Colonel suspended in assault case

[NewsWhore]

A Police colonel who apparently could not take "no" for an answer, along with a private, were both suspended pending a hearing before the District Attorney in Santiago. Lieutenant Colonel de la Cruz Taveras and Private Jose Francisco Reynoso Santos were accused of assault on a female colleague, Sergeant Mildred Cepeda Suarez. The case file says that the Lt. Colonel appeared at the station house in the Ensanche Espaillat to get his friend Yudi Antonio Francisco Reyes who had been detained for damaging private property. The sergeant refused to hand over the prisoner without an order from the prosecutor's office.
