Please remove "Oceanside, Ca Cop arrested from beating exgirlfriend" from the internet. This article contains false and misleading information. The article is false, misleading and defamatory. I had to sue the city Carlsbad in Federal Court to clear my name. In May of this year I was awarded $87,500 in damages from the City of Carlsbad. Carlsbad PD was directed by a Federal Magistrate in the Southern District of California to retrain their police officers in domestic violence responses and investigation. Please take this atricle down and block it so google and others cannot continue to pick it up on "crawls". Thank you.

Lt. Shawn Murray was arrested after his ex-girlfriend reported that he choked and dragged her through his home on Flat Rock Street near Rock Ridge Road, said Carlsbad Lt. Kelly Cain.

The incident began late Sunday night and continued into early Monday morning. Police said the victim and Murray dated and were ending their relationship at the time.

Officers who went to the home said her throat was red, which led to his arrest, Cain said

Murray was booked into the Vista jail on suspicion of domestic violence and battery and was free Tuesday after posting $25,000 bail.

In making the finding, U.S. District Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz granted the city of Carlsbad's request that he dismiss a portion of the suit Oceanside Lt. Shawn Murray filed in federal court, alleging he had been the victim of a false arrest and an improper search of his home.

Murray was arrested at his Carlsbad home Aug. 18, 2008, after a former girlfriend --- who was a former Carlsbad police officer ---- alleged she had been physically attacked during a confrontation at Murray's home. County prosecutors reviewed the case and declined to charge the veteran Oceanside officer.

On Monday, Moskowitz issued a finding that Carlsbad police had probable cause to arrest Murray for domestic violence at the time. In making the finding, the federal judge dismissed Murray's claim of false arrest.

...

In his 16-page ruling, the judge found that the arresting officer, Dzung Luc, had grounds to arrest Murray and that his decision to do so was "objectively reasonable," based on what Luc said he heard and saw when he responded to the scene.

The city of Carlsbad has agreed to pay $87,500 to an Oceanside police lieutenant to settle a lawsuit alleging that Carlsbad officers illegally searched his home and truck during a domestic violence investigation.

Carlsbad police officers must also undergo additional training on "the proper scope of a search for weapons incident to arrest for domestic violence," according to settlement documents obtained Tuesday by the North County Times.

Oceanside police Lt. Shawn Murray, who filed the Civil Rights Act lawsuit in 2008, confirmed the terms of the settlement to the Times on Tuesday, but declined further comment. He agreed in the settlement not to say anything more about the case to the media.

"The case was settled ... to bring an end to litigation, avoid appeals and avoid protracted litigation," Carlsbad City Attorney Ron Ball wrote in an email Tuesday.

An Oceanside police lieutenant who recently dropped a lawsuit against the Police Department has gone on medical leave and filed workers' compensation claims, according to state records.

Lt. Shawn Murray filed three workers' compensation claims between March and August, citing injuries to his back and shoulders along with a hernia, circulatory and other nonspecific problems.

His claim lists the date of his back injury as June 14 ---- four days after he dropped a lawsuit against the Police Department alleging discrimination and retaliation. It was not known when Murray went on medical leave.

Another workers' compensation claim filed in March claimed the job caused him to suffer a hernia and problems with his circulatory system and "body system," according to state records.

On that claim, Murray listed the date of injury as January 1989 to February 2011 ---- covering almost all of his more than 22 years with the Oceanside Police Department.

Lt. Shawn Murray, a white, 22-year veteran of the department, has been the subject of several unfounded internal investigations and has been urged repeatedly to retire primarily because he spoke out against racial discrimination, according to his claim.
