Sinatra and three other members of service from Queens North Narcotics—Detective Victor Rosario, PO Julio Meyreles, and PO Eric Moy—were driving in an unmarked vehicle when they observed [redacted] walking on the sidewalk, allegedly smoking a marijuana cigarette. This was undisputedly the only reason to approach [redacted].\n\nPO Moy stopped the vehicle approximately two car lengths behind [redacted] who continued to walk on the sidewalk. Sgt. Sinatra and PO Meyreles exited the vehicle and, within a few seconds, [redacted] looked behind him and began to run. Sgt. Sinatra and PO Meyreles gave chase on foot, while PO Moy and Det. Rosario reversed in their vehicle in the direction of [redacted]'s flight. Video footage captures this portion of the incident.\n\nAs he drove in reverse, PO Moy passed the fleeing [redacted] and stopped the vehicle in the street. Det. Rosario exited the vehicle and stepped in [redacted]'s path on the sidewalk, causing the two to collide and [redacted] to stop. Sgt. Sinatra reached [redacted] a couple of seconds after he collided with Det. Rosario. Video footage indicates that within two seconds of Sgt. Sinatra reaching [redacted], Sgt. Sinatra appears to punch him in the face (Allegation A).\n\nThe CCRB found evidence to suggest that Sgt. Sinatra provided a false official statement regarding this incident (Allegation B), which was referred to IAB as a spin-off case on April 13, 2016 (Board Review 02).","witness_officers":[{"last_name":"Meyreles","first_name":"Julio","officer_id":"4AC3"},{"last_name":"Moy","first_name":"Eric","officer_id":"DF7X"},{"last_name":"Rosario","first_name":"Victor","officer_id":"MDVM"}],"id":201601667,"url":"https://www.50-a.org/complaint/201601667"}
