More about Conroy:
Conroy participated in a similar raid on May 15 when he and the conditions unit raided a basement warehouse on West 28th Street in Manhattan. The raid produced the arrest of one suspected counterfeiter and the seizure of more than 20,000 bootleg discs and tapes.Conroy's other notable collars include the arrest of Farris Summers, a 54-year-old man who was found with a huge cache of weapons and Xanax anti-anxiety tablets when the conditions unit executed a search warrant in his Dongan Hills home on Nov. 1, 2002.
Conroy and his partner, John Downey, also nabbed a 19-year-old New Brighton man just minutes after the teen robbed a man at gunpoint at the corner of Bay Street and Victory Boulevard in Tompkinsville on Feb. 14, 2002.
Downey and Conroy also been embroiled in a controversy in April 2002 when an unidentified thief stole a book of blank summons forms from their patrol car while it was parked outside the 120th Precinct stationhouse in St. George.
Two summonses taken from the stolen book were later found placed inside the official summons box at the 120th Precinct's main desk. Disparaging comments about a pair of police supervisors had been written on the two summonses.
The theft and the subsequent discovery of the disparaging comments prompted an internal police investigation, but no disciplinary action was ever announced.
