NYC police sergeant who hurled plastic cooler at fleeing motorcyclist charged in his death

A New York City police sergeant is facing charges of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and assault after throwing a plastic cooler at a man escaping officers on a motorcycle, leading to a fatal crash.

Erik Duran, 37, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in the Bronx and posted bail set at $150,000, with numerous police officers showing support in court.

Duran, who was suspended following the death of Eric Duprey, later placed on modified duty, was indicted by the state Attorney General Letitia James’ office, responsible for investigating all deaths involving police officers.

Duprey, 30, died shortly after being struck on a Bronx sidewalk in August. The police claimed Duprey attempted to flee on a friend’s motorcycle after selling drugs to an undercover officer, the Associated Press reported.
