A man in northwest Harris County said he was wrongfully tased and detained by Harris County Precinct 1 deputy constables.
FIEL, a group advocating for immigrants’ rights, sent KPRC 2 the videos. KPRC 2 sent them to Constable Alan Rosen’s Office Friday afternoon. He said he hadn’t seen the videos yet but is opening an internal investigation.
“He said, ‘Stand up, stand back up because somebody is talking to you,’ because I was bending over picking up trash,” Portillo said. “We’re assuming maybe that the neighbor said that there was a terroristic threat made or something, which is part of what we are trying to ask Precinct 1 constables, is where that came from and what was the call made,” Cesar Espinosa, the executive director of FIEL said.
“They took out his change and took out a pack of cigarettes and asked him, ‘Where’s the weapon?’” Espinosa said.“If the officer knows Spanish, most likely they will give it in English first and Spanish second,” he said.
