A New York cop allegedly let a wanted man leave a minor traffic accident just minutes before he allegedly fatally struck a pedestrian while on drugs.
reportedly allowed a wanted man to leave a minor car accident just minutes before the suspect is alleged to have fatally struck a pedestrian with a vehicle while high on drugs.
Suspect Antonio Robles-Sanchez, 42, was involved in a fender bender in Scarsdale, located roughly 30 miles from New York City in Westchester County, just after 10:25 a.m Aug. 26, according to The Journal News of Rockland/Westchester. No one was injured in the accident, and there was minor damage to Robles-Sanchez’s car and another vehicle. A rookie Scarsdale officer, identified as Ainsley Brown, assisted the suspect and the other person involved in the accident to exchange insurance information and move the vehicles from blocking traffic at an intersection, the outlet reported.
It is unclear how much time Robles-Sanchez spent interacting with the officer. But he was allowed to go on his way. It is unclear if the officer ran a check on Robles-Sanchez’s license, which may have flagged a warrant for his arrest in Pennsylvania. The Journal News reported an internal investigation was opened into the matter. Scarsdale Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment Wednesday.
Less than 45 minutes after the accident, sometime before 11:15 a.m., Robles-Sanchez allegedly drove his Dodge pickup truck over a curb in the neighboring town of Greenburgh, striking and killing 65-year-old Stephanie Kavourias. Emergency response teams performed CPR on Kavourias and transported her to a hospital, where she died from her injuries. A neighbor of Kavourias was coincidentally the other motorist involved in Robles-Sanchez’s first accident in Scarsdale, The Journal News reported.
