Two Phoenix Police Department officers have been arrested and fired following a violent and completely unreported traffic stop that left a couple terrorized in South Phoenix. Officers Luis Vasquez Jr. and Antonio Felix, both assigned to the South Mountain Precinct, are accused of using extreme force during the August 5 incident near 19th Avenue and Broadway Road.
According to reports, the officers allegedly tased the female passenger multiple times, including on a higher setting, put her in an arm bar, and left her handcuffed on the sidewalk. The male driver was reportedly punched repeatedly in the head, had his hair pulled out, was tased, and had a gun pointed at him while one of the officers counted down and threatened to shoot. The entire encounter went unreported and neither officer activated their body worn cameras.
The case only came to light after the couple fled the scene and their vehicle later became disabled in Tempe. Tempe police initially believed the attackers may have been impersonating officers because Phoenix PD had no record of the stop. Phoenix Police later confirmed the two men involved were their own officers. Chief Matt Giordano announced the arrests and held a press conference as the department faces intense scrutiny.
