NYPD Officer Accused of Theft of $1300 Cash From Suspect




From article]
The investigation was launched after a video emerged showing the unidentified officer putting his hand into the pocket of Lamard Joye and pulling out what looks like papers as the Brooklyn man is ­being held up against a fence shortly after midnight on Sept. 16.
In the video — which was taken by an onlooker with a cellphone camera — Joye can be heard yelling after the officer took the “papers.”
“Give me my money, man! Give me my money!” Joye exclaims.
The officer then pepper-sprayed him, said Joye’s ­attorney, Robert Marinelli.

After allegedly taking the dough and pepper-spraying Joye, the cop also pepper-sprayed Joye’s sister, Lateefah Joye, who protested the alleged cash grab, Marinelli said. She had also asked for the officer’s shield number.
