An officer with a history of false arrest is being accused of more of the same by a 40-year-old grandmother in Sunset Park. Monica Gonzalez tells the Daily News she was walking four blocks from her apartment to the E.R. during an asthma attack at 2:30 in the morning last November when she was arrested by Officer Sean Spencer, who claimed she was holding a condom and approaching vehicles with another woman. (Gonzalez's lawyer never found evidence of the supposed condom.) The charges were finally dropped in May and now Gonzalez, who works as a receptionist, has filed a formal complaint with the city’s Law Department.

Sounds like the rogue cop in California that keeps trying to bust marijuana dispensaries. He should be fired and watched like a hawk for retaliatory actions.
Yeah, surely history of false arrest (or, doing the opposite of what you're supposed to be doing) is grounds for dismissal.
Geez, if i were a hooker, i don't think i'd be waving condoms around. just like if i were a drug dealer, i wouldn't be waving bags of crack around...but for some reason these officer testimonies seem to indicate that it happens much more than would be expected. Gooo figure.
How does an officer with a record for false arrest keep his job? I guess the same way a cop who shoots someone in a fit of road rage and disappears for 24 hours gets away with murder.
Being a 40-year old grandmother should be illegal.
Wasn't that a song by Jeff Beck?
"She's not a hooker, she's just asthmatic..."
being 40 hasn't qualified for granny status since the 1800's.
She should thank him for not beating the shit out of her. I thought that's what normally happens.
Well, this sounds unfortunate, but I'm sure there's some way we can make it Ms. Gonzalez's fault.
Any woman walking around using a condom as an inhaler...should be arrested anyway.
so I suppose if he saw a group of people doing outreach handing out bags of condoms, lubricant and dental dams he would consider that soliciting?
