The files showed that Lt. James Brodick said he was frustrated with a man with whom he did business, so he had him arrested on felony charges, despite being told it was a civil case.

Channel 9 broke the news in April of the arrest of Dennis King, a local mechanic who was working on Brodick’s 1939 Ford. Reports showed Brodick arrested King and accused him of taking his money for work that was not getting done on the car.



King told Channel 9 the restoration took longer than expected.



The department’s internal affairs investigation determined Brodick should have let an impartial employee handle the investigation and he let his emotions cloud his judgment.
