More than a dozen cops charged with rape, child pornography still working on force

[ReallJc]

In the last 12 months, more than a half-dozen officers with the New Orleans Police Department have been booked and charged with various crimes.

In many of those cases, the officers are placed on what the NOPD refers to as "emergency suspension without pay."

But the WDSU I-Team has learned that type of suspension only lasts so long and some officers charged with serious crimes are back on the job working -- much to the surprise of some.


When Wax was arrested, the Louisiana Attorney General's Office said investigators found pornographic images of children on computers and other electronic devices.

Because of the nature of the crime -- and the number of counts filed -- Wax faces a worst-case scenario of more than 500 years behind bars if he's convicted. The NOPD wasted no time in announcing that Wax had been placed on emergency suspension without pay back in April of 2014.

Twelve months later, the I-Team found Wax on the job working in fleet management at NOPD headquarters in Mid-City.

But Wax is, and he's not alone.

In February 2014, longtime NOPD Officer Michael Thomassie was arrested and charged with aggravated rape, the state's most serious sexual assault charge.

In Thomassie's case, prosecutors said the alleged victim was a child in his care and was younger than 10 years old when the crimes occurred. As with Wax, the police department placed Thomassie on emergency suspension without pay.


It also brings us to Officer Ananie Mitchell, a member of the NOPD's Gang Task Force. He was arrested in early March and charged with soliciting a prostitute -- a misdemeanor -- and placed on emergency suspension without pay.

But less than two months later -- after about 50 days -- he was back at work again, even though rules required reinstatement only after 120 days have passed.

The NOPD declined to comment on the Mitchell case in detail, but said that he has been assigned to the mail room at NOPD headquarters.

These cacs will never see the jail cell of a prison. Cop badges are just fancy ornaments for licensed criminals.
