Kurt Sova PART V – UPDATE Crime Stoppers

December 7, 2019 Press Graye

EXIT 9 Investigations: Series 1 – Kurt Sova PART V:(UPDATE CRIME STOPPERS)

The Kurt Sova case is getting new attention. As this is our only case where the location is in another region of the United States – we have not had proper sources or channels of communication with law enforcement.

The new investigation is a collaboration between the Newburgh Heights Police Department, the Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County, and students from Tiffin University. With the blessing of Kurt’s brother, Kevin Sova, the authorities and students have access to a box of materials collected by Dorothy Sova, Kurt’s mother. Hopefully, the case can be one step closer to being solved. I don’t know if the students will also be permitted to investigate the Newburgh Heights Police Department, disgraced former detective Robert Carras, and Police Chief James F. Lukas. They obviously know more than anyone else connected to the case today, and Robert Carras has remained silent. James F. Lukas has at least defended his lack of investigation.

What also needs attention is the lack of funds or agenda allocated to the case from the Ohio Crime Stoppers program; other than receiving mainstream attention from Unsolved Mysteries, the Newburgh Heights Police Department and Crime Stoppers ignored the matter. They overlooked a tainted investigation, let a potential suspect walk, and told the Sova family they were not to press the issue with Debbie and Clayton Sam about their party at the duplex.

Below we list the Ohio Crime Stoppers donations given and their agenda for the highlighted years of 1980-1988. This is a sample of what is included in our 2020 Kurt Sova Case File.

The Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County and Newburgh Heights Police Department had ample opportunities to assign a task force to reexamine the investigation into the death of Kurt Sova. Below I’ve included the Cuyahoga County Police Chief’s Associations agenda for 1981-1982.

Unsolved Mysteries filmed their episode on Kurt Sova in 1988. There’s no mention of any funds used for the filming, nor of Kurt Sova’s death. The source material is from a book entitled “History of CCPCA.” It provides information for the years 1926-2001.

ACCOUNTABILITY

The Sova family was ordered by Police Chief James F. Lukas to cease any attempts to visit the duplex where Kurt was said to be at, notifying them that any further progression of their efforts would result in harassment.

Former Newburgh Heights Detective Robert Carras once took a suspect, Eric Kotonski to an empty lot of land near Harvard Avenue and threatened him. Harvard Avenue is where the duplex is located.

Although the Unsolved Mysteries episode showed a reenactment of a crime scene in which photographs were taken of Kurt’s crucified position, none of the actual crime scenes were documented. The only Polaroid pictures consisted of Kurt on the stretcher and in the ambulance. The police never searched the duplex, and no request was made to nearby Cleveland PD for assistance in the investigation; an inquiry from Cleveland PD was turned away by Newburgh Heights PD, according to Dorothy Sova.

Four different agencies (Cuyahoga Sheriff’s Department, F.B.I., Newburgh Heights PD, Cleveland PD) looked into the case and found no new leads. Eighteen months after Kurt’s death, a Cleveland Police Detective Al Figler looking into the case found the handling of crime-scene by Newburgh PD to be a “joke.” Missing paperwork, lack of evidence, and forthcoming witnesses plagued the cold case.

Newburgh Heights Police Department let the only suspect of the crime walk free. The ‘homeless man’ who harrassed Judy Oros at Slavic Village Records and PREDICTED Kurt Sova’s body would be found. EXIT 9I has from a source that the homeless man was a red herring, deployed by someone to make the death look like part of a bigger picture.

Angeline Reddicks stated she saw two males dragging what looked like to be an unconscious teenage male toward the ravine. This account was never relayed to the Sova family and only came to their attention when they ran into Angeline and sparked a conversation. She waited to give a statement out-of-fear but finally contacted the sheriff’s department in 1989 but never heard back.

Dorothy Sova stated about Angeline Reddicks not being interviewed:

“I’m not surprised they (Newburgh Heights police) didn’t interview her,” Dorothy Sova said. “They didn’t interview half the people who came to me with stuff. Carras kept playing me off as the mother who would not accept her son’s death.”

EXIT 9 Investigations: Series 1 – Shawn Lucas PART III: (D.C. Evidence – DNC-Process Server Shawn Lucas and evidence provided by his girlfriend at-the-time)

We now release the last of the Savannah King interview. Savannah dated Shawn Lucas at-the-time of his mysterious death.

You can read Part I and Part II of the interview.

EVIDENCE

EXIT 9 INVESTIGATIONS asked Savannah King about any suspicious details she noticed concerning Shawn’s body and the crime scene. EXIT 9 INVESTIGATIONS present her statement, in-full.

“When I went to identify his body at the coroner’s facility with his family, I noticed a second scratch on his left upper cheek, and his upper lip was bruised and puffy. As if something of someone punched him in his mouth.

That same day I came back to our apartment with his brother, and when walking into the bathroom for the first time since his passing, I found his front tooth on the ground lying on our bathmat. That raised even more suspicions to his brother and me. Also, we searched for any signs of struggle, for example, was the shower curtain tugged or mangled? Were there any marks or dings on the walls? Or if anything seemed out of place? We found nothing like that, though.

I question the fact that if he fell and hit his head how the gash would be on the top middle of his head? How could something so hard knock out his tooth? Where did these marks on his cheeks come from? An even bigger question, why were his keys, phone, and wallet just sitting in our sink? I ask this to myself because he 100% of the time hangs up his keys next to our front door, and places his wallet on our front entrance table.

(EXIT 9 PHOTO)

The autopsy report stated that his drug report showed a combination of 3 drugs, including fentanyl, kratom, and a muscle relaxer. The muscle relaxers he was prescribed. That showing up in his system wasn’t a surprise to me. The fentanyl and kratom have my mind blown and confused. So the cause was considered “combined adverse effects of drugs.” The report did not make any note at any point about the suspicious marks on several parts of his body though.

Screenshot_2019-09-15 Shawn Lucas (D C Suspicions)(4)

A detailed and thorough report stating and going thru each area of his body that all was in perfect condition. I have reasons to believe the autopsy report was tampered with and false. I, unfortunately, I was not able to get further information about it since Shawn and I were not married, and me only being a girlfriend, I couldn’t dig further into this case surrounding his death. I begged his mother to do some research more on his death, but she refused to believe it was anything more than an overdose.”

Shawn Lucas and his girlfriend Savannah King lived in the Dupont Circle district of Washington D.C. This is two miles from the Bloomingdale district where DNC-Employee Seth Rich was murdered.

According to Savannah, Detective Greene, badge #02-1515 and D.C. Metro Officer Fitzgerald #7673 laughed at her when she made a comment about Shawn’s death possibly being connected to Seth Rich’s murder.

“The police state that his death was all due to an accidental overdose. They deemed it unrelated to any political retaliation. In fact, laughed in my face when I brought that up to them. Given Seth Rich, who got shot in broad daylight minutes away from our neighborhood just days prior. My gut tells me they know something and aren’t telling the public, keeping dirty secrets that they know would get the public fuming.“

THE D.C. INVESTIGATION

The police didn’t question any neighbors nor Savannah King.
The police examined the crime scene in the apartment for five-six hours.
The police left-behind Shawn’s tooth. A vital piece of evidence.
The police didn’t find the keys and wallet in the sink suspicious.
The police treated Shawn’s death as a “natural death”.
The police found no trace of drugs in the apartment. No Fentanyl and no Kratom.
The D.C. Medical Examiner tested for Fentanyl and Kratom – results were positive.

SHAWN LUCAS

We asked Savannah King what type of person Shawn Lucas was.

“Shawn was, without a doubt, the friend that you would be super grateful to have. He’d drop anything to make sure his loved ones and friends were taken care of, and he helped in ways unimaginable, going above and beyond. He had the biggest heart and brought out the best in everyone.

He was the life of the party and did a kick-ass job spreading positivity everywhere he went. He was a hard worker, dedicated to anything he did in life, chased his dreams, and succeeded. He made such an impact on the lives of so many people, he was a true legend in the DC area, and people looked up to him; he was the greatest mentor and sweetest soul. I could write novels more on who he was, but words can’t even describe the type of amazing man he was.“

Shawn Lucas PART II: (D.C. Connections – DNC-Employee Seth Rich & DNC Process Server Shawn Lucas)

September 12, 2019 Press Graye 2 Comments

EXIT 9 Investigations: Series 1 – Shawn Lucas PART II:(D.C. Death Connections – Seth Rich)

Savannah King’s statement to EXIT 9 Investigations:

“The police state that his death was all due to an accidental overdose. They deemed it unrelated to any political retaliation. In fact, they laughed in my face when I brought that up to them. Given Seth Rich had got shot in broad daylight minutes away from our neighborhood just weeks prior.”

What is the connection between Shawn Lucas and Seth Rich? They lived near each other, both were politically involved but they never met in-person. The real link is the timing of their deaths. Shawn Lucas was discussed in Part I.

SUNDAY, JULY 10, 2016

On July 10 of 2016, DNC-Staffer Seth Rich was shot twice in the back while walking to his residence in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington DC. The initial motive was believed to be related to a botched robbery, although no items were taken from Seth’s possession.

According to D.C. Metro Police:

“At approximately 4:19 am, members of the Fifth District were patrolling the area when they heard gunshots. Upon arrival on the scene, members located an adult male victim conscious and breathing and suffering from gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to an area hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.“

During 2016, there were 301 homicides and 205 shootings in D.C. that resulted in homicides. Seth Rich was the only homicide in 2016 of a white male within the vicinity of the Bloomingdale neighborhood.

(2016 D.C. homicides)

The other victims were:

Otis Byrd (Unsolved)

44 years, male, black

Stabbing

Omar Lindsay (Unsolved)

42 years, male, black

Shooting

Eric Garrett

23 years, male, black

Shooting

Jamar Morris (Unsolved)

28 years, male, black

Shooting

The last caucasian to be murdered near the area was in 2005.

Diana Ngbokoto

30 years, female, white

Beating and/or trauma

The theories that surround Seth’s death and the possibility of a planned murder line-up with the history of the area’s crime rate demographic. Due to Seth’s connection to the DNC and possibly WikiLeaks – it’s hard to overlook the lingering holes in the investigation. Robberies in Washington D.C. are not uncommon, but usually, items are taken from the victim; Seth Rich had all his belongings intact.

In 2015 a trail of robberies took place in the D.C. area; it spanned through Capitol Hill, 13th street and several other locations including Chevy Cha Village. The assailants ordered the victims to their knees, demanded the authorization codes to any devices and their wallets/jewelry. One of the victims spoke to the Washington Post about the incident.

“I heard a couple of quick steps, then felt a gun in my back,” he said. They took his phone and wallet but left without the code to his accounts. “I was so frazzled by the whole thing,”

According to the Daily Mail, the police believe Seth’s murder to be a product of a botched robbery: “The Bloomingdale area that Rich had been walking in at the time of his murder had been terrorized by a recent string of armed robberies. In fact, [Daily Mail reporter Alana] Goodman found that Rich’s murder occurred at a street corner where two other robberies occurred. Goodman described the corner as “a desolate-looking residential block shielded by new construction sites and notably absent of surveillance cameras.“

Wikileaks offered a $20,000 reward for information on Seth Rich’s murder.

Assange’s cryptic statement.

“There’s a 27-year-old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back, murdered, just two weeks ago, for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington… I am suggesting that our sources, take risks and they, they become concerned to see things occurring like that”

Seth Rich was alive when cops arrived on the scene. Did the body cameras capture any evidence related to the murder?

(first responders on the scene of Seth Rich shooting)

SUSPICIONS

The lawyers involved in the DNC lawsuit Jared and Elizabeth Beck were suspicious of Shawn Lucas’s death, along with Seth Rich’s “botched robbery.” Shawn and Seth were potential witnesses in the DNC Fraud Lawsuit.

Statement from website Zero Hedge:

”Jared Beck told Disobedient Media that Lucas would have served as a witness in order to rebut the defendant’s contention that process was incorrectly served. This would have included a sworn declaration from Lucas; Beck stated that footage of Lucas serving process had been introduced as evidence in the case in his stead, due to the unexpected death.”

According to America First Media Group; a private security firm known as Crowdstrike received payments from the DNC that correlates to Shawn Lucas and Seth Rich’s dates of deaths.

Savannah King also stated to EXIT 9 Investigations about Shawn Lucas:

“When I went to identify his body at the coroner’s facility with his family, I noticed a second scratch on his left upper cheek and his upper lip was bruised and puffy. As if something of someone punched him in his mouth.”

When asked about Shawn’s demeanor after serving the DNC lawsuit, she said:

“Shawn wasn’t nervous if anything filled with excitement knowing he accomplished something he was passionate about politically. No death threats were received just your typical hate comments on the viral video. However, I myself received death threats following the time of his death, on several occasions I’m guessing it was surrounded by the fact that I was his long-time partner.”

Want to know more about the case? What other details surround Shawn’s death? What was found in the bathroom sink? Did the cops find any traces of drugs in the apartment that matched what was in his system?

Shawn Lucas: (D.C. Suspicions – The Death of a DNC Process Server)

September 12, 2019 Press Graye 3 Comments

EXIT 9 Investigations: Series 1 – Shawn Lucas:(D.C. Suspicions – The Death of a DNC Process Server)

*Don’t forget to subscribe to our mailing list. We send exclusive content to all our members.

Exit 9 Investigations interviewed Shawn Lucas’ girlfriend at-the-time of his death, Savannah King. We’ve been in communication since 2016 but she is finally ready to speak about the investigation.

This is an exclusive look at the case from a first-hand perspective.

38-year-old Process Server Shawn Lucas rose to fame through a video live-streamed of himself accompanied by a cameraman entering the DNC headquarters on July 1, 2016, to serve a lawsuit related to the misconduct of then DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman. The video went viral and provided insight into Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC’s agenda into suppressing the platform and votes of the Bernie Sanders’ campaign.

The revelation of the lawsuit took place less than three weeks before the July 22, 2016, WikiLeaks/DNC dump of emails that would prove the allegations against the DNC to be true; Debbie Wasserman resigned from her position after the revelations.

FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2016

Shawn Lucas was asked by friend Brandon Yoshimura if he wanted to take a one-time job as a process server for One Source Process. Shawn Lucas was an avid Bernie Sanders supporter and jumped at the chance to serve a lawsuit to the Democratic National Committee and DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The lawsuit ‘Carol Wilding v. DNC Services Corporation‘ claimed that the DNC Charter was rigged in favor of candidate Hillary Clinton over her opponent Bernie Sanders. It was spearheaded by lawyers Jared Beck and Elizabeth Beck.

Shawn appeared at the DNC headquarters in Washington D.C. with camera operator Ricardo O. Villalba. The lawsuit was served to DNC special assistant, Rebeca Herries.

MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 2016

Shawn and Savannah were to attend a three-day festival in Pennsylvania. Bad weather postponed the trip.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2016

Since they were stuck-in town; Shawn decided to accept a bartending job he’d been offered. The bar was a 15-minute walk from his apartment in Dupont.

He worked from 11 am until 2 pm. Savannah was working an 8am-6pm shift.

Shawn texted Savannah at 2:30 pm but never responded after that.

Below is Savannah King’s full statement about discovering Shawn Lucas’ body.

“Every day that I arrived home from work, the minute I walk thru the front door I’m greeted by him instantly. However, this day was way different. We lived in a 3 bedroom apartment and typically hung out in the room closest to the front door, which we turned into a living room area. This is where he’d typically be whenever I got home. So when I walked inside that day not hearing a ‘Hey babe’ was strange to me. I checked the front room the TV and lights were on, he wasn’t there.

I made my way down our unusually long hallway, passing our bedroom not seeing any sign of him there either. Then checked the bathroom, to see him on the floor face down on his stomach. I immediately called 911 and it took them a while to arrive. It being DC traffic I can understand why. His skin was patchy blue and pale, due to what I assumed was livor mortis of his skin, and his skin was cold to the touch.

He had a pretty noticeable round gash on the top center of his head as well as what looked like a large deep scratch down his right cheek. However, there wasn’t an excessive amount of blood anywhere, just a tiny bit on the bathmat. Our bathroom was rather small. The space between the wall and bathtub very narrow, which was where his body was positioned. With him being a heavier guy, it was nearly impossible for me to flip him onto his back to give him CPR. Especially given the little to no space for me to even attempt to roll him onto his back.

Once police/ambulance arrived there was nothing they could do, he’d been considered deceased by the coroner immediately upon arrival. The police officers had me wait in the living room and one officer was told to keep watch on me while they proceeded to go around our home taking pictures and investigating for a total of 5 hours.

From 7pm-12am, which I find totally suspicious to this day. They forced me to remain seated on our couch while they continued on. I wasn’t even allowed to go to my own kitchen for water, as I was breaking down. I got a very strange vibe from the entire crew in our apartment that night. I don’t know what they were either looking for or using those pictures for. Nobody answered a single question I asked and instead, ignored my existence. Another thing I find sketchy is how the detective never questioned me about anything except for the exact time I found him. He didn’t bother asking neighbors either. Shawn was far from a drug user, in fact, he despised drugs considering the number of friends he’s lost. He was a healthy man, with zero health issues.“

(Shawn Lucas Incident Report)

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2016

The Office of D.C. Chief Medical Examiner relayed Shawn’s death as an accident due to a mixture of drugs.

His autopsy showed several drugs in his system.

Fentanyl – Synethic opioid

Cyclobenzaprine – Muscle relaxer

Mitragynine – Kratom; a natural herb

Savannah doesn’t have a copy of Shawn’s autopsy as D.C.’s medical privacy laws dictate the release of that information only to immediate family members.

Savannah King stated to EXIT 9 Investigations:

“The muscle relaxers he was prescribed. That showing up in his system wasn’t a surprise to me. The fentanyl and kratom have me mind blown and confused. So the cause was considered ‘combined adverse effects of drugs.’ The report did not make any note at any point about the suspicious marks on several parts of his body though.

A detailed and thorough report stating and going through each area of his body, that all was in perfect condition. I have reasons to believe the autopsy report was tampered with and false. I, unfortunately, was not able to get further information about it since Shawn and I were not married, and me only being a girlfriend I couldn’t dig further into this case surrounding his death.“

Christopher Thompkins Part II: (Follow the Clues Update)

EXIT 9 Investigations: Series 1 – Christopher Thompkins PART II: (Follow The Clues Update)

*Don’t forget to subscribe to our mailing list. We send exclusive content to all our members.

Initially, Harris County Sheriff Mike Jolley oversaw the investigation; the Harris County Sheriff’s Office concluded that Christoper walked off the job site on his own accord. The G.B.I. (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) has assisted in the case of Christopher Thompkins since Christopher’s family and the National Joshua Generation Empowerment Movement requested Sheriff Jolley to turn over the matter.

EXIT 9I examined the details of Christopher’s case; we assembled an outline and investigative map to showcase the crime scene. Also included are questions to be posed regarding the day Christopher went missing.

Listed below are bodies of water close to the crime scene.

Cunningham Lake: 5,011 ft.

Faulkner Lake: 4,322 ft.

Jenkins Lake: 5,274 ft.

Those are the three most significant bodies of water located near where Christopher went missing; the remaining are reservoirs, ponds, streams, creeks, and watering holes. Have these spots been checked by professional dive crews?

Christopher’s missing shoe was found 3,777 ft on the other side of the property he initially was last seen at.

The fence line separates an open field from the highway. On the other side of the open field is a dense area of trees.

The bird’s-eye view shows the correlation of the fence line, the open field, and the dense trees.

Two separate viewpoints of the highway where Christopher went missing.

There are multiple theories of how a wild animal or “creature” could’ve snatched Christopher without his co-workers noticing. This would be nearly impossible, given the openness of the area, and the volume of traffic both Mehaffey Road and Manchester Highway encounter on a daily basis. Was a trail of blood located? We would assume no since it was not listed in the initial findings. This should eliminate the wild animal theory.

EXIT 9I requested that a retired F.B.I. Agent take a look at the summary of the evidence provided. They presented a list of questions/checklist that would be explored in an official investigation.

Christopher’s email address (Did he have contact with someone through an online chatroom or the dark web?)
Christopher’s religion.
Christopher’s school connections (former students, friends)
Christopher’s sexuality (was he Straight, Bisexual, or Homosexual)
Christopher’s history of drug use and/or mental illness.
Christopher’s hobbies outside of work.
Christopher’s availability during the time period before he went missing. Did he attend any concerts, bars, or public places days before the disappearance?
Christopher’s vocal loudness (Was he soft-spoken or a loud presence?)
Christopher’s relationship with his employer and fellow employees.

Abduction or foul play was their conclusion.

Christopher left his house for work at 8:10 am. He wasn’t reported missing until 1 pm. This leaves a 4-5 hour window for the abduction or foul play to take place. The body could’ve been disposed at any of the surrounding bodies of water or dense woodlands.

This is an official EXIT 9 investigation.

Kurt Sova PART III: (*To Protect and Serve Newburgh Heights)

March 3, 2019 Press Graye 3 Comments

EXIT 9 Investigations: Series 1 – Kurt Sova PART III: (To Protect and Serve Newburgh Heights)

Read Part II.

The following is an excerpt from the CCPCA (Cuyahoga County Police Chiefs Association).

NEWBURGH HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT

“Newburgh Township was organized as a governmental unit on October 15, 1814. The Township extended from Warrensville to old Brooklyn on the west, with the Cuyahoga River as the boundary to the south the limit was Independence Township. Mill Creek provided the area with water power for a grist mill that stood in the general area of Miles and Broadway. The Ohio Canal played a role in the early transportation of the area. A lock was located on Old Harvard Road. The records show that Gains Burke, a one-legged, one-armed man served the area as the first Constable.”

“On February 25, 1904, the village of Newburgh Heights was incorporated. At that time Anton Eddel served as marshal, assisted by one patrolman. Newburgh Heights gained its first notoriety with the local enforcement group called “raiding squads.” Each suburban mayor and justice of the peace had a crew of deputies, who had authority to search out and apprehend violators of Prohibition. It was easy to spot a still as the fermenting mash sent out tell-tale evidence. Armed with “John Doe” warrants, the crews could operate countrywide. Competing bootleggers would allegedly tip-off crews in other communities. The total loot of spirits would be confiscated, and the equipment dismantled or smash.”

James F. Lukas became the Newburgh Heights Police Chief on January 1, 1976; he was 32. He was in charge of modernizing the police department, with the backing of the city council and Mayor; updating the equipment for the transition into the 1980s. New equipment included a new filing system, a LEADS machine, a breathalyzer, and others. He also implemented a detective bureau, traffic unit, a warrants division, and a juvenile jail system. Chief Lukas stated during that time “These were problem areas and putting a specialist in charge pretty much cleared them up.“

( An early 1980’s breathalyzer)

During its height of performance under Chief Lukas, the department had fifteen active officers (one female), two K-9 canines, seven civilian dispatchers, eight auxiliary police, and five traffic crossing officers. At the time of his service as Police Chief, Lukas was married to his wife Barbara for fifteen years and had four children. James Lukas who served as Newburgh Height’s Police Chief (1976-1984) falsified documents for a police dispatcher and was found to have a criminal history, including a conviction for dereliction of duty. He defended the investigation of the Kurt Sova case by stating to The Plain Dealer newspaper in 1991:

“That’s not even fair. What happened was completely unrelated. That’s the only part I take offense to. That (Sova) case was handled on the up and up.” – James Lukas

Former Detective Robert Carras pleaded guilty to striking Eric Kotonski of Newburgh Heights with a flashlight during a drunken-driving arrest in December 1990; kicking John Rogers of Cleveland as Rogers lay handcuffed after a February 1989 abduction and harassment arrest; pulling Larry Villanueva’s hair during questioning about a February 1989 break-in; and striking Donal Geib across the face during the same interrogation. Carras was also convicted on drug and corruption charges.

The Assistant Prosecutor James A. Gutierrez for Cuyahoga County questioned Robert Carras in 1990 about his involvement in covering up the case and/or Kurt’s death. Nothing materialized, and Carras eventually went silent regarding the investigation, refusing to be questioned by The Plain Dealer in 1991 and the Cuyahoga Sheriffs Department.

*The below statement is from the Associated Press:

“CLEVELAND (AP) _ A former police officer serving a 4 1/2 year prison term on drug charges pleaded guilty Monday to mistreating suspects.”

“Robert Carras, 41, of suburban Newburgh Heights originally pleaded innocent to five federal charges of kicking, hitting and pulling the hair of suspects. Carras pleaded guilty to the charges before U.S. District Court Judge Thomas D. Lambros, who sentenced him to a 51-month term concurrent with his drug sentence. Assistant U.S. Attorney Clarence Taylor said Carras changed his plea in exchange for the concurrent term. The former police officer was charged with brutalizing suspects in four separate incidents. Carras pleaded guilty to striking Eric Kotonski of Newburgh Heights with a flashlight during a drunken-driving arrest in December 1990; kicking John Rogers of Cleveland as Rogers lay handcuffed after a February 1989 abduction and harassment arrest; pulling Larry Villanueva’s hair during questioning about a February 1989 break-in; and striking Donal Geib across the face during the same interrogation. He also pleaded guilty to handcuffing a Cleveland taxi driver, James Stipetich, to a hot radiator after a confrontation. Carras was convicted in December 1990 of 76 counts of aggravated drug trafficking and 76 counts of illegal processing of drug documents. Carras was convicted of forging prescriptions for Percocet, an addictive painkiller.”
