PERSONNEL COMPLAINT, LA. No. 86-600
Page 145
Michelena stated that sometime in November, 1987, upon entering a
PAB elevator, he observed Sergeant Sergio Diaz. Michelena said
Diaz asked him what was wrong with Ramirez. Diaz said he had
called Ramirez "Chico" and he (Ramirez) flew off the handle.
Michelena said although Diaz did not go into any details, he
(Michelena) interpreted the conversation between Ramirez and Diaz
as a confrontation. Michelena did not recall if Diaz said that
he had been threatened in any way by Ramirez.
Michelena stated he did not attend an O.I.S. Section Christmas
1987 luncheon at Tex Taylor's Restaurant. Michelena said he was
sure the O.I.S. Christmas 1987 luncheon was held at Columbo'
Restaurant in Northeast Division. Michelena did not recall
anything significant occurring at the luncheon.
Michelena said he was aware of a retirement luncheon at Tex
Taylor's Restaurant where Ramirez had had a couple of drinks.
Michelena said he had heard that Ramirez had become excited and
was walking around poking people in the chest. Michelena said
that he was told that Ramirez had poked Pellegrino in the chest
and Pellegrino had put a stop to Ramirez' actions. Michelena
said that Montgomery had related the incident to him but had not
provided him with any specific details.
Michelena stated at no time in February, 1988, or at any other
time did he observe Pellegrino or anyone else write on the
blackboard in the O.I.S. office, "Howard Schreiber is whose
father." Michelena denied hearing Lieutenant Hall say to
Ramirez, "Well it looks like someone has dug up some dirt on a
Detective III candidate." Michelena denied hearing Pellegrino
say, "Chico wants to be Mexican but he is a Jew."
Michelena stated at no time during December, 1988, or at any
other time did he hear Montgomery say to Fiderio from SID in
referring to Ramirez, "Just ignore the little Mexican. Don't pay
attention to him."
Michelena stated that he recalled an O.I.S. that occurred in
December 1988. Michelena recalled a conversation that took place
between he, Montgomery and Tyndall regarding an Officer Rios who
had been involved in the O.I.S.. Michelena said that Officer
Rios was his brother-in-law's brother.
Michelena denied that Montgomery said, "How can a preppy Mexican
like you have a dumb ghetto Mexican for a relative." Michelena
said that Montgomery often refers to him as being "preppy"
-because he wears dress shirts with button-down collars but that
Montgomery has never referred to him as a preppy Mexican.
Michelena denied that he said "Rios belongs to the other side of
the family that is not doing well". Michelena denied that
Montgomery said "Rios lives in a dump like typical Mexicans."
