Sgt. Christopher Pullease of the Sunrise Police Department was placed on desk duty after the release of body camera footage from an incident on November 19th, 2021. Footage shows Pullease grabbed another young officer by the throat after she stopped him from pepper-spraying an already handcuffed arrestee.
“I find this behavior to be disgusting”, said Chief Anthony Rosa in an interview with WLRN 7 News, omitting that the officer in question was not even placed on administrative leave and remains on full-pay status while serving desk duty.
