The former Westminster Police Department officer, identified as 39-year-old Nicole Brown of Riverside, suffered a “minor abrasion to her forehead while attempting to arrest and handcuff an uncooperative suspect,” on March 30, 2022, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office stated in a news release.


Among Brown’s complaints were headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light and noise, problems processing thoughts and words, and an inability to work on the computer or do any screentime.

About a year later, several people who knew Brown was on disability reported seeing her dancing and drinking at the Stagecoach Music Festival amid loud music, bright lights and temperatures in excess of 100 degrees.

The ensuing investigation found that “three days after the injury, when she called out sick, Brown went to an AYSO soccer conference, in San Diego, where she attended multiple sessions where PowerPoint presentations were utilized,” the DA’s Office said.

While on disability, she is also accused of running in two 5K races, going snowboarding and/or skiing in Big Bear and Mammoth, going to three AYSO soccer conferences, attending baseball games, playing golf, going to Disneyland and taking online courses with a local university, the news release stated.

2. Yes what's up with $600,000? If it's for 3 years it is

Still $200,000 a year. Maybe she had disability insurance?

4. No, it wasn't disability insurance.

The DA’s Office said that payments made while Brown was out on TTD cost the city of Westminster more than $600,000, which was given to her tax-free and also included medical expenses.

There is more information at the link. It was a scam orchestrated by her and her stepfather, who is conveniently an attorney…an attorney with a soon to be suspended license.

Another day I find myself saying “What the fuck is wrong with people!”
