Their blood tests came back clean. By then, it was too late.
Not included among those nine is the case of Harley Padilla—even though the severely disabled man was forced to spend a year in jail when Haferman arrested him after he said Padilla was slurring his words and that his balance was uneven. After a motorcycle accident four years prior, the 52-year-old lost his left arm and is forced to speak through a hole in his throat.
“The internal affairs investigation did not identify any malintent or criminal violations,” the spokesperson said. “It did reveal a pattern of poor performance in terms of administrative responsibilities, procedural consistency, and adherence to the standards of operation that we train and expect from our officers.”
Another woman told a local news outlet that she was forced to stay in jail overnight even though she repeatedly explained to Haferman that her eyes were red because she had just beenHaferman did not respond to a request for comment for this story. And his record is not unblemished: if he were to apply to a new department, the state’s “Peace Officer Standards and Training” database would show the cop “resigned while under investigation.
That number is not, in and of itself, terribly surprising given that Haferman worked in a DUI enforcement assignment at the time. Padilla was no stranger to being pulled over. He was also not innocent of driving-related crimes, having pleaded guilty or no contest to several DUIs over the years. But he told The Daily Beast that history—and his physical state—had left him trying harder than ever “to do everything right on the road.”
At the end of his bench trial, a judge agreed with him that he wasn’t drunk driving. But Padilla was found guilty of possessing an open marijuana container in his car and acknowledged that he had THC in his system—though the blood test result showed it was below the state limit for driving, and he said it was purchased with his medical marijuana card.
Haferman refused and continued to ask him whether he consumed alcohol—in response to which Elias insisted on speaking to his attorney. In the footage, Elias is heard telling Haferman that the handcuffs were hurting him. While it’s been months since the district attorney dismissed charges against Elias, he stressed that the “problem didn’t necessarily go away.” In addition to what he claims is emotional distress from the arrest, he said he has lost his former sense of safety and security in his community that has him “constantly looking over my shoulder.”
Groves was eventually arrested and forced to go to the hospital to get a blood test before eventually getting placed in a jail cell for a day. The district attorney eventually dismissed his DUI in June—and his careless driving charge two months later.
