D Magazine gets sued by four Dallas cops

Email Print Tell us your story Comments (2)

According to Courthouse News, four Dallas police officers have sued D Magazine.

The four officers claim that D defamed them by describing them as "rogue cops," "writing phony tickets," and "making false arrests".

In June 2007, D was the first to write about phony tickets being written by senior corporals Jeff Nelson, Al Schoelen, and Senior Corporal Timothy Stecker, urged on by their Sergeant Walter Clifton.

Nelson and Schoelen were later fired; Stecker and Clifton were suspended.

Is it any coincidence that this comes in the wake of assistant City Manager Jill Jordan arbitrarily overturning the suspension of Sgt. Walter Clifton?

I can't believe there's no witty banter on FrontBurner about siccing their lawyers on them. Well, yeah, I can, but the silence is a little deafening. The suit was filed on 5/30 -- I guess they were hoping no one would notice.
