According to the Boston Herald, Cambridge police sergeant James Crowley has had eight citizen complaints filed against him since joining the Cambridge Police Department in 1998. Crowley arrested Henry Louis Gates Jr. on July 16 for disorderly conduct, a charge that was later dropped. According to Police Commissioner Robert Haas, those eight complaints represent "less than 1 percent" of Crowley's contact with citizens, which includes 422 arrests, 800 investigations, and 1,866 motor vehicle citations. Two complaints were filed by black men. Crowley was cleared of any wrongdoing in every case.WCVB reported Crowley is on vacation and not worried about the records being made public.
