"In or around February 2010, Sergeant Stukes received an order to report to the Quality Assurance Division at 300 Gold Street Brooklyn, N.Y. During the Department Interview Sergeant Stukes answered questions posed to him by Executive Officer Lieutenant Michael Brill regarding the allegations of corruption reported to the Internal Affairs Bureau by Police Officer Adrian Schoolcraft. Police Officer Schoolcraft made numerous allegations about the intentional downgrading and/or misclassifications of criminal complaint reports filed within the 81st Precinct. At the time, Sergeant Stukes was Police Officer Schoolcraft’s squad sergeant. "
Yesterday, approximately forty-two (42) months after Sergeant Stukes was ‘Modified’ the Department finally restored him back to ‘Full Duty’ status.
“It does not take a great leap in logic to understand that in order for Sergeant Stukes to have been indicted, evidence had to be presented during the Grand Jury proceedings attesting that documents and other evidence presented were examined presumably by the Internal Affairs Bureau investigators’ and attributable to him. Unfortunately, the Kings County District Attorney’s Office as well as the Supreme Court of the State of New York participated, condoned or acquiesced to the Internal Affairs Bureau’s gross incompetence at the least; serious misconduct and/or even criminal conduct at the worst. To this date, no one is accountable for this gross injustice. Sergeant Stukes’s Civil Rights meant nothing” Eric Sanders says.
