Woman gets probation for run-in with 22nd District officer

Remember Naimah Jones? Back in November, she found a man, who turned out to be a cop, poking around her carful of sleeping kids. Jones told authorities the officer didn’t identify himself when she first told him to get away from the car, and that he proceeded to attack, choke and tase her. She received 18 months’ probation yesterday.

Jones will also need to attend anger management classes, but was found not guilty of child endangerment charges. She was on the second floor of her home getting luggage when the 22nd District Officer, Phillip Sprague, found her children asleep in the car.

The judge sided with Sprague, who said he wore his badge during the incident, and identified himself as a police officer.

The Daily News has the full report from yesterday’s nonjury trial.
