Thomas Gagliardi, Det. Craig Rosenberg, and Det. Peter Bohringer, in an unmarked blue RMP (Allegations A, B, and C). None of the officers wore shields or identified themselves as police officers. After a brief discussion with [redacted] Sgt. Gagliardi told [redacted] that he would not issue a summons if [redacted] consented to a search (Allegation D). [redacted] did provide consent for Sgt. Gagliardi to search him. Sgt. Gagliardi did not ask [redacted] for ID, but he opened [redacted] jacket and put his hands into its outer chest pockets (Allegation E). Sgt. Gagliardi then searched [redacted] pants pockets as Det. Rosenberg and Det. Bohringer observed. After the search, Sgt. Gagliardi told Det. Rosenberg and Det. Bohringer that [redacted] did not have anything and was not the person they were looking for. The officers left the scene without any further discussion with [redacted]. Read report for details.
