Further details on conclusions.
On April 20, 2015, at approximately 6:30 p.m., near [redacted] in the Bronx, [redacted] was driving when he was pulled over by Sgt. Robert King and PO Tony Basilio of the 52nd Precinct (Allegation A). When the officers ran [redacted] license, they determined it was suspended. Although [redacted] claims to have shown the officers paperwork indicating that the suspension was lifted, the officers asked him to step out of the vehicle and arrested him. Before [redacted] was removed from the vehicle, Sgt. King searched the vehicle (Allegation B). After [redacted] was removed from the vehicle and arrested, Sgt. King again searched the vehicle (Allegation C). Also during the stop, PO Basilio allegedly pushed [redacted] in a way that caused an injury to his wrist (Allegation D). [redacted] was taken to the stationhouse and eventually released with a summons and a DAT. During the investigation, the undersigned determined there is evidence suggesting Sgt. Robert King provided a false official statement in violation of Patrol Guide section 203-08 (Allegation E).
The case received coverage in the NY Daily News (Board Review 01) and as a result, was placed on the CCRB's sensitive case list. The case was originally assigned to Investigator Rebecca Jacobson, but on September 18, 2015, it was reassigned to Investigative Manager Peter Hoy due its sensitive nature.
