Witnesses denied she was aggressor; internal investigation continuing

09:38 PM CST on Thursday, March 16, 2006

By ROBERT THARP / The Dallas Morning News

A Dallas Roller Derby skater was indicted Thursday on a felony charge of assaulting a Dallas police officer stemming from a January incident in which she and several witnesses say the officer was the aggressor and used excessive force.

Reports related to the indictment charge that Michelle Metzinger, 25, was belligerent and fought with Officer Ceaphus Gordon after the officer asked to see her identification because, he said, she had been roller skating recklessly through traffic on Elm Street in Deep Ellum.

Michelle Metzinger

According to Officer Gordon's report, Ms. Metzinger tried to gouge his eye with her fingers when he tried to handcuff and arrest her on a charge of public intoxication.

The officer then tried to force Ms. Metzinger to the sidewalk using a "straight arm bar take down," but instead, she "rolled from the police car to the ground," his report says. Ms. Metzinger continued scratching and kicking the officer on the ground, the report says.

Officer Gordon described his injuries as three 1/8th-inch scratches near his right eye and scratches and bruises on his chin.

He described Ms. Metzinger's injury as a "small laceration that required a stitch," although his report indicates that she spent five hours at Parkland Memorial Hospital before she was taken to jail.

Kevin Clancy, Ms. Metzinger's attorney, said he was disappointed that he was not allowed to present evidence to the grand jury that would have offered a different account of what happened.

Eight witnesses to the arrest have filed affidavits saying that Ms. Metzinger was not intoxicated and that she did not resist the officer.

The witnesses state that after Ms. Metzinger was forced to the ground, Officer Gordon put his knee on her back or neck while he was handcuffing her, which is not described in the officer's reports.

"I think it's a travesty that this poor girl was charged with this," Mr. Clancy said. "I really do think that the grand jury did not look at the evidence."

A separate investigation into the incident by Dallas police internal affairs is ongoing.

Mr. Clancy said Dallas police have so far not interviewed any of the witnesses.

Officer Gordon has had 27 complaints filed against him in his 14-year career, most of which were ruled "unfounded" or "inconclusive." Of those inconclusive complaints, at least two involved allegations of excessive force.

Yet another link shows quite clearly that if the police were the protectors of the people rather than enforcers of the system none of this type of thing would be happening.

Michelle's case is evidence that the system is out of control and has become nothing more than organized crime run by gangsters and thugs.

umm, since we clearly have irrefutable photographic evidence of Ceaphus Gordon's use of force on Michelle's neck and head, surely he is behaving in breach of Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle's ban on neck holds? see http://brownwatch.squarespace.com/police-brutality...neck-hold.html

...or have i missed something obvious here? if Gordon HAS disregarded police procedures, can HE be charged with assault? how does it work in the US - can a citizen bring a criminal complaint to a court?

A citizen can bring suit under 42 USC 1983 which in effect makes everyone a citizen prosecutor.

It would also be a good idea to include Title 18 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) in the suit as well.

After all, we are now at the place where the government is criminal in nature and is running their own racket of unjust enrichement at the expense of the people they have sworn to serve and protect. This is clearly a breach of fiducuary duty and in violation of their oaths of office.

If Michelle has a good attorney they will pursue this for her. I'm sure there are people out there, and good lawyers also, who would be willing to step up to the plate on Michelle's behalf. This could be a big case.

Good news from Muff Thumper :)

Michelle just wrote me...

"...i just wanted to give you a little update. the d.a. dropped the public intox charge against me! yep, i am SO happy! now we are just waiting to see about the assault charge. my outlook on this whole thing keeps getting better & better. the police chief has not responded to a letter my lawyer sent to him 3 weeks ago asking why we have received no evidence from the police at all. no picture of the supposed wounds, no internal affairs report(that supposedly closed over 2 months ago!) NOTHING! we go to court in sept. to try to get all the evidence we have subpoenaed. so we will have tons more info soon. (i hope!) please let anyone you think cares about this new info know about it..."

Thanks, ruthie. This sounds a bit as we suspected would happen. Now, Michelle needs to turn this around on them. I hope her lawyer is on the ball enough to use this type of leverage in advance.

The cops use this tactic right away when they throw in an extra charge or two to make it all seem like a mountain has just landed on you, when in fact they are bluffing and have nothing. Michelle seems to be holding all of the cards right now.

interesting, isn't it? of course it could only be inefficiency or indifference but perhaps there's something embarrassing that the police chief might be uncomfortable about sharing....such as Ceaphus Gordon's appalling disciplinary record, or perhaps a lack of solid evidence to present before a court?

There are rogue cops to be found in many places. When it so happens that they find you, it could tend to cause a hurtful situation such as Michelle's. Many are not so lucky and wind up dead.
