Two more police officers in New Haven, Connecticut, are being fired in connection with a 2022 incident that paralyzed Randy Cox as he was being transported in a police van handcuffed and without a seat belt
The New Haven Board of Police Commissioners voted 5-0 to fire Officer Oscar Diaz and Sergeant Betsy Segui for “violations of General Orders” of the police department, according to a Wednesday statement from Mayor Justin Elicker’s office. The decision comes three weeks after the board voted to dismiss two other police officers – Jocelyn Lavandier and Luis Rivera – who were also involved in Cox’s transport.
” “My two clients and the other two officers have been fired for a terrible injury that happened in an auto accident, which the gentlemen has been fairly compensated,” Mentz added. Police Chief Karl Jacobson in March recommended terminations of five officers involved. A fifth officer, Ronald Pressley, avoided facing a firing decision by retiring in January, CNN previously reported. On June 19, 2022, officers transported Cox following his arrest on suspicion of illegally possessing a handgun.
