Officer Sampson disobeyed a lawful order from a supervisor to respond to a high-priority assignment, intentionally claiming she was unable to locate the scene. She then began yelling, "He's got me messed up sending me to that job," and "I'll book off," after which she booked off, citing a migraine. Her refusal required another unit to leave its fixed post to handle the call. Newark PD sustained charges of insubordination, neglect of duty and unauthorized absence and suspended Sampson for 10 days.
