2 West Palm police officers charged with damaging cars placed on administrative leave
W. Palm Beach Police Officers Arrested In Auto Vandalism - West Palm Beach News Story - WPBF West Palm Beach He escaped justice from a brutality case in Oklahoma: http://www.courthousenews.com/2008/09/19/TulsaCops.pdf JUPITER, Fla. -- Two West Palm Beach police officers were arrested in connection with vandalism done to two vehicles in Abacoa. Jupiter police said witnesses called 911 after seeing two men near their vehicles in an Abacoa parking garage early Thursday morning. Police said when officers arrived, they found two vehicles had been significantly damaged and the two men were standing between them. The men, later identified as Christopher Clark and Timothy Pike, were arrested on felony criminal mischief charges. Jupiter police said the men are West Palm Beach police officers. Bar manager Michael Stuve said he and a co-worker called police after seeing the officers near his new truck. "They were both kind of straddling the open door of my truck, and they were just trying to say it was their truck and they were wanting to drive home," Stuve said. Police said the officers ripped off Stuve's gas cap cover, broke his mirror and scratched the side of his truck. Pieces of his truck could be seen on the ground in the parking garage later in the day. "Noises that I heard when I was walking up the stairwell was probably the breaking sounds of our mirrors and maybe the gas cap," Stuve said. It was only later that he learned the men are police officers. "That totally blew me away," Stuve said. Jumby Bay owner Vicki Griest said she was also shocked to learn the suspects are police officers. "We've been working really hard on keeping this area crime-free, and to have the West Palm Beach police officers vandalizing cars, that's just -- I'm shocked, completely shocked," Griest said. West Palm Beach Police Chief Delsa Bush issued a statement about the arrests. "We are aware of the alleged incident involving Officers Christopher Clark and Timothy Pike," Bush said. "The city of West Palm Beach Police Department takes this situation seriously and will immediately begin an internal investigation. Both officers will be placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation." |
