Charges Dropped Against Postal Worker Glen Grays
Charges against postal worker Glen Grays have been dropped according to District Attorney Ken Thompson.
Grays was arrested for disorderly conduct on St. Patrick’s Day after he yelled at a car that had nearly run him over. The car was an unmarked police car and the occupants were four plainclothes cops. In a video released by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Grays can be seen complying with the officers while they threaten him to “stop resisting” or he’d “get hurt.”
“In the interest of justice I asked the Court to dismiss the disorderly conduct charge against Glen Grays,” said Thompson in a press release.
“From the first moment I viewed cell phone video footage of the questionable arrest of on-duty postal worker Glen Grays, it was evident that he endured a clear miscarriage of justice,” said Adams.
Grays has local ties to Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. He and his family worship at Clinton Hill’s Brown Memorial Baptist Church. Additionally, Gray’s mother lives in Fort Greene in middle-income housing.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton has previously said that he has “strong concerns about the charge against the individual,” as well as “about the performance of the officers, about the leadership role of the lieutenant involved and about the processing of the arrest at the precinct station house.”
