    POLICE CAPTAIN PUNISHEDWILLIAM TOKAJER ALSO GETS SIX MONTHS' PROBATION
    FOR DERELICTION DURING APOLICE BRUTALITY INCIDENT.(LOCAL/STATE)
    Sarasota Herald Tribune| March 01, 1997 | Nguyen, Phuong
    Byline: Phuong Nguyen STAFF WRITER

    A high-ranking official with the Bradenton Police Department was placed
    on two weeks' suspension and six months' probation Friday following an
    internal investigation that found him derelict during a police
    brutality incident.

    Counseling statements will be issued to two other officers who were
    present during the incident. The measure is one of the mildest forms of
    discipline a Bradenton Police officer can receive.

    Capt. William Tokajer - who held the rank of lieutenant on Feb. 1,
    1996, when one of his shift members used unwarranted force against a
    suspect - was faulted for not promptly reporting what occurred.

    Tokajer was the direct supervisor of officers Kevin Carmichael, Curtis
    Johnson and Rich Murray, who that day patrolled areas in the city known
    for illicit narcotic violations.

    Carmichael is accused of using unnecessary brutality by hitting a man
    on the head with his agency-issued flashlight following a foot chase.
    The man, Louis Shelley, suffered a cut to his head and a broken finger.

    Shelley told another officer while being treated at the hospital that
    other officers made him sign a statement saying he hit his head on a
    fence or a rock.

    Polaroids were taken of Shelley's injuries during the booking process.
    Yet the pictures cannot be found.

    Only when another officer heard about the incident and reported the
    allegations to supervisors Sept. 3, 1996, was an internal investigation
    launched.

    In the meantime, an independent criminal probe into the arrested man's
    allegations surfaced. The internal review was suspended.

    Findings on Friday state, "While a prompt and more detailed reporting
    of the incident by the involved parties would certainly not have
    lessened Carmichael's culpability, it would have allowed for quicker
    Departmental action and may have prevented (a) later incident." Deputy
    Chief Walt Watkins also wrote, "The responsibility to see that this
    documentation occurred was that of Captain (then Lieutenant) Tokajer."

    Tokajer knew what transpired between suspect Shelley and Carmichael,
    Shelley told authorities.

    Tokajer subsequently failed a polygraph test when asked about the
    extent of his knowledge surrounding the events.
    ". . . Captain Tokajer should have acted more responsibly with regard
    to this situation," Maj. Anthony Meador wrote in his findings, made
    public Friday. ". . . He should have written a report and detailed
    memorandum outlining the entire incident involving Louis Shelley."

    Tokajer's punishment is considered severe among penalties that can be
    issued at the Bradenton Police Department.

    Officer Carmichael on July 31 was arrested in the case, on charges of
    aggravated battery and official misconduct. Carmichael's case is
    pending in court. He maintains his innocence.

    The internal probe of the incident was resumed after Carmichael's
    arrest. Bradenton Police Detective Pat Proudler reported as part of
    Carmichael's arrest that Johnson, Tokajer and Murray may have covered
    up the brutality.

    Two accusations of brutality have surfaced against Carmichael.

    Even before his arrest and firing, Carmichael was suspended after
    authorities investigated another officer's charge. This one claimed
    excessive force by Carmichael on Feb. 25, 1996 - weeks after the first
    incident. Carmichael was found guilty of excessive-force related
    charges at the conclusion of the internal review.

    In the later incident, Carmichael likewise was accused of hitting a
    28-year-old man with a flashlight during an arrest. The second incident
    occurred at the Blue Moon Bar.

    No criminal charges were filed in that case.

    In his findings Friday, Deputy Chief Watkins referred to the first
    instance of abuse when he wrote, ". . . a prompt and more detailed
    reporting of the incident . . . may have prevented the later incident
    at the Blue Moon Bar altogether."

    And Watkins wrote, "The two-week suspension of Captain Tokajer is
    severe, however, considering all circumstances, and the fact that he
    was both present and directly in charge of the entire incident, I
    believe it to be appropriate." Tokajer issued this prepared statement
    Friday afternoon:

    "Early on in this investigation I asked God for forgiveness for the
    errors I made. Now that the investigation is over I would like to
    apologize to my family, friends, department members and community. . .
    . I accept the finding of my department. In the future while following
    God's plan, I will be sure to use better judgment. I am working towards
    doing the best job I can for my family, my department and my
    community."

    As for the other officers with knowledge of the first flashlight
    incident, Johnson was cleared of charges of official misconduct and
    Murray was cleared of charges of police brutality and official
    misconduct.

    Murray and Johnson were cited for not completing any supplemental
    reports or use-of-force forms.

    Carmichael was found guilty of brutality and cleared of official
    misconduct. Because Carmichael is no longer with the force, he does not
    face disciplinary action. Had he still been employed, he would have
    been fired Friday, Meador wrote.

    The department declined to comment on the investigation, citing
    possible civil litigation.
