This is simply just pathetic. It's articles like this that frighten the f_ck out of me! I mean, if the Sandusky Police Department cannot even handle a piss poor situation such as this on their own, then we're just f_cked! It says and I quote "Backup from Perkins police, Cedar Point police and Erie County Sheriff’s deputies all responded to help." REALLY?! ALL OF THESE OFFICERS NEEDED TO BE CALLED UPON FOR A STUPID FIGHT THAT STEMED FROM THE BOOZE CRUISE?! REALLY?! If I were on "Team Sandusky PD" that sentence, regarding the backup, of not one or even two, but three other departments, would cause me to resign. I mean, your "team" can't even hold down the Booze Cruise. That's just weak. I would hate to see these officers in action if it came down to trading blows with.. oh I don't know.. The Mexican Drug Cartels, Terrorists, ect.
I THOUGHT POLICE OFFICERS RECIEVED ENOUGH TRAINING TO AT LEAST HOLD DOWN A PIER, BUT APPARENTLY THEY DO NOT. THE SH_T IS SCAREY AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I WOULDN'T CALL ON THE POLICE TO DO SH_T FOR ME, UNLESS EVERY OTHER OPTION HAD BEEN EXHAUSTED. GET YOUR SH_T TOGETHER OFFICERS BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS ANY BETTER SO HOLD ON TIGHT TO THAT PEPPER SPRAY!

Sam: The only interest you and ole Woody have is the same interest Buffoon did. You all know who I am and you know everything I have ever said about this county and its corrupt courts are the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Which means I'm having lots of fun antagonizing you people.  Oh by the way, a Norwalk attorney said this County's legal system is more corrupt now than it was when Maschari was a judge. Now I know nothing of what the Courts were like when Maschari was a judge but I believe it!

Now stop trying to hijack the Booze Cruise story. If you have nothing more to say about the Booze Cruise then don't bother to reply. Have a good evening.

Sam says

Julie R the only interest anyone would have in you is the entertain value from your babble, rants,  and constant hijack of every subject.  As I have said numerous time if you had any real information on any public official bring it forward to this newspaper who would print it in a minute.   You can't because you got nothing and everyone knows it and laughs at you.  Must be terrible to have such an empty life that you live.

Julie R. says

Woody and Sam: Your interest in Julie R. is hilarious! Afraid of what's going to said next maybe?  

Woody Hayes says

Juliebeth:

You made my day calling me a hijacker. What a piece of work, tin foil hat and all.

Julie R. says

Oh wow! I named an insurance company and a Huron bank and it got deleted for personal attacks. No like that, Sam?  

Now go back to the Booze Cruise story that Woody hijacked. 

Sam says

Julie R accusing others of hijacking a subject, thats the kettle calling the pot black, then of course she HIJACKS the subject. 

 

 

Julie R. says

Salvatore: Considering how Woody admits he doesn't live in Sandusky or even in Erie County one might have to wonder why Woody is always on the SR blogs with his attacks on others that are intended to hijack the story----------now even attacking Dumpster Don on a story about the Booze Cruise!

So you are a loser like your tin foil hat buddie, also? Do you wear a tin foil hat, also?    

Salvatore says

I will take Dumpster Don over woody any time. I give a LOT of credit to Dumpster Don for making the best of a bad situation. Woody is a crook and belongs in prison. Woody hasn't been caught yet. Julie R, I believe all that you have wrote. I know because I have been there and experienced what you have wrote about.

Julie R. says

oops........your should be you're.

Julie R. says

WOODY: So who do you think you are, anyway? You don't even live in Sandusky or Erie County and now your picking on Dumpster Don? You must really think your all that and then some!

Woody Hayes says

A submarine full of torpedos and Captain Dumpster Don at the helm is offensive? And you people let Juliebeth R rant on. What a piece of trash.

windex1 says

A speeding ticket really its not comparable. I believe the police are there to serve and protect, but to many times have they taken advantage of that. I'm not talking just about the SPD, but let's face it. Police officers can break the law and their brotherhood will protect them. Just like the women police officer throw the OC and is being protected now.  The SR just reports what they know so don't be angry if they chose to investigate in a situation the SPD don't like.

somethingaboutmo says

It's funny how some of you are so quick to believe the writings of the Sandusky Register and the words of the less-than-credible people, who file these complaints against the police, over the actual police reports.  Most of you don't sit back and look at the big picture.  Most of you forget that police officers go through extensive background checks, psychological evaluations, and polygraph examinations, after hundreds of other applicants are weeded out, because of minor traffic offenses and blemishes on their credit reports.  I don't think it is the same, or even a similar hiring process, to work at the Sandusky Register.  I'm not saying there aren't some bad apples out there, who slip through the cracks and become police officers.  But the majority of police officers hold themselves to a higher standard and have stronger values, than that of the average citizen.  But when a citizen becomes angry because he or she is held accountable for his or her actions and files a complaint, bending the truth to the fullest extent, simply to get back at the officer who held him or her accountable, most of you believe what is printed in the media?  Like this newspaper, you already have a prejudgement of what happened whenever you learn of an incident, involving the police.  How is it that you can be the obvious conspiracy theorist, but think that this newspaper is doing everything correctly, with good intentions?  How is it that you immediately believe the word of someone involved in the complaint, over the man or woman handling that complaint, to restore order and protect you?  Is it because you are angry that you got a speeding ticket once? 

HelloMcFly says

Thank you SPD for the thankless work you do every single day and night! Despite the negative comments by people who hate you till they need you, there are still many of us that realize the risks you take every day. Imagine there being trouble in a place where there are a bunch of loaded people getting off a booze cruise...what a shock!

You should all leave that messed up city, let it implode on itself, and get jobs with departments where you'll actually be appreciated.

 

 

Outside lookin in says

Were're never going to find out the Truth because this is going to be investigated INTERNALLY.  Look what happened to Nuesse....They brought in the infamous crooked Judge Joe Cirigliano to keep OUT  all of the facts and evidence in the case.  Then overruled the committee appointed to decide..through another visiting judge (Scherk).  The Legal Industry Has To Go!!!

Bill P says

The police were busy breaking up a disturbance and arresting disorderly drunks.  Little Miss Muffet thinks it was rude to not stop and have a long conversation with her.    Shame on the police and their mixed up priorities.

windex1 says

The funny thing is none of these girls were the problem on the booze cruise.  They were all an after effect of what happened on the pier. Ask the SPD why they were called down there?

Mr. D says

 

Mz crayton says she was standing next to Mz burdue and witnessed her get struck with a flashlight....funny she said nothing , no protest, no reaction , no scream or yell when she was right on top of this "alleged" flashlight hit.      Yet, when she saw Wilkes being arrested she took action and approached the Officer and tried to grab him to find out why Wilkes was being arrested.             

Story sounds pretty shady to me....sure hope she doesn't end up with a falsification charge....hope she learned a lesson, never grab a policeman when he's doing his job...she should have been charged with assault and obstructing...

ps...not a cop, but might be an lpa

 

Mr. D says

The "love boat" sails again....Shame people just can't go out and have a good time....

As for those who got a wif of pepperspray cause they wanted to get closer to watch....you all would probably walk up to a downed 440 V powerline to see it better....

You all got what you needed....a good lesson....

Let me see...Erie County/Sandusky has Visiting Judges, Special Prosecutors and Self Investigations for one purpose. Outcome Decisions.  They get the outcome and Decision they want. I don't know what happened or who is wrong but the SPD should have an independant (non-government) investigations.  We all know that won't happen!

I don't think cops really did that of Fitzpatrick.....from what I hear they were happy to see him go (at least the cops I know)

 Here's a question...why hasn't the pregnant 18 year old gone to the newspaper to plaster her black eye & interview in the paper? OR why hasn't the paper found her? 

She may be afraid of further police harassment. I recall when a certain Sandusky School teacher helped a girl that was raped by a Sandusky cop was followed, they drove by his home at all hours of the night & caused other problems since this teacher helped bust their "brother".  That's Sandusky for ya!

katelih says

 Thanks for clearing that up for me, BD03.  Now I have a better understanding of what may have happened. 

katelih says

 wetheppl,  Don't ASSUME  I am connected at the hip to a police officer and I wont assume you live in a trailer park, stealing your neighbors'  WI-FI  .

concernedsubject says

Because she wasn't struck by an officer!!!!  Just wait you will see!!!! hahahah  then she will get arrested for falsifying a police report, then she can really get arrested!!!!

Driving in Circles says

Where are the videos?  I thought the SPD was going to make them available.  Are there no bystander videos available?  For all the alleged police brutality, you would think someone would have gotten a picture or video. 

heyy says

This is to Montego, so, she didn't get hit in the eye right?!? Then if you were there, Explain to me how she got the SWOLLEN black eye?! The tapes will show it! And the officer knows what they did! Its just funny all you people get on here to talk sh*t on the people on the boat. None of you know what happened, and apparently the cops have amnesia and can't remember SPECIFIC details. There is a DETAILED complaint on the officer! So say what you will. And to you Sandusky Proud, are you trying to say the people in the article are unemployed and just want money!! You are so utterly wrong! As far as I'm concerned, as a woman reading this article, its about time, that a innocent woman stands up for her rights!!! No woman should EVER get hit by a man!!!

Sandusky Proud says

This whole thing is even a story beause a few NIT-WITS want a reason to sue the Sandusky Police Department in an effort to score some $$$$. In these times, why does it seem as though no one can work, find a job, etc. but they don't seem to have a problem findng the cash to hire a lawyer to sue someone for no reason! I know that sounds like a generalization...but that's the way the big picture looks these days.

These police officers are being made out to be common criminals. They have a thankless job. I have no idea why anyone would even want to be a cop, teacher, etc. these days. People will rant and rave about some drunks getting pepper-sprayed and make the cops out to be criminals...YET we have no problem with electing the REAL CRIMINALS to the highest offices in the LAND!!!!!

I'll say this again - "THANK YOU ALL SPD OFFICERS. STAND PROUD!!! "

PinocchioKnows says

So now the Police Dept has to waste their time keeping City Commissioners up to date before they hear things - why do you need a City Manager, Acting, Interim or otherwise? Instead , someone who is paid $5,200 a year (commissioner's salary) is going to deal directly with Sams.The city staff, especially Iccman, should do the job they are getting paid to do. With fewer, cops something needs to be streamlined. Keep them on the street not behind a computer sending emails to the elected and or appointed commissioners .I think some of those ongoing investigations are confidential - even to the chosen few.  I am not comfortable with a bus driver and janitor telling police officers how to do their job.

MontegoBay1 says

To the girl who supposedly got hit by the flashlight....goodluck on your lawsuit which will be based on a lie and all who were there know it and you know it too....why is it that whenever someone comes on here and defends cops, they have to BE a cop or KNOW a cop??  To those jackaA$$'s out there who say that...there are still some decent people in this world who appreciate them....if those who were truly on the pier that night and chose not to get invloved in this fight are really blogging, we know the truth...

looking around says

I'm a regular on the Friday 7 p.m. cruise, most of us select that early boat to avoid the problems often seen on the later boat with those that may have started drinking hours earlier. I saw the brief scuffle break out on the boat prior to docking. The SPD was on hand at the dock as usual when we arrived. Boat security knew who the troublemakers were before they disembarked. Several points I would like to make, one if they were communicating through signals to the police on the dock, why didn't the cops board the vessel and detain the identified individuals before allowing the rest of the passengers to leave? Two once it was realized that a fight had broken out or potential problems existed didn't the crew of the goodtime hold up disembarkment until order was restored? There were off duty police on the boat that should have recognized this potential for trouble. The boat security did it's best to contain and diffuse the problem while on the boat preventing injury to passengers not involved in confined space. The real problem occurred as we left the boat ramp. I for one exited as hastily as possible giving a wide berth to the area where there was a problem, those still leaving the boat should have been held back until order was restored. The mentality of some wanting to be witness to these types of fights in the front row seat puts them in harms way and makes it difficult for order to be restored. If you don't want trouble steer clear! It's that simple. If your coming off the boat scan the immediate area for signs of trouble and don't get off until you feel it is safe. You can be responsible for yourself. If you are near a fight that breaks out on the boat, try to distance yourself from those involved so that security can efficiently do their job. We get on the Goodtime for a Goodtime not this type of activity. I have seen changes in the past year or two that have changed the persona of this cruise. It will be up to management to maintain a good image and reputation of fun and not trouble if they want to maintain the business of their good customers.

I might add that as one of the first off the boat as trouble erupted, I was all the way to water street as responding officers drove at a high rate of speed through downtown streets to the pier. Their driving technique placed many innocent people walking in the area in a potentially dangerous situation. Why not play the tapes of the call for backup and other chatter on the police radio to gain insight to the chaos. It bordered on being completely out of control and panicked on behalf of the police, who should maintain calm and professional in all responses.

Record the names of those who cause trouble and ban them from boarding in the future. The majority of regulars have seen them before and don’t want them onboard to spoil a great cruise.


With the current security required for boarding this vessel I believe the Captain could consider this a threat to the operation and safety of the crew and passengers and could hold these unruly passengers for the coast guard that would probably bring felony charges and huge fines just as the FAA treats unruly airline passengers. I bet the trouble would stop then!
 

italian princess says

Does anyone else think that it's odd? That the police get away with so much crap here in our little communities. Big time criminals go to prison for less offenses than what some of our police, and elected officials do.

BD03 says

It was not a color against color fight or young against old.  A group of people got into a fight and if we want to be specific it was a group of black people men and women. The people that were arrested though were random people that don't know each other, they happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. In all the confusion of what was happening random people were arrested.

Julie R. says

The corpse that the cops reported was a dead deer was a woman that had been brutally murdered and dumped on the side of Interstate 90..............................

Julie R. says

On a lighter note--------two cops from Cleveland were dispatched to Interstate 90 on a call about a corpse on the side of the road. Prior to the call the officers patrol car was sitting idle in a cemetery for one hour and five minutes. The officers then drove 50 mph past the corpse and called it in as a dead deer. They then returned to the cemetery where the car sat idle for another hour.  An investigation showed that's where the cops spent most of their time----either sitting idle in the cemetery or the parking lot of a strip joint and other locations. All they got out of it was suspended for 6 months. 

EZOB says

   I wasn't there but the officer was definitely wrong for hitting the woman by the eye.  From now on, hit them on the top or back of the head and it won't hurt them.

 Booze cruises never used to be like this until they started letting typical "today's Sandusky youth" on board. It used to be a place to party & pick up chicks. Now it's a thugfest just like everything else in Sandusky has become. I bet if they move the Goodtime dock to Huron they won't have the problem of fights & 18 year old pregnant girls with attitudes & melees. The Huron girls are hotter anyway. Even the cougars. The Emerald Empress was smart to get out while it did.
