Two Hialeah Police Department officers are facing charges after authorities said they kidnapped a homeless man, drove him to an isolated location and beat him while he was handcuffed.
The officers encountered Jose Ortega-Gutierrez, who is well known to police as a homeless man who frequents the area, Fernandez Rundle said.
Ortega-Gutierrez said he lost consciousness and woke up unhandcuffed, alone, and bleeding from his head. He started walking and happened to come across an off-duty Hialeah Police officer who was walking his dog and called 911 for him.One of the officers who responded to the scene was contacted by Orfila who inquired about Ortega-Gutierrez's condition and asked the officer to classify the 911 call as"no report," Fernandez Rundle said.
Days after the incident, Ortega-Gutierrez said he was approached by Saleh, who he said identified himself as a private investigator and offered him $1,200 in cash to sign an affidavit that he had been arrested for drinking and hadn't been beaten by the officers, Fernandez Rundle said.
