Turnkey Disciplined for Failure To Find Pistol on Arrested Man
Police Chief Harold F. Kelly disciplined a jail employee after a Lower East Side man held six officers at bay with a loaded pistol hidden under a cap. Patrolman Robert Clapper missed the weapon during a frisk and was reassigned and ordered to rookie training. The suspect, Rigo Price, 39, of 510 E. Washington St., faced a grand jury decision after pleading innocent to a first degree assault charge substituted for the drunkenness charge. Clapper will resume patrol duties after a two week training period starting soon, with stricter search procedures to prevent a recurrence. The incident prompted a department-wide closer search order and accountability measures for the on-duty staff.
