Complaint Review: Police Officer Amell - Tupper Lake New York

"But my REAL concern is this guy is a police officer and an 18 year old youth is able to beat him up in front of his partner. How can anyone feel safe in this community?? This 18 year old boy used his fists, not weapons! Yet Police have pepper spray, billy club, a pistol, and handcuffs. If a youth can beat down an officer in front of his partner, it makes me wonder 'How safe is anyone'" Bo-Bob Tupper Lake, New York U.S.A. Bo-Bob, Nevermind the fact that if this was to happen on the west coast of the USA, those kids would have been shot for resisting arrest, as well as assaulting and Officer. Oh and by the way, Mr. Eggsware didn't beat Officer Amell all by himself, I'm sure that a healthy 18 year old boy plus 5-7 other teenage boys could very well whoop your a$$. If it wasn't for the way the town crucifies Officers for DOING THEIR JOB, both Officer Sanford and Amell would have been seen in a much better light for taking punks like Eggsware off the streets. Anyone can sucker-punch anyone else. Amell and Sanford were justified to use deadly force, but did not, probably because they realize they work for a shithole of a town! And as for feeling safe in this community, last I knew parents were the 1st line of defense! If there weren't so many bad parents in Tupper Lake, then we wouldn't have so many bad kids doing drugs and powerplaying adults like some mob! Bo-Bob, do me a favor and try some LE work and get a few miles in the shoes of those you choose to berate before you decide to pass judgment.

Nikki, that was awesome. You say that Brad isn't a bad guy, but then you spout out "NA-4 4eva bitches.", and your little home-slice a few posts later butters out a "Tupper 5.0". I'm sure you guys are humming a few NWA lyrics in the midst of your crime sprees. You little whiny gang-slappers finally get the justice you deserve. Oh, you may "biatch slap" a cop here and there and get your short term laffs, but eventually you'll end up at your final destination away from reality and real people. EVERY criminal's biatch says that "my boyfriend ain't that bad". Well, I guess when he gets thrown to the sidewalk and frisked like a submissive, you'll one day wake up to the realization that yes, he is nothing more than a turd-sniffing wanna be gangsta. Guess the pen in Florida was a lot nicer than NY. I'd have done the same thing. Keep hating the cops. They'll have the authority over you and your stupid breaking and entering antics. Try earning something for a living, and you won't have to wear those shiny bracelets.

You see here Nikki you should first take some spelling lessons. Brad is a loser, yeah he and his friends assaulted a cop ummmm that's bad. But since Brad is skinny and all he will make a good girlfriend for someone very soon. I see that he was caught in Plattsburgh and from there he went to the hospital. You should have told Brad that they play a little rougher up in ol Plattsburgh. I for one am scared of his little crew, they could stop coming to my door and selling cookies and that would suck. Tell Brad I like the thin mints..... Anyway Nikki how is that relationship going? You in Florida and Bradley in NY that must be working out pretty good. I bet you two talk everyday on the phone together and even instant message eachother;that is precious. I wasn't going to respond but I could tell how ignorant you are by all the F-Bombs you were dropping so I felt that I should verbally lash out at you. Well I hope that convicted felon thing is working out for you maybe you could fly up on the weekends and visit him and even talk in person. I dont know that Eric kid but I am guessing that he too is some sort of loser, but there again I am just shooting from the hip. I will also buy a box of thin mints from him. You know what would have been funny is if he had tried to pull that with Officer Delair. Brad would have been shaken like a little baby and his friends would not have known wheather to s**t their pants or wind their watches. Anyway good luck with that relationship and I hope your daddy is proud of you....

brads been getting into trouble ever since ive known him. all during highschool(when he was in school) was allways getting into trouble. how do you defend a guy who steals that much money and then assualts a police officer? did you watch the news when he was captured? he was going on like a looney.

I had to post a comment here after reading some of the issues. Let me say this. SOME cops definitely abuse their position and SOME feel they are God. The bad ones have such a holier then thou attitude it doesn't surprise me they get disrespected. Remember, we as tax payers pay their salary. We as citizens should be treated with respect and with courtesy. Most of the time we're not. I live in New Jersey and this state is considered a police state. Constant harassment by police for no reason and constant road checks during rush hour. In my state we fear the police and me personally would never call them unless something life threatening was happening. This comment in no way means I support the attack on the officer.

Maybe Nikki really doesn't know Brad as well as she thinks. He had already committed a crime, then assaulted a police officer, knowing this would lead to prison. I think Brad is closeted, Nikki doesn't know it, and he knew he can come out in Prison and get all the action he wants.

Nikki, I hate to say it but I have posted on here since this website has been built. I always use my REAL Name. I don't FEAR anyone, so get real. I am well known for my posts on this site. I have posted about the President, do you think I fear Brad or Eric???? Anyway, I think Brad will have a long time in prison to think about his actions, and may I suggest you let him know to hold on to the soap and don't let it fall in the shower! Nikki, is your gang going to come after me??? I am scared now! Yeah right.

You dumbasses can talk all the s**t you want about me..it doesn't keep me from sleeping at night but once again everyone needs to grow up. As for the other thing that needs to be said..Eric Whitley was made out to sound like some kind of crazy criminal well guess what hes not. None of the people in any of these comments are. Everyone f ks up sometimes. But the best thing about them especially eric and brad..they dont give a flyin f**k what any of you say or what the cops in f**king tupper lake have to say or what they try to do either. Eric is also a very good person so all you mother f**kers stop getting on here and try making brad and eric to sound like bad people. ESPECIALLY those of you who dont even know who they are. I will forever stick up for brad and eric. They both have gone through more than any of you can even imagine. And if all you guys want to grow some balls..WRITE YOUR REAL NAMES then see what happens. Bet none of you pussies will. haha your all pathetic. Stop talkin s**t about brad and stop talking s**t about ERIC TOO! f**kk all of you!

you low life peices of s*** that little punk a*s cop deserved what he got yall just like to talk s**t on the internet and you love sucking up 2 those little pigs, i dunno why because whenever you get in any type of trouble, you just get down on your knees and suck up...... but thank you i just cant stop laughin at how ignorant you all are, you think that little box protects you , your even to afraid to say who you are....... WOOOOOW p.s. F*** JACK DELEHANNY AND ALL THE TUPPER 5.O

An "educated" quote from Nikki, Brad Eggsware's girlfriend, in her previous post: "He truly is an amazing person. Yeah maybe he gets in trouble alot but that doesn't mean he's a bad person. BRAD IS NOT A PSYCHOTIC ANIMAL AND HE DEFINITELY IS NOT A DANGER TO ANY COMMUNITY." I wasn't going to respond to this retarded post of hers, but after seeing the channel 5 news tonight, I was compelled to! Seems Brad is now being accused of robbing 2 more Tupper Lake businesses. Yeah, OKAY Nikki. He's no danger to any community. He'd rob just about anyone blind to get money in his pocket. That's an upstanding guy in my book. And OH BOY, he's downright amazing, too! He's a contributing factor as to why people don't feel safe in their community anymore. You, Nikki, are as ignorant as he is. If you love him so much, stop making excuses for his actions, and pretending he's done no wrong.

When did Brad end up being with Keaton at the party where the $130,000.00 was stolen? As far as I know of the situation , Brad had already plea bargained with authorities on another count and knew he was getting 2+ years in prison,and was out awaiting official sentencing. Why was he not sitting in jail awaiting the sentencing, he had already admitted to the previous crime, if he would have been in jail instead of walking the streets, this situation would more than likely never have occurred,Just another example of small town justice thinking. a concerned tupper laker

You say nobody really knows Brad. All you have to do is read the paper and you would know that Brad has been in touble for years. Matter of fact he was awaiting to go to jail for his other problems. (Brad Eggsware. $60,000 has been uncounted for and it appears that the youths and their girlfriends went on a spending spree) , and as for you Jim I don't often agree with you because of your bullshit but I do agree that things have gotten out of control here in Tupper Lake. It's about time that these kids become accountable for their actions and the parents start saying my kid did it and now has to pay instead of whinning because they got pepper sprayed. Bottom line is Micky if your kid wasn't there they wouldn't have been sprayed. Your kid is no different then any other just because you hold a public office.

You said the cop should have known better than to have walked up to a house full of drunken convicts. I wonder if New York law allows ex-cons and felons to hang out together as most states don't allow known criminals to associate with each other for obvious reasons, and doing so gives any police officer probrable cause to investigate what they may be up to and make arrests. Just being there is enough, didn't your lawyers and parole officers tell you that? Part of the down side of being a bad crook. You say "we" don't know s**t and spread rumors, but what rumors have we spread? We only know what is being told here by the people that live there, and surely you see why your posts are seen as biased against the police, to say the least.

First off, None of you people know brad eggsware..im his girlfriend of 3 years and he truly is an amazing person. Yeah maybe he gets in trouble alot but that doesn't mean hes a bad person. If you guys are in here talking about people you should be talking about that little b***h officer goff who ran away after spraying innocent civilians with pepper spray and leaving her partner there to get his a*s kicked. Shes the one that should've got her a*s kicked. I guess shes the true meaning of a tupper police officer..a little f=in coward who runs away. second of all F every single person who wrote something on here that have nothing better to do than to write bullshit about people you dont even know. Noone wants to hear your opinion nor cares about it. Especially you f=ers from outta state like lil hawaii up there who dont even know the f**kin story. Most people from tupper lake dont even know the true story. You should know the whole true story before running your mouth spreading bullshit rumors. Anyone on this site that talks s**t and dont know what they are talking about deserves exactly what amell got. Brad is the most amazing person ive ever known and he has a big and incredible heart None of you know him the way i do so you can stop running your mouths at any given time now. Get a f=in life you stupid pieces of s. Officer amell was pretty much asking for it..you dont go to a house full of convicts knowing they're drunk in the middle the night by yourself..he might as well have asked them to kick his a*s. Dont you think a cop would know better than that? AS far as im concerned everyone who has something bad to say about brad especially the ones who dont know him are all low lifes with nothing better to do. Noones perfect and im sure half the people who write these rebuttals on here have atleast done one thing wrong in their life. And to get on here and write about how brads a piece of s**t just because he got in trouble just makes you a f**kin hipocrit. I love Brad with everything i have..he is my whole world and i know for a fact that his heart is made of gold and he is not the only one who hit amell..why dont u think about everyone else who hit him too instead of just focusing on Brad? He was trying to get away from amell and once he did he ran..it was everyone else who was kicking the s**t out of him so dont only write bad s**t about brad..if your going to talk about one who didn't even do the majority of the problem you might as well talk about the rest of them who actually did most of it too. And lastly, just so everyone knows and remembers this..BRAD IS NOT A PSYCHOTIC ANIMAL AND HE DEFINENTLY IS NOT A DANGER TO ANY COMMUNITY. fk every single person on this site. NA-4 4eva bitches. And a holla out to Nadeau for the help.

I understand people should RESPECT AUTHOURITY but there is no authority in TUPPER LAKE. I will tell you what has happened! The Parents have abandoned the children, and they have gone wild and have done drugs and alchohol. They have also become very violent. I guess most learn from their parents while others learn from their peers. Tupper lake Youth need help! We need a DRUG SWEEP !If we cannot stop this youth-adult violence than vigilante justice may be seen. Sick of this

it's true that police officers have authority. it's true that SOME police officers should be respected. but certainly not ALL! there are alot of cops that abuse their authority and use that authority to mess with people whether they deserve it or not. and that kid who beat up that cop is gonna get his in prison, trust me! and i don't mean beat up, but rather buttf**ked. that's the best way to teach people not to commit crimes. next time they think about doing wrong, they'll think about Bo-Bob's little c**k in their a*s. it's by far the best crime deterrent. so when you refer to police officers, you should never talk in absolutes and say ALL cops deserve respect. i bet there are just as many corrupt cops, percentage-wise, as there are corrupt citizens in this world. that cop who got his a*s kicked,whether he's a good guy or not, just partially makes up for all the times innocent citizens got harrassed, framed, beaten, or just plain f**ked with by a piece of s**t cop who had nothing better to do or because he/she was having a bad day. in fact, i bet officer amell f**ked with alot of innocent people just for kicks and got away with it too. so f**k officer amell and all the other swine in this world that abuse their authority because they can get away with it.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to throw out the comment "respect is earned not owed". Respect is earned among men, personally. When it comes to authority figures, be they parents, teachers or policeman, they should be afforded a measure of respect due to their position. It is this breakdown in respect for authority that has brought our community and our country to where we are today.

Gawd, I love Tupper Lake. Where I live bouncing checks is a felony, and the cops will keep tabs on you too. You call it harassment, I call it pro-active police work. That's because when you kite checks, there is a victim that you chose to victimize, get it? That victim suffers damage from your crime while you just move on to your next crime. The cops should give out a*s-whippins too, I'd vote for it. The few days you spend playing cards in jail doesn't do it for me, I want to see you suffer.

I usually shake my head at some of the comments on here and then move on, but Mick's comment that Officer Amell deserved what he got is ridiculous. Whether or not you like the man personally is a moot point. Police officers are in a position of authority and as such deserve respect. Would you hit the McDonalds worker because they forgot to put ketchup in the bag? As for Jeannie saying that kids need to "drink responsibly". They are KIDS and don't know the meaning of that statement. Thats why the drinking age is 21( not that some people are responsible at that age). Remember folks the school can only do so much to instill respect and responsibility in our kids. They have to see their parents practicing those values in order for it to become a part of their nature.

cops in this town are fuc*** anyway Ya know, if the cops in this town were not, just harrassing people for no reason as soon as they get outta jail, then everything around here would be fine....I personally know Jason Amell, and my feelings about him is that he is an arrogant p***k....that thinks he's the god d**n gift to the world. Which is f**king bullshit! And i'm not saying that Mr. Eggsware is perfect, because we all know that's not true, but i am saying that even if you go to F.C.J. for bounced checks, the god d**n cops in this town, will find out when you are being realeased just to f**k with you....Personally i think the Tupper Lake Village Police are usless anyway, and we might as well just have the Troopers....You know, Because they are not just into all the drama around here. They do there jobs and go home, not go home to there loved ones and just talk about everyone they arrested today....So perosnally Jason Amell, had it coming

Officer Amell is a good guy i personally know him and i know that he is a good guy and doesnt deserve what happend to him. Brad has always been an immiture little a*s hole who deserves to rought in jail. AND TO JEANIE, how about you shut your mouth about Mayer Desmarais, he's a great father to all of his children and a great grandfather to all of his grandchildren, and hes the best mayer that Tupper has ever seen! you obviously dont know him at all other wise you wouldnt have said that he needs to learn how to take care of his kids. thats the funiest thing ive ever heard, you better get your facts straight because his son is a good kid and im sure you dont know him eaither so how bout this..... shut your mouth before you say any more s**t....

Oh my stars!!! I didn't know there were folks who could actually spell in Tupper Lake. And YAY to you all for coming to that poor police officer's defense. A cop no matter what size, age or experience can get his butt kicked and to degrade this officer because of this situation is just plain wrong. As for that kid - hopefully he will get some "vacation time" in the local pen to help him realize the error of his ways. Glad to see some sense coming out of Tupper Lake for a change.

Funny how they are just "kids" when they do something to be arrested and fight the police, but they are man enough to be in combat as soldiers and Marines, and held responsible for their actions. The police officer used great restraint by not putting a bullet in this kid's a*s.

The way Tupper Lake has been heading, this was bound to happen! Yes, I seen the news. I don't know Brad or Keaton, but I do know the girls. Heather is almost 30 years old? What is she doing hanging out with "kids"? Her and Meghan were out not to long ago with two other guys switching every way switching can be switched (if you know what I mean). She has a daughter! What the heck is she teaching her? THere was abviously more than alcohol involoved. I'm going to take a guess at maybe some (or alot) coke or crack was used. But that is what you get when you live in Tupper Lake. There is more crack in that town than anything else and the age of the users is getting younger! That is where the great local PD comes in. Jason is a nice guy but that is where that ends. I'm sorry, but Tupper Lake needs more authority! Tracy Goff! Now she's a joke! Didn't she quit or get fired a few years ago? She went from patroling then to the desk (because she pulled an old lady over for having a rosery hanging off her rear view mirror!), then to the Movie Gallory now back to the department? I know that one time someone was making a statement because they were assaulted and he was the one put in handcuffs! "For my safety" she says and the other person never got arrested! I have a few questions about the incident. Where was she when Jason was getting beat up? Holding back the crowd! I'm sorry but at that point, being a cop, you have the right to pull out you billy club or gun or something! Mase? That is only going to make people more irrate! Where was the back up? If they noticed all those kids and new that they were drinking, of course back up would have been needed because arrests should have been made! State troopers don't like to patrol that area unless they have too, but they are on call! Tupper Lake is a joke and I don't feel sorry for anyone involved in this. I'm sorry about it, but, the officials there know that the underage drinking and drug use is getting out of hand but yet they are only worried about the marijuana in that town. If Brad was only smoking pot he sure wouldn't be in any mood to beat up someone...lol! Any pot head can vouch for that! I didn't see any "resisting arrest" or "assaulting an officer" charges. Maybe it should be "insulting and officer". I was at someone house one time and Jason came to serve a warrant. The guy says "I'm going to smoke a cigarette first before I go" Jason says "Take your time". THat is not what is supposed to happen! Show some authority! That is your job! He made himself look like a joke and it came back to him. The kids in Tupper Lake are the problem! They look at the police department like it is a joke (because it is) and they aren't afraid of anyone there! Judge LaLonde! He let most of those kids off with slaps on thier little hands! He even had to resign because he got caught drunk while on the bench! I hear stories about back in the day when the cops were cops. What happened? Now all they have there are babysitters. This $130,000 and only $60,000 of it was recovered...that is alot of drug money! Why aren't they in jail? Who the hell leaves $130,000 out anyway? No safe, or bank account? What's up with that? Don't feel sorry for them either! I can go on about this forever! As a last note: I think the Tupper Lake Police Department really needs to rethink their procedures and their employees. THe only way you are going to fix anything there is to not put up with all the crap from the youngsters! Who knows, maybe some day they will try to be an officer in the village of Tupper Lake just to let there friends off. THis is an interesting subject! One that can hopefully open the eyes of the Village of Tupper Lake and the other officials overlooking the oh so great town. And another note: I am not Kathy Williams. She posted a post about her brother a while back and used my account. (for anyone who read that and think "Chief" is Kathy - your wrong!)

Everyone should be aware that just because you live in a small town doesn't mean that crime doesn't exist. This incident just shows that small town or not it's there. Tupper Lake has it's share of drugs and crime as so does every other town. People need to wake up and take control over their youth. In the local paper it stated " there is nothing for the kids here." Did you forget that King had a youth center that closed because some of the older kids were causing problems. Then there was the youth center where the Christian Center is now on Park Street, again closed due to some kids causing problems. It may be the sadest thing to say but if some of the kids were made examples of maybe some of the others would take the hint that this behavior isn't going to be tolerated. Of course you can't blame just the kids either. If a parent would stand up and say "my kid did it" instead of making excuses as to why the cops are always hassling him and make him take responsibility for his doings it might help. I have lived here for over 30 years and have met some great cops as well as some that were not but the bottom line is they are Police officers. If there is a problem with one of them then deal with it in the manor it should be.

I think that it's reasonable to question the town's safety in terms of these teenagers who are out causing trouble and not drinking responsibly. By drinking responsibly, I mean that, while I know teenagers are going to drink (we all did and it's mostly inevitable), they aren't being safe about it for the most part, nor are they doing it in a quiet manner. Someone like Brag Eggsware, who was stupid enough to hit a police officer, never had a chance I'm sure. I doubt his parents or anyone he looks up to ever really put enough effort out there to try and keep him from turning into the little monster he is. This goes for several of these kids out there, their parents need to come down on them a little harder, don't you remember way back when parents used to punish their children? What ever happened to discipline? Also, I think it's a farce to question Jason Amell's defenses in this case. No amount of guns, batons and/or pepper spray is ever going to guarantee your safety when you are a walking target like cops are. In a perfect world, kids like Eggsware would have respected the fact that he was doing his job and that it is totally unacceptable to hit an officer. But this kid's got no chance in life and he knows it and doesn't care. Secondly, Jason isn't the biggest guy and since he's young, I'm sure it's harder for teenage boys to take him quite as seriously as an older officer. I also think that anyone, especially the dirtbags being quoted in the papers, who hosted this party the kids were at, who has the odacity to question the officers' use of force, ANY OF THEM, is a complete waste of space. When you or your partners are being attacked by groups of drunk teenagers, you do whatever you have to. These kids are just lucky they didn't get shot, because in my opinion, when Jason was down and being kicked and punched, Sanford had the right to smash them with the baton or shoot them. Frankly, I'm not sure why she didn't do either or something more to help him. That's the risk you take when accosting an officer, or anyone for that matter - the possibility of getting killed or seriously injured. I just hope Eggsware gets the better end of that in prison, where he's surely going to be for a very long time. I also find it particularly odd that the mayor, who preaches about the troubles of these teenagers, has the nerve to say some of the things he says when his kid is out there getting arrested and mouthing off.

I'm glad to see that Tupper Lake hadn't fallen off the face of the earth. I LOVE the Tupper Lake reports.

I have to ask Bo-bob, how many cops get hurt while on duty? That's just ignorant to think just because this man was unarmed that he couldn't seriously hurt someone. Let someone kick you in the face with steel toed boots and see how well you do! That's exactly what happened to Jason. He is a good officer who is devoted to his job, and having met him personally, I can tell you he is also a nice guy. He didn't deserve this, but it's a risk you take being a police officer. He deserves recognition for his bravery in the situation. He chose to pursue the dirtbag even after being assulted. That's determination!

Here is a copy of the news story of this event, as written by WNBZ news website out of Saranac Lake , NY: A Tupper Lake Village Police Officer had to be hospitalized Friday night after he was allegedly assaulted while trying to make an arrest. Officer Jason Amell was on Main Street around 11 p.m. with Officer Traci Sanford when they spotted 18 year-old Brad Eggsware who was wanted for violation of probation. While he was being arrested, Eggsware allegedly punched and kicked Officer Amell in the face and ribs, breaking his nose and bruising his face, neck and back, according to Police Chief Ron Cole. A group of 15-20 teenagers attending an alleged underage drinking party nearby showed up and screamed at the officers as they were trying to take Eggsware into custody. Amell chased Eggsware behind a Main Street tavern where the officer was allegedly attacked by up to three people. Eggsware was able to escape and remained at large until last night when he was apprehended in Plattsburgh around 8:30 p.m. We were given information that he and some other folks were on route to Plattsburgh, Cole said. Plattsburgh City Police, State Police and the Clinton County Sheriff's Department helped to capture the suspect. Cole said Eggsware was found in a garage and was behaving ?hysterical.? He was admitted to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh. Once he's released from the hospital Eggsware will be arraigned in Tupper Lake Village Court on a felony charge of second-degree assault. He also will be arraigned in Franklin County Court on the probation violation charge. After Friday night's incident Officer Amell was taken to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake by Tupper Lake Rescue. He was treated and released. ?He looks pretty good but he's still experiencing a lot of pain from his injuries,? Cole said today. Two other people are facing charges from the incident. 17 year-old Eric Whitley of Tupper Lake was charged with disorderly conduct and felony criminal mischief. He allegedly kicked a back door and window of a patrol vehicle after being taken into custody, causing approximately $1000 in damage. Whitley was arraigned and released under the supervision of Franklin County's Probation Department. A 15 year-old boy who allegedly hit officers when Whitley was being arrested was also charged with disorderly conduct. He was released to the custody of a parent. An investigation into the incident and the alleged underage drinking party is continuing. ?There's a number of arrests that possibly could be made depending on what the ongoing investigation reveals,? Cole said. THIS COULD'VE HAPPENED TO ANY POLICE OFFICER. How many officers are injured or killed in the line of duty in this country? Big cops, small cops, young cops, or seasoned veterans. All have been hurt or killed while simply doing their job. As long as we have psychotic people roaming the streets, such as Brad Eggsware, nobody is safe. The police can't be everywhere all of the time. It's impossible! Let's just thank God that Jason Amell wasn't killed in this incident. Anyone who watched the WPTZ Channel 5 news on March 20th & 21st saw just how Eggsware was taken into custody in Plattsburgh. Nothing sane about that guy! Screaming and yelling like a lunatic when it was his own d**n fault he was being arrested. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime, Mr. Eggsware.
