lice Bienvenido Perez, who orig
inally filed the complaint and
recommendation for dismissal.
Perez said he saw Carr sitting on
the bed in the women prisoners
room. The chief said he had no
written orders against entering
the room but had issued verbal
orders to that effect. Lieutenant
Ray Atwell testified that such or
ders had been issued verbally to
all members of the police force.
Carr admitted taking magazines
into the room at the request of a
prisoner and sitting on the bed.
In statement to The Citizen
following the hearing this morn
ing, Carr said:
ut seems to be. pretty strong
verdict for such a minor offense.
1t is also so soon after the gamb-
ling raid | made on Division
street. It's tough when a man
can't make one small mistake and
be excused for it especially after
some of the things which have
been happening without anything
being done about them, such as
men staying off duty without call
ing in, which is against direct
written orders"
Carr said "all officers on the
force go in the women prisoners
room at one time or another, on
errands. because there is no police
matron."
Murray said that he was
recommending immediately that
police matron be. hired and that
orders of the police chief hence
forth be placed in writing.
