Stockton Police Sergeant no longer employed after sexual battery claim made against him
STOCKTON — The Stockton Police Department no longer employs a former Sergeant after a woman filed a sexual battery claim against him in May 2022.
Stockton Police clarified that as of Oct. 13, Sergeant Nicholaus Bloed is no longer employed by the department.
In July, the department told CBS13 that they launched an internal investigation of the incident, and Bloed was put on paid leave.
A statement from the department from this week can be found below.
The Stockton Police Department takes pride in our service, is vigilant in our integrity, and respects the honorable profession that law enforcement is and the oath we swore to uphold.
The May 2022 complaint states that in Oct. 2021, Bloed pulled over a woman for driving a vehicle that was not registered or displaying a license plate.
He took her phone away, asked for her passcode, and returned shortly later to give it back to her, choosing not to issue a citation, warning, or notify her of the multiple misdemeanor warrants for her arrest.
The complaint goes on to describe several allegations from the same woman that span months.
