Policeman dismissed in 2009 sues city in federal court

Don Spatz Reading Eagle Published: 6/8/2011

Fired Reading police Officer Mark S. Groff has sued the city in federal court, claiming that what the city called illegal fraternization with the Pagans motorcycle club was really just negotiations that got the Pagans to stop beating up members of his club.

Groff is seeking to get back his job, more than $150,000 and punitive damages against Chief William M. Heim.

Heim said the suit contains only Groff's side of the case, but declined to comment further.

Backed by City Council, Heim fired Groff in June 2009 for repeatedly fraternizing with the Pagans while he was off- duty, violating a contract clause that bans police from associating with a felon or someone with a reputation for crimi- nal behavior.

Groff also was accused of alcohol abuse and lying during the internal affairs probe.

Groff joined the police force in 2005 and in 2009 was receiving a salary of $59,096, which ended at the firing.

He filed a grievance to protest the firing, but an arbitrator ruled in the city's favor in March 2010.

In his suit filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, Groff said he was a member of the Leathernecks motorcycle club, consisting of honorably discharged Marine veterans.

He said Leathernecks officials asked him to meet with the Pagans because they had been assaulting Leathernecks. The stopped, he said.

He said his police supervisors were aware of his efforts, but didn't warn him he was doing anything wrong.

After he was fired, he won jobless benefits when a state unemployment board ruled that any contact he had with the Pagans was incidental and didn't violate city policies. http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=313101

On June 19, 2011 The rock band Motley Crue played the USAANA amphitheater in West Valley City Utah. A unknown party contacted the amphlethetor prior to the concert and purchased tickets for one of the suites. This party informed the ticket agent that members of the Hells Angels MC would be attending the concert and wanted them to be taken care of. The concert came and went and the Angels were either a no show, or they stayed very quit as they were not observed in cuts/colors. The only OMG member in attendance was a Bandido Prospect named William Daniel Asay, DOB 11-12-1985 A.K.A. “Danny.” Danny is a die hard Motley Crue fan, having tattooed “Shout At The Devil” across his chest. Shout a the Devil is the name of a song by Motley Crue. Danny was first identified as a Bandido Prospect in January 2011.
