April 1, 2008 - An Orlando police officer was suspended for one day after he pushed a woman down a set of stairs, an incident that was caught on video.
Officer Fernando Trinidad said it was closing time at what was then Club Paris when Jessica Aspirilla started to argue with him on April 12, 2007. Aspirilla stuck out her tongue and spit in his face twice and, the officer said, when he tried to grab her she fell down the stairs. He charged Aspirilla for battery on an officer and resisting arrest, but all charges were dropped.
Orlando police launched an investigation when they recently saw a surveillance tape showing the incident. Aspirilla did not file a complaint, but investigators found that Trinidad violated conduct and filed a false police report.
