Staten Island cops arrested in disciplining of egg tosser
Friday, November 02, 2007 | 6:28 PM
Allegedly stripped teen, dropped off in swampy area
Eyewitness News
(Staten Island - WABC, November 2, 2007) -- Two Staten Island police officers were arrested Friday after they allegedly went too far in trying to scare a prankster they found tossing eggs on Halloween.
Police officers Richard Danese and Thomas Elliassen, of the 120th Precinct, were arrested by NYPD Internal Affairs investigators on Staten Island this afternoon and charged with unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a minor.
Family members told the Daily News that the two officers stripped the clothes off 14-year-old Rayshawn Moreno and dumped him in a desolate place Wednesday.
The officers reportedly found the boy throwing eggs at cars in a 120th Precinct neighborhood around 8:30 p.m.
The cops are then accused of driving the teen, who is a freshman at Port Richmond High School, to a swampy area in the 122nd Precinct and dropping him off wearing only boxer shorts and socks.
Moreno's father, James Hezel, said Moreno walked to a Burlington Coat Factory store on South Avenue and asked a security guard there to call his parents, who picked him up.
"Rayshawn was taken to a secluded, remote area, stripped of his clothes, beaten by the officers and left for dead," Hezel told the Daily News.
The cops later told their supervisor that they dropped the kid off to scare him, the newspaper reported. They said they returned to find him later, but that he was gone.
"He is shaken up," Hezel told the paper. "He is scared. He is terrified."
Elliassen and Danese, both 28 years old, had been plance on modified duty. Their guns were taken away, and they were both working behind desks.
Now, they face a lot more trouble than disciplinary action.
