Baltimore City Police Detective Konstantinos (Gus) Passamichalis has been an outstanding member of the BCPD for 24 continuous years. He has received many awards (including a silver star), multiple special recognition uniform pins, letter of appreciation for service above and beyond normal duties of an officer, and 3 separate officer of the year awards. His life long dream was to be a Baltimore City Police Officer. To make ends meet and support his family he volunteered for extra shifts and quite a bit of overtime even if that meant he couldn't always be home for dinner or at his daughter's soccer games cheering on the side lines with the other dads. Somehow he also found time to teach Sunday school and drive the church bus so that children could have an opportunity to attend church. To have an opportunity to be a blessing to somebody else was his prayer each morning before he left for work. Now for the first time it is Gus needing the help. The battle he is facing is immense. After a year of silence since the incident, he is being charged with 2nd degree assault and conduct unbecoming of an officer. 24 years with an unblemished career ruined and he's facing jail time. The officers, both of which Gus worked with many times falsely accused Gus of harming a prisoner that was a known flight risk. The 2 other witnesses agree Gus was in no way harming the prisoner. The prisoner did not even know there had been an incident and never sought medical treatment of any sort. It wasn't until a week later the prisoner learned of the incident when Internal Affairs interviewed him. The attorney assigned to Gus not only lost his file but let it sit almost a year until Gus had to dip into his retirement savings to find a real attorney. On a salary of a police officer a competent lawyer is not cheap. Along with legal fee's growing, he also has the many bills to pay including having his 2 daughters in college. Please help and stand by Gus during this time and share so that others can let him know he is not alone in this.
