Raleigh, Durham Police Involved in Assault Case
(07/22/06 - RALEIGH) -
Raleigh police are investigating an alleged assault outside a nightclub that involved Durham police officers, authorities said Saturday.
In addition to the criminal probe of Thursday's incident, Durham police Chief Steven Chalmers said his office is investigating.
No police report of the incident was on record at the Raleigh police department Saturday.
Chalmers said no criminal charges have been filed against anyone from his department and that the names of the officers allegedly involved in the incident aren't being released because of confidentiality issues.
"We have a strict code of conduct and we expect every member of our department to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times," Chalmers said in a statement.
A Raleigh police spokesman did not immediately return a message Saturday seeking comment. Calls to Durham's city manager were also not returned.
"Raleigh police are investigating an alleged assault outside a nightclub that involved Durham police officers, authorities said Saturday."
OK, are they getting a $500 fine, 30-days' suspended sentence, and 6 months' probation? (And THAT's only for the ones whose "assault" was only verbal, no blows struck).
Plus a two-day trial conducted by 2 government/state attorneys?
Surely that is requisite, right? (sacr/off)
Hooligans.
In addition to the criminal probe of Thursday's incident, Durham police Chief Steven Chalmers said his office is investigating.
Hopefully, your department will do a better job in this investigation than it has in its investigations into the illegal sex trade over the last few years.
No police report of the incident was on record at the Raleigh police department Saturday.
Then we'll wait. Believe me, we ARE interested.
Chalmers said no criminal charges have been filed against anyone from his department and that the names of the officers allegedly involved in the incident aren't being released because of confidentiality issues.
Here's an idea-- have Crime Stoppers make up posters with the Durham Police officers' pictures, and pass them around neighborhoods in Raleigh and Durham.
