Cop under investigation after a 76-year-old man accused him of using excessive force



The officer, Nathanial Robinson, 23, was placed on administrative duty Friday pending the outcome of an internal investigation into whether he violated the use of force policy when he tased Victoria resident Pete Vasquez, said Chief J.J. Craig. The officer was hired after graduating from the police academy two years ago. The incident happened Thursday after Robinson saw an expired inspection sticker on the car Vasquez was driving back to Adam’s Auto Mart, 2801 N. Laurent St., where he helps with mechanical work. Vasquez got out of the car, which is owned by the car lot, attempting to get the manager. He pointed out to the officer the dealer tags on the back of the car, which would make it exempt from having an inspection.

  2. Arrested for an expired inspection sticker.

    Probably a $50 fine. a citation. Not a felony. Not even a misdeanor until one resists arrest, guaranteeing a trip to the station.

    I thought this story was going to be about the elderly vet who was assaulted on his own proprty by cops, when he refused to get off his tractor. They broke 2 OF his ribs.
    Noncompliance leads to assault and battery And Resisting Arrest.

    We are passed the tipping point. Next people start disappearing.

    Soft targets like the elderly and women, while organized crime and muslims get a pass.

      He stated that it was exempt because of the dealer's tags.

    2. I doubt it would have made a difference if the mechanic said he was test driving the car in order to inspect it. Road test is part of state safety inspection and performed before putting new sticker on
      .

    3. exempt because of the dealer's tags.

      I assume the above means that the dealer doesn't have to smog it as that would be the responsibility of a new owner.

  3. Remember, they don't want to hire genius caliber people. High IQ's are "down the road"!

    1. I believe it may have been in New York that a man sued because he was turned down for precisely that reason.
