Tige Thompson was stripped of his appointment as sergeant and demoted to patrolman in late June after a two-month internal investigation into the events of April 21, when Oliverio was arrested in the 200 block of Collier Boulevard. Thompson says he followed the law in arresting Oliverio, his chain of command never objected to his actions, and alleges that background documents regarding the arrest were added after an internal investigation of the event began.
