NEW YORK CITY — It was a bad weekend for misbehaving members of the NYPD.

Three police officers were arrested, and two other staffers who work for the police department, were arrested on a variety of charges that ran the gamut from DWI and unlawful surveillance to criminal possession of a weapon and leaving the scene of an accident, according to police.

The rash of arrests started Friday morning, when police arrested Miguel Gomez, a 41-year-old cop, on unlawful surveillance, police said. Gomez was nabbed after caught spying on a 21-year-old female neighbor with video cameras he mounted in his Bronx building, to watch her comings and goings, the NY Daily News reported.

He had served on the police force for eight years, the paper reported.

Just three hours later, Traffic Agent Denise Johnson, 37, was arrested in the Bronx after police found stolen belongings and fake guns in her Dodge Charger, the NY Post wrote.

Police had recovered footage of her son and his friend allegedly trying to sell stolen goods from five robberies, the Post reported. When they confronted Johnson, a five-year veteran, she refused to comply and police found the items in her car, the paper wrote. Johnson was charged with criminal possesion of a weapon, possession of stolen property, and obstruction of government administration.

On Saturday, Bronx police arrested Curline Brown, 55, an adminsitrative aide for the NYPD, with criminal possesion of a controlled substance, police said. It was not clear immediately what the substance was, but a source said it was not marijuana.

Two police officers were arrested Sunday in Queens for driving while intoxicated, police said. One officer, Joseph King, 28, was arrested at 4:41 a.m. after getting into a car accident, and fleeing the scene, then refusing to take a breathalyzer, police said. He was charged with DWI, leaving the scene of an accident, and refusing a breath test, police said, but had no details on where or when the crash occurred, or if any civilians or other cars were involved.

The other police officer, Dennis Munge, 32, was also arrested for DWI in Queens, but it was unclear how police discovered he was driving drunk, and a police spokesperson had no information about the arrest's details.
