Documents reveal a pattern of aggressive behavior by Miami-Dade Officer Danny Torres, who was recently caught on body camera forcibly removing Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill from his vehicle during a traffic stop. Internal affairs records show Torres has faced multiple disciplinary actions for similar incidents in the past.
Documents shed light on Miami-Dade Officer Danny Torres, who got physical with Tyreek Hill during a traffic stop in September.outside Hard Rock Stadium in September has been repeatedly disciplined and suspended after other people complained he became aggressive against them for no good reason, according to internal affairs records obtained by NBC Miami.
The 10-day suspension in 2019 came after a man who complained about the driving of another officer accused Torres of intentionally mutilating the driver’s license Torres demanded he turn over, then citing him for “unlawful use of a mutilated driver’s license.” At that point Torres had committed one of two violations that would be sustained: failing to report the traffic stop to MDPD communications.
Torres said he failed to notify dispatch of his location because he was concerned with “officer safety” - though investigators noted he did not express those concerns to his colleagues outside the bakery and that Montalban was compliant without making any threats. Torres wound up being suspended for five days in 2016 for violating use of force and other policies after the tenants, a married couple, complained, about his interaction with them, according to the documents. Another record released in September indicates it may have been reduced to three days, however.
“We got real close to each other,” Torres recounted to internal investigators, asking the tenant, “What are you going to do?” The witness said he saw Torres go up to the man on the property and chest-bump him. Torres and another officer said the sister who was arrested refused to leave and, when Torres decided to arrest her for disorderly conduct, she resisted. The second officer said Torres grabbed the woman to place her in handcuffs, but the woman jerked her hand away, so Torres used some force to get the cuffs on her.
