Lieutenant David Strawn – Bethlehem Police Department

Lieutenant David Strawn was involved in the internal investigation following the April 2005 arrest of Reynaldo Lopez, a disabled man. After the incident, Officer Russell Lande reported concerns about the use of excessive force during the arrest. Strawn conducted an investigation into Lande’s actions, leading to Lande’s suspension for allegedly violating department procedures. The handling of the investigation and the subsequent disciplinary actions raised questions about internal accountability and the department’s response to reports of misconduct.
