Random Police Officers Reveal The Worst Criminal Encounters Of Their Careers (19 items)

• (#13) A Spurned Employee Accosted A Former Coworker

  From Redditor /u/Quick_Everyone_Panic:

  He walked into a business right at closing time when there were no customers left and only one 18-year-old female employee. At gunpoint, he took all the money that he could, then forced her to take off all her clothes and perform oral [...] on him. He then took her in the back room, tied her up, and penetrated her with the barrel of the gun for several minutes before barricading the back room door so she couldn't get out and leaving her there.

  Turns out he was a former employee (and, if you can believe it, convicted [...] offender) who had made several passes at the victim while they worked together and been rejected every time. He was there to rob the place but when he saw who was working he figured he'd [take out] two birds with one stone.

  Catching him was among the more satisfying moments of my career.
• (#18) A Sunday School Teacher Preyed On Children Without Fathers

  From Redditor /u/08mms:

  I worked in a criminal court for a while, and one of the darkest cases we had was a [predator] who was also a Sunday school and grade school teacher that would seek out 10-14 year olds online whose fathers had recently passed away, "befriend" them, ply them with presents (including lots of recording equipment so they could make "videos") and eventually get them in a situation where he could [violate] them.

  The detectives had found his diary running from when he first started getting urges in high school/college to him starting his bad actions in his late 20s and it was one of the most disturbing things I've ever read. The part that made me the most angry is that right before he [harmed] his first kid, he had a crisis of conscience and went to a pastor in his church confessing that he had those urges and he was worried he would hurt someone, and that bastard pastor, instead of steering him to professional counseling or calling authorities, just told him to pray about it and God would show him the right path. [Offender] did just that, and randomly opened his bible to the story about Jesus and the children that has the "let the children come to me" line. He took this as a sign that he was somehow okay in what he was doing and preceded to go on and emotionally break several kids' lives.

  The prosecution did a great job, the jury convicted him quickly, but while he was in the court lock-up before his sentencing hearing, some gang member facing a [...] trial later that day had overheard the charges [and] beat the [perp] nearly to death and they had to backboard his bleeding body out through the open court.
• (#3) A Man Had Relations With His Girlfriend's Toddler

  From Redditor /u/Gnartan:

  Had a guy who had been f*cking his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter. He found out he had gotten busted and took a whole bunch of [drugs] and probably anything else in the house he could get his hands on. Was found unresponsive and put in an ice bath by his friends and one of them was nice enough to call 911. Hell of it is that when we show up the girlfriend is defending him, stashing contraband and trying to keep us from entering the apartment without a warrant. Exigent circumstances, hip hip hooray, get out of my way and we got him to the hospital. Hell of it is that while we got him out she flushed all their sh*t and deleted all the images from his phone of the [offenses]. F*ckin' mom choosing her [deplorable] boyfriend over her daughter. Lowest of the low. He pled to a lesser charge eventually due to a lack of evidence and she caught a tampering with physical evidence charge and got her kid taken away. She's out and works at a local restaurant that I'll never go to again.
• (#2) A Man Cleavered A Mom And Her Four Children

  From Redditor /u/ThrowAwayStowAway718:

  I'm terrible with dates and time frames if I didn't write it down, but I'll never forget October 26, 2013. This was in Brooklyn. Squad called an 85 at such and such address. A neighbor had called in an assault in progress and the detective squad happened to be on the block for another reason. They got there fast and met the perp coming out the front door. We get there a couple minutes after as the perp is being walked in handcuffs to the car. I went into the house to see if everybody was okay and what the 85 was about.

  Long story short, perp hacked a woman and her four kids (infant to 12 years old) to death with a meat cleaver. Mom and oldest were still breathing when we came in the door, but not for long after that. Three babies were all in the back bedroom. The apartment looked pretty much like what you would imagine if you tried to imagine something like that. You could taste the blood in the air, there was so much of it. When I walked out to get a look at the perp, a detective told me, "See if you can get his name but don't ask him anything else." Guy was seated in the backseat in handcuffs and had a look in his eyes that I can't even describe here. The devil was let loose in that apartment.
• (#7) A Man Slammed His Girlfriend's Baby Into The Ground And Didn't Call Police For Help

  From Redditor /u/Forensicunit:

  Cop here. I responded to a child not breathing. On arrival I find a 2-year-old girl, wearing only undies, unconscious on the cement kitchen floor. She is freezing cold, pale, foaming at the mouth, and barely breathing. I spent the next six hours by her side as detectives learned that mom's boyfriend was pissed that she wouldn't stop crying, so he picked up by the waist, over his head, and slammed her on the ground. Twice. When mom got out of the shower he told he she wasn't breathing right. Mom uses the girl's asthma inhaler twice, and waits. An hour and a half later she goes to her neighbor's house to use her phone to call her mom.

  The neighbor overhears the conversation about baby not breathing and takes it upon herself to call 911. The girl received a basal skull fracture which caused little seizures. She vomited several times but lay on her back for over an hour. She aspirated the vomit repeatedly. For nearly two hours that little girl lay on the ground with her skull bleeding into her brain, her body temp being sucked into the floor, trying to breathe vomit. And for the next six hours I sat with her, and held her hand, stroked her hair, and watched her [pass]. Hoping that her little brain shut down and blocked out everything that was happening. That case still makes me tear up to this day. And it was one of the three worst calls I've ever been on. I don't know how someone can do that to a baby.
• (#15) A Neo-Nazi Child Predator Was Caught In A Facebook Sting

  From Redditor /u/auxillary-priest:

  My father is currently a chief and used to be a detective for a short stint. The majority of his detective career [was spent] chasing down a [predator] who was tried for 30 counts [...] [including] sexual misconduct with a minor, and various charges of the like. My father spent day and night for close to a year gathering enough evidence to ensure he could put the bastard away for good. Aged my father like nothing I've seen. Finally arrested the guy by posing as a 13-year-old that we'll call Amber on Facebook. Agreed to meet up with the scumbag at a local park to have sex. My father and his crew rolled up quietly and approache him from behind the bench he was sitting on and says, "Hi sweetie, my name's Amber." [The criminal is] currently serving a 180-year sentence without parole.
