SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY OF POLICE OFFICER RENNY SHELBY, BADGE 1439, ASSIGNED TO NARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT

On May 11, 2008, the Internal Affairs Alert Team was directed to respond to the Southfield Police Department regarding the arrest of Police Officer Renny Shelby, badge 1439, assigned to Narcotics Enforcement.

On May 10, 2008, at approximately 3:10 A.M., at a private residence in Southfield, Michigan, officers responded to a possible home invasion in progress. Upon arrival the officers observed Officer Shelby standing near his vehicle. He walked around his vehicle with his hands in the air and informed the officers that he was a Detroit police officer and that his handgun was in his left front pocket. Officer Shelby then stated, "I just ruined my career." When the officers asked why, he advised them to talk to the complainant.

The officers approached the residence and observed damage to the front door of the location and part of the lock was lying on the floor. The complainant stated that she was lying in bed with her friend when her cellular telephone began to ring. A short time later she heard knocking at her front door and then kicking. The complainant called 911. As the complainant was talking to the operator, her ex-boyfriend, Officer Shelby entered her bedroom and pulled out a black handgun and pointed it at her. The complainant informed Officer Shelby that she was on the telephone with the police.

Officer Shelby grabbed the telephone and threw it to the floor. After exchanging a few more words with the complainant, Officer Shelby walked out of the bedroom and proceeded to the living room to take his son. Officer Shelby returned to the complainant's bedroom, grabbed her by the arms and threw her onto the bed. Officer Shelby lifted the complainant's nightgown up and advised her friend that he had been intimate with her two weeks prior. The complainant pushed Officer Shelby away and continued to argue with him. Officer Shelby advised the officers that he had finished work at 2:00 A.M., and was hanging out around the complainant's home because he was concerned about his son and the fact the complainant was seeing other men. He stated that he knocked on the door and the complainant did not answer so he kicked it in. The officers noted that Officer Shelby appeared to be intoxicated. Officer Shelby was arrested and conveyed to the Southfield Police Department for processing.

On May 11, 2008, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office issued felony warrant #08-46500 charging Officer Shelby with one (1) count of Home Invasion - Second Degree and one (1) count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Felonious Assault]

On this same date, Officer Shelby was arraigned before Magistrate Kay Spinx, of the 46th District Court, he entered a plea of not guilty and bond was set at $50,000. Officer Shelby was scheduled to appear on May 15, 2008, 8:30 A.M., for a Pre-Examination Hearing.

Also on May 11, 2008, the Alert Team suspended Officer Shelby.

It should be noted that Officer Shelby's department issued weapon remains on evidence with the Southfield Police Department.

Based upon the above facts and circumstances, it is recommended that Officer Shelby be charged with, but not limited to, the following violation of the department Rules and Regulations:
CHARGE: CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER,
CONTRARY TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CODE OF ETHICS; THIS BEING IN VIOLATION OF THE 2003 DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT MANUAL SERIES 100, DIRECTIVE 102.3 - 7.9, CONDUCT UNPROFESSIONAL, COMMAND 1.

Atty. Hooks indicated she had not spoken to Atty. Goldpaugh on this matter, so did not know whether or not he planned to contest this petition next week.
Due to the seriousness of the conduct, I am requesting your concurrence with the suspension of Police Officer Renny Shelby without pay, effective May 15, 2008. Unless contravened by this Board the suspension without pay shall stand. There were no contraventions.
