Alleged victim was police informer David Chanen and Paul McEnroe, Star Tribune Published October 17, 2003
The man accusing a Minneapolis police officer of sexually assaulting him during a drug raid was a confidential informant for the officer, sources with knowledge of the case said Thursday. It was unclear Thursday whether the alleged victim, Stephen Porter, was still informing for accused officer Jeffrey Jindra or other officers at the time of the raid in a north Minneapolis apartment Monday. It also was unclear whether his informant status played any role in the drug raid or allegations that Jindra used a toilet plunger handle to assault Porter, 25, in the raid. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4159341.html Posted on Fri, Oct. 17, 2003 MINNEAPOLIS: Brutality case rattles department BY AMY MAYRON Pioneer Press Allegations that Minneapolis police sodomized a narcotics suspect this week have shaken a department already struggling with perceptions of how officers treat people of color. The claim by Stephen Porter, a black man, that he was assaulted with a toilet plunger handle by white officers threw officials into a tailspin, and the FBI was quickly asked to investigate. Community leaders were calling emergency meetings, and city officials were meeting with officers. http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/7033463.htm Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.
