Controversial Highland Park cop sued, accused of locking up two women for four days without charges

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. (WXYZ) - He’s made headlines for using a taser on his partner – and he’s been caught on camera during an aggressive arrest. Now Highland Park police officer Ronald Dupuis is making headlines once again.

A new lawsuit has been filed against him – this time 2 women are accusing him of locking them up for 4 days without ever charging them with a crime.

Whether it’s an arrest caught on camera, shooting himself in the leg, or having to be rushed to the hospital after a police raid – Sgt. Ronald Dupuis just can’t stay out of the spotlight.

Now he’s accused of locking up Rhianna Turner and her domestic partner Kera Hill – without any evidence of a crime – for four days.

........

“The fact that he actually took them to Highland Park, which has no jurisdiction with anything that could have occurred in Detroit, and he was able to convince his supervisors, who were already skeptical and didn’t understand why my clients were locked up – he was actually able to override their authority and keep my clients for four days,” Morris says.

They were never charged with a crime – but Morris says getting locked up cost Turner her job with the city.

.......

He’s worked at seven different police departments and came to our attention when he used a taser on his police partner in Hamtramck back in 2005. A jury did not convict him in that case, but Morris says there’s a definite pattern here.

“He really has a history of sort of a bully attitude,” he says. “Both with his fellow workers and the citizens he comes in contact with.”

This whole story sounds like something out of the twilight zone. I need to do some research on the officer's background but it sounds puzzling .... at the least. He does not look very old to have worked for seven police departments.

He looks like a ham.

He was acquitted in the taser charge. The taser chip disproved the female officer's accusation along with video evidence.

Sounds like he is a little bizarre, though.

In most juisdictions a person can be held 72 hours without being charged with anything. This does not include weekends. Sure someone can be held for four days without being charged. They can be held five days without being charged. Rhianna and her domestic partner Kira are degenerates anyway so why would anyone even care?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.


Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.


Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.


Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.


First they came ... - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia


Tyranny does not require any special care, feeding or handling. All it really requires is that people look the other way.....

They have a lawyer on the case. I'm sure we will find out in short order what the current interpretations of "law" will be applied to this case. I'll post when they do.

First they came for the drug pushers and I did not speak up because I was not a drug pusher.

Then they came for the murderers, rapists, robbers and arsonists. I did not speak up because I was not one of those either.

Then they came for the degenerates and morally bankrupt. I did not speak up because I was neither degenerate or morally bankrupt.

Then it occurred to me how much more pleasant it had become.

This really says a lot about police practices. He's worked for 7 different police departments in the last decade with problems in each one. Yet, the public is still supposed to believe that all of the incidents of the past several years are just bad apples not bad barrels.

I suspect he's a no-shit psychopath...the only surprising thing is that he hasn't killed anyone yet.
