Suffolk County fired a police officer, won the right to fire a second officer who had already retired and disciplined four others following a 2021 encounter in which a body-worn camera captured officers kicking a handcuffed man who was on his knees, newly obtained records show. An Internal Affairs investigation determined that William Bubeck, along with two other officers, used excessive force after police stopped Christopher Cruz for allegedly driving a stolen vehicle, documents show. The police disciplinary records provide a rare look into how Suffolk County police investigated a high-profile police brutality case in which officers kicked and shoved a handcuffed man and lied about what had occurred.
