The Civilian Complaint Review Board found that two New York City police officers abused authority in the arrest of Hawks player Thabo Sefolosha in April.
The board, an independent government agency, reported in a letter to Sefolosha’s attorney Alex Spiro that there was substantiated evidence that JohnPaul Giacona and Richard Caster abused authority. The board also found that Giacona spoke discourteously and threatened the use of force to Sefolosha. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
