ST. LOUIS — The day
ST. LOUIS — The day after testifying for the defense during the trial of three police officers accused of assaulting one of their own, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department leaders put Capt. Michael Deeba on administrative duty without explanation, according to his attorney.
It means the more than 30-year veteran of the force can’t work on the streets, work certain shifts, be eligible for in-service training, can’t wear a uniform, must get permission to carry a weapon, loses any department-issued vehicle he may have or work any secondary jobs, according to Deeba’s attorney John Bouhasin.
“I mean they’re putting handcuffs on what they can do here, ‘Come to the station, don't wear a uniform, you’re to sit here for eight hours and go home with no overtime, no secondary, good luck surviving,’” Bouhasin said. “It's a way of pushing them out. Once they get to the point where they're not being able to provide for their families, some people leave.”
Deeba’s attorney is also a former attorney for the City of St. Louis and has represented dozens of police officers during disciplinary proceedings. He said he’s never had a client put on administrative duty without explanation like Deeba has been. Bouhasin said he considers the move to be disciplinary, but the department does not view it as a disciplinary action.
