From the New York Post: A Venezuelan migrant who kicked an NYPD officer during an infamous Times Square brawl was sentenced Tuesday to 364 days behind bars — a punishment the police union slammed as too lenient.
Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, smirked but remained silent when given the chance to speak at his sentencing after he pleaded guilty to second-degree assault last month to the wild caught-on-camera Jan. 27 scuffle between cops and the crew of migrants.
“Mr. Gomez, if you get arrested again in New York state, you will be a predicate felon, and you will wind up upstate,” Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Laura Ward warned Gomez-Izquiel in the brief court appearance.
Gomez-Izquiel became the second suspect to be sentenced in the attack after Kevlin Servita Arocha admitted his guilt in June, who was sentenced to time served.
Outside the courtroom, Police Benevolent Association chief Patrick Hendry declared, “364 days is not enough. This individual should be behind bars a lot longer. If you attack a New York City police officer, you should stay behind bars.”
