Officer assigned to administrative duties after Tyreek Hill incident has a checkered history – NBC 6 South Florida

The personnel file of a Miami-Dade police officer who was taken off the street after the arrest of Dolphins star Tyreek Hill has a checkered history.

Records obtained by NBC6 show that 27-year-old police officer Danny Torres was on probation for up to 50 days in six different cases.

Many of the complaints against him were exonerated, but eight remained pending an internal investigation. The complaints involved excessive force and improper conduct by an officer, as well as misuse of his body camera.

The records show that Torres has also received nearly three dozen awards, including for his work in May of last year.

Torres will remain in administrative duties pending the results of an internal investigation.

Ignacio Alvarez, Torres' lawyer, had previously called for his client's immediate reinstatement in a statement while respecting the department's request for an investigation.

Hill did not mince his words when outlining what action he believes should be taken against the officer.

“Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. He's got to go, man,” Hill said.

Miami-Dade police have identified the veteran officer assigned to administrative duties after Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill was arrested in handcuffs outside Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. Officer Danny Torres, a 27-year veteran of the department, will remain assigned to administrative duties while an internal investigation is completed, Miami-Dade police said Tuesday.
