Sgt. Jesse Garcia, a Minneapolis police spokesman, said Assam worked at the department from March 1993 to November 1997, when she was fired for lying during an internal investigation.
Sgt. John Delmonico, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, said police were investigating a complaint that Assam swore at a bus driver while she was handling an incident on a city bus.
Delmonico said Assam was dealing with an incident on the bus and for some reason she swore at the bus driver as she
exited the bus. The bus driver became angry and filed a complaint.
“In giving a statement about the incident, she was untruthful and she was fired,” Delmonico said. The swearing was caught on tape, he said. “The union arbitrated the case and the arbitrator upheld the termination.”
What is the point of posting those reports of Ms. Assam’s past sins? She saved dozens of lives! Do you want to tarnish anybody who does good?
