In May 2009, Officer Jorge Diaz was involved in an incident where he allegedly used excessive force during the arrest of a resident. The resident claimed that after being handcuffed, Officer Diaz violently elbowed him in the eye without provocation. The court found sufficient evidence to deny Officer Diaz’s claim to qualified immunity regarding the excessive force claim, allowing the case to proceed to trial. The outcome of the trial is not specified in the available information.
