Jersey City Police Officer Julio Luna moved to a different apartment in his apartment building, but he left his bed behind. His landlord put the bed in storage. When Luna demanded that the landlord pay him $1,000 for the bed, the landlord told Luna he could have his bed back. Luna responded by placing his landlord in handcuffs. That act prompted the landlord to agree to pay the $1,000, but when the landlord showed up the next day, he brought the bed, not the cash.

Luna again handcuffed the landlord, then took him to jail. The landlord “wasn't released until he'd agree to a deal - brokered by an unidentified cop wearing uniform pants and a white T-shirt - in which he'd give Luna a month's free rent and a free parking spot, worth about $829.” About a year later, Luna was indicted on two counts of official misconduct and one count of theft by extortion. He just agreed to enter a pretrial diversion program which -- if he completes probation -- will result in the charges being dismissed. To obtain that deal, Luna agreed that he’d never work as a police officer again.
