He had previously been suspended without pay.<\/p>\n Bronx Criminal Supreme Court Judge Cynthia Isales ordered him held without bail, according to the New York Daily News.<\/p>\n Habib, who joined the department in 2007, was responding to a 911 call at a Bronx catering hall in 2023 when a drunk and disorderly man resisted arrest, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said. Habib placed the man in a chokehold so tight it impeded his breathing and circulation and made him pass out, according to the district attorney.<\/p>\n Jacob Z. Weinstein, Habib\u2019s attorney, argued during the trial that other factors could have caused the man to pass out, including drinking without eating enough food.<\/p>\n Patrick Hendry, president of a New York police union, said the verdict was \u201cfurther proof of a grim reality: every second police officers spend on this job puts them at risk of criminal prosecution, and pervasive anti-police propaganda has made it incredibly difficult to receive a fair trial,\u201d according to the New York Daily News.<\/p>\n Habib was charged under a 2020 city law passed after Floyd\u2019s death that makes it a crime for police officers to use chokeholds or sit, kneel, or stand on someone\u2019s torso during an arrest.<\/p>\n The law was challenged by police unions but was upheld in 2023<\/a> by New York state\u2019s highest court.<\/p>\n Police use of chokeholds was already banned in most cases by NYPD regulations at the time the law was enacted, but officers who used them were rarely prosecuted.<\/p>\n A police officer accused of using a prohibited chokehold on Eric Garner, who died during an arrest in 2014<\/a>, lost his job with the city but faced no criminal charges.<\/p>\n Before his recent arrest, Habib had a history of substantiated misconduct complaints about excessive force and abusing his authority. He was previously cited by the department for using a chokehold in 2017, an incident that was later the subject of news stories<\/a> about officers continuing to use banned restraints.<\/p>\n Habib was also accused of lying under oath<\/a> and tampering with evidence<\/a> in a 2016 gun raid, prompting several defendants to withdraw their guilty pleas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \n Idaho State Police Specialist Steve McClain returned fire at the armed gunman who was outside the Twin Falls restaurant\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \n The reported $20 million planned purchase would equip ICE officers with Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters (G.L.O.V.E.)\n <\/p>\n August 12, 2026 11:57 AM<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \n Deputy Betty Uriegas was patrolling during a tropical storm when a crash left her paralyzed; she had served with the Hall County Sheriff\u2019s Office for nine years\n <\/p>\n August 12, 2026 11:58 AM<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \n Pinellas County Deputy Troy Savetz took the woman from her home before they were both found dead inside a rental vehicle, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said\n <\/p>\n August 12, 2026 12:37 PM<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"INNOUTSHOOTING.png\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786718651_571_.png\")
