2 more officers suspended over Omaree Varela Case

  
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —Albuquerque police officer Jennifer Jara and Lt. Natalie Sanchez have been suspended because of the way they handled a 2012 incident involving Omaree Varela, Target 7 has learned.
Jara was suspended for 40 hours and Sanchez was suspended for eight hours. Their suspensions include additional classroom time and further training on child abuse laws.
Jara responded to Omaree's school in October 2012 after he told a teacher told his mother beat him with a phone and belt.
Jara went to Omaree's school and wrote a report on the incident and notified the Children, Youth and Families Department. But disciplinary paperwork obtained by Target 7 said there were problems with the way evidence was processed in the case. There were also issues with the followup in the case.
Omaree was killed in December 2013. Police have charged his mother Synthia Varela Casaus in connection to his death.
The October 2012 call was one of three confirmed incidents where police investigated suspected abuse of Omaree.
The police officers' union told Target 7 they have not been asked to speak on behalf of Jara and Sanchez.
Jara and Sanchez are the latest officers to be disciplined for their actions in the numerous incidents involving Omaree.
Last week, Target 7 learned Officer Gil Vigil was fired and Officer Scott McMurrough was suspended after they were called to Omaree's home following an open 911 call in June 2013.
A dispatcher urged them to listen to 911 audio but they didn't. When they got there, they spoke to Omaree, Varela-Casaus and the boy's stepfather, Steve Casaus.
The officers' lapel video from the incident is 15 minutes long, but the officers were logged out on the call for nearly two hours.

Their sergeant Bruce Werely received a letter of reprimand in his personnel file.
