GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â An impartial arbitrator ruled last week that the City of Grand Rapids did not have just cause to discipline a GRPD captain who had been placed on leave for his actions involving the handling of a former Marine wrongfully detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Grand Rapids Police Command Officers Association says the city has been ordered to revoke and remove the two-day, 20-hour suspension Curtis Vanderkooi had received.
VanderKooi was the subject of an internal affairs investigation after reporting Jilmar Ramos-Gomez, a former Marine with PTSD, to immigration officials following his arrest at Spectrum Butterworth Hospital.
