Officer Bartko was involved in the arrest of Judge Carlia M. Brady in June 2013. Brady alleged that Bartko failed to check his voicemail messages, which contained information about the whereabouts of her ex-boyfriend, Jason Prontnicki, who had outstanding warrants. Despite Brady’s attempts to inform the police, she was arrested and prosecuted for nearly five years before the charges were dismissed in 2018. Bartko’s actions were central to the claims of malicious prosecution and false arrest brought against the department.
