Dragnet - The Big Fake

Detective Sergeants Joe Friday and Ben Romero, working the day watch out of Personnel, arrive at the Assembly Room of Central Division at 5:25 PM. Ben says "Do you see him, Joe?" Joe says "Yeah, that looks like him over there". They walk up to him, and Joe says "Hi. Are you Russell Clark?" He says "Yeah, that's right". Joe says "Friday and Romero, Personnel. Lieutenant Drummond over at the Bureau of Internal Affairs would like to talk to you". Clark says "Alright, when did he want to see me?" Ben says "Right now". Clark says "Okay, let's go". As they are walking, Clark asks "What do they want to see me about, you know?" Joe says "Drummond will tell you". Ben asks "How long you been on the job, Clark?" He says "About two and a half months". Joe asks "How do you like it?" Clark says "Oh, I like it fine. My wife doesn't think much of it. She wanted me to stay at my old job". Joe asks "What was that?" Clark says "Selling insurance". As they arrive at the office, Ben says "This is Officer Clark, Lieutenant Drummond". Clark says "How do you do, sir?" Drummond says "How are you, Clark? Sit down. I have a couple of questions for you. You were on special duty at the Olympic auditorium last night, is that right?" Clark says "Yes sir, for the fights". Drummond asks "Did anything unusual happen out there last night?" Clark says "Well, it wasn't very important, Lieutenant. After the fights, a drunk fell down the stairs on the way out of the auditorium, and broke his arm. I took him to Georgia Street and they took care of the arm and I drove him home. He was pretty drunk". Drummond asks "Why didn't you book the man?" Clark says "I didn't think it was necessary. The man was in pretty bad shape. Drummond says "Law is there for a purpose. You decided to forget it, now you're in a mess, right up to your neck". Clark says "I don't understand". Drummond asks "Do you remember his name?" Clark says "Yes, sir, his name was Stacy, lives out in West LA" Drummond says "Mr. Stacy, wants to file a complaint against you. He claims you took him back to the auditorium, beat him up, broke his arm, and robbed him of 128 dollars".
