryk Tokarski told Poland's PAP news agency. Four people were hit.
Krzysztof Piatkowski, an emergency official in the city, said as many as 70 people were injured and 19 people detained in Saturday's disturbances.
Polish media reported that the soccer fans were returning from a match in which local team Widzew Lodz lost 2-1 to rival Gornik Zabrze when they started attacking the students. |

Buyer of retired Kern County squad car finds bomb in trunk
Associated Press
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - The buyer of a retired Kern County sheriff's squad car discovered it was equipped with an unexpected extra - a bomb.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Department bomb squad used a robot to remove the explosive from the trunk of the Ford Crown Victoria and the demolition team blew it up.
"We don't know if they forgot to remove it before auction or if it was placed there after the fact," police Sgt. Joe May said Wednesday. Investigators were trying to determine the source of the pipe bomb.
Shawn Weiss, 39, of Thousand Oaks said he was pleasantly surprised when he found a flashlight in the decommissioned sheriff's cruiser, which he bought Monday at a police auction in Los Angeles. He was examining the car at a self-service car wash on Donville Avenue.
But he then noticed a wire snaked from the orange flashlight to an orange plastic tube with the words, "Highly Explosive When Detonated."
"I went ahead and slowly put it back down," Weiss said.
Police were called, and officers agreed it looked like a bomb, so the bomb squad was notified. A robot removed the device and it was detonated.
No one was hurt.
Kern County sheriff's Cmdr. Marty Williamson said he was confident the bomb did not come from his agency.
"I find it hard to believe that it originated here," said Williamson, who is in charge of the sheriff's patrol vehicles. He said at least three people examine each vehicle being sold for auction to remove any reusable equipment such as radios or spare tires.
"One of our people would have found it, because it would have been easily noticeable," he said. "We would have taken care of it here before it left our facilities." |
