    What You Say NOW

    Margate police officer accused of making harassing phone call

    MARGATE—
    A Margate police officer faces a misdemeanor charge of making a harassing telephone call to his immediate superior and threatening to kill her, police said Tuesday.

    Prosecutors filed the charge Friday against Samuel Lawrence Eferstein, 31, who does not have a history of complaints. He has been on paid leave since June, Margate police officials confirmed. He is a seven-year veteran of the agency working the night-shift road patrol.

    According to his court summons, Eferstein called Margate police Sgt. Kerin Stewart, 50, on June 2 "without disclosing his identity and with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass" Stewart.

    Margate police said Eferstein was on duty during the call and is "alleged to have made a death threat to his immediate supervisor, who was also on duty."

    Meanwhile, Eferstein's defense attorney, Eric Schwartzreich, trumpeted his client's innocence.

    "Officer Eferstein never issued, uttered or made any threat, and he is more than not guilty of this charge. He is innocent," Schwartzreich said. "Officer Eferstein looks forward to his day in court."


    Eferstein is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 30.

    "The department takes every allegation of workplace violence serious," said Lt. Andrew J. Zettek, police spokesman. "When the allegations were reported, a criminal investigation was initiated, which resulted in the issuance of a criminal summons by the Broward State Attorney's Office. "

    He said he couldn't speculate the reason for the threat, but said "after the criminal investigation, an internal administrative investigation will have to determine why."

    Prosecutor David Schulson declined to comment.

    To what you say now: I heard you made a death threat to your boyfriend if he didn't fornicate your rectum. I also heard you threatened to kill him if he pulled out. As a matter of fact I'm going to "Disney World" more false accusations so you get charged because I don't like you. I'm going to pre-write the media release, so when the state, who could only come up with a misdemeanor charge, because my report was terrible and I suck as a Detective Sergeant, so I can try to sway the public to believe the lies that I wrote to bring you down...

    Everyone knows the two females involved in this case are egotistical, lying control freaks, who couldn't lead a blind mice to a pound of cheese... They have lied before to try to bring down other cops who challenge their authority, and they will continue until they are brought to justice.

    If you believe the lies they made up on SE, then you are blind...

    The sad thing for all of the hard working good coppers at MPD is that you now must live in the fear of what SE is having to deal with. The best they could come up with was the BS charge, but yet the man and his family still have to spend their money and fight this. Live on the the fear though that you could be next based on how the story is told. If they will forward this crap there are no limits for what they will do. SE is a good guy and in the end WE hope the good guys WIN. No place for bullies in the PD....right K.....

    SE is a great guy, but obviously somebody has a hard on for him. Even if he beats the charge what will the agency then do (fire him?) for some B.S. policy violation.

    I heard the State filled the charge based on the City's investigation. So what do they have evidence related against SE. I also heard SE gave a statement to the State Attorney's office and a summons was still presented.

    I guess they didn't believe his story of events????

    Find another FRS agency and get out of Margate as fast as you can……………………………This place sucks!!!!!

    July 24, 1994|By ROBIN BENE**** Staff Writer
    SUNRISE — At 20, Jerry Blough had been a cop for only three months in the spring of 1974 when he got the first big scare of his career.

    He was off-duty at a Sunrise restaurant when he saw a man walk out of the Banana Boat Lounge on West Oakland Park Boulevard and pull a machine gun from his trunk. As the man walked toward the bar, Blough stopped him and persuaded the man to drop the gun.




    "At the time, I didn't give it a whole lot of thought," Blough said. "But afterward, a lot of people said they couldn't believe what I did."

    Blough, the assistant chief, is the leading candidate to become interim chief. Commissioners may name him this week to the temporary job. Chief John Soldenwagner retires on Friday.

    Being the interim top cop is nothing new for Blough, who served in that capacity twice in the mid-1980s. He said he will not apply for the chief's job.

    "It is my own personal decision," he said, declining to elaborate. City commissioners have launched a nationwide search for Soldenwagner's replacement and hope to name a new chief by year's end.

    Blough, 40, is paid $66,379 a year as assistant chief. The department has more than 200 employees.

    Blough has spent two decades on the force, rising quickly through the ranks. At 28, he became one of Broward's youngest captains in 1982.

    Three years later, then-Mayor Bob Butterworth, now Florida's attorney general, named him acting chief. Butterworth was mayor in 1985 after then-Mayor John Lomelo Jr. was indicted for mail fraud and extortion.

    In 1986, Soldenwagner became chief and made Blough his assistant.

    A year later, Blough took over the reins as chief when then-Mayor Larry Hoffman suspended and demoted Soldenwagner during a power struggle. Soldenwagner was reinstated in 1988.

    Blough's personnel file is full of commendations. He has routinely received outstanding marks on annual job reviews. He has been disciplined once for damaging a police car, according to his internal affairs file.

    He was suspended without pay for a day in 1980 when he was a road patrol supervisor. He pulled out of the police department parking lot and his patrol car struck another patrol car, causing minor damage to both cars, the report said.

    Two years ago, three men identified Blough as the rowdy bar patron who pulled a gun in a parking lot after being told to leave Robbie's Sports Club on Oct. 18, 1992. Eleven days later, when Soldenwagner escorted the bar owner into Blough's office so he could get a good look at him, the owner said he had made a mistake. Blough wasn't the man who had threatened him, the owner said.



    Internal affairs was not asked to investigate, and no mention of the incident is in Blough's file. Blough said he was not at the bar.

    A Fort Lauderdale native, Blough is an administrator who handles day-to-day operations and drafts the annual budget, now at more than $10 million. He also oversees road officers and detectives, deciding who gets promoted and who doesn't.

    S.E. was, is and in my opinion will still be a great officer. The only reason the city went so far with their investigation of the call was because they thought it was him. The command staff at the police department will go above and beyond what they would do for ordinary Margate citizens to protect their inner circle. Their main problem with S.E. is that he is not a kiss ass and doesn't bow down to them. Any officer at the police department who questions the command staff becomes a target. They will do whatever they can to silence officers who do not agree with them.

    If a complaint is filed against one of these officers who do not go with their program, The command staff will do everything and anything within their power to get rid of these officers. If a complaint is filed against a supervisor they will also do everything they can to make it go away. A perfect example of that would be if a complaint was filed against an officer for racism the supervisors would immediately start an IA investigation, but When a complaint was filed against a LT about racism, they did an informal investigation and blew it off even though many officers gave statements against that person.

    The problems there will never end until every officer becomes a drone and worships the ground the supervisors walk on.

    Okay so what your saying is S.E. should be vindicated at trial???

    Did he make the call from the bouncer's phone or not?

    Did he threaten the Sgt. or did she resign because of other issue's?

    S.E. has a decent lawyer but he told S.E. to resign so he could keep his cert.

    It should be interesting………….


    I believe the wacko cousin finally got terminated, was he a victim of the system also??
