Corrections officers and police patrol festivals to find felons
The state Department of Corrections and Seattle police routinely patrol Seattle's major festivals, making dozens of arrests of felons who violate probation.

By Jennifer Sullivan

Seattle Times staff reporter

PREV of NEXT


THOMAS JAMES HURST / THE SEATTLE TIMES

Department of Corrections' Leslie Mills, left, and Neighborhood Corrections Officer Christina Lacy talk to a member of a DOC work crew on Wednesday. The man, a released felon, was picked up and brought to the work crew to work off an offense rather than going back to prison.
In the 11 years she has patrolled the Bite of Seattle and the Torchlight Parade, Leslie Mills has learned that free festivals aren't only popular with couples and families, but also are favorite hangouts for convicted drug dealers, sex offenders and homeless felons on probation.

Mills, a supervisor for the state Department of Corrections (DOC), says Seattle's major public events often draw felons who are wanted for violating terms of their prison release or who are violating probation merely by being there.

At Seattle's Torchlight Parade last weekend, Mills and other DOC officers and Seattle police arrested 25 people in connection with outstanding warrants or for committing new crimes.

"A lot of felony offenders and probationers are opportunists," said Mills, who supervises the DOC's Northwest Community Response Unit. "Torchlight and the Bite of Seattle provide opportunities for people to sell drugs, buy drugs and commit crimes. It's a party where you can get lost because there are tons and tons of people."

Corrections officers and police who monitor the events question panhandlers or people weaving through the crowd reeking of alcohol, and watch closely for people using drugs. Mills said officers will often approach people and ask for their name. But, she said, most corrections officers recognize DOC clients and know their names and criminal history.

Mills said felons arrested by DOC are taken to jail or briefly detained, then told to check in with their probation officer in the following days.

The effort is part of the DOC's Neighborhood Corrections Initiative program. The program, created in 1997, is a way for Seattle police and DOC to monitor felons assigned to community custody, Washington state's version of probation and parole.

Corrections officers arrested 92 offenders on probation at events this month — 22 at Torchlight and 70 at the Bite of Seattle. Seattle police arrested 28 people at the same two events for various offenses, according to DOC statistics.

The program has been so successful that the number of corrections officers assigned to patrol the Torchlight Parade and the Bite of Seattle has gone from just Mills to nearly a dozen in the past 11 years.

In an effort to keep parolees away from potential trouble, DOC staff will often ask felons who have recently been arrested for using drugs or alcohol or who have a history of violent crime to avoid festivals. Some are even ordered to sign an agreement that they won't attend the Bite or Torchlight, said Neighborhood Corrections Officer Christina Lacy.

"A lot of offenders go down there to deal, use [drugs] and a lot of our offenders are gang-affiliated and they know gangs they are at war with are there and they go to start some trouble," Lacy said. "We're trying to keep them safe and out of trouble from getting a new charge."

Corrections officers also staff the Mardi Gras festivities in Pioneer Square and the New Year's Eve celebration at the Space Needle. Out of the four events, Mardi Gras is the most challenging, Mills said.



"Mardi Gras is where we have the most drinking, drug dealing and violence," Mills said. "People want to come downtown and want to get high, and our offenders take advantage of that."

Seattle police Capt. Steve Brown, who oversees the department's West Precinct, calls the Neighborhood Corrections Initiative officers a "force multiplier" at festivals.

"There are opportunities for problems to erupt with that client base. This is a high-risk group, we put eyes on them and watch them closely," Brown said. "If they're not going to contribute to that event positively, we want them out of there."

At public events, DOC officers work closely with Seattle police officers and are in regular contact with police commanders supervising coverage of the event, Mills said. This year, DOC officers were paired with Seattle police gang officers at the Bite of Seattle, watching for felons dressed in gang colors stirring up trouble, Mills said.

At the Bite of Seattle, a team of DOC officers swarmed two groups of men dressed in gang colors outside the Center House. As the rival groups slowly passed one another, one man in the group spotted the DOC officers and told the people with him to "keep walking," Mills said.

"None of them were eating, none of them were buying any food, none of them were listening to music or participating in any of the events," Mills said of the two groups. "We believe our presence deterred things from going on."

Seattle police gang unit Lt. Ron Wilson said Neighborhood Corrections Initiative officers are a tremendous help at large events because corrections staff can question, detain and arrest people for violating the terms of their probation — something police officers can't do.

"They have an ability to identify people they know firsthand to be under probation and have the ability to talk to and contact people," Wilson said. "People who are on probation and parole are subject for review [only] by people from the Department of Corrections."

Felon Bobby Joe Simpson, 50, said he attended Saturday's Torchlight Parade. He didn't encounter any DOC officers, he said.

"I go every year," Simpson said Wednesday morning after he was picked up by Neighborhood Corrections officers for violating terms of his release by being in an area known as a site for drug-dealing and being in possession of dirty heroin needles. Simpson, who admits he is addicted to heroin, said he never worries about DOC staff being at the festival.

"The only time I worry about that is when I do something wrong," said Simpson, who has 19 convictions for crimes including drug possession, selling fake drugs and forgery.

Simpson was among a group of nine felons assigned to a DOC work crew Wednesday morning for violating terms of their release. Several offenders detained during Torchlight and told to report Wednesday for work crew didn't show up, Mills said.

We have rules in place, but Steve, Hank, ED, and Rob decided that they do not have to follow "rules" or the Constitution and By-Laws.

Concord prison officer arrested on drug charges

The Associated Press




LOWELL, Mass.— A Massachusetts corrections officer who sold eight pounds of marijuana worth $10,000 to an undercover state trooper has been arrested on drug charges.

Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone on Sunday said Robert Sweeney of Dracut was detained in Lowell on charges of possession and distribution of marijuana, ecstasy and steroids. He is also accused of conspiracy to violate the narcotics law.

Prosecutors do not allege the 48-year-old Sweeney engaged in criminal activity at the medium security Concord prison, where he worked. The facility offers medical treatment to prisoners, including substance abuse.

Investigators who searched Sweeney's home after he was arrested Saturday afternoon seized two pounds of marijuana, 100 bottles of steroids and six tablets of ecstasy.

Sweeney is being held on $20,000 cash bail and will be arraigned in Lowell District Court on Monday.

Police raid nets pot plants, guns and a suspect

Ex-correction worker charged

By Kim Ring TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF

SPENCER— A former Department of Correction employee was arraigned yesterday on charges he was growing marijuana for sale in his Main Street apartment and had a loaded gun in his car when police raided his home earlier this month.

Police allegedly found 75 fledgling marijuana plants set under grow lights in a spare bedroom, where the heat was also turned up, in Justin P. Boudreau’s apartment at 6 Main St., Apt. 6, when they conducted a raid May 18.

They also allegedly found two rifles in the apartment and a loaded .40-caliber Sig Sauer handgun in the console of his unlocked car. Mr. Boudreau was arrested Wednesday night on a warrant issued by Western Worcester District Court, East Brookfield.


Officers also seized letters from a female inmate at Framingham State Prison. The letters were addressed to Jeff Podine of 8 Sunset Lane, Spencer, a residence police also raided May 18. In that incident, Jeff M. Castro, 26, of that address, was arrested and charged with drug violations.

Members of the Worcester County Regional Drug and Counter Crime Task Force and Spencer police conducted the investigation. Their report indicates that Jeff Podine is a fictitious name. The Web site, Urbandictionary.com, lists the word “podine” as a slang term for police.

Officers also believe that the inmate’s letters may be related to another crime.

“It is the belief of this officer that these letters might unfold other illegal activities taking place, stemming from the focus of this investigation,” the police report states.

Inside Mr. Boudreau’s apartment, officers seized the 75 plants, a pH test kit, soil, timers and other materials they believe are related to growing the marijuana plants.

Police wrote in their report that Mr. Bourdreau is an employee of the state Department of Correction. A spokesman for that agency said yesterday Mr. Boudreau is no longer working there but declined to say when, or why, his tenure there ended.

At his arraignment in Western Worcester District Court in East Brookfield yesterday, Mr. Boudreau was released on personal recognizance and is slated to appear for a pretrial hearing July 16.

What time do you want the FBI there Stevie, I can promise you that all union members is watching this closely.

Also, if a take over is necessary, I will be there, I am not about to let 20 years go down the drain because of you and your spending frenzies and wasted monies on personal gains, It has been alledged ===== new homes, cars, gambling money, mind altering substances, free sporting events, over inflated expense account, educational pay for elected officials without proper degrees, overtime money for no services rendered, shift diff how bogus, and now we hear the in house fighting about money being used for what.......?

EVERYONE ONE OF US IS ENTITLED TO A DETAILED REPORT AND COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF WHATS GOING ON. If you wish to continue to ask for our support then open the books now.

Members ask this question:

If you need more information just ask any elected steward to see the copy of the letter signed by Kenneway and the other 5 offcials sent out these past few days.(This is scary, to know our money isn't safe is a big time problem and we need to act now before it is to late).

I am calling for all members that ran for an elected position last March 2007 to reach out to one another and assemble a watchdog unit task with overseeing current spendings and also to conduct a full audit of past spendings. Remember, we are entitled to this and if we don't address it now it might be too late.

Let us not get fooled a third time around by the same old it don't concern me, or because some loyalist with personal gains writes a croc of bullshit on this board or better yet its just the union busting by eboard candidate losers, No, I say, if you truely want your union, then get behind the men and women that plan to hold all criminal matters accountable and help us take back what is our righfully so.

Jail guards may switch unions

Decertification vote set for tomorrow

By Shaun Sutner TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
ssutner@telegram.com


WEST BOYLSTON— Correction officers at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction are set to vote tomorrow on whether to leave the union that has represented them for the last dozen years and join an upstart new union that has up to now mainly been associated with police officers.

The decertification election is from 2 p.m.— 5 p.m. at the jail complex’s training center.

The vote among the 360 officers and sergeants will decide whether they leave the Massachusetts Correction Officer Federated Union and join the New England Police Benevolent Association, according to Peter Boyd, chief steward of the MCOFU local.

Mr. Boyd said he will run for president of the new union if members vote to decertify. He maintained that members have been dissatisfied with MCOFU’s representation for some time, and with the local’s 5-year contract expiring June 30, want to go with a union that will help them get better wages and benefits and safer working conditions.

Mr. Boyd noted that the Worcester County MCOFU chapter got total raises of 6 percent over the five years, while state correction officers also represented by MCOFU got 14 percent raises during the same period.

“We feel like we’ve been doormats of the administration for far too long,” Mr. Boyd said. “We’ve been saying for a long time that we want to make the same pay as the state correction officers.”

In recent months, both sides have been campaigning to win the jail employees’ votes.

Below is what management and supervisors (Captains) cannot do under the law with regard to unions or union activity. Some of these may not apply to us, but most do. When you find one of these has been violated, quickly write it down (it's more effective if you begin to write in front of the violator)and give it to a steward or the e-board as soon as possible.

What Employers and Supervisors Can NOT Legally Do

Management can not attend any union meetings, park across the street from a meeting place, or engage in any undercover activity, which would indicate that the employees are being kept under surveillance to determine who is and is not participating in the union program. (IPS works directly for management so make sure to include them as a manager or supervisor)

Management can not tell employees that the company will fire or punish them if they engage in union activity.

Management can not lay off, discharge, or discipline any employee for union activity.

Management can not grant employees wage increases, special concessions, or benefits in order to keep the union out.

Management can not bar employees in support of the union from soliciting employees' memberships on or off the company property during non-working time.

Management can not ask employees about union matters, meetings, etc. (Some employees may, of their own accord, walk up and tell of such matters, but to ask questions to obtain additional information is illegal.)

Management can not ask employees what they think about the union or a union representative.

Management can not ask employees how they intend to vote.

Management can not threaten employees with reprisal for participating in union activities.

Management can not promise to increase benefits to employees if they reject the union.

Management can not give financial support or other assistance to employees or groups of employees who favor or oppose the union.

Management can not announce that the company will not deal with the union.

Management can not threaten to close, in fact close, or move a plant in order to avoid dealing with a union.

Management can not ask employees whether or not they belong to a union, or have signed up for union representation.

Management can not ask an employee, during the hiring interview, about their affiliation with a labor organization or how they feel about unions.

Management can not act in a way that might show preference for a non-union employee.

Management can not make distinctions between union and no-union employees when assigning overtime work or desirable work.

Management can not purposely team up non-union employees and keep them apart from those supporting the union;

Management can not transfer workers on the basis of union affiliation or activities.

Management can not choose employees to be laid off in order to weaken the union's strength or discourage membership in the union.

Management can not discriminate against union people when disciplining employees.

Management can not by nature of work assignments, create conditions intended to get rid of an employee because of his union activity.

Management can not fail to grant a scheduled benefit or wage increase because of union activity.

Management can not deviate from company policy for the purpose of getting rid of a union supporter.

Management can not take action that adversely affects an employee's job or pay rate because of union activity.

Management can not threaten workers or coerce them in an attempt to influence their vote.

Management can not threaten a union member through a third party.

Management can not promise employees a reward or a future benefit if they decide "no union".

Management can not tell employees overtime work (and premium pay) will be discontinued if the plant is unionized.

Management can not say unionization will force the company to lay off employees.

Management can not say unionization will do away with vacations or other benefits and privileges presently in effect.

Management can not promise employees promotions, raises or other benefits if they get out of the union or refrain from joining the union.

Management can not start a petition or circular against the union or encourage or take part in its circulation if started by employees.

Management can not urge employees to try to induce others to oppose the union or keep out of it.

Management can not visit the homes of employees to urge them to reject the union.

Any of the above acts constitutes a violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Therefore, YOU as a worker and a supporter of a free trade union movement should report these acts to your union representative immediately

MARLBOROUGH — A 25-year-old state employee was arrested Sunday night after police said he drove his car to a Dunkin' Donuts drive-through window while naked.

Steven M. Gerrior of 65 West Main St. works for the Department of Correction and has been suspended with pay pending an investigation, said department spokeswoman Diane Wiffin.

Gerrior pulled up to the window around 6:30 p.m. and fondled himself while waiting for his coffee, according to a police report filed in Marlborough District Court.

When a woman working the drive-through window handed Gerrior a napkin he had asked for, she saw he was nude and became too upset to serve him, according to the report. A second female employee handed Gerrior the coffee, and, she, too, saw him touching himself, the report said.

One of the women gave police Gerrior's license plate number, and he was arrested later Sunday night on a charge of open and gross lewdness.

Gerrior was arraigned yesterday in Marlborough District Court. Judge Jonathan
