According to testimony and documents in the City of Rochester Disciplinary Records, a woman had been hit by her ex-boyfriend in a car earlier in the day injuring her foot and had gotten home from the hospital when the ex-boyfriend showed up at her door with Officers Johnson and McNees. According to her testimony, she refused to allow her ex-boyfriend into her residence--the officers told her that they were going to allow her ex-boyfriend to break in to the residence, despite being informed several times that the ex-boyfriend did not live there. The officers gave the ex-boyfriend instructions on how to break into the apartment.
Outcome
Officer Johnson pled guilty to a violation of RPD rules and regulations and was suspended (unpaid) for one day. The victim received 100,000 in a lawsuit settlement. |
