LOS ANGELES—Two sworn members of the Pomona Police Department who allege that they were subjected to disparate treatment by the department’s former police chief when they returned to work, despite being acquitted of charges related to a confrontation with a teen patron at the 2015 Los Angeles County Fair, can take their case to trial, a judge has ruled.
On July 29, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elaine Lu denied a motion by the city to dismiss the complaint brought by Sgt. Michael Neaderbaomer and Cpl. Chad Jensen. Lu heard arguments on June 1 and took the motion under submission.
