After an unsuccessful drug raid, a Sergeant in the Fort Worth Police Department's narcotics unit allegedly stole a pair of expensive Air Jordan sneakers from the residence.
Two officers involved in the raid reported what had happened, and the department's Special Investigations Section searched Williams' Arlington home on the following day, the documents said. Inside, investigators seized four pairs of shoes, including Air Jordans similar to the shoes missing in the drug raid.
The original drug raid quickly drew the attention of neighbors in the 4800 block of Richardson Street in Fort Worth.
But Marquis Green, 21, said police didn't find what they were looking for.
"They didn't find no drugs in my house at all," he said. "They just took shoes that I ain't never wore."
As police were raiding his house, two officers pulled him over nearby, accused him of running a red light and took him to jail, Green said. He insists that he never ran any red light.
After a night in jail, he noticed several pairs of brand-new, expensive shoes were missing from his closet, along with a "Grand Theft Auto" video game and thousands of dollars in cash that he and his girlfriend were saving to rent an apartment, Green said.
Police reported finding $1,060 in the raid, but Green said he had closer to $3,000.
According to court documents, two officers tipped off the department that Williams, who was in charge of the drug raid, kept the pricey shoes.
Green's sister, who lives with him, said police officers who steal are no better than criminals.
