A New Jersey police sergeant, Darryl Brown, has been charged with stealing approximately $10,000 worth of cameras and equipment from photojournalist Angelina Katsanis during a protest outside a Newark immigration jail. The incident occurred on Saturday night when Katsanis was injured and left her gear bag behind. After using a geo-tracking device, she traced the bag to Brown's home. The New Jersey Attorney General's office reported that Brown was found with the missing items after a search warrant was executed at his residence. Brown faces charges of third-degree theft and has been suspended without pay. Katsanis reported suffering injuries but did not break any bones. The protests at the detention center have been ongoing, with recent escalations due to claims of poor living conditions for detainees.
