Video shows former county officer who pleaded guilty to dragging teen by hair, handcuffs

A former New Castle County police corporal who pleaded guilty to repeatedly pulling a 16-year-old girl's hair and dragging her by the handcuffs while she's on her stomach last year has been sentenced to one year of probation.

Michael Carnevale, whose probation will be suspended upon completion of anger management courses, community service and the surrender of his police training certificate, declined to comment following his sentencing Thursday afternoon at the Leonard L. Williams Justice Center in Wilmington. The 46-year-old wore khaki pants, a striped button-down shirt and sported a beard as he left the courtroom with his attorney.

On Thursday, New Castle County police released two video clips showing then-Cpl. Carnevale dragging the girl from the chain of the handcuffs fastened behind her back. The girl, who is resisting, appears to have fallen before Carnevale starts dragging her while she's on her stomach. A second clip also shows him dragging the girl to a holding room before she drops to the ground. He is then joined by another officer who helps shove her into the room.

The video was not previously released because of the pending investigation.

"The actions of Mr. Carnevale seen in the video are not within the policies and procedures of the New Castle County Police and do not reflect the values and standards of the division," Col. Joseph Bloch, county police chief, said in a statement. "Although I am disgusted that this incident took place, I am pleased that through the hard work of the Department of Justice – Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust and our internal investigators, Mr. Carnevale was held accountable for his actions and will never serve in law enforcement again. "

Carnevale also agreed to never seek employment or serve in a law enforcement capacity in the future.

"The New Castle County Division of Police prides itself on the relationships we have built within the communities we serve," Bloch said. "I am hopeful that our immediate response to this incident demonstrates our commitment to holding ourselves accountable and builds upon the public trust that we have established over many years of dedicated service."

The investigation into Carnevale's actions began on Aug. 31 after a fellow officer witnessed the excessive use of force and reported it to a commander, county police said.

According to a separate Delaware Department of Justice release, the incident occurred on Aug. 30 when the girl became disorderly and resistant while she was at the police station.

"The evidence revealed that Carnevale repeatedly pulled and attempted to lift the victim by her hair, and dragged her in a prone position nearly 50 feet along the ground by the chain of the handcuffs fastened behind her back," the Justice Department's statement said.

Carnevale, who had been with the department since 2005, completed a single-page crime report detailing a video arraignment, but did not mention any resistance by the victim or any police use of force, the Justice Department said. Carnevale also did not complete a use-of-force report.

Carnevale was suspended pending the outcome of the internal investigation and retired from the Police Department on Oct. 3 — prior to the end of the department's investigation and before any disciplinary action could be taken.

The former officer was indicted in December on three misdemeanor charges: offensive touching, official misconduct and falsifying business records.

He pleaded guilty to offensive touching, which carried a maximum sentence of 30 days in prison and a fine. His other charges were dismissed in exchange for his guilty plea, which occurred a few days before his trial was scheduled to start on Monday.

His sentence came immediately after he pleaded guilty on Thursday.

Carnevale's indictment was among the first of several incidents in which a string of Delaware officers have been charged with crimes while they were on the job.

Many of these prosecutions are being led by Mark Denney, who is the director of the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust at the Delaware Department of Justice.

A few months after Carnevale's December indictment, the Delaware Department of Justice indicted former Wilmington police officer Samuel Waters with eight crimes, including two felonies: tampering with public records and perjury. Also indicted in March was another former Wilmington officer, Brandon Cooper, who faces charges of sexual solicitation of a child.

"We continue to be proud of the kind of work that the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust is doing with minimal resources," Mat Marshall, a Justice Department spokesman, said on Thursday. "Above all else we are thinking of the victim and the victim's family today."

Advocates of police transparency say Carnevale's case is an example of why Delaware's Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights, also known as LEOBOR, needs to be revised.

"Certainly we are happy that this incident was investigated, that the officer was indicted and eventually pled guilty to this assault on the 16-year-old young woman," said Mike Brickner, ACLU of Delaware's executive director. "But we also know that there is really a lack of transparency around these policing issues that Delaware's LEOBOR law is the most extreme in the country when it comes to transparency.

"Members of the public just do not have a right to information about police disciplinary matters."

LEOBOR requires that police disciplinary actions in Delaware be kept secret from public disclosure. In many cases, the public learns of these incidents only from civil lawsuits, where citizens sue police for causing physical injury or damages.

While charges were announced against Carnevale, it took the public a little over three months to learn something had occurred — that was after he was indicted.

Other states allow for there to be public records requests from regular citizens or watchdog organizations like the ACLU, Brickner said. This transparency gives the public a sense of what is occurring in its police department and that something is being looked at or done.

Other jurisdictions that do, especially those that have community oversight boards, they do things like periodically report out data and other statistics, how many police disciplinary cases there have been," he said. "Again, we just don't know that information here in Delaware because so much of it is secret and generally law enforcement is not out there proactively sharing that information."

Delaware lawmakers have proposed revising LEOBOR twice, but their efforts have gone nowhere.

"Sims acquired a total of eleven women slaves with vesicovaginal fistula from their masters by promising to lodge, board, and treat them, and he built a spartan wooden building, where he conducted surgical experiments on them for the next four years. During the Victorian period, layers of dress signaled sexual chastity, and doctors were not in the habit of viewing women's unclothed bodies; not even their professional stature gave them license to gaze at women's genitalia. When Sims undertook his fistula experiments, even the term 'gynecology' was a few years in the future. Instead, 'women's doctors' averted their eyes in a chivalrous fashion as they knelt to tend to the modestly clothed ladies of their class, relying upon their sense of touch beneath voluminous Victorian skirts. However, Sims, working with enslaved blacks, was constrained by no such delicacy. He made the women undress completely, then kneel on hands and knees while he and several phys...

But as these photos reveal, soldiers fighting the war, whether in the Far East or Europe, did enjoy some more light-hearted moments.

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital I once cared for a middle-aged patient who presented to emergency with a dildo-related very embarrassing situation. He purchased the toy for one of his sexcapades. Curiosity hit. And he shoved the damn thing in his pooper, high-high up! “Me first” attitude didn’t do him much good. Funny feelings subsided fairly quickly and the horror struck when he couldn’t get it out. His drainage was jammed, the toy was slipping further up and after about 24 hours of wishfully waiting for it to naturally pass, it hurt bad enough to seek medical help. The official party line, that he vehemently iterated, was I just fell onto it, how else do you think it got up there! Needless to say, emergency surgery was necessary and he landed in the ICU with sepsis related post-op complications. It took him loooong before being able to use the toilet normally! Google ** NOT the patient’s X-ray, but it looked similar** Though I have seen some really absurd stuf...

The Unknown History Of Anasyrma - The Ritual Display Of The Female Genitals For An Apotropaic

The Unknown History Of Anasyrma - The Ritual Display Of The Female Genitals For An Apotropaic At the corner of Taylor and SW Third Street in Portland, Oregon, an early Saturday morning standoff between protestors and unnamed, unmarked, heavily armed (unconstitutional and illegal) federal agents ended when, as it is reported and recorded, a naked woman approached the skirmish line and eventually just sat right down on the pavement, legs open, placid. . .after a while, the agents dispersed. . .what powerful and ancient magic had occurred! It's called anasyrma - the ritual display of the female genitals for an apotropaic (warding off of evil) effect - and it appears in stories and mythologies across all eras and countries and peoples from Baubo in Ancient Greece, cheering up Demeter on the loss of her daughter, Persephone, to Hades; Hathor exposing herself to Ra to make him laugh so he wouldn't destroy the world in Ancient Egypt; the Lajji Gaura figures in India; the Sheela na gig...
