If you’ve been watching the news lately, then you know about the very unfortunate incident that happened to Texans running back Ryan Moats. Now comes news that the wife of linebacker Zach Thomas was harassed as well. These incidents are disturbing, and giving the Dallas PD a black eye. Here’s what happened with Thomas’s wife:
Maritza Thomas was issued five tickets by Powell, four of which were later dismissed. Thomas was handcuffed, placed in the back of a police cruiser, spent about three hours in the Dallas County Jail and was threatened with the possibility of spending the night behind bars.
“This in no way compares to what happened to Ryan Moats and his family,” said Zach Thomas, who played for the Cowboys last season and is now a free agent. “But we wanted to tell our story, not knowing how many others have been affected by Officer Powell. We know the vast majority of the Dallas police force are good and professional people, but this guy just seems excessive.”
Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse, a Dallas police spokesman, declined to comment on Thomas’ allegation.
However, he said police would investigate all complaints submitted to the department about Powell.
“If she feels Officer Powell did something wrong, we’ll investigate it,” Janse said. “We are not going to go back and track everything this officer has done,” he said. “If people come to us with concerns, we’ll look into it.” (DMN)
Wow, not good for Officer Powell with another high profile professional coming forward, this could have a domino effect. Obviously this officer is a complete turd, simple as that. Makes you wonder what this guy’s problem is.
