Officer facing charges in lawsuit with Memphis Police Department

Yet another twist in the Memphis police officer facing charges of soliciting a minor. It turns out officer Jason Webb is suing the Memphis Police Department for $1 million. According to the MPD, this is the reason Webb is on non-enforcement status.
The circumstances of the arrest are unclear; however, officials say it happened outside city limits. However, this is not the first time Webb has seen the back of a police car.

Court documents shows Webb, who was a member of the felony response unit, took a personal day in January 2012. Shortly after midnight, Webb was driving to a friend's house, when he almost hit a tow truck from behind. According to these documents, a man in the truck got out of the car with a gun in his hand, started yelling, and followed Webb when he drove off. Police were called and Webb was subjected to a drunk driving test. Webb failed the test and DUI charges were not filed.

Texts used in Warren cops sexual misconduct hearing

Transcripts of text messages helped refresh a teenage girl’s memory as she testified Wednesday in the case of a former Warren police officer charged with sexual misconduct. The 16-year-old girl was led through some 308 pages of transcripts of text messages from her cell phone, many of them involving the 62-year-old man with whom she said she had consensual sex. Dale Wayne Malesh, of Roseville, faces 10 counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in Roseville. At the start of Malesh’s preliminary exam Wednesday in 39th District Court, the girl said she met Malesh while he still was a Warren police officer assigned as a school resource officer in the Warren Woods Public Schools.The teen — whose name is not being published by The Macomb Daily — testified before Judge Marco Santia that Malesh began helping her after she was bullied at Warren Woods Middle School. That help continued at Warren Woods-Tower High School, where she recently completed her junior year. The girl said she and Malesh became friends, and that she sent him a picture in June 2012 that included her, other students and Malesh.She said he asked her to send another photo, so she provided a picture of herself at homecoming last October.The teen testified that her relationship with Malesh turned sexual last December. She said they “sexted” or spoke daily and that she listed him in her phone as “My QT.”Directed by Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Nicole Blank through the transcripts, the Warren girl confirmed 10 dates between last December and March in which she claimed she had intercourse with Malesh at his Roseville home or at a local motel.The preliminary exam — a probable-cause hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence for a defendant to stand trial ¬— was adjourned until July 24, when the principal of Warren Woods-Tower High School and a teacher are scheduled to testify.The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office filed the Roseville charges against Malesh in June, after he was bound over to Macomb County Circuit Court on four counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in Warren. The offense is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The age of consent in Michigan is 16. Prosecutors have based their case against Malesh on a section of the state’s criminal sexual conduct laws that prohibits a person from using his or her role as a contractual service provider or non-student volunteer to gain access to, or establish a relationship with, minors between ages 16 and 18 for sexual purposes.Malesh remains in the Macomb County Jail on bonds totaling $650,000.As a Warren police officer, he was assigned to the Warren Woods Public Schools as the district’s school resource officer. Known to employees and students as “Officer Dale” and “O.D.,” he held that post from September 1999 until his retirement from the force in January 2011. School officials then hired him as security officer, in which he no longer had the power to make arrests. Malesh continued in that job until June 2012.

Cop charged with illegal use of a minor in sexually oriented material

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - An on-duty Youngstown Police Officer was arrested over night and is being held in the Mahoning County Jail.

Detective-Sergeant Robert Lodwick was arraigned Friday on felony charges of illegal use of a minor in sexually oriented material and importuning.

Lodwick is being held on $100,000 bond and if he is released he will be on electronically-monitored house arrest.

Before Lodwick could be arraigned, other inmates had to be placed on lockdown because they are aware of who he is and have made threats.

Sources say Youngstown Police Chief Rod Foley immediately began an investigation and worked with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, or BCI, to begin a probe into the allegations of misconduct related to a juvenile.

Prosecutors said the 14-year-old alleged victim was a victim in a case and said Lodwick, as an officer, should have been protecting her, not attempting to solicit her as alleged in the criminal complaint.

Lodwick, a lifelong resident of the area,  had been assigned to the Family Services Unit that often deals with juveniles and underage victims, but it's unclear if that's how he met the suspected victim.

The Mahoning County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the arrest.

Lodwick was ordered to have no contact with the juvenile victim and had to surrender his firearm. He is not permitted access to a computer or any other similar device.

Sources tell 21 News Lodwick has admitted to the crimes to authorities
