NOTICE OF FORMAL COMPLAINT
ICMS #: 2021-0614
June 22, 2021
Complaint: The complainant alleges: A yesterday evening he went to a taco stand on
,
and when was trying to order a white woman begin asking telling him "oh you have Ebola", he
told the lady to move away from him and she continued with ranting and flicked him on his
forehead. The taco stand owner told the complainant the woman had been there for a while and
asked her if she could leave. After completing his order, the complainant went to sit down while
waiting and the woman decided to come to him and continue her harassment, she then hit him with
a glass Coca-Cola bottle on his leg 2x. The complainant then called 911 about the incident because
he didn't' want to defend himself and get into trouble. Two officers
&
)
came out and did not arrest the woman because complainant stated white privilege and also the
officer stated that because they didn't' see it happen they couldn't arrest her, they instead kept
telling the woman if she left they would allow her to do SO. The complainant asked to speak to a
supervisor since he didn't feel like they were giving him any help stating that if he was the
aggressor it would've been completely different because he is a Mexican man. Sergeant
then came out and also supported the other officers in not arresting the woman.
Complainant states this is not right and would be completely different for any minority or person
with a past background. He stated he was trying to do the right thing instead of using his own self-
defense toward the woman off and the officers who are supposed to protect everyone did not do
that, instead he felt they allowed her being a white woman to go and doesn't even know if they
took her in or not. He wanted to file charges against her and wasn't given that option. The
complainant recorded moments from the incident.
This notice of formal 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.
