92. NEWARK - Two Newark Police officers received disciplinary sanctions for their actions, according to a quarterly review of internal investigations conducted by the department. Officer Derrick Beach received a 20 hour suspension without pay and his probationary period with the department was extended by nine months following an investigation. The investigation was a result of concerns raised by fellow officers related to Beach's conduct when arresting a suspect on April 12. According to the investigation, Beach and other officers had been involved in a foot pursuit with the suspect. When the suspect was caught, multiple officers were involved in subduing him and placing him under arrest. Officers involved reported Beach had punched the suspect in the stomach area after he had been subdued, according to the investigation documents. Beach said he struck the suspect in an effort to subdue him before he was handcuffed and while the suspect was actively resisting, according to the investigation. Beach reported the incident to a deputy chief who responded to the scene. There was no dash camera footage available of the incident to determine at what point Beach punched the suspect, according to the investigation. The investigation said Beach may have used reasonable force if the suspect was not yet in custody.

94. Horry County, SC A former Horry County police detective accused of sexually assaulting crime victims insists he will reject a plea deal offered by the S.C. Attorney General’s Office. The attorney general’s office offered plea deals to Large as well as to former HCPD officers Darryl Williams, Todd Cox and Luke Green. The other three officers were indicted at the same time Large was last year, although on unrelated charges. If Large doesn’t agree to a plea deal, his case would be the first to go to court during the week of Sept. 18, said Robert Kittle, spokesman for the attorney general’s office. Whether the other cases go to court has not been determined.
95. For years, past police chiefs and city attorneys have vigorously fended off critics who called Portland police Capt. Mark Kruger a "Nazi sympathizer." They said he was simply a history buff who collected military memorabilia and had belonged to a World War II reenactment club. But now, a Portland commander and a Portland Police Performance Review Board have found Kruger brought "discredit and disgrace upon the Bureau and the City," by building a public tribute to five Nazi-era German soldiers at a city park while employed by the police bureau. During the course of the police investigation, Internal Affairs investigator Mike Barkley learned the city attorney's office had stashed away the plaques in a litigation file for at least six years.
    But the city had never initiated an investigation into what they were for or why Kruger put them up until the city got pressure from Robert Seaver, a former friend of Kruger's who dogged city officials with explosive e-mails, interviews with the media and an embarrassing YouTube video featuring Kruger posing in German uniforms. Former police Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who said he was alarmed there hadn't been a prior in-depth inquiry, last October called for an internal investigation of Kruger. Seaver filed a formal complaint with the Independent Police Review Division the next month. Both prompted the Police Bureau's first, wide-ranging internal investigation of Kruger and a sustained violation. Now, a former Portland attorney who had sued the city and Kruger in federal court, and Seaver, accuse the city attorney's office of a "cover up." The police Performance Review Board found Kruger nailed "memorial plaques" of five Nazi soldiers as a shrine to a tree on the east side of Rocky Butte Park sometime between 1999 and 2001, according to a letter Internal Affairs Capt. Ed Brumfield sent to Seaver.
96. The lawman who once boasted he was "America's toughest sheriff," could find himself behind bars after a federal judge found him guilty of criminal contempt on Monday. Former Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was accused of violating a court order in a racial profiling case by continuing patrols targeting immigrants. US District Court Judge Susan Bolton handed down her verdict in court papers signed on Monday. Bolton wrote that Arpaio knew of the court order and what it meant for his department's policy of detaining immigrants to turn them over to federal immigration authorities. But the evidence showed "a flagrant disregard" for the order, Bolton wrote. "Not only did defendant abdicate responsibility, he announced to the world and to his subordinates that he was going to continue business as usual no matter who said otherwise," Bolton wrote. Arpaio has contended the order wasn't clear and he didn't intend to violate it. Arpaio's defense attorney has argued that Arpaio's former attorney "dropped the ball" and didn't clearly explain the order or seek clarification from the federal judge who issued it. Federal prosecutors alleged his defiance was deliberate, and something he believed he could get away with.
