A Brooklyn man claims workers at a New Jersey electronics store detained him, frisked him and even called local cops on him for "shopping while black" — and he's an NYPD cop!
Officer Sammari Malcolm, 40, who works out of Staten Island's 120th Precinct, is suing the PC Richard & Son in Lawrenceville for $5.75 million, claiming its staff detained and frisked him, and then called local cops on him, after he tried to buy a pricey Sony flat-screen TV with his own credit card, even showing his driver's license as backup ID.
Malcolm says he bought the $3,000 TV and over $1,000 worth of other electronics on Sept. 30 — but even after his credit card was accepted, store staff surrounded Malcolm and said he was under arrest for using a stolen credit card and a fake driver's license, according to his Brooklyn Supreme Court suit.
They detained him for at least two hours, called cops to report a "suspicious male black" and asked him how he got his credit card, according to the lawsuit.
"When plaintiff asked, 'Did you profile me?' [manager] Benedetto Aiello responded, 'Yes, because we get hit a lot with people from New York.'"
Store manager Aiello, reached by phone, declined to comment. Local police referred calls to Lawrence Township, which declined to comment.
