Trial date set after lawsuit filed by Army officer in wake of Windsor traffic stop

A March 28 trial date has been set after a federal lawsuit was filed in the wake of last year’s controversial traffic stop of a U.S. Army officer in Windsor.

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario is suing the two officers involved in the December 2020 traffic stop, in which officers Daniel Crocker and Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed a uniformed Nazario after holding him at gunpoint. He was also handcuffed.

Gutierrez was fired on April 12, days after video of the stop surfaced. Crocker remains on the force.
