Investigation of Eric Garner death ends with NYPD sergeant getting docked vacation days
By AARON KATERSKY and BILL HUTCHINSON Aug 21, 2019, 5:13 PM ET
An NYPD sergeant who supervised an officer fired this week for causing the death of Eric Garner will not face a departmental disciplinary trial and officials said all disciplinary actions stemming from the incident have now been concluded.
Sgt. Kezzy Adonis, however, will be docked 20 vacation days for failure to properly supervise former officer Daniel Pantaleo, who according to a disciplinary judge put Garner in a department-banned chokehold, which contributed to his death.
"This disciplinary case was adjudicated," NYPD Assistant Commissioner Devora Kaye said in a statement on Wednesday.
Adonis had pleaded guilty to departmental charges and accepted the loss of her vacation days, eliminating the need for a departmental trial, officials said.
She remains a sergeant on full duty, officials said.
