In March 2020, Officer Marlak allegedly slammed a door on a fellow officer, leading to a confrontation and a five-day suspension for Marlak. In January 2021, he was reported for posting an Islamophobic image on Facebook, depicting five men hanging with the caption ‘Islamic Wind Chimes.’ This led to calls for his termination due to violations of the department’s social media policy and concerns about undermining public confidence in the DOC’s commitment to racial equality and religious tolerance.
