NEW YORK — An NYPD sergeant claims bosses forced him to undergo a psychiatric exam — and plotted to break into his apartment — in retaliation for his filing a complaint accusing cops of getting drunk on duty at the Electric Zoo music festival.
Sgt. Jose Dume never set foot on Randalls Island during the three-day September music bash — he was on leave in Europe helping his girlfriend’s family relocate from war-torn Ukraine.
But last week bosses filed departmental charges against the 11-year NYPD veteran for taking the leave of absence from Manhattan Narcotics North without approval — an allegation Dume denies and says is part of the retaliation he is fighting.
