\tA former NYPD detective says he was robbed by Mexican cops in Cancun.<\/p>\n
\tDaniel Sprague, 42, of Staten Island, a retired member of the elite Emergency Service Unit, said he was at a timeshare with his wife and three young children earlier this month when he confronted a woman taking an unusual number of pictures of his kids swimming.<\/p>\n
\tSecurity was called but the guards did nothing, he said.<\/p>\n
\tLater, Sprague\u2019s wife spotted the woman in an elevator and took a picture of her. Sprague said the woman then punched his wife in front of their children. <\/p>\n
\tAfter Sprague interceded, the stranger accused him of hitting her. <\/p>\n
\tLocal cops took him into custody, but instead of taking him to a station house, they drove him around in circles, telling him how much trouble he was in and what it would take to make it go away.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cI was a cop in the worst neighborhoods, and I always came home,\u201d Sprague said. <\/p>\n
\tNow, he said, \u201cI\u2019m on vacation, and I\u2019m wondering if I\u2019m ever going to see my kids again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tThe Mexican officers knew he was a retired NYPD officer, he said, but couldn\u2019t have cared less.<\/p>\n
\tSprague said he gave the cops $500 and was taken back to his hotel, only to be squeezed later by different cops who insisted the woman wanted to press charges. He had to give them another $1,000.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWhen I was on the job, I never took anything from anybody.\u201d Sprague said. \u201cHere, everybody was taking my money.\u201d<\/p>\n
