According to the police, they found Brian Mulligan high on bath salts after “several” calls had been placed about a man in the area “trying to break into cars” that fit Mulligan’s description. He supposedly told them he was “tired,” which they say is why they drove him to a motel to get some shuteye. When he (allegedly) emerged hours later and started running through traffic despite officers’ orders to get out of the street, later assuming a “fight stance,” they decided it was necessary to deal with him in an aggressive manner. Didn’t want to, felt they owed it to him. According to Mulligan, it was more like this:
The former banker contended in a lawsuit that contrary to reports that he tried to assault the officers, the men tried to extort about $3,000 from him on the night of May 15. They later severely beat him, leaving injuries that required extensive facial surgery, according to the complaint…In the lawsuit, he contends that he had stopped by a pharmacy to buy THC pills as sleeping aids. Officers Nichols and Miller stopped him, made him take a sobriety test and searched him. After finding $3,000 in cash — an amount Mr. Mulligan said was necessary for business travel — in the banker’s car, the officers handcuffed him and took him to a nearby motel. They warned him not to leave, lest he end up dead, according to the complaint. Mr. Mulligan said he then fled the motel, fearing for his life, but ran into the officers, who hit him in the head and broke his shoulder blade, according to the complaint. At one point, Officer Nichols told Mr. Mulligan, “You’re going to die tonight of a heroin overdose,” the complaint contends.

If you were put in a motel room and told that if you left you would be killed, and if you were suitably fearful for your life, wouldn't the safest decision be to stay put?
- Guy who has never taken THC and admittedly doesn't know how that would impact the decision-making process
Credit Suisse has a branch in Florida? This sounds like a Florida story.
I also find it necessary to carry $3,000 in cash for "business" travel.
German bankers ….. savage beatings….eye to eyes……increasing nervousness.
I guess for LAPD it's normal procedure to take someone to a motel for some shuteye. You think for guy with 3K is in pocket, they could have taken him to say a courtyard marriott.
"THC" might make you want to stay in the hotel room and watch Dumb & Dumber but I think we're talking about something significantly stronger here.
Strange – I believe both sides of the story.

Clearly you listened to me. I'm very proud of you for just saying no.

If he was running around in traffic, checking into a motel, etc., etc., weren't there some other witnesses to this nonsense in addition to the three people involved?
-guy who thinks it should be perfectly legal anyway to clock smirking media I-bankers in the face with shovels
Sounds like you had a lot of fun in college.
Hey, he looks like a pretty nice guy, definitely going to invite him to my welcome home party!
Guess what I make a 4 figure salary. I have made about $7000 a year for the last 5 years. I'm a college grad living at home. Don't give me this #$%$ about living above my means. I'm living far below my means. Where are the jobs? Why are 60% of college grads under employed or not employed. It's only going to get worse folks.
Hey! We make the same amount!
Jon Shazzy aka Mr. $7K a year
Where the fk in the LAPD's procedure manual is the part about taking suspects to randomly selected local hotels??
Cops are going to lose this one.
Yikes, Jon. You are grossly overpaid.
Okay… here's what I want. First… we both get naked. Except… we're both wearing sailor hats. Then we get into a jacuzzi filled with Pepto-Bismol, I clip your toenails, and you shave my buttocks.
Becca, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but there are actually plenty of opportunities out there. I know a way that you, too, can become a millionaire, while working out of home, and helping your family and friends become healthier, and sticking it to obnoxious know-it-all hedge fund managers, all at the same time . . .

So…you could fund Brian Mulligan's business travel exactly 2.3 times over?
You're living far below your means? So you're saving most of that $7k/year and not spending it?
This year's handbook was made possible through the generous contributions of Choice Hotels, and taxpayers like you.

Also, if you're feeling down on yourself, maybe go visit a nearby schoolyard and physically assault some members of the tribe.
They had to rewrite the manual recently, the guy they picked to do it took the job as an exit opp from UBS LA, that office really has gone down hill.
I bet a celebrity was involved but not mentioned (see comments about being the curiosity of LAPD taking him to a motel) with story of the "former top media banker" . An episode of "Entourage" could be made about that.
What did you do for the last 5 years to make $7,000?
Exactly $7,000 each year? Gross?
Was it a single annual job?
- guy who's trying to crack the case
But…. how much would it cost?
define "under employed"
– guy who took a shitty job straight out of college and realized he had to work hard to succeed, rather than just expect to be handed a MD position
dont get mad.. get even
-Chris Dorner
I don't find either side of the story at all implausible — he probably was on drugs and the cops probably did savagely beat him and try to exort money. Happens every fucking day
Go to UBS
We recommend the Victory Motel for this sort of thing.

Since when did pharmacies start carrying THC pills?
Right you are boyo

All my legitimate deals close between 2 and 3 am…and must have at least $5000 cash to cover incidentals.
