Aventura Police Officer Found Guilty of Illegally Detaining Two Individuals at Gunpoint
An officer with the Aventura Police Department reportedly took two individuals hostage on May 20 and held them hostage according to an arrest warrant, authorities reported.
The couple claimed they stopped by the mall to buy clothes before heading to perform at the Haitian Compas festival in Miami. Once their purchase had been paid for and parked in their car, they noticed an iPhone that wasn’t their own; communication had taken place with Delgado’s wife to return it; when they went back to his Pompano Beach residence to do so however, an officer detained them and pointed a gun in their direction.
After reporting their encounter with Aventura police, an investigation began and on Tuesday a jury found Delgado guilty of his alleged crimes; now, Broward State Attorney’s Office will determine his sentence after eight hours of deliberations among jurors.
