Protection Racket-How a DC Meth Dealer gained the protection of the DC police Chief Cathy Lanier and the DC Attorney General

DC AG Irvin B. Nathan

DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier

How did a local  crack dealer gain the protection of 2 of the the nation's most powerful law enforcement officials?

October 14, 2013, PoliceAbuse.com will release a documentary film report about corruption within the DC Police Department. Our story includes evidence collected over the past 3 years about disciplinary actions within the DC Police Department. Officers accused of serious off-duty misconduct went undisciplined. Several victims who filed complaints against DC police officers learned that months later guilty verdicts were overturned by the accused officer's superior.

But the story took an alarming twist when the DC police Chief Cathy Lanier attempted to stop the story from being published. After learning of the report Chief Lanier joined forces with a local meth dealer. The meth dealer knew about our investigation of the DC police. The meth dealer was essentially given a get out of jail free card by the police Chief so long as he supplied information to thwart our report.

Under Lanier's protection, the meth dealer went on a crime spree across the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland with full police protection. Though Lanier knew that the meth dealer had two fugitive warrants no arrest was made. The Chief was providing protection to a drug dealer to stop this story from being published. Despite the Chief's help the drug dealer was eventually arrested on 2 fugitive warrants April 24, 2012 and again in June 2012. Our investigation is ongoing. We will release our findings in October.

Witness interview April 12, 2013

Daniel J Linsinbigler Jr. died Tuesday in a Clay County jail cell. Local news reports have focused on Linsinbigler's strange behavior prior to his arrest. Linsinbigler is alleged to have been running naked in 30° weather prior to his arrest. He is alleged to have consumed unknown drugs and synthetic marijuana leading to his contact with the police.

But very little is known about his death. Police officials have released limited information. The Clay County Sheriff's office will only say that Linsinbigler was in restraints when he died.

PoliceAbuse.com has breaking news on this story. Inmates who witnessed Linsinbigler's death have contacted PoliceAbuse.com. According to the witnesses who were on the floor in solitary confinement Linsinbigler could be heard begging for his life after he had been pepper sprayed and locked in restraints. According to inmates housed on the same floor Linsinbigler screamed as jail guards placed a plastic bag over his head. The inmates contacted PoliceAbuse.com fearing retaliation from jail staff. We are contacting the FBI and the Florida Department of law enforcement with evidence related to this abuse investigation. Jacksonville Times Union report



We are also investigating a complaint in the Holmes County Florida jail.

Sunnyvale Police Department-"it's just a clerical error."

Our client Doug McMillan is a consulting criminal justice professional, but he is no longer employable in his field of work. A police department's negligence has cost him his career and perhaps his family. Doug is losing his home and has filed bankruptcy after a string of failed job interviews. 5 years after it was entered in error, Doug found  that he had been wrongfully added to a criminal database as a violent offender. Doug has never been convicted of any crime. Policeabuse.com is working to clear his name. We are seeking support in pursuing legislation that will prevent similar abuse from happening to anyone else.

Unfortunately Doug is not alone. Other reports:
