Waterford police officer accused of domestic violence, criminal sexual conduct involving wife
Oakland Press
March 23, 2017



A Waterford Township police officer accused of domestic violence and third-degree criminal sexual conduct against his wife will face a probable cause conference before 51st District Judge Todd Fox next week.

Waterford Police Chief Scott Underwood said Brendon Moquin’s wife brought the accusations to the department’s attention on Monday, March 20. The charges stem from an argument between Moquin and his wife on Sunday.

After an investigation by the department, Moquin, 30, was arraigned on the misdemeanor domestic violence and felony criminal sexual conduct charges Monday before 51st District Judge Richard Kuhn Jr, who released Moquin on $25,000 personal bond. If Moquin does not show for subsequent court dates, he will be responsible for the $25,000.

Third-degree CSC, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, is often charged under the following circumstances:

* Force or coercion is used to accomplish sexual penetration.

* The accused knows or has reason to know that the victim is mentally incapable, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless.

* The victim is related to the accused by blood or affinity.

It is not known which of these apply to the Moquin case.

Moquin, who has been a Waterford police officer for nearly four years, has no criminal record.

Underwood said he is on paid administrative leave. The department is conducting its own investigation, independent of the criminal charges against Moquin, to determine if Moquin violated any internal rules of conduct, Underwood said.

At arraignment, Kuhn ordered Moquin to have no contact with his wife and not to be in possession of any weapons or firearms.

He faces a probable cause conference at 1:30 p.m. March 29 before 51st District Judge Todd Fox. A probable cause conference is held in felony cases to determine if a plea or other resolution can be reached or to preserve testimony at the earliest possible stage.

Moquin will then face a preliminary examination April 12, at which Fox will decide if there is enough evidence for the case to be bound over to Oakland County Circuit Court.

A former Waterford Township police officer has been bound over to Oakland County Circuit Court on a misdemeanor domestic violence and felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct charges.

The case has been assigned to Oakland County Circuit Judge Martha Anderson. He will appear before her for arraignment April 27.

Judge says former Waterford cop must continue alcohol testing

https://infoweb.newsbank.com/
A request to stop requiring alcohol testing for a former Waterford cop was shot down by Oakland Circuit Judge Martha Anderson on Thursday.

Brendon Moquin, 30, is charged with felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct and misdemeanor domestic violence against his estranged wife

The testing is routinely included as a condition of probation, but an attorney for Moquin argued the tests are too costly for his unemployed client.

"It's a hardship," said attorney Wade Fink, noting that Moquin is "in the process of interviewing for jobs."

Moquin, 30, was fired from the Waterford Police Department in March following an investigation to determine if he violated internal codes of conduct. He'd been an officer there since 2013.

Fink also said Moquin has "no history of substance abuse."

Anderson said the testing will continue but she could "revisit" the request at a later date.

The charges against Moquin stem from a March 19 argument between Moquin and his wife. According to Police Chief Scott Underwood, she brought the accusations to Waterford police the next day.

Third-degree CSC involves nonconsensual penetration under a variety of circumstances, including sex with a person who is related to the accused.

Following Anderson's ruling, Fink issued this statement:

"Officer Moquin has served his country and community as a member of the military and law enforcement. We ask that people be mindful that this public servant is presumed innocent."

Moquin's trial is scheduled for Sept. 8.















Waterford ex-cop gets probation for assaulting former wife
Oakland Press
September 7, 2017



The Waterford Township cop fired last spring after being charged with criminal sexual conduct and domestic violence will serve probation for the next 11 months, a judge has ordered.

Brendon Moquin, 30, was sentenced Thursday morning by Oakland County Circuit Judge Martha Anderson, who also lifted a no contact order with his ex-wife – the victim in the March incident which led to the charges.

In July, the criminal sexual conduct charge was dismissed and Moquin pleaded no contest to aggravated domestic violence and domestic violence, charges stemming from a fight the couple had at the Waterford home they had shared with their two young kids.

Anderson also sentenced Moquin to two days in jail, with credit for two days served.

Prior to sentencing, Moquin apologized to the court and said he was 'quite remorseful' and that he needs 'professional help.'

'It was an unfortunate situation. I never thought I'd be in this position,' said Moquin, who served close to four years as a Waterford police officer. He now works as a tree trimmer.

'I don't want to be in this position again. I work hard every day for me and my kids,' he said. 'I don't think I'll be in this courtroom again. I'm quite confident of that.'

Moquin was also ordered to participate in a domestic violence program.

Moquin's ex-wife and mother, who attended the sentencing, didn't make a statement in court and declined comment afterward. But his attorney, Kimberly Stout, called the sentence 'very fair.'

'We're pleased,' Stout said. 'Everything is amicable (with his ex-wife). They just want a normal, healthy family.'

During his May 12th arraignment, Smith's attorney claimed that it was Senator Smith's ex-wife who was "obviously the aggressor". 
Smith is charged with felonious assault; malicious destruction of personal property, $20,000 or more; domestic violence, assault and battery; and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

RE: April 2015 shooting death of Terrance Kellom by Detroit Federal ICE Officer Mitchell Quinn [Fomer Detroit Police Officer who was arrested / criminally charged with OIDV in 2008]:
Following the shooting death of unarmed Kellom during an arrest, the Detroit Chief of Police claimed - incorrectly - that Officer Quinn was a DECORATED 12-year veteran of the department.
VIA Michigan OIDV, media and federal officials discovered that 7 years prior to Kellom's death, Officer Quinn had been arrested and criminally charged for holding his loaded duty gun to his ex-wife's head. The media has insured that Officer Quinn's OIDV record is not forgotten - again. 



On May 10, 2015, Senator Virgil Smith [Detroit], was arrested by the Detroit PD for shooting at his ex-wife and shooting her vehicle. Smith's ex-wife was not injured. However, the Senator put approximately 10 rounds into her vehicle. One of the Senator's neighbors reported hearing about 30 rounds being fired from a gun that sounded like an oozie. 



After Senator Virgil Smith's arrest, Detroit Police Chief James Craig refused to name the shooter. He only told the media, that "someone" fired a shotgun at a car parked outside the home of state Senator Virgil Smith. Chief Craig also failed to mention that Senator Smith's ex-wife had been shot at.



Apparently, the Detroit PD doesn't like to talk about OIDV. We all recall the recent shooting death of Terrance Kellom by Detroit ICE officer Mitchell Quinn. Detroit PD claimed that Officer Quinn "was a decorated 12-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department". Detroit PD didn't mention Officer Quinn's 2008 arrest and felony criminal charges when  Quinn pointed his loaded duty gun at his ex-wife's head. The media and government officials / agencies found the Detroit Police Commission minutes for Quinn's 2008 OIDV arrest and charges here on MIOIDV.
