An NYPD sergeant who killed a drug dealer fleeing on a scooter in the Bronx when he hurled a cooler at him is now under police protection after a “viable threat” was made on his life, police and sources said.
Duprey sold crack cocaine to the sergeant on Aqueduct Avenue in the Bronx before he tried to flee on a scooter, police said. The department’s Intelligence Division found that possible relatives of Duprey in Pennsylvania “put a hit” on the police officer in retaliation for the cooler killing, the sources said. The NYPD is installing cameras at the sergeant’s Putnam County home and has stationed officers there, the sources said. His attorney, Andrew Quinn, has said his client would be “exonerated.”
