When the officers were heard coming down the steps, Tolstoy took his hands off her and told her to go to the kitchen, she said.
Nunez, Gonzalez's husband, admits that he had a small amount of marijuana, which police found in a kitchen cabinet. He insists that he never had nor sold cocaine.
The officers ransacked the house for more than three hours, Gonzalez said. They didn't find anything more than her husband's dime bag of weed, until Jeffrey Cujdik decided to check the back room off the kitchen one last time, Gonzalez said.
He emerged with a teddy bear that he said contained a small pouch that held 47 packets of cocaine.
Nunez, a truck driver, is accused of drug-dealing. His case is pending.
Gonzalez has filed a civil lawsuit against the nine officers who participated in the raid. The suit, filed in federal court, seeks more than $600,000 in damages and attorneys' fees.
The city has filed a motion to put the case on hold. "Due to the possibility of criminal charges being filed, the individual defendant officers cannot be compelled to testify at a deposition due to possible Fifth Amendment concerns," Assistant City Solicitor Armando Brigandi wrote in a May 4 filing.
Gonzalez said she was outraged that superiors didn't immediately remove Tolstoy from the street after she told Internal Affairs investigators that he had molested her.
Internal Affairs has investigated Tolstoy before.
He was taken off the street from Oct. 16, 2008, until Jan. 12, 2009, DiLacqua said.
Tolstoy was restricted to desk duty at narcotics headquarters, but was permitted to keep his police-issued weapon.
Tolstoy was put back on the street "because the direction of the investigation led us to believe it was OK at the time," DiLacqua said.
DiLacqua declined to say what had prompted the October 2008 removal of Tolstoy, but sources familiar with the case say it happened after a woman complained of sexual misconduct.
The Daily News was unable to find the woman who sparked the Internal Affairs investigation. But Daily News reporters knocked on doors or made calls to roughly 100 homes raided by Tolstoy and fellow squad members in 2007 and 2008, and found at least 12 women who said the officers degraded and demeaned them.
Denise Thompson, 48, of West Philadelphia, said an officer, whom she described as white and stocky with brown hair, took her alone to an upstairs bedroom when a house on Redfield Street was raided last August.
"He asked me what my chest size was," said Thompson, who was wearing a white low-cut dress at the time of the raid. "I said, 'What has that got to do with anything?' "
"I thought it was sexual harassment," she said.
In a June 2008 raid of a Northeast Philly home, a female occupant said that four male officers barreled into her bedroom, even though her husband had told them she was upstairs asleep, naked.
