The Police Ethics Committee has found a Montreal police officer and his partner negligent in duties relating to the arrest of a homeless man nine years ago.
The officer was, however, cleared of charges of unnecessary force on Jean-Pierre Lizotte, who died following his arrest outside Shed Café on St. Laurent Blvd. in September 1999. Lizotte was 45 years old at the time.
In May 2002, witnesses testified that Giovanni Stante, one of Lizotte's arresting officers, punched Lizotte in the face several times. A jury acquitted Stante of manslaughter and other charges in August 2002. ... Read more

S.F. police bust one of their
Police have arrested one of their own for criminal acts he allegedly committed while on duty.
Michael Turkington, 35, who joined the San Francisco police five years ago, was arrested Wednesday night at his San Mateo home on suspicion of oral copulation by force, false imprisonment and furnishing marijuana, all "under color of authority," said Lt. Daniel Mahoney.
Mahoney said Turkington allegedly befriended an 18-year-old woman at San Francisco State University, picked her up, drove her to a secluded area and coerced her into performing sex acts.
Turkington, who allegedly committed the acts while assigned to the Taraval station, already was on suspension in connection with separate charges involving contributing to the delinquency of minors, for which a trial is scheduled for Friday, Mahoney said.
Those charges allege that Turkington took two 17-year-old girls and a 16-year-old girl to West Sunset Park on June 30, 2004, and gave them a bottle of vodka and a bottle of Gatorade.
Four days later, Turkington and a fellow officer met the girls and asked if they wanted to shoot off illegal fireworks that police had confiscated that night, authorities said. The officers allegedly gave bottles of beer and fireworks to the three girls.
Turkington is in jail on $500,000 bail.
