Cop Arrested For DWI After Driving Wrong Way Down 2nd Ave.
Had enough? Write to the Speaker of the House, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 and demand federal
hearings into the police problem in America.
Demand mandatory body cameras for cops, one strike rule on abuse, and a
permanent DOJ office on Police
Misconduct.
An off-duty cop was charged with drunk driving
after getting into an accident on the Upper East Side last night. Police say
that Officer Raymond Dimaria, 35, drove the wrong way down Second Avenue and
smashed into a Nissan Maxima on East 63rd Street around 1:20 a.m.
The
40-year-old driver of the other car was taken to Bellevue Hospital and treated
for minor injuries. Dimaria, who joined the NYPD in 2005, was arrested and
charged with driving while intoxicated. He was also suspended from duty from
the 66th Precinct in Brooklyn after his arrest.
Dimara
joins an illustrious group of on-duty and off-duty cops who have been arrested
for drinking, including Officer Rafael Casiano, Officer Christopher Morris,
Officer Edilio Mejia, Sergeant Diego Vivar, and Officer Anthony Rodriguez.
