Officer [M.] credibly described each of these incidents, and the injuries she suffered were clearly depicted in the photos presented to the Police Board. Therefore, the Board finds Respondent guilty of the charges in this Specification.

Officer [M.] credibly testified that her shoulder injury resulted from physical contact with Respondent. Consequently, the Board finds Respondent guilty of the charges in this Specification.

The Board believes that the photos included in Superintendent’s Exhibit 7 are consistent with Officer [M.]’s version of events. The Board does not believe that the extensive swelling and bruising depicted in those photos could have resulted from an accidental elbow to the face, as Respondent claims.

The Board finds it particularly unlikely that the Respondent did—or would have— made such a threat because, during the course of his relationship with Officer [M.], he sought treatment and was prescribed medication by the same mental health professional as Officer [M.] for his own anxiety.
