Police report
Lenni Rodriguez Cruz, 28, topped off a busy night of crime with an assault on a police officer on Sept. 20, the Associated Press reported. Cruz was allegedly driving a car with license plates that didn’t match, when an officer tried to pull him over. Cruz raced off, driving through a park and hitting four other vehicles before crashing. His breath smelled of alcohol and there was a cup with an alcoholic beverage in the car, police said. Back at the station, Cruz bit off an officer’s left ring finger up to the first knuckle. The Queens DA said he could be looking at 25 years in prison.
