ICMS #: 2022-1177
On December 28, 2022, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: He hopes Internal Affairs, or the police will get involved
concerning a truck that was wrecked and abandoned.
the first name
, was
the person driving a
with
license plate
and he had an unregistered gun in the vehicle. The complainant called 311 on the
morning of
and left his name and number and nothing was done about it. The
complainant made a report about a truck with a lot of solar equipment being wrecked and
abandoned. The individual that wrecked the truck called him a snitch and all kinds
of
derogatory and racist names. The complainant reported the incident to 311 and when he
called 311 back for a follow-up, he was told there was nothing they could do about it. The
complainant does not know what steps to take. The complainant is in a legal situation right
now and he is hoping APD can look deeper into the situation. He filed a police report with
a detective but was told there was nothing they could do. He is complaining about why
nothing was done. The driver of the wrecked vehicle had bruises from his chin to his mid-
torso and one of his knees was badly bruised because the airbag deployed. The Driver of
the wrecked vehicle pulled a gun on the complainant, SO he called 911. The individual that
wrecked the truck went to the police and told them the complainant was the one that caused
the injuries to him. The gentleman lied to the police telling them he attacked him. There
were visible bruises, SO the complainant was arrested.
This notice of complaint is a request for Internal Affairs to initiate an investigation to
determine if the employee conduct is within compliance of APD policy, Civil Service
Rules, and Municipal Civil Service Rules.
