Former Officer William Escobar was involved in multiple incidents of misconduct. In 2014, he was caught on camera punching, dragging, and kicking a handcuffed man, leading to his termination and subsequent reinstatement after a not guilty verdict. In 2020, he submitted a false report and failed to report possible crimes he witnessed, resulting in his placement on a ‘last chance’ contract and eventual reassignment to a civilian position in the 911 center.
