Second Police Officer Files Claim Against The City

An attorney for a police officer who has filed a claim for retaliation, discrimination and harassment has now filed another claim on behalf of a second police officer against the City. 

According to Pasadena Police Officer Jarvis Shelby’s attorney Brad Gage, a police commander placed Shelby in a headlock in August resulting in serious injuries.

According to his claim, no known discipline was placed on the commander.

In the statement released, Gage does not say what happened to lead up to the incident or if other officers had to break up the incident.

Shelby has worked for the Pasadena Police Dept. since 2017 and was wrongfully denied a promotion to Corporal.

Gage also represents Officer Taisyn Crutchfield. Crutchfield was placed on administrative leave with pay in February after an incident on Marengo Avenue near the station.

This a breaking story. Pasadena Now has reached out to the City for a response and will update this story when there are developments
