New York District Attorney Taking a Look At How NY Police Department Whistleblower Wound Up in Crazy Hospital

~

As Voice readers know, Schoolcraft had made allegations of misconduct in Brooklyn's 81st Precinct to NYPD investigators on Oct. 7.

On Oct. 31, he went home about an hour early from work. That evening, a dozen cops arrived at his home, including his precinct commander, Steven Mauriello, Deputy Chief Michael Marino, and other police supervisors, ostensibly acting on claims that Schoolcraft was at risk of hurting himself.

The encounter ended with Marino ordering Schoolcraft taken to Jamaica Hospital for observation. The officer was pushed to the ground, handcuffed and dragged from his apartment. At the hospital, he was forcibly held in the psych ward for the next six days without explanation.
