A STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN, FIREFIGHTER HAS BEEN taken into custody by police following a bizarre incident Sunday night. Joel Abernathy, 44, was arraigned Monday and charged with felonious assault and a firearms offense after an altercation with his wife and an off-duty bartender.

Abernathy and his wife were patrons at the Ugly Duckling bar in nearby Harper Woods when they got into an argument. He then stormed out of the bar, but returned 40 minutes later suddenly clothed in his fire department dress uniform and carrying a large handgun.

While he was gone, his wife moved to another area in the bar to play a game of pool. When Abernathy returned he mistook another woman sitting at the bar, an off-duty employee, for his wife and accosted her with the gun. Holding the gun to her head, he demanded that she “give me the keys!” After realizing his mistake, he sought out his wife in the bar, grabbed her purse and left.

When the police arrived, other patrons identified him and his credit card receipt confirmed it. Driving to his house, they found him walking along the street and arrested him.

Former Newaygo County sheriff's deputy sentenced to 90 days in jail for assaulting reserve officer

NEWAYGO COUNTY -- A former Newaygo County sheriff's deputy, accused of sexually assaulting a reserve police officer, was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he pleaded no contest to assault with intent to commit great bodily harm, less than murder.

Robert Dakin, 39, was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct. The original charge, a 15-year felony, alleged he touched a 33-year-old reserve police officer from another agency against her will in 2002.

Dakin pleaded no contest in January and part of the agreement was that the 90-day sentence would be held in abeyance as long as the former cop adheres to the terms of his probation and does not commit another crime.

ALLEGAN -- A former Van Buren County magistrate who retired after his arrest for drunken driving pleaded guilty Monday to driving while impaired.

J. Michael James, 61, of Bloomingdale Township, was originally charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated but pleaded to the lesser charge of impaired driving. Both violations are misdemeanors.

James was sentenced to three to six months of probation.

As part of his sentence, Allegan District Judge Joseph Skocelas ordered James to submit to random alcohol testing and substance-abuse assessment. James also is expected to pay $815 in fines, court costs and other fees, a court official said.

Police arrested James Dec. 5 after he followed an ambulance carrying his wife to Allegan General Hospital. Police were called to the hospital on reports that James was being disorderly in the waiting room.

James' wife was treated at the hospital for severe trauma to the head and upper torso area, according to a police report. James told an officer that she was injured in a fall, the report said.

Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz has been appointed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the injuries to James' wife.

Paul Hamre, chief judge of the Van Buren County Circuit Court, suspended James with pay after his arrest in December. James then retired, effective Monday.

SOUTH HAVEN - Former Van Buren County magistrate J. Michael James pleaded guilty Monday to a reduced charge in an Allegan County drinking and driving case.

James, 61, had been charged with driving while intoxicated Dec. 5 in the city of Allegan. He pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of driving while impaired, Allegan District Court officials said.

James had been on paid administrative leave from his magistrate's job since his arrest, but late last month announced his resignation, which was effective Monday. He had been the District Court magistrate at the South Haven courthouse for 20 years.

He was sentenced to three to six months of probation and ordered to pay a fine of $815. He was ordered to have substance abuse counseling and refrain from alcohol. He will also have to participate in a victim impact panel through the courts.

James told Allegan police he had been drinking the night of Dec. 5 before he drove to Allegan General Hospital, where he was arrested. His wife had been taken to the hospital by ambulance that night with severe trauma injuries, and he followed in his car, police said.

The Jameses live near Gobles, about 6 miles from the hospital.

Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the hospital visit to see if domestic assault charges may be warranted against James.

Allegan police said James' wife claimed she had fallen at home, causing her injuries, but officers said they weren't sure if her injuries were consistent with a fall.

Fitz was assigned the case after Van Buren County Prosecutor Juris Kaps recused himself. Fitz said he may make a decision on his review later this week.

A former Clare County Sheriff's deputy was acquitted of a domestic violence charge Wednesday after a two-day trial.

A jury in Isabella County Trial Judge Mark Duthie's courtroom found Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, innocent of assaulting his wife, Ashley Richardson, in February.

Jurors deliberated for about an hour before delivering the verdict.

Richardson's attorney, Dan O'Neil, argued self defense and said he was pleased with the verdict.

"He may still have a career in law enforcement," O'Neil said.

Senior Assistant Prosecutor Stuart Black, who tried the case, said he is disappointed with the verdict and that jurors paid close attention during the trial, and "we accept their decision."

Richardson lost his job at the sheriff's department, where he worked for about eight months, after being arrested Feb. 4 for allegedly assaulting his wife.

He ended up back in the Isabella County Jail two days later, for allegedly violating a bond condition, Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said at the time of Richardson's second arrest on Feb. 6.

Richardson was alleged to have assaulted his wife Feb. 4.

Deputies were called to his home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township at 7:48 p.m. Feb. 4.

When officers arrived, they noted that Richardson's wife had left the home after the alleged assault in the couples' bedroom.

She called for help from her parents' home.

After the initial arrest, Richardson posted bond and was released from jail but was arrested again after deputies were called back to the home Feb. 5.

Richardson broke a bond condition by returning to the home.

He had been ordered to stay away from his wife, the sheriff said at the time of the second arrest.

Domestic violence is a 93-day misdemeanor.










Ex-Clare County Sheriff’s Deputy jailed twice

MOUNT PLEASANT – A former Clare County Sheriff’s deputy was released from jail Friday making that his second release from jail within a few days.

Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, originally was arrested at 7:48 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4 in connection with a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, said Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. He posted $300, which was the 10 percent needed for bail on the $3,000 cash or surety bond for what could be a 93-day misdemeanor.

Mioduszewski said Richardson was arraigned Thursday on the DV charge. One of the conditions set as part of his bond was that he was not to return to his residence.

However, Richardson was reported to have returned to the home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township later that day.

Isabella deputies then arrested him at 4:16 p.m. Thursday after being called to the home for the bond violation, he said. Richardson was arraigned on the bond violation charge Friday and posted the additional $400 needed for the 10 percent cash or surety bond of $7,500.

“There was an assault that appeared to have occurred,” Mioduszewski said of the first incident. Richardson is alleged to have assaulted his wife after a “heated argument” when he returned to his residence after work on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Mioduszewski said.

Richardson’s wife did not have serious injuries that required medical attention, but it did appear she was assaulted, he said. She left the marital residence after the alleged assault calling the sheriff’s department for help from her parent’s home.

Sheriff’s deputies were then dispatched to the West Beal City Road residence where Richardson was arrested after an investigation into the incident, Mioduszewski said.

He was then transported to the Isabella County Jail.

Mioduszewski said there was no altercation or argument when Richardson returned to the residence on Thursday. He said it was his understanding that Richardson’s wife was not there, but Richardson was in violation of the bond terms as he was not to go near his wife or the marital residence.

Mioduszewski said he is aware that Richardson was terminated from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department and it was his understanding that it related to the charges, but referred questions to the Clare County Sheriff’s Department.

A sergeant from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Richardson was no longer an employee of the department. Further questions were referred to Clare County Sheriff John Wilson, who was not available for comment over the weekend.

Mioduszewski was unaware of the preliminary exam date on the charges.

The Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office staff also was not available for comment on the charges.

A former Clare County sheriff's deputy was in the Isabella County Jail Friday - the second time he spent time behind bars in two days.

Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, was arrested Thursday for violating a bond condition.

On Wednesday night he was arrested for domestic violence, Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said.

Richardson apparently was fired from his job at the Clare County Sheriff's Department after the first arrest on Wednesday.

Richardson is alleged to have assaulted his wife Wednesday, Mioduszewski said.

Deputies were called to the home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township at 7:48 p.m. Wednesday.

Richardson's wife had left the residence after the alleged assault in the couple's bedroom, calling for help from her parents' home, Mioduszewski said.

"They had gotten into a pretty heated argument prior to the (alleged) assault," Mioduszewski said. "She had no serious injuries; nothing that required medical attention."

After deputies went to the home and interviewed Richardson, they arrested him for domestic violence, a 93-day misdemeanor, Mioduszewski said.

Richardson posted bond and was released from jail, but was arrested again after deputies were called back to the home at 4:16 p.m. Thursday, the sheriff said.

Richardson broke a bond violation by returning to the home; he had been ordered not to go near his wife, Mioduszewski said.

Isabella deputies then arrested him at 4:16 p.m. Thursday after being called to the home for the bond violation, he said. Richardson was arraigned on the bond violation charge Friday and posted the additional $400 needed for the 10 percent cash or surety bond of $7,500.

“There was an assault that appeared to have occurred,” Mioduszewski said of the first incident. Richardson is alleged to have assaulted his wife after a “heated argument” when he returned to his residence after work on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Mioduszewski said.

Richardson’s wife did not have serious injuries that required medical attention, but it did appear she was assaulted, he said. She left the marital residence after the alleged assault calling the sheriff’s department for help from her parent’s home.

Sheriff’s deputies were then dispatched to the West Beal City Road residence where Richardson was arrested after an investigation into the incident, Mioduszewski said.

He was then transported to the Isabella County Jail.

Mioduszewski said there was no altercation or argument when Richardson returned to the residence on Thursday. He said it was his understanding that Richardson’s wife was not there, but Richardson was in violation of the bond terms as he was not to go near his wife or the marital residence.

Mioduszewski said he is aware that Richardson was terminated from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department and it was his understanding that it related to the charges, but referred questions to the Clare County Sheriff’s Department.

A sergeant from the Clare County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Richardson was no longer an employee of the department. Further questions were referred to Clare County Sheriff John Wilson, who was not available for comment over the weekend.

Mioduszewski was unaware of the preliminary exam date on the charges.

The Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office staff also was not available for comment on the charges.

A former Clare County sheriff's deputy was in the Isabella County Jail Friday - the second time he spent time behind bars in two days.

Jeremy Brickey Richardson, 31, was arrested Thursday for violating a bond condition.

On Wednesday night he was arrested for domestic violence, Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said.

Richardson apparently was fired from his job at the Clare County Sheriff's Department after the first arrest on Wednesday.

Richardson is alleged to have assaulted his wife Wednesday, Mioduszewski said.

Deputies were called to the home in the 2000 block of West Beal City Road in Nottawa Township at 7:48 p.m. Wednesday.

Richardson's wife had left the residence after the alleged assault in the couple's bedroom, calling for help from her parents' home, Mioduszewski said.

"They had gotten into a pretty heated argument prior to the (alleged) assault," Mioduszewski said. "She had no serious injuries; nothing that required medical attention."

After deputies went to the home and interviewed Richardson, they arrested him for domestic violence, a 93-day misdemeanor, Mioduszewski said.

Richardson posted bond and was released from jail, but was arrested again after deputies were called back to the home at 4:16 p.m. Thursday, the sheriff said.

Richardson broke a bond violation by returning to the home; he had been ordered not to go near his wife, Mioduszewski said.






Michigan Officer Involved Domestic Violence

01232009 - Deputy Bruce Beeker - LeeLanau County SD

DEPUTY BRUCE BEEKER [LEELANAU COUNTY SD]: JANUARY 23, 2009


Deputy Beeker resigned from the SD in February 2009, after he had been investigated for sending a sexually explicit email to another sheriff deputy [while on duty], on January 23, 2009.

Beeker had been embroiled with a lawsuit and grievances against the Leelanau County SD and Sheriff Oltersdorf since 2006.  At that time, the Sheriff had dismissed Beeker from the department, due to an inappropriate relationship that he had with a woman who was being investigated  for domestic violence.

Over the course of three-years, Sheriff Oltersdorf battled the Union and then lawsuits over his right to fire a law enforcement employee for misconduct.

Leelanau County hires new deputies

SUTTONS BAY -- The scenery won't much change for new Leelanau County Sheriff's Deputy Chris Bailey.

Bailey worked for the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians' police department for about 10 years, and attained the rank of captain. He and new Leelanau Deputy Matt Green began work last weekend, and both said they're excited to join the department.

"I just wanted to be a part of a great group of people," Bailey, 30, said.

Green, 39, worked at Home Depot before finally deciding to chase his lifelong goal of becoming a police officer. He graduated from Northwestern Michigan College's police academy in 2006, and his new job marks his first try at full-time police work.

"My wife said, 'You always wanted to be a cop, why don't you pursue it?'" Green said.

Bailey and Green replace Chris Roberts and Bruce Beeker. Beeker recently resigned from the department amid allegations he sent a sexual e-mail to a fellow employee, and Roberts was fired after Grand Traverse County authorities arrested him for drunken driving last month.

Beeker's e-mail, sent while on duty Jan. 23, contained a video of naked women washing a car, according to an internal investigation obtained by the Record-Eagle under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act. The employee who received it reported it to administrators, who launched an investigation.

Beeker resigned Feb. 20, the same day a disciplinary hearing was scheduled. He had been on desk duty after a lengthy labor dispute stemming from inappropriate contact he had with a female assault suspect in early 2006.

Roberts caused a crash while driving drunk on U.S. 31 near Meijer Feb. 3, and Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf fired him Feb. 25. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor count of operating while intoxicated on March 3 and was sentenced to six months probation.

Oltersdorf is happy with his two new hires, which will bring his road patrol unit back to full staffing levels.

"They're both very high-caliber, good family men with roots in the community," he said. "They're outstanding officers

'Offensive' email led to resignation

The Leelanau News
http://www.leelanaunews.com/news/OldArchive/News/Offensive_email_led_to_resignation.html

An “obscene, sexually offensive” email sent to a co-worker appears to be at the heart of why Leelanau County Deputy Sheriff Bruce Beeker abruptly resigned last month.

Beeker resigned on Feb. 20 just hours before Sheriff Michael Oltersdorf had scheduled a disciplinary hearing over allegations that Beeker forwarded the email to another deputy while both deputies were on duty.

Circumstances behind Beeker’s resignation came to light this week after the Leelanau Enterprise received documents it had requested on Feb. 24 from the Sheriff’s Office under the state Freedom of Information Act. Citing state law, undersheriff Scott Wooters requested a 10-day extension of time to release the documents, ostensibly to seek a legal opinion about which documents could be released.

The name of the deputy to whom Beeker allegedly forwarded the email was blacked-out in a five-page investigation report the Enterprise received in response to its request. The report notes that the other deputy reported the incident to the undersheriff shortly after it occurred in January 2009. The deputy told Wooters that he was “very offended” by what was contained in Beeker’s email.

According to the investigation report, Beeker brought his personal laptop computer in to work on Jan. 23 and used it to forward the email from his personal address to the other deputy’s personal address, which the other deputy could access from a computer at work. Both deputies were able to access their personal email accounts using the free wireless Internet service available to any member of the public on the county Government Center campus.

The report indicates that Beeker was confronted by the other deputy over the email; and Beeker expressed surprise that the other deputy had not waited until going home to open the email.

The email included images of naked women washing cars involved in sexually explicit conduct, according to the investigation report.

Wooters interviewed Beeker during his investigation. According to the investigation report: “Beeker said it is common for him to receive emails which he described as ‘funny’ from people and mail them back and forth.”

The incident leading to Beeker’s planned disciplinary hearing last month is not the first time he had been accused of severe misconduct, including sexual harassment. In April 2006, the sheriff fired Beeker for having an inappropriate relationship with a suspect in a domestic violence case. But Beeker filed a union grievance that resulted in an arbitrator’s ruling that he be returned to his $42,000 per year job with back pay.

In August 2007, the sheriff put Beeker back to work in a “desk job” but denied him a badge, a gun, or any law enforcement duties. Another union grievance led to a 13th Circuit Court case in which Judge Philip E. Rodgers Jr. threw out the union’s assertion that the arbitrator’s ruling had not been carried out according to law.

At the time, Rodgers opined that the arbitrator’s opinion “belittled domestic violence and sexual harassment in the workplace.” The judge added that the arbitrator “not only missed the point, but he also demonstrated that he is just as base as Beeker.”

Beeker did not respond to an email request for comment from the Enterprise.







Deputy resigns over 'severe misconduct'

http://record-eagle.com/local/x75069344/Deputy-resigns-over-severe-misconduct#

SUTTONS BAY -- Leelanau County sheriff's Deputy Bruce Beeker quit.

Beeker unexpectedly resigned Feb. 20, Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf said, a few hours before a scheduled disciplinary hearing. Oltersdorf wouldn't provide specifics, but said the hearing involved alleged "severe misconduct" on Beeker's part.

Oltersdorf fired Beeker in April 2006 after he repeatedly made inappropriate contacts with a woman who assaulted her ex-boyfriend. Beeker, who responded to the assault, asked the woman to go four-wheeling with him and later called her dozens of times and visited her at home.

An arbitrator eventually ordered the department to re-hire Beeker, but Oltersdorf didn't give him patrol duties after the re-hire. He was given a desk job and remained there until his resignation.

Last year, Beeker and the police union unsuccessfully sued the department in an attempt to force Oltersdorf to give Beeker patrol work.
