According to Ksat.com, "Officer Curtis W. Lundy, 36, has been of taking $500 from a man he had detained for possession of marijuana in exchange for holding off on filing charges against the man. According to the statement, on Dec. 15, 2012, Lundy responded to a call concerning an assault in progress at a Northside apartment complex. There, he detained a man in connection with the assault. The man told Lundy that he had a small amount of marijuana and, according to the statement, Lundy told the man he would delay filing charges in exchange for a $400 payment. During subsequent phone conversations, however, Lundy raised the amount to $500. According to the statement, the man contacted the FBI earlier this week about the matter. At the direction of the FBI, the man was able to record cell phone conversations between he and Lundy. During one of those conversations, Lundy told the man to meet with him on Thursday, Jan. 3, to collect the payment. Surveillance teams observed Lundy arrived at the predetermined location in a marked SAPD patrol car to collect the envelope -- which contained $500 -- from the man."
Lundy is being investigated to see if any other crimes have been committed during his 4 year tenure.
