Massena Mayor and ex-Police Chief Timmy Currier Arrested for Drugs

Curreny Massena Mayor Timmy J. Currier led police on a highspeed chase, threw crack cocaine out his windows, and was arrested at gun point during an undercover drug investigation. He was charged with a misdemeanor for possession of a controlled substance. Before becoming Mayor he was chief of the Massena Police Department for two decades. He announced yesterday that he is taking a voluntary leave of absence from his job to seek professional help. His full statement reads as follows: "Some time ago, I made some poor decisions that unfortunately led me down a path resulting in my arrest on Tuesday, December 1st. I cannot express how embarrassed and disappointed in myself and for my family and friends. I want to apologize to my family and friends who continue to show me unconditional love during these difficult times. Please remember that the Village of Massena employees and staff do incredible work for this community each and every day. My poor decisions should not reflect negatively upon them in any way. I have spent 32 years in public service working for the citizens of Massena and the North Country. I have always appreciated their trust and support. I hope and pray that I will have an opportunity to regain that trust. This morning I informed Deputy Mayor Matt LeBire and Village Administrator Monique Chatland that I will be taking a leave of absence from my position as Village of Massena Mayor, so I can seek professional treatment. Deputy Mayor LeBire will serve as acting Mayor in my absence. I ask that you respect my familys privacy during this difficult time." - Timmy J. Currier #timmycurrier #cocaine #crack #drugs

Birmingham Police Officer Gregory Irvin Arrested for Elderly Abuse

Birmingham Police Officer Gregory Irvin has been jailed on a charge of elder exploitation listed in jail records as "elderly abuse/neglect: financial exploitation greater than $100." He is currently listed as a "pretrial inmate" on the Jefferson County Jail website, but the charge says that he "bonded out" and he has a release date of listed as 12/3 so he obviously is not still in jail (https://ift.tt/3ojRiw4). The jail website and a press release issued by the Birmingham Police Department (BPD) say that he was being held on a $30,000 bond. The press release also said that the amount he is accused of stealing exceeds $2,500 even thought the jail website says the amount was greater than $100. The bulk of the press release reads as follows: "On October 22, 2020, The Department of Human Resources alerted the Birmingham Police Department of a case filed with their agency on October 16, 2020 involving Gregory Irvin. The Birmingham Police Department took immediate action and relieved Irvin of his duties as a patrol officer pending an internal and criminal investigation. The preliminary investigation suggest Irvin exploited an elderly relative. Detectives with the Birmingham Police Departments Crimes against Property Division presented the case to the Jefferson County District Attorneys Office for review. After an assessment, Detectives obtained warrant for Financial Exploitation of the Elderly First Degree. Gregory Irvin has been taken into custody and will be held in the custody of the Jefferson County Jail with a $30,000 bond. A person commits the crime of financial exploitation of the elderly in the first degree if he/she takes the property of any elderly person in the value of which exceeds $2500." The release also states that Officer Irvin has been with the BPD since April of 2017 and was assigned to the Patrol Division at the time of his arrest, but concludes with the false statement "The Birmingham Police department will continue to hold officers to a high ethical and moral standard." The Jefferson County Jail website contains the following information about Officer Irvin: Name: IRVIN, GREGORY LEWIS Subject Number: 997045 Date of Birth: 01/19/1991 Age: 29 Gender: Male Race: B Height: 5' 10" Weight: 215.0 lbs Booking Date: 12/2/2020 4:36 PM Release Date: 12/3/2020 2:32 AM Prisoner Type: Pretrial Inmate Classification: Housing Facility Total Bond Amount: $0.00 Total Bail Amount: $0.00 Booking Origin: Birmingham PD Bond Number: 2020-00015521 Bond Type: Good Bond Bond Amount: $30,000.00 Charge: ELDERLY ABUSE/NEGLECT: FINAN EXPL > $100 Offense Date: 7/29/2020 12:00 AM Docket Number: 202000210 Disposition: Bonded Out Disposition Date: 12/3/2020 Crime Class: Not applicable Attempt/Commit: Committed Bond: 2020-00015521 #gregoryirvin #elderlyabuse #exploitation #

Williamsburg County Jail CO Keondra Snow Arrested for Sex with Inmate

Former Williamsburg County Detention Center (WCDC) Correctional Officer Keondra Kenetha Snow was arrested today for having sex with an inmate according to a press release issued by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). The incident took place on September 30th when Snow was working as a "jail officer" at WCDC. According to SLED the investigation began at the request of the sheriff and the case is being prosecuted by the 3rd Circuit Solicitor's Office. According to a sworn affidavit written for the court by Ashley Jolda: "On 9/30/2020, one Keondra Kenetha Snow did unlawfully have sexual intercourse with Khalil Williams inside the Williamsburg County Detention Center. At the time, Snow was a certified Correctional Officer employed by the Williamsburg County Sheriff's Office with the statutory responsibility for inmates confined in the Williamsburg Detention Center. Williams was an inmate confined in the Detention Center, under the supervision of Snow. Snow admitted to the act of sexual intercourse with Williams, while on duty. This violation taking place at Williamsburg County Detention Center, in Williamsburg County, South Carolina. Sexual Misconduct with an Inmate is in violation of South Carolina Code of Laws, section 44-23-1150 as amended. " We found Keondra Snow's Facebook profile (https://ift.tt/36yPIAE) which contained the above images. Several comments were posted in response to her posts by a woman with the same last name as the man she had sex with at the jail (ex: https://ift.tt/3lwElNx) but we don't think she is related to Khalil Williams. Media reports say that one Khalil Raheem Williams was arrested by Williamsburg County deputies for attempted murder in 2018. Serious cases like that can take a long time to resolve, so we think that is probably the same Khalil Williams that Snow had sex with (https://ift.tt/2Jyh94B). On Facebook, Snow lists her hometown as Morrisville which is in the same area as addresses she is listed under in public records. Morrisville is barely on the map, so we are not sure why she lists it as her hometown when public records show that she is a 26 year old female that resided in Andrews, South Carolina before she was booked into the same jail that she used to work at. The irony of that is certainly not lost on the inmates who surely rejoice at the sight of a former guard wearing inmate clothes. Snow is most likely being held in protective custody because former correctional officers are always targets in jail. Ex-cops are typically placed on what is called "walk alone" status. Inmates on "walk alone" status rarely get out of their cells from more than two hours a day or less, but that varies from jail to jail. When they do get out of their cells no other inmates are allowed out with them. They are also housed in single cells. It is the worst way for someone to do their time, but it is the only way to keep former law enforcement assets safe in correctional institutions. Some might wonder why inmates would hate an officer that is in there for doing them favors. The reason is that no amount of favors whether they be in the from of drugs or sex can change the fact that every correctional officer engages in activities that hurt inmates more than helping them. Every correctional officer has used force on an inmate, helped gather information for prosecutors, and played an indispensable role needed by the state to keep people locked up. There is nothing a correctional officer can do for inmates to fully make up for what they do to them. #keondrasnow #khalilwilliams #sexualmisconduct #jailsex #facebook

Austin Police Officer Ryan Seweryn Suspended for Homophobic Remark

Austin Police Officer Ryan Seweryn has received a 10 day suspension for calling a Black Lives Matter protester "that gay dude with the short shorts in the black shirt." The incident took place at a Black Lives Matter protest back in May. Footage from Sewerlyn's body camera caught Seweryn making the comment to his fellow officers when describing a protester. The comment has been called a harmful stereotype by internal affairs investigators who said that by uttering it Officer Seweryn breached the department's "responsibility to the community." Officer Sewerlyn defended his comments to investigators saying "If there was a male in feminine clothing I would describe that individual as gay ... in order for my fellow officers to identify the individual," while at the same time denying that he assumes a person's sexual orientation based on how they dress, but "the individual's clothing was consistent with the clothing styles he believed people wore at Gay Pride parades." He insisted that his comment was a "description of the clothing of the person, not a physical description of the person themselves," while at the same time admitting on the radio that he would not feel comfortable doing that again. When questioned about police academy training Seweryn admitted that he was never trained to use the word "gay" when describing someone and that he never referred to a subject as a "straight dude." He will finish serving his suspension on December 5th. This is Seweryn's second suspension this fall. In September he was suspended over a meme he sent via text message to officers during his shift. The meme was described by the APD as a booking photo of a fellow APD employee who was 17 years old at the time the photo was taken. The caption included with the image in the meme was not quoted by the APD in the memo regarding the incident. They did say that the employee was embarrassed and that Seweryn violated several APD policies coving privacy of criminal records and conduct generally considered acceptable behavior. Public records list one Ryan David Seweryn as 26 years of age. #ryanseweryn #homophobic #blacklivesmatter #shortshorts #bodycams

Manitou Springs Police Officer Jacob Carley Arrested for Revenge Porn

Manitou Springs Police Officer Jacob Carley has been arrested for revenge porn after posting nude pictures of a woman he was dating on his Tumblr blog. The woman told police that she personally took the photos of herself for Carley while they were dating, but that she never intended for them to be seen by anyone else and she never gave anyone permission to post them online. Carley was booked into jail on a misdemeanor charge of posting a private image for harassment in violation of Colorado Revised Statute 18-7-107. Carley's arrest is possible due to recent legislation outlawing revenge porn. This charge is just the latest levied against Carley. As a provider of online services this author is familiar with revenge porn. I first encountered the problem shortly after launching my first website when someone posted what would otherwise have been a perfectly acceptable complaint about a woman had the author not chosen to include a nude image with the complaint. That website like most I have been involved with prohibited all forms of nude images so it was easy to find that author in violation of the usage terms and remove the content as soon as I became aware of it. That was back in 2009 and back then I never would have thought that the author may have committed a crime by posting the image because the law did not distinguish between nude and non-nude images of adults. As a result posting a nude image of an individual without their consent was widely considered a form of free speech unless it was associated with conduct that by itself would constitute a crime. Conduct such as harassment. People could get away with posting revenge porn simply by claiming that they were doing it for the purpose of criticizing the person in the image. People would create posts calling people ugly and including a nude photo as proof. Then they would say that they were exercising their First Amendment right to criticize someone for being ugly with proof. That is why revenge porn laws are basically just extensions of existing harassment laws. Law such as CRS 18-7-107 (https://ift.tt/2Jf74K1) must have language such as "With the intent to harass, intimidate, or coerce the depicted person" in order to overcome free speech defenses. In Colorado the term "harass" means "intentionally bothering, annoying, or alarming someone" (https://ift.tt/2KPdjEt). That language means that although the act of posting an intimate image without consent might not be a crime that one need only show that the act was done to bother the other person in order to criminalize the act. Such language draws a clear line between harassment of private people and the publishing of newsworthy images. For instance, it does not make it a crime for a tabloid to post nude images of a celebrity without their consent because such an act is clearly done for commercial purposes without regard for the impact it has on the person in the photo, but it would be fairly easy to show that posting a private intimate image of a private person in a non-commercial way could only be done with the intent to bother that person. It could still leave the door open for non-criminal commercial publications like Girls Gone Wild videos because the subjective intent of such publishers is to make money and not to bother the people they are exploiting. The line between free speech and criminal harassment has to be drawn at the subjective intent of the speaker while recognizing that posting an image with the knowledge that it will bother the person in itself is not the same as posting it for some other purpose without regard for the impact it has on the person. Cases like Officer Jacob Casey posting the private image of an ex-flame on a Tumblr blog that he does not make any money off of is a textbook case of posting a private image that could have no other intent but to harass. Carley told police that he had posted the images a week after they had broken up because he thought she was "hot" and didn't think she would see them because she had recently deleted her Tumblr account. Carley's explanation seems like something someone in his position familiar with the law would say. His self-serving statements were clearly made in preparation for a defense that his intent was not to harass his ex. I foresee his attorney arguing that he posted them online to share with friends on a platform that he thought she did not use anymore. I don't think a reasonable jury would buy that story. I think that most people including Officer Carley would know that deleting her Tumblr account did nothing to stop her from finding out about public posts made by other Tumblr users. If she had Google Alerts setup for her name she would get an email from Google saying that someone posted her name on Tumblr as soon as Google Bot found her name anywhere on the internet. The timing of the breakup and the publication is also problematic for Carley. Posting the nudes so soon after breaking up is an act far more likely to be motivated by spite than wanting his buddies to see just how hot that chick he banged was. To his credit his explanation is technically possible, but not likely and jurors are people that can see through such denials. According to media reports (see video below), Carley was twice convicted of assault and sentenced to probation in northern Colorado in 2013 and 2015. We are not sure what circumstances surrounded those cases. He has been with the Manitou Springs Police Department (MSPD) since 2018, so we think he may have gotten those records expunged or at least treated as misdemeanors or violations after completing his probation terms. Still, we are surprised to see that someone with two recent assault convictions could be hired as a police officer anywhere. The MSPD released a statement denouncing Carley on their Facebook page (https://ift.tt/3mphEMH) which reads as follows: "Yesterday, Manitou Springs Police Officer Jacob Carley was arrested on charges of violating Section 18-7-107 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. He has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal and internal investigations. As these investigations are ongoing I am not at liberty to provide further details. I can state the alleged conduct leading to the officers arrest did not occur during the performance of his law enforcement duties nor was it within the scope of his employment. Our actions and responsibilities related to investigating complaints against police officers are guided by State Statute and internal policy.
