Summary

On October 24, 2015, around 8:30PM, [redacted] had stopped near a gas station at the intersection of East 105th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan. [redacted] and his friend, [redacted] exited the car, a Mitsubishi, to see why it had suddenly started smoking. The car was in a bus lane and had a temporary paper license plate registered to a Chevrolet in New Jersey.
Shortly after they stopped the car, [redacted] and [redacted] were approached by PO Karlina Cortes and Sgt. Edwin Jerez of the 23rd Precinct, who were in the area to investigate a recent shooting. PO Cortes asked [redacted] for his license and registration. After handing her his license, PO Cortes asked [redacted] to go to the back of his car, which he did. Sgt.

After running [redacted]s license, it was found that he had an open I-card issued by the 69th Precinct, alleging that [redacted] had violated an Order of Protection about three weeks earlier when he communicated with his ex-girlfriend.
