The incident began at approximately 2:50 p.m. when the subject Allan Feliz, a 31 year old male was observed by the officers driving a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. Sergeant Rivera, assigned with police officer Edward Barrett and police officer Michelle Almanzar stop the vehicle opposite 3555 Bainbridge Avenue.
