JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A JSO officer investigated, suspended and written up a number of times since 2006 is in trouble once again.
JSO internal affairs found Officer Gabriel Dobkin did not conform to JSO work standards. And because of his disciplinary history, Dobkin also faces a charge of incompetence for repeated infractions.
The latest investigation began in April 2009, when Alonza Anderson complained to police.
Anderson told investigators Dobkin pulled him over on Monument Road, near Tredinick, after he made an illegal u-turn.
Dobkin followed Anderson to a gas station. Anderson told detectives Dobkin came to his car with his gun drawn and was aggressive and rude.
According to the internal affairs report, Anderson told police, "Dobkin pointed his firearm at him unnecessarily, handcuffed him and detained him in the backseat of the patrol car for no reason."
Dobkin told investigators after he saw the illegal u-turn, he tried to pull Anderson over. Dobkin says Anderson was, "...traveling at a low speed....Anderson failed to stop right away." Dobkin said he thought Anderson was looking for a place to "bail."
Dobkin admitted he didn't call for backup because, "he did not know what he had and did not think one would be available."
But minutes after the traffic stop, Dobkin uncuffed Anderson, let him out of the police car and just gave him a ticket.
According to the internal affairs report, "Dobkin did not follow Sheriff's Office policy. The scenario....
did not fit the criteria for a felony (known risk) traffic stop. By approaching Anderson with his weapon pointed at him, Dobkin escalated the danger in what was essentially an unknown risk traffic stop."In 2007, Dobkin was written up for insubordination.
In 2006, he was suspended. The suspension came after neighbors at an Arlington apartment complex called 911 three times begging for police to hurry and help a 5-year-old girl that was being beaten.
Twenty-four minutes after the first 911 call, Dobkin finally arrived. He had been two miles away.
According to that investigative report, Dobkin had stopped to write a ticket for an expired tag when he was dispatched to the emergency.
Dobkin was reprimanded for failure to conform to work standards, failure to take appropriate action and incompetency. He was suspended for six days.
It's unclear right now what kind of discipline will come from the latest investigation.
Dobkin has been on the force since 2003.
JSO did not respond to requests for comment about Dobkin. We also requested to speak to the officer. JSO told First Coast News it would relay the message to him, but did not call back about Dobkin's interview.
