A Phoenix Police Department officer has been charged after he was involved in an on-duty traffic collision in which investigators estimate his speed at more than 50 miles per hour over the posted limit.
According to the Phoenix Police Department, following a thorough review and complete investigation, the Department submitted the report to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for criminal charges related to this incident.
A Grand Jury subsequently charged the officer with aggravated assault and endangerment.
“This is a serious matter,” Phoenix Sgt. Lorraine Fernandez said in a media advisory. “Our officers are expected to uphold the same laws they enforce, and when standards are not met, we have an obligation to act.”
