Detective Tyndall did not see the incident but supports
Montgomery and Pellegrino by his recollection of incidents
leading up to the disturbance.
Pellegrino denied the allegation.
The investigation established that a physical incident occurred
between Pellegrino and Ramirez at a social function in 1987 but
did not clearly fix the date of occurrence. Ramirez' version is
in conflict with Pellegrino and Montgomery who are partially
supported by the civilian witnesses version in that Pellegrino
did not apply a chokehold and did not throw Ramirez against a bar
stool. Pellegrino admits placing one hand on each of Ramirez'
shoulders and moving Ramirez out of his way. Lieutenant Hall
observed Ramirez leaning against the wall next to a chair.
Montgomery and the two civilian witnesses observed Ramirez pushed
against the wall and than sink to the floor. Montgomery,
Pellegrino and Tyndall describe the conduct of Ramirez prior to
the incident as contributing to the action taken by Pellegrino.
The investigation fails to resolve this allegation.
It is recommended that Count No. 9 be classified as NOT SUSTAINED
against Pellegrino.
COUNT NO. 10 The Department alleges that sometime in 1987,
Lieutenant Hall failed to take appropriate action after he knew,
or should have known, that one of his subordinates had
unnecessarily used physical force against another subordinate.
Ramirez made the allegation.
Pellegrino admits physical conduct with Ramirez but was not
aware of Lieutenant Hall's presence.
Lieutenant Hall denies that he was aware of any incident
between Pellegrino and Ramirez.
Count No. 10 is based on the activity alleged in Count No. 9.
Count No. 9 established the physical contact between Pellegrino
and Ramirez but the actual circumstances were not resolved.
There is no resolution of the allegation against Lieutenant Hall
either.
It is recommended that Count No. 10 against Lieutenant Hall be
classified as NOT SUSTAINED.
COUNT NO. 11 The Department alleges that sometime in February
1988, Detective Pellegrino, while on duty, directed an improper
remark to Detective Ramirez by stating, "Chico wants to be a
Mexican but he is a Jew.
Ramirez made the allegation.
